Jul 21, 2025

As winter has firmly settled in, are you sure you are geared up for the cold? Here are five winter essentials you shouldn’t go without.

1. A Mink Blanket or Mink Throw

What makes a mink blanket so luxurious is that they are typically made from acrylic with a small percentage of polyester, giving you that cashmere-like feel without the hefty price tag. Our collection of blankets and throws at Living Emporium is perfect for those who want extra warmth on particularly chilly nights, featuring stunning patterns and colours to complement any bedroom or living space.

For winter warmth, Sherpa blankets are game-changers! Made from 100% synthetic material designed to mimic wool from sheep, they provide exceptional warmth without being bulky or heavy. They’re perfect for kids, expectant mothers, the elderly, or anyone who wants to stay toasty without feeling weighed down.

3. A Comforter Set

Enhance your bedroom winter look with a quality comforter set, an all-in-one bedding solution that instantly upgrades your space while providing the perfect level of warmth. Our range includes options for every style preference, from classic neutrals to bold patterns that make a statement.

For those extra cold nights, an electric blanket is your best friend. With adjustable heat settings, you can customise your warmth level exactly how you like it. Modern electric blankets are energy-efficient and come with safety features like auto shut-off timers.
