These Are the Flannel Sheets I’m Giving to Everyone on My List This Year (They’re So Soft!)
No matter the weather outside, there’s one feeling that we can get behind all year long: coziness. Whether that means curling up under a weighted blanket on the couch, lounging on the patio with a glass of wine, or relaxing in a steamy aromatherapy shower, feeling safe and pampered is one or life’s greatest joys — not just for you, but also for your nearest and dearest.
On that note, here are some of the best cozy gifts to help your friends and family feel all warm and, well, cozy. From the flannel sheets that multiple editors love, to the latte powder that Oprah herself swears by, to hurricane lanterns that double as mood lighting, there’s something for everyone in your life.
Put simply: Cozy, comforting presents are the way to go. And while you’re at it, you might as well snag some for yourself, too.
