Heat the Human

Winter is coming, and even with energy prices falling by 7%, bills are still likely to be more expensive than last winter. Many will need to drastically cut energy usage. In this guide, MoneySavers have shared their tips to 'heat the human, not the home' – and we've researched the cheapest ways to do that.

Amazing little desk heater

Here is a recent discovery that has to be shared especially for those of us working from home!  Whilst we don't want to work in freezing conditions - there is no point in heating the whole home during the day if we don't need to.   Check out this little device which is not expensive at £39.99, extremely cheap to run, and according to the reviews absolutely brilliant...!   Currently in stock at John Lewis - beware of similar items on Amazon as many come from China and may not be as effective...

Hotties microwaveable back wrap

Amazing product - originally designed to sooth back pain, but they are also really effective in heating the whole body - especially when sitting in front of your laptop working from home.   Much cheaper than using a hot water bottle, and stays much hotter for much longer - definitely worth the modest investment...!

The Ideal Home guide to space heaters

As temperatures drop, the best electric heaters on the market can help you to beat the chill.

The best space heaters can supply almost instant heat, meaning that you don’t have to wait for the central heating to kick in or warm more areas of your home than are necessary. And, because they only heat specific areas of your home, energy efficient electric heaters can prove economical too. 

Big Hug heated chair cover

The big advantage of a heated chair cover/blanket is that when you leave the chair, you don't have to unplug yourself...!

Heated poncho

Some great Black Friday deals from Lakeland including this clever heated poncho...!

Our Heated Poncho is toasty warm, snuggly-soft and looks great too, so it’s just the thing if you want to keep warm all day in your home office and/or just don’t want another row about the central heating every evening (we’ve all been there…). And unlike heated blankets, which can be a bit of a struggle to keep in place round your shoulders, this one’s designed to sit there, with fasteners to hold it in place. It cleverly leaves your arms covered enough to keep them warm, but free enough to turn the pages of a book, or tap away at your laptop.
