It looks like snow is heading our way, and we can already hear the footsteps of people rushing to their local Tesco to stock up on white bread and toilet rolls.
According to the latest reports, temperatures are set to fall between -2 and -4 degrees in many areas this weekend.
We're planning to hibernate for the foreseeable future and will avoid any unnecessary journeys, just as Teresa Manion would want.
However, we are rushing to make one essential purchase before the big freeze hits. If there's one thing that will make us feel extra cozy as the snow falls outside, it's an electric blanket.
And we've found the perfect one on sale at the moment.
This Bomova Electric Blanket is currently on sale and you can get 31% off here.
For just €35.79, you can get your hands on an electric blanket that's bound to keep you warm during one of the chilliest times of the year.
Shoppers have been raving about this blanket, with many saying it's the best purchase they made in winter.
One said, "I bought this BOMOVA electric heated blanket for winter, and it has quickly become one of my favorite home comforts. The flannel fleece material is incredibly soft and cozy, and it heats up fast with 10 adjustable temperature levels, so I can always find the perfect warmth."
Another added, "Takes a little while to heat up, but the consistent temperature is good and keeps me warm. Glad it has a timer, I'd be concerned about overheating if it were left on for too long. Used this on a very cold day and it really helped... Heat the person, not the house."
One added, "This heated blanket has quickly become a winter essential; the heating function works fast."
Buy here.
