It was mentioned in Ireland on RTE today - and it’s a great idea for keeping warm and spending less on fuel bills.  The Slanket is a blanket - but with sleeves for your arms so you can use your hands to drink that beer or mug of tea or use the TV remote control or do some internet shopping. Better than a blanket - because your arms stay warm!

They are made by a US company - and they will deliver to Ireland and the UK - but shipping is about $35 dollars - which brings the total price to about $80 or about £53 GBP. Irish and UK slackers can get their Slanket online from Firebox for less than that.  Get a £5 discount at Firebox by registering here - just give your email address and they send you the discount code to use before Christmas.
Demand for the Slankets is high and stocks are low everywhere - but you can pre order now.
The Slanket is available to buy in Ireland and the UK at PrezziesPlus - where they cost £34.95 and delivery charges start at £10.95 to Ireland and £3.95 in the UK.

Slankets come in various colours - and once you get one you might find it hard to leave your sofa again.  The perfect Eco- Friendly affordable gift for everyone.

Ecover is probably the best known brand of eco-friendly , environmentally friendly household cleaning products. The Ecover.ie site is not functioning - so don’t even bother trying that.
Launched in 1980  Ecover is the world’s largest producer of ecological detergents and eco-friendly cleaning and laundry products. It’s  environmental policies place it at the forefront of developing environmentally friendly washing up liquids, household cleaners, laundry and personal care products.  If you share Ecover’s commitment to the planet and care for the environment, then this range is the right choice for you.

If you live in Ireland you can buy Ecover cleaning products in bulk and save money at the Ethical Superstore. For example - Ecover dishwasher tablets £4.29 for a box of 25 at Ethical Superstore. If you buy 6 boxes the price is   £24.45  or just under £4.08 per box of 25.
Delivery comes in at £8.50 for orders up to 30kg - so you may as well stock up on Ecover floor cleaner, Ecover Rinse Aid, Ecover toilet cleaner and lots more from the Ecover range. Don’t be put off when it says “UK Delivery Only” - I have been informed that delivery to Ireland is fine on all Ecover products except the 25 litre bottles.

For UK and Northern Ireland customers if youe spend more than £40  delivery is free at Ethical Superstore

A small range or Ecover stuff is available at Tesco Ireland -  for Laundry and Dishwashing .
