Shoppers rave about unisex £12 buy that keeps you warm without heating – and it has three modes
SHOPPERS are raving about a unisex buy that has been slashed in price for the winter months.
The Unisex Heated Electric Winter Gilet comes in three heat modes and has been reduced to just £12 in an up to 74 per cent saving.
This item has three heat settings so the wearer can feel comfortable in whatever climate they are in, down to the degree.
It comes with a power button control on the chest to turn the gilet to a high 56°C, medium 46°C, and low 39°C.
This will allow whoever is wearing it to tailor their temperature so they don’t feel too hot or too cold.
The gilet has come down from £49.99, saving shoppers over £30 on this cosy winter essential.
It’s powered by a portable USB power bank.
Wearers can connect the coat to a power bank via a USB cable to keep warm on the go.
It’s available in a range of sizes so anyone can have one, going from a medium size with a 106cm chest 65cm length.
The largest size is a 3XL, with a 122cm chest and 73cm length.
Shoppers still looking for stocking stuffers can go to the Wowcher website to check out the deal for themselves.
A Facebook page called Extreme Couponing & Bargains UK Admin Team posted about the deal today and already people are wanting it as a Christmas gift.
One commenter tagged a friend and wrote: “you need this ! X”
Another shared their experience with the jacket, saying: “I’ve got one of these, they’re decent for the money.
“You will need a power bank with USB A plugged in whilst using it.”
MARTIN LEWIS’ HEAT HACKS
The Sun has reported on some ways to save on heating bills from the MoneySavingExpert Martin Lewis.
He suggested a handful of nifty gadgets that will stop you reaching for the heating.
One of these includes USB gloves, which if you were to use them for a normal 9-5 work day, then it would cost you less than 10p to use all day.
Amazon is currently selling them for £4.99 while Originals is selling ones you charge using a battery pack (which could cost less to run) for £39.99.
It’s worth considering which ones would be better for you to use by comparing how often you’ll use them.
Martin Lewis' career so far
Financial journalist and presenter Martin Lewis has had a career spanning three decades.
He’s a familiar face on television, appearing on various shows for ITV.
Let’s take a look at some of Martin’s most notable achievements so far.
- MoneySavingExpert.com: Martin founded this finance information website in February 2003. It is intended to provide information on ways for people to save money. Money Supermarket bought the site in September 2012, with Martin taking on a executive chairman role.
- The Martin Lewis Money Show: Debuting in September 2012, this current affairs show covers personal finance. It is presented by Martin and a co-host. Initially, this was Saira Khan but more recently, Angelica Bell has stepped into the role.
- This Morning: Martin has appeared on the daytime show since 2007. He serves as the programme’s Financial expert.
- Good Morning Britain: Similarly, Martin fulfils a role as Money Saving Expert on ITV’s Good Morning Britain. He first joined the programme in 2021.
He also suggested heated insoles if your feet get chilly easily.
Like with heated gloves, the majority of heated insoles come with a USB port rather than an option to charge them up first but MSE also said that they cost less than 1p to run per hour.
Wowcher is currently offering heated insoles for £7.99 while Shoe Insoles is selling them for £19.99.
Electric blankets were also advised, which will need to be plugged into a main socket but Martin writes that this can cost just 3p an hour to run.
He said you can find one for £18 at Wilko for a single one but prices do vary depending on size and quality.
