12v electric blanket

Maplin have just reduced the price of their 12v electric blanket/travel rug.
From £14.99 to £9.99 it comes with a good quality cigar lighter plug with LED. Draws 4 amps.
We bought one for New Years Eve at Southwold, plugged it in as we left, arrived 2hrs later with a very warm and aired bed! Bliss!
You could wrap it round your legs (as a passenger) whilst travelling, or warm the bed whilst travelling, if you have a large leisure battery it could be left on as an over-blanket all night!
The best winter tenner I've spent!

Hot water bottles £1.99/at boots, fill with hot water, put in bed, come home, bed warm and still enough power left in the battery for the heating and the fridge and the lights and the................. Mother knew best!:confused::confused:
 
I use Snugglesafe heat pads - although they're intended for pets, they're brilliant for humans too! They are heated in a microwave (12v Wavebox) and stay warm for up to 12 hours. You can even stuff them up a fleece for secret warmth on a chilly day - not that I'd admit to this, of course.
 
wife cost me seven shillings and sixpence 37 years ago kept me warm in bed all these years, now that was a bargain :eek: :D:D oops thats me down as a M.C.P. sorry ladies :D
 
Hi Mandrake,
send her to bed first, great minds think alike, better than any hot water bottle or electric blanket.

Happy Warm Camping:)
