Oodie’s blanket hoodies are half price for Black Friday
Blanket hoodies are one of winter’s hottest buys – and one brand in particular dominates the market: Oodie.

“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,” I said in my review of the cult Oodie. My only gripe was its not-so-pocket-friendly price, making this 50 per cent saving especially appealing.

The Apple Black Friday deals to snap up
