Winter has firmly set in, with temperatures across the UK taking a nosedive after a relatively mild start to the season for many. Instead of cranking up the central heating, there are more wallet-friendly ways to stay cosy at home, especially when you can snag a £44 heated throw for five quid.
Currently, the Online Home Shop Electric Heated Fleece Over Blanket is on sale for £20, down from its original price of £44. However, shoppers have discovered a way to get it for £4.83 via the money-saving website TopCashback.
The site offers new members a £15 bonus when they spend £15 or more on a single item. Coupled with cashback on purchases made from Online Home Shop, this brings the price down to roughly the cost of a takeaway coffee.
This luxury heated throw, available in one of four colours, could be a game-changer in your home. Crafted from ultra-soft fleece, it’s incredibly plush and provides ample insulation even without its heating capabilities.
But naturally, it also heats up. With nine different temperature settings, you can warm up quickly whether you’re lounging on the sofa, tucked up in bed, or wrapped up at your work-from-home desk, reports Wales Online. It comes with a detachable wire for easy washing machine cleaning, and an auto-off feature for added safety.
OHS shoppers are raving about their purchases, with the product reviews averaging five stars from three glowing testimonials. One customer shared: “Once plugged in it does heat up quickly and holds the heat well,” adding a humorous note: “My dogs and cats think that it’s theirs, so there’s a bit of tug of war with them!”
Another happy shopper exclaimed: “Very pleased with my heated throw,” praising its comfort and potential for savings: “It feels so soft and cosy and should keep me warm all through the winter months whilst also helping to save on heating bills.”
Online Home Shop itself boasts a solid 4.1 out of 5-star rating from over 16,000 reviews on the consumer trust site Trustpilot, offering extra confidence to those new to the brand. A satisfied customer reported: “I’ve been ordering from online home shop for a few years now and every item I’ve received I’ve been happy with,” commending the company’s service: “They’re a great company, keep you informed regarding your order which is usually dispatched within a couple of days.”
However, some customers have pointed out challenges with order fulfilment, especially during peak times. “Items are great and the prices are absolutely fantastic,” one three-star review conceded, before noting, “However, their processing time has always been long. I’ve now placed an order on the 9th of December hoping that the items will arrive on time for Christmas, but they have not shipped the items yet.”
And it seems delivery woes aren’t just a seasonal issue, as another customer remarked on consistent problems: “The product themselves are A1 however the delivery always let’s this company down.”
