They're not available to buy just yet, but according to Aldi they're 'coming soon', so we recommend keeping an eye out on the website if you want to get your hands on one ahead of Christmas because this sounds like it's set to be one of Aldi's classic sell-out items.

The stylish and soft warming throws come in three neutral colours and are ideal for snuggling under on the sofa or in bed - especially if the bill payer of the house isn't keen on having the heating cranked up at all hours of the day!
They're just £34.99 each and have nine temperature controls and nine timer settings.
Annoyingly, they're already sold out online but are available in stores as well, so make sure you browse the middle aisle when you're doing your next Aldi shop.
