48 Warm and Cozy Gifts

These fan-favorite knit shorts from Skims do not stay in stock. For the person on your list who would freak out over owning a pair, today is you’re lucky day as they’re currently still available in most hues on Nordstrom.

Proof that wearing pajamas all day can be cute, no matter what my temporary roommates (parents) say. If you’re shopping for someone who gets hot in their sleep, these are made with modal, which is super breathable. 

This candle from Instagram-loved brand Lex Pott doubles as a work of art. A personal go-to gift choice of mine, I can attest to how the sculptural candle is more than just coffee table eye candy—it burns very evenly.

Half-zips are having a long overdue renaissance these days. Here, a a divinely fuzzy-feeling option. Bonus points if you gift this with the matching sweats too, which can be found on Shopbop.

For the fashun lover, gift a sweatshirt that pairs just as well with sweats as it does with leather pants. Fiorucci’s vintage angel motifs make a particularly special gift for sisters.

Grace Eleyae’s caps are beloved for their satin-lining, which helps keep hair soft to the touch. Oprah herself is even a fan, with the brand’s chunky knit hat (another style that makes for an epic cozy gift idea) also earning a spot on the legend’s list of Favorite Things this year.

Few articles of clothing, if any, are as glamorous and useful as a bathrobe. For those with caviar taste on a shoestring budget, I recommend N Natori’s Nirvana robe, which looks fancy and feels cloud-like. Four other colors are available as well. 

No such thing as too many pairs of black leggings. This pair from Alo Yoga stands out for being chic and comfy in equal measure. Also, literally every celebrity owns these. (Think: Taylor Swift, Hailey Bieber, the sisters Hadid…and the list goes on.)

Having a leisurely project to work on when there’s down time during the holidays is always a good idea. If there’s a seltzer stan on your list, consider holiday shopping done and dusted with this beginner-level cross-stitch kit.

Whether you’re shopping for a Glossier stan or a loved one who’s somehow made it this long without trying the brand, this set includes three of the brand’s all-time best-sellers (one balm dotcom, one priming moisturizer, and one milky jelly cleanser). Self care and coziness go hand in hand, which makes this a failsafe choice.

Editor’s note: British brand The Nue Co.’s Functional Fragrance might just be the most universally useful beauty gift out there. The woodsy unisex scent was designed to help people concentrate and recenter during stressful times. (And… considering current events… who couldn’t use this right now??) 

Founded by 25-year-old Asia Grant, Redoux NYC is a beauty brand with an ever-growing cult following. For a savvy self-care gift, look to the brand’s best-selling tumeric botanical bar. The detox cleansing bar works to refresh dull, tired skin and is made from all-natural ingredients. The spicy citrus scent also is divine, btw.

If painting their nails brings them a sense of calm, this duo of  creamy, opaque nail lacquers will spark joy. If you’re not familiar with Cirque Colors by the way, this is a brand any nail polish lover should have on their radar. The label blends all of their lacquers by hand right in Brooklyn and uses high-performing pigments.

If an oversized grey crewneck has been missing from your loved one’s WFH rotation these last few months…here’s your chance to fill that void for them, immediately.

Standing for “I Can Overcome, Nothing’s Impossible,” ICONI is a motivational activewear company founded earlier this year by Active duty member Angel Johnson. Earning the honor of being included in Oprah’s List of Favorite Things 2020, the brand’s seamless leggings work for yoga, running and Netflix surfing alike. 

The unofficial hairstyle of 2020 is undoubtedly the messy bun, making this bauble of silk hair ties a gift that’s thoughtful and useful in equal measure. Gentle on the hair, these silk hair ties help prevent damage and breakage.

This portable USB humidifier works to keep your skin continously hydrated and is well-suited for bed, working from home at your desk, or travel. 

There’s something inherently relaxing about eye masks. Treat her to a set of 5 that will brighten, smooth, and hydrate the under eye area for a fresher appearance.

For the dog lover on your list, commission a custom portrait of their beloved pup (which comes framed at this price!) for the fuzzy feels. 

Editor’s Note: I own this exact pair of texting gloves and can vouch for how handy (pardon the pun) they are in the winter.

Donni is the cool pullover brand to know these days, judging by how often it sells out at any retailer. (Sure, it’s a bit more of a splurge, but just look how soft it looks!) 

For the chic lounger on your shopping list (who you really, really love), these best-selling Alo Yoga joggers are made from a dreamily soft ribbed knit. As one reviewer put it: “They are flattering, lightweight, and just detailed enough to make you feel “dressed” while wearing sweats.”
