Electric Blanket - Heated Mattress Pad:

Electric blankets are a great way to save money in the winter time. Why heat your entire house when you really only need a warm bed at night time. Warming blankets help you stay comfortably warm all night and the best electric blankets cost pennies to run. The Sunbeam and Chattam & Wells electric blankets are the most popular brands. Electricblanket.net has the Chattam & Wells Heated Electric Blanket ($124.95/queen) with low voltage, 100% micro-fleece polyester, lightest heated blanket, is warm in less than 15 minutes, maintains original size after being washed. They also carry the Chattam & Wells Heated Mattress Pad for $109.95/queen - heat comes from below instead of above with conventional electric blankets, small heating wires, less than 15 minutes to warm up, and non-hazardous low voltage. Target stores have a complete line of electric blankets, the top sellers being the Cozy Max Automatic Blanket ($49.99-$109.99), the Beautyrest Automatic Blanket ($79.99-$139.99), the Sunbeam Slumber Rest Warming Blanket ($89.99-$124.99), and the Ivory Spring Air Ultimate Heated Blanket ($99.99-$154.99). I recently went into JC Penneys and found a nice selection of electric blankets - the Sealy Electric Blanket ($53.99), the Controlled-Comfort Electric Blanket ($39.99), the Martex SuperSoft Electric Blanket ($79.99).

Beach Blanket:

Beach blankets are different than beach towels (many of our readers thought they were the same thing). A beach blanket is something you put down on the sand and lay your beach towels, coolers, and beach gear on to keep them sand free (hopefully). Landsend.com has a few beach blankets to choose from - the Quad Stripe Beach Blanket ($34.99) is 73" Wide x 78" long and is made of 100% cotton with soft, absorbent terry loops for comfortable seating. Comes with a built in pouch for easy carrying. The Bright Stripe Beach Blanket ($45) is 78" x 73" and was rated "best overall" beach blanket by the Wall Street Journal. The Tropical Winds beach blanket is from Hawaii (they know beaches) and is machine washable and dryer friendly at 60" wide x 6' long. They have some great original designs and sell for $65 at Thetropicalwinds.com.

Fleece Blanket - Throw Blanket:

LLbean.com has a great online website and their collection of fleece blankets and throw blankets is second to none. The Thermal Zone Fleece Blanket ($99/queen) is a hot seller with innovative cold feet warmer area. The Washable Wool Blanket, Bordered Stripes ($99/queen) - warmth of wool with machine washing convenience. Other popular fleece blankets are the Cloud Lite Fleece Blanket ($49), the Wicked Good Fleece Throw ($29.50), Goose Down Blanket ($99), and the Petal Soft Fleece Throw ($35). At Cuddledown.com we saw a Natural Cotton Fleece Blanket ($49.50-$139) that caught our eye, made in Germany, thick and soft. Garnethill.com offers a great kids cotton fleece blanket and throw with monogramming available.
