I know a lot of you are still freezing your buns and signed up for the last heated blanket giveaway. Well, now you get another chance at winning, this time with a bigger blanket!Today's giveaway is a Sunbeam Luxurious Herringbone Heated Blanket (Full Size). This blanket includes a 10 hour auto-off back-lit digital control with multiple warming settings. It also features a preheat setting to warm up cold sheets before bedtime and a warming system that can sense and adjust to deliver consistent heat. You can machine wash and dry it as well and the color is dark blue. The list price on this product is $125.
Sunbeam claims that you can save up to 10% a year on your heating bill by turning on your heated blanket and setting your thermostat back 10% to 15% for 8 hours while you sleep. The benefit here is that you are heating locally rather than the whole house.
Caveats: this blanket is 70% polyester and 30% acrylic, so if you have issues with synthetic fibers, consider yourself warned, or, should I say, "warmed"? Also, some people have concerns with using electric blankets and EMF, but it is up to you to determine if the alleged risk is worth it. I suspect there's just as much a health risk burning oil heat in the house every night all winter, but that's up to you. There's also the pre-heat option if you don't want it going all night.
Okay, now that I've alerted you to the obvious, if you want to be entered in the giveaway, add your name to the comments of this post. This giveaway is open until Wednesday, November 26th, 6:00 pm PST. I'll be doing a random drawing and announcing a winner on Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 27th.
Good luck!

That would be an awesome addition to my bun-freezing temperatures! I'm at 60 now (it's supposed to get warmer today anyway, up to like 55 here... wish the weather would make up its mind), but I'd like to keep the temp lower at night.

Hope everyone has a great week. :)

ReplyDeleteCan I enter on Nadine's behalf?
ReplyDeleteMy down comforter keeps me plenty warm at night, even with the thermostat down to 55, so I don't need another blanket of any variety. But Nadine won't have computer access for the next several days, and I know she'd love it -- she signed up last time. Many thanks!
I need one of these!! Please enter me!

An electic blanket to pre-warm our bed would be fantastic (or to warm up the bed when my husband is out late playing volleyball on wednesdays! He's my personal furnace, and when he's gone in the winter the bed is COLD.) COunt me in!
ReplyDeleteenter me...my sheets are so cold!
ReplyDeleteJill S
It's cold in Michigan! Sign me up!
ReplyDeleteDeborah
id love this!! we are trying to keep it as cold as we can! this will really help.. count me in!! ~laura
ReplyDeleteMy kid is freezing her buns off. This will keep her warm and keep me from turning on the heat.
ReplyDeleteOK, put me in. I might actually get to join in with freezing my buns off if I win! I don't mind the cold, but another nameless member of my family can't deal with it, which leaves me out in the cold with this challenge. This certain family member likes heated blankets :-)
ReplyDeleteThrowing my name in for a warm Crunchy Blanket!
ReplyDeleteOh yea, even bigger... that means warmer 'cause now my feet won't stick out. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteOh yay! Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteMy husband refuses to alter the temp, but last night he sunk to a new low in protesting my settings... he slept in his winter coat. He could really use this blanket.
ReplyDeletePick me my toes are cold!
ReplyDeleteOh, excellent giveaway! We've been stocking up on cheap blankets, but this would be awesome to have!
ReplyDeletegreenyak [at] yahoo [dot] com
Please, please, me, me. We can't have our heat on at night because I get migraines if it is turned on while sleeping. Our room is the coldest one in the house and we can practically see our breath in there. We already have 2 comforters, a quilt and another blanket. I sleep in sweats, sweatshirt, sweater and 2 pairs of socks. I still freeze DH even with the 2 pairs of socks. Here's to keeping toes (if they are not frozen)and fingers crossed..............
ReplyDeletesounds wonderful! Now maybe I can actually sleep in my bed instead of on the sofa beside the woodstove!
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to have this since we haven't turned on our heat yet. I live in a place that still gets fairly warm during the day but it's cold when the sun disappears. My hubby and kids don't mind at all that we are trying to conserve energy because they like being cold. Me, I hate it!

ReplyDeleteI also just realized that I could give it to my stepfather who is always cold due to being on dialysis. He complains when my mother stays up late and doesn't come to bed to keep him warm.
Mmm! Sounds nice! Pick me! Pick me!
ReplyDeleteEven with flannel sheets, I still dread the initial shock of getting into a cold bed. A heated blanket sounds almost as good as a tropical vacation.
ReplyDeleteIt was funny to see this post as I have been sitting in front of this computer shivering for the past 45 minutes. It sure did get cold in a hurry.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have a blanket to warm us up here... Man my feet get cold now that I'm old(er)!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win. We keep our thermostat low, low at night!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered. We don't put our heat on and Boston is getting chilly! :)
ReplyDeleteSign me up! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a huge group of frigid women! lol. And only one can win!
ReplyDeleteI'm ex-frigid. On chilly nights, I make up 2 hot water bottles a half hour ahead of bed time, and put them under the comforter. Sure, there are still icy areas, but it all gets kind of exciting, climbing in.
pick me! japansara (at) hotmail [dotcom]
ReplyDeleteMe? Pick me? :) I'd love to preheat my bed with it before we crawl in!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I'd love to win it, but I'm sure my hubby would probably just hog it all for himself in his "sleep"...yeah, right. :)
ReplyDeletePosting my name!
ReplyDeleteHey, I hope I win! Do I have to pledge to grow my own vegetables in order to be eligible? ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteCount me in, the cold is getting worst and worst
ReplyDeleteYes please! That would be great!
ReplyDeletePlease enter my name in it as well. This blanket sounds oh so nice and it sure would come in handy on those c-c-c-old nights. Brrrrrr!

May I join in on the fun also? {waiting patiently...fingers crossed}
ReplyDeleteThis would be great. My room is freezing in the winter and I'd love some heat. I might not crawl out from under the blankets in the morning but it would sure get me to bed earlier at night. Knowing that there's a warm bed to climb into.
ReplyDeleteI'm game!
