There’s no denying it, winter is here. And one of the worst feelings once the cold weather hits is climbing into a freezing cold dorm bed. How can you get the all-important good night’s sleep your parents keep reminding you about it your teeth are chattering and you can’t feel your toes (amongst other things!)?

The new Therapedic Royal Mink Electric Blanket (starting at $99.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond) is warm and cozy before you even turn it on thanks to the Ultra-Soft Royal MinkTM fabric ~ and with 10 heat settings, a 10-hour auto-off and a pre-heat feature, you can preset the blanket to warm up your bed so it’s the perfect temperature for you right when you get in!

Oversized for greater coverage, the machine washable blanket comes in a variety of colors to suit any décor, and includes a 5 year warranty (so quick, put it on your holiday wish list before your folks send you a hot pink Forever Lazy…with matching socks!).
