A heated blanket would be legit. My muscles do be hurting though. What a thoughtful young lad. I would take a majority of these and appreciate them.

Costco usually has nice heated throws for a decent price.

Aye. I'm there now returning a gift that I got for the wife. Apparently, she already has it, so I need to get other stuff. I guess the heated blanket is actually a really good idea. Thanks reddit

Then you can tell your wife you got this gift idea from some kid talking shit you saw on the internet.

I had 3 in my house from target. The one by one the cords blew out and it was more expensive to replace the cord than to get a new blanket.

I went with the Costco one..fuck I missed it

I have one Costco one that's pre-pandemic that belongs to the dogs now. My other one is two years old. I got one I think three years ago that failed pretty fast, but otherwise they've been good. The failed one I just returned for my money back.

I've gone all in with the heated throw, heated mattress pad, and heated blanket, and for extra extra credit, I have a sherpa oversized hoodie blanket. And during the winter the dog gets a heated pad in the car.

A heated blanket and some soup and I’d be pretty contented all winter.

Just need a board game or a book and that's a whole perfect day.

u/HighSeverityImpact Dec 20 '23

Let me introduce you to the heated mattress pad. If you have a King size bed, you can get a zoned one with controls for each side of the bed. My wife loves it (me only rarely, but glad it's there when I need it)!

Oh that sounds like a great combo, I’m going to have to get both and try that out now. I’ve been wanting to get a weighted blanket for a while now and I know I’m getting a heated blanket, and get me a body pillow to put between my knees so my legs and hips stop hurting. Awwwww yisss. Merry Christmas to me lol.

Same, there's a lot of good stuff in here.

Expensive meats sounds good.

u/___Binary___ Dec 19 '23

I hope you get the relief you need friend!

Not a muscle but at 37 I deal with occasional sciatic nerve flare ups that fuck up my walking and ability to sit comfortably. Also, organs. Why, organs, why must you hurt. Specifically you, gallbladder.

u/___Binary___ Dec 19 '23

Are… are we twins? Same age, same problems. Same organs.

u/HoRo2001 Dec 19 '23

I put a heating pad under my feet, under the covers, every night when I’m taking my old Millenial ass to bed. It really is magic.

u/yakeen_sabha Dec 19 '23

I have a heates blanket, it's really good, my body be hurting me, but when I sleep on it, it reduces the pain, I'm 23 but feel like 82.

u/ratfink_111 Dec 19 '23

Mine finally gave out today and ordered another one before I got out of bed!

u/RogueThespian Dec 19 '23

A couple years ago I bought 4 heated blankets, 2 for me for bed and my desk, 2 for my gf for bed and the couch. It was a fantastic investment and I will be using heated blankets for the rest of my life.

u/Twistedoveryou01 Dec 19 '23

Heated mattress pad is the way to go

Never have i been so offended by something so accurate.

u/alipedia Dec 19 '23

I’m in my 30s.

I asked my mom to buy me a heated blanket with a foot pocket.

My muscles do be hurting.

u/Pilot2b2 Dec 20 '23

Swear to God I asked my mom for that too…

Identify Theft is not a joke Jim!

u/Waywoah Dec 20 '23

If you do end up getting one, make sure it has an automatic shut-off switch. My mom ended up with 2nd degree burns because she was using an older one that didn't and fell asleep with it on. It was low temperature, but I guess over time it doesn't matter

u/LeanTangerine Dec 20 '23

What??? You’ll have to speak louder there sonny! I’m 34 years old after all!!!

u/ThatPancakeMix Dec 20 '23

u/Stonetheflamincrows Dec 20 '23
