Sometimes, gift shopping seems impossible, but there's one way you can never go wrong: buying something cozy that will help your loved ones relax. Especially in the winter months, it's tempting to curl up with a book or a movie and live in a state of relaxation and warmth. Here's a selection of gift items sure to keep your favorite people cozy, and almost guarantee your choice won't need a gift receipt.
The Comfy
As seen on Shark Tank, this product doubles as a sweatshirt and a blanket. All you have to do is tuck your legs up into the sweatshirt and it doubles as a full-body cover. This product is great for any age group, and will serve as the perfect item to keep you, or your friends, comfortable year round. You can grab one on The Comfy's website for $39.99, or pick one up at a local Bed Bath and Beyond.
Fazl Socks
There comes a time in every adult's life where they realize they're no longer dreading receiving socks as a Christmas gift, but actually welcoming it. There's something special about the right, cozy pair, and Fazl has perfected the formula. Not only will you provide comfort to your loved ones with a pair, but you'll help Fazl support impoverished children in India. The company brings wellbeing, food, shelter and education to women and children in poverty-filled areas, and you can give back while giving something cozy. Pick out any pair for $18.
