The temperatures hover well below freezing, it gets dark before 4 p.m. and snow piles up week after week. The kicker? This starts in November and lasts usually until March or April, so it's six months of undesirable weather.\r\n\r\nNow, if you have a car with heated seats, leaving the house isn't so bad. You can bundle up, dash to the car and be warm and toasty in minutes. But not everyone has this luxury. It seems that for this very reason, this heated blanket<\/a> for car rides and quick errands is now extremely<\/em> popular.\r\n

Why People Love This Heated Blanket<\/h2>\r\nAmazon reviewers rave about this $25 blanket. For one husband, the blanket was a \"marriage saver.\" Mark<\/a> says, \"I bought this blanket for my wife and it has made a world of difference.\" <\/span>In his cold and snowy New Hampshire winters, there's no more fighting about the temperature controls!<\/span>\r\n\r\nThat's not the only husband-and-wife duo raving about this blanket, though. Wraithdude<\/a> says, \"My wife seems to have been born on the sun, which means that she's always cold when we drive just about anywhere.\" Not anymore! Now he can stay cool and his wife and can stay warm under her blanket.\r\n

If you have to scrape snow and ice off your car in the morning, Jessica<\/a> recommends that you plug this blanket in first, \"then once I\u2019m done cleaning my car off the blanket is nice and toasty!\" Genius.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\nThe blanket is cozy itself, even without being plugged in. But once it's warmed up, the heated blanket gives off enough heat to keep you comfortable for the duration of your trip. It also comes in a variety of colors and flannel patterns, so you can gift the perfect blanket (or keep it for yourself).\r\n\r\nThe blanket, which is made by the company Stalwart<\/a>, plugs into a 12-volt socket in your car. (If you have a USB outlet in your vehicle, you can purchase one of these converters<\/a> to use the blanket, too.) The cord itself is 96 inches long, so if your 12-volt outlet is in the back of your car, you should still be able to bundle up under the blanket in the front seat.\r\n\r\n
