It's time to boost your home's cozy level when the weather gets cooler. You start keeping the fireplace lit, turn up the thermostat to 75, and pull out the thick blankets. In my family, the dropping temperature means we pull our Costco heated blankets out of storage. We’ve been using them for years, and they’re honestly one of the best deals you can find.

We first purchased the Berkshire Life Heated Throw years ago, and after quickly realizing we’d play tug-of-war over one, we steadily added a few more to our collection. The blanket has faux fur on one side and a velvety underside, with different colorways and patterns to match autumn and winter decor.
All you have to do is plug it in the wall, and select one of four desired heat intensities. Cables run through the length of the fuzzy blanket, bringing a toasty feeling from head to toe. The power cord is extra long, so you’re not tied to the room’s outlet placement. Even better, the heat has a built-in shutoff after four hours. As someone who’s fallen asleep under these blankets several times, it’s a crucial feature to prevent overheating.
Every holiday season, when I go home to visit my family, it means movie nights snuggled under these blankets. It’s not uncommon in my household to have a lighthearted argument over who gets to use the "fancy" blanket. I loved using it so much that I got one of my own for my apartment. After a long day and a cold commute, it's the first thing I reach for when I get home.
I can’t recommend it enough, either as a family Christmas gift or as a treat for yourself. At $35, the price is unbeatable. But I love a challenge and I found some pretty affordable alternatives, just in case you can’t find the heated blanket at your local Costco. I rounded up a few more options you can order online so that you can have a heated blanket delivered right to your doorstep in just days.
