Oodie reduces hooded blankets to £1 in sale starting tonight

People need to register ahead of time to access the £1 sale Oodie is set to kick off its annual £1 sale on Thursday evening, November 20, perfectly timed for Black Friday and the holiday shopping season. Last year, when the sale launched, a huge number of hooded blankets flew off the shelves within minutes, and a similar rush is anticipated tonight. A hooded blanket is often described as an excellent way to stay cosy and may even help you cut down on energy expenses. Financial experts, including Martin Lewis, suggest strategies like “heat the human, not the home,” and a quality hooded blanket can support this by trapping your body heat and providing insulation. By keeping you warm enough to reduce reliance on central heating or to set it at a lower temperature, you consume less energy, which in turn decreases your utility bills. Some users have even reported that they’ve completely stopped using their heating in certain situations. Which Oodie hooded blanket is going on sale for £1 tonight? One of the best-selling hooded blankets available on the Oodie website is the Grey Original Oodie, which will be offered for only £1 tonight. Typically, it retails for £65, but at this moment, it’s priced at just £32 due to a Black Friday promotion, and later, it will be available for just £1 for the first 1, 000 customers. This blanket is made with a ToastyTek Outer, a unique innovation by Oodie. It consists of a ‘cosy’ fleece crafted from an “ultra-fine” micro thread that feels “incredibly soft” to the touch. The interior of the Grey Original Oodie features a soft sherpa fleece lining. The pockets are designed to be extra large, making it easy for people to carry their phones, snacks, and other necessities. The hood is oversized, and the entire blanket is characterised as “spacious and comfortable”. You have the option to choose between two sizes: ‘small/medium’ or ‘one size fits most’. What do shoppers say about the hooded blanket? On the Oodie website, the hooded blanket has an average rating of 4. 9 out of 5 stars from customers, with 99% of them recommending it. One person said: “I love it! It’s perfect for winter and such good quality!” A second put: “Great to wear on a cold morning straight from bed or a shower. Even outside cold weather can’t beat it but I tend to look like a very warm Abominable Snowman.” A third wrote: “They are comfy, and like an all encompassing hug in the cooler weather.” However, one shopper claimed: “Unhappy as stitching around pocket area came undone only after 3 days, my husband wearing it.” Oodie was founded in 2018 by Davie Fogarty because he wanted to “change the way we think about comfort”. These “super soft” and “cosy” wearable blankets have become a favourite for many people in the UK when fall and winter come around, mainly because of their big hoods and pockets.

Trump Is Bullying Air Traffic Controllers to Get Back to Work While They’re Still Going Unpaid

Air traffic controllers aren’t being paid right now, forcing many to call out sick as they scramble to scrape together enough money from second jobs to feed their families. But President Donald Trump is not happy about it, given all the delays that are happening at the nation’s airports. The president seems convinced he can just bully his way into getting air traffic controllers to keep working for no pay.

“All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn’t will be substantially ‘docked,’” Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday morning.

Trump went on to claim that air traffic controllers who were “GREAT PATRIOTS” and “didn’t take ANY TIME OFF” will potentially be getting a bonus of $10,000. To be more precise, Trump said he would be “recommending” a bonus, which doesn’t guarantee that anyone will actually receive it.

He referred to the government shutdown, which is currently on its 41st day, as the “Democrat Shutdown Hoax.”

The U.S. Senate made some movement on Sunday toward ending the shutdown, with eight Democrats voting in an early procedural step to push forward a final vote. However, ending the shutdown still faces several hurdles, including passage in the House. Democrats received no real concessions despite originally claiming they wanted Republicans to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

Trump stressed his disappointment in the air traffic controllers who had not been showing up for work. They were supposed to be paid last Tuesday but instead received notices that they would be paid $0, forcing many to work jobs like driving for Uber and DoorDash.

“For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK that was only meant to hurt our Country. You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record,” Trump continued.

He also said that if air traffic controllers wanted to “leave service in the near future,” they shouldn’t hesitate to do so, but they would be getting no payment or severance.

Trump’s use of the phrase “near future” is noteworthy because he seems aware that telling people to quit immediately is the opposite of what he wants. Essentially, the president is telling those he views as disloyal to come back temporarily and then quit when it’s convenient for him.

This is troubling given the current shortage of somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 air traffic controllers, according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. Losing more personnel would be devastating to the goal of getting more trained and hired, even if the government shutdown ends soon.

More than 2,600 flights were canceled Sunday, and at least 1,400 flights were canceled already on Monday — roughly 5.5% of all flights nationwide, according to USA Today. That’s more than the 4% threshold ordered by the FAA as the agency phases in more cancellations, which are expected to reach 10% this week. Not all the cancellations are due to FAA-mandated slowdowns; some winter weather in the Chicago area also disrupted flights.

Duffy appeared on CNN on Sunday to emphasize the real dangers caused by being short-staffed, including incidents described as “loss of separation in the airspace,” meaning that planes are flying too close together.

The president also claimed on Monday that his administration was acquiring new equipment for air traffic controllers, describing it as “in process.”

“You will be quickly replaced by true Patriots, who will do a better job on the Brand New State of the Art Equipment, the best in the World, that we are in the process of ordering. The last ‘Administration’ wasted Billions of Dollars trying to fix antiquated ‘junk.’ They had no idea what they were doing!” Trump wrote.

He concluded with a message to those still working and those not reporting:

“Again, to our great American Patriots, GOD BLESS YOU I won’t be able to send your money fast enough! To all others, REPORT TO WORK IMMEDIATELY. GOD BLESS AMERICA! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP.”

It remains to be seen how Trump’s coercive approach will be received by air traffic controllers, who are already exhausted from trying to support their families, taking on second jobs, and doing their best during incredibly difficult times.

“I’m broken down. I’m sore. I’m mentally drained,” one controller based in the southeast U.S. told the New York Times. The controller said they had been using all their free time hanging Christmas lights to earn extra money.

“There’s some times where I felt like just going into the corner and crying because it’s been pretty tough to push through the physical pain, the tiredness and waking up the next day having to do it all over again,” the controller said.

You Can Buy My Absolute Favorite Lacoste Polo at 50% Off Right Now

I’ve never hidden my love for a Lacoste polo. In fact, I mention it every time polos come up on this website. When it comes to recommending these shirts, I’m not exactly an objective party.

However, if you want to know about the price of a Lacoste polo, I’m your go-to person. Right now, you can score one at the best price you’ll see all year.

At retail, these polos typically run around $110. While that might seem steep compared to what they once cost, it’s actually in line with the current market rate and quite reasonable considering what other designer labels charge.

Despite business expansions and cost-cutting measures, the L.12.12 piqué Lacoste polo remains as high-quality as anything else on the market. The fit is immaculate, the piqué fabric breathes well enough for sports, and it can withstand a lifetime of washing and drying.

If you’re looking for a stylish, durable polo that holds its value, the Lacoste L.12.12 is hard to beat.
