The cost-of-living crisis has made energy-efficient products hot commodities – with everything from air fryers and heated airers to electric blankets and dehumidifiers rising to coveted status as the weather cools.
In light of rising energy bills, wearable ways to stay warm are top of the agenda for the second year running – think heated gilets, heated jackets, warm gloves and reusable hand warmers. The cost of these can seem like a big expense, but one company that specialises in thick blanket hoodies is having a flash sale, followed by an early Black Friday promotion, with the chance to bag a cosy hoodie for just £1.
At 7pm today (7 November), 1,500 hoodies will be up for grabs for just £1 each on the Oodie website. It’s worth bookmarking the page now or signing up to an alert on the Oodie website, which will let you know when there’s five minutes to go, so you can be among the first in the queue.
Even if you’re not quick off the mark, there are several plain and printed blanket hoodies available for £39 between now and Black Friday, which is a £50 saving on the usual price.
Here are the designs to make a beeline for, including options for kids.
The Oodie, black: Was £89, now £1, Theoodie.co.uk
The brand’s hoodies rated highly in our round-up of the best blanket hoodies, where we found the oversized hoodie to be “very oversized, cocooning our 6ft tester down to the knees.” Complete with a hood, sleeves and practical front pouch, the hoodie is finished in a plush soft-to-touch flannel fleece with sherpa fleece lining the inside.
“Large enough to curl beneath it on the sofa but still sufficiently fitted and lightweight to move around the house while working from home, the Oodie will be a saviour when temperatures plummet,” said our tester. Our only gripe was its not so pocket-friendly price, but you can’t argue with the £1 deal, launching at 7pm tonight.
Breakfast buddies Oodie: Was £89, now £39, Theoodie.co.uk
This fun Oodie design depicts breakfast items such as coffee, waffles and milk. Cosy up with your morning cuppa or sport this snuggly sherpa layer throughout the day. We’re certain the multi-coloured pattern would make getting out of bed in the dark more fun, too.
Oodie grey weighted blanket bundle: Was £188, now £133, Theoodie.co.uk
From soothing anxiety to helping you get a more restful night’s sleep, the benefits of weighted blankets are well-documented. Now, you can save more than £50 on a bundle that includes Oodie’s own weighted blanket and its coveted blanket hoodie. The vegan and cruelty-free soft flannel fleece blanket has a sherpa fleece interior, and you can choose between three weights (the brand recommends to aim for around 10 per cent of your own weight) and more than 20 colours and patterns of the wearable blanket hoodie.
Oodie twin pack: Was £178, now £89, Theoodie.co.uk
Whether you’re shopping for friends or your partner, you can save £89 right now on a twin pack of Oodie blanket hoodies. Choose between having two matching hoodies or different prints and finishes, with both one-size-fits-all blankets finished in a soft flannel fleece and warming sherpa lining. Keep them both for yourself or share the love and split this deal with a pal.
Oodie ultra snug: Was £135, now £110, Theoodie.co.uk
Taking you from the bed to the sofa, Oodie’s two-in-one design transforms from a blanket hoodie to a full-size flat blanket with just the snap of a button. Made from the same sherpa-blend fleece as the brand’s OG blanket hoodies, the versatile winter essential is also machine-washable.
Oodie kids oodie, black: Was £77, now £37, Theoodie.co.uk
This winter, kit out the entire family, with Oodie’s kids’ range of blanket hoodies. The one-size blanket is designed for children aged three to 13 years old, and features the same toasty-warm sherpa fleece inside and flannel fleece exterior, to keep young ones warm during the colder months. From a kids’ twin pack (was £154, now £94, Theoodie.co.uk) to a pizza-themed design (was £77, now £37, Theoodie.co.uk) there’s a wealth of choice in the Oodie sale.
Oodie outdoor, charcoal and green zip through: Was £135, now £110, Theoodie.co.uk
A new addition to the line-up, Oodie’s outdoor blanket hoodie has you covered for everything from camping trips to rainy dog walks. Available in two sizes, the wearable blanket is finished with a durable and water-resistant outer layer for the unpredictable British autumn, while a sherpa fleece lining provides extra warmth. Thanks to the reversible design, you can adapt the jacket to the weather.
