Advertorial:
At the moment, with the weather being hot and
sticky, it’s essential that you try and prevent overheating – especially when
it comes to your children and babies. However, as the seasons change, cooler
nights will be upon us, and it will soon be time for us to pull out all of the
nice, snug and warm clothing that will help to keep us all toasty afterdark.
Check out these ten essential items that will ensure everyone in your family
can warm up, and stay warm, on cool nights, without having to spend a fortune
on heating bills!
Slippers
Slippers are a must-have for all family
members, and with grownup’s, girl’s and boy’s
slippers at George being as affordable as they are fun, you won’t have to
break the bank to kit your kids, and you, out in a pair that will last.
Dressing
Gowns
It doesn’t matter how old, or young, you are,
dressing gowns are a perfect way to warm up on cool evenings. They’re also
fabulous for the mornings as well, and are available in some amazing prints and
styles, including this gorgeous pink
spot print one for £8.
Electric
Blanket
Bear in mind the effect on your electricity
bill before you turn on the electric blanket. However, it’s a lovely appliance
that can really warm you up when nothing else will do.
Hot
Water Bottle
The cheaper alternative to an electric
blanket, a hot water bottle is a great addition to any chilly bed or sofa. A
quick boil of the kettle and you’re away!
Baby
Sleeping Bag
You can buy sleeping bags for babies in
various different sizes and togs, depending on the age of the baby and the
warmth of the room. For summer, a 1 tog bag will suffice, but as it gets
cooler, you may wish to trade this in for a warmer tog alternative. Either
that, or layer them – but
not too much!
Onesie
Onesies are a great way to look fun and
funky, at the same time as being warm and cosy. Available for all of the
family, in various colours and prints, there’s bound to be one that you love.
Slipper
Socks
If you’re not one for a pair of slippers,
slipper socks are the next best thing!
Thermals
We’re certainly not at the stage where we
need to dig out the thermals just yet, but it won’t be long until the winter
months are upon us. Thermals are a great way to keep toasty during the winter –
they’re also a great item to take with you if you’re heading to a muddy field
for a festival at any point over the next couple of months.
Heart-warming
Food
It’s known that when it’s a little cool
outside, heart-warming food is the way to go. Rather than summer salads and
pulling out the barbecue, dust off the slow cooker and make some scrumptious
stews, soups and casseroles. There are plenty of slow cooker recipes online for
you to have a go at.
A
Nice Cup of Hot Chocolate
How can you say no to a lovely, milky cup of
hot chocolate during the cooler evenings? Not only is it yummy, but warm, milky
drinks help to warm you up too. Go all out with some marshmallows and whipped
cream!
