With Christmas now just around the corner, many of us are starting to think about what to buy our loved ones. Although you may have had the perfect present picked out for months for some, what about those tricky family members and friends that just seem impossible to buy for? Luckily, we have you covered! An electric blanket is a perfect present for anyone – especially those who just can’t seem to get warm! However, with there being so many electric blankets to choose from, it can be hard to decide which one to opt for. That’s why we’ve put together this handy guide so that you can pick the perfect heated blanket for all of your loved ones this Christmas! Here's which blanket we'd buy for:

The Perfect Couple

If you’re looking for the perfect gift for a couple this Christmas, then a heated blanket couldn’t be more perfect. Not only will it keep them cosy and warm all winter long, but if you opt for a blanket with dual controls, they can both pick the perfect temperature to suit them! This takes away any arguments for couples who have completely different temperature preferences, which can often be a nightmare as the temperature starts to drop. Opting for a more luxurious, fleece-lined electric blanket will also add a stylish touch to their bed – making it ideal for any couple!

With this in mind, we highly recommend our Homefront Fully Fitted Fleece Electric Blanket in the double, king or super king-size. Made from luxurious fleece fabric with 9 heat settings, timer settings and separate body and feet heating – we’re sure the special couple in your life will love this stylish and premium quality heated blanket!

The Style Conscious 

If you’re struggling to find a present for someone who loves their home and always has things looking immaculate, then why not opt for a heated throw? Not only will our throws keep them warm and cosy, but they’ll also add a little extra style and luxury to their home – perfect for anyone who loves their home décor! Our throws can be draped over their bed, or even on their sofa and with throws being super ‘in’ right now (especially during this time of year) this will make the perfect gift!

Depending on the type of décor they have, it’s important that the throw you buy will complement their colour scheme. That’s why we’d highly recommend our Sweet Dreams XL throw which has a grey and a white side! This not only offers two different options, but both colours are neutral – so they’re sure to complement any room in their home! The XL size also means that they can share it with a loved one (ideal for families), or they can snuggle up with it on super cold nights.

The Student

For students, it’s all about practicality. There’s nothing worse for a student than having to spend a fortune on heating bills – especially just after Christmas! An electric blanket will make sure that they’re warm and comfortable on a night and that they won’t have to worry about having their heating on in those cold student halls. This will give them peace of mind that they won’t be spending large amounts on their next heating bill, as most of our blankets cost just 2p a night to run! 

With students often having little money to treat themselves, why not treat them this Christmas to a luxurious blanket? Our Sweet Dreams Fully Fitted electric blanket is both practical and easy to use, as well as being extremely comfortable and cosy. With 6 heat settings and 9 timer settings, the student in your life can have full control over their blanket – perfect for when they’re studying on a cold night!

The Home Bird

We all know someone who loves to stay in and get cosy – especially during this time of year! So, what better way for them to get cosy and relax than with a heated blanket? They’ll be able to sink into a warm bed as they watch their favourite tv shows, films or even read their favourite book.

For ultimate cosiness, we highly recommend gifting them a fleece-lined blanket. This Dreamland Intelliheat is available in single and double sizes and is luxuriously soft. It also has the choice between 6 heat settings and extra foot warmth – perfect for those who love to cosy up on a cold night!

Everyone Else!

If the person you’re struggling to buy for doesn’t fall under one of the above categories, there’s no need to worry. An electric blanket is a perfect gift to give to anyone! Explore our wide range of electric blankets now, and you’ll be sure to find the perfect one to give to a loved one this Christmas.
