Staying Warm on a Budget

With the cost of living biting, and winter looming, staying warm for less is something many of us are thinking about.

So many mummies and daddies have told us that they've had huge successes in getting their energy prices under control by using super warm fleeces and other fun finds as much as possible. Sometimes, sitting under a blanket just isn't practical, especially if you've got lots of things to do around the house!

We've found a huge array of exciting and often funny hoodies, slippers, hand warmers and much more during our online shopping spree and wanted to share them with you, to support you in keeping costs down this winter.

Check out the fantastic products we spotted here!

Our verdict...

It always helps to keep costs down where possible, and it isn't always practical to just sit under a quilt in the winter. If you need your arms free, and need to move around the house, then a hooded fleece blanket hoodie is a total game-changer, paired with a fun pair of slippers and microwavable warming plush!
