The cutest way to keep cosy during colder weather
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.As the days get colder and heating bills continue to rise, many of us are looking for new and affordable ways to keep cosy this winter.
From electric blankets to heated clothes airers, retailers have come out with innovative ways for us, and our homes, to warm up this season. But one of the best winter warmers we’ve found so far is the blanket hoodie.
First launched by Australian brand Oodie, the blanket hoodie – which is exactly as it sounds – has surged in popularity and now retailer Dunelm has introduced its own range starting at just £8.
From Harry Potter and Christmas reindeers to animal print and avocados, there is a blanket for everyone (including furry friends) in the new range.
Below you will find our curated list of Dunelm’s best, new blanket hoodies.
