BestReviews Illustrations

It's really time they warmed up

If you've found your way here, you probably have a friend, family member or partner who's always cold. You'll find them curled up under a pile of blankets from October until April, and whenever you see them out of the house, they're complaining about cold extremities. 

But you love them for it, so you're looking for the best gifts for people who are always cold. From beanies and scarves to slippers and wearable blankets, there's something to warm up even the most perpetually chilly person you know.

Best slipper gifts 

 

When it comes to warming up cold toes, these slippers go above and beyond. You can put them in the microwave and they come out toasty. It's like slipping your feet into a warm bath, except drier. If the person you're buying for always has cold feet, this is a great gift. They might even stop putting their cold feet on you to warm them up.

These luxe-looking slippers have indoor/outdoor soles, cushioned insoles, and are covered in a beautiful faux shearling material. 

Best loungewear gifts

This is a wearable blanket in the form of a huge hoodie. It's made from sherpa-lined fleece material and has some great features, such as thumb holes in the ends of the sleeves and big zippered pockets. It even has a built-in eye mask to help wearers catch some extra Z's.

While they look like regular joggers from the outside, these have a cozy secret — they're lined with sherpa fleece for extra warmth. They're nice for lounging around the house, but they're also stylish streetwear for those with a sporty look.

You get matching tops and bottoms in this thermal underwear set. While many base layers are thin, these have a fleece lining, so they're perfect for anyone who complains of the cold more than most. They can be worn under regular clothes for some much-needed extra insulation. They even come in a Christmas print, if you want to buy a festive gift.

This thermal underwear is made of stretchable fabric lined with fleecend is a extra-soft against the skin. It provides an extra layer of warmth to protect against frigid temps and keeps you dry no matter the activity level. 

Anyone who gets cold can tell you that a good pair of socks is a must. This set of five merino wool socks is not only soft and fuzzy, but they're perfect for when you'll be outside for some time.  

Best jacket gifts

The cold person in your life won't be able to complain about being chilly once they own this puffer jacket. It's extremely well-insulated and has a water-resistant exterior, so rain won't keep them home. Everest is an editors' favorite brand for being women-owned and having inclusive sizing.

With three heating panels — two in the front and one on the back — this jacket will keep the wearer warm even on the coldest of days. It's USB-rechargeable and can run for up to 10 hours on low or three hours on high. It's water-resistant and machine-washable.

And if you can't decide on the hue, you can buy a pack with two beanies of different colors.

The Victoria scarf is made from an ultrasoft viscose and polyester blend that feels like much more expensive cashmere to offer loved ones cozy comfort throughout every season. It's equally fashionable, functional, and provides ample coverage and multiple styling options.

Made from a soft acrylic yarn, this scarf keeps the wearer warm and feels good against the skin. It has an infinity design, which means it's a closed loop that can be wrapped around the neck in a range of ways. Some people prefer this to dealing with loose scarf ends.

Sometimes a hat, scarf, gloves and thick coat aren't enough — that's when it's time to call on earmuffs. These are made from a soft faux fur with thick padding. The band fits comfortably, and they fold so they take up less space when not in use.

These suede sheepskin-lined boots are a practical choice for cold weather. They're comfortable to wear and incredibly warm. They come in 15 colors, including gray, navy and emerald green.

The boxy fit of this sweatshirt means you can wear it just about anywhere: at home, at the gym, out to dinner or even running errands. Made from 95% cotton and 5% spandex, it's machine-washable, but you'll need to lay it flat to dry.

At 10-foot-by-10-foot, this is a blanket made to share. It stretches across a whole couch with room to spare, so it's great for cozy winter gatherings with friends or family.

This compact weighted blanket is just the right size for someone to throw over their lap or their shoulders. It's a great choice for someone who complains of being cold while they work. Plus, since it's weighted, it comes with added relaxation properties.

Your heating pad just got a glow-up. This electric heated mattress pad is not only washable, it has 12 settings, 12-hour auto shut-off capabilities, a controller for each side of the bed, and the controllers have an upgraded memory feature so you'll get the right heat setting every time.

Best heated back massager and foot massager gifts

While this back massager is more focused on its massage capabilities, it also warms up. It only heats to a low temperature to keep skin from being burned, but it's enough to satisfy people always complaining of being chilly.

Users stick their feet inside this machine and it not only massages their feet but also warms them up — delightful. The heating, kneading and air compression settings are controlled independently, letting people tailor their foot massage just how they like it.

This isn't your grandmother's heating pad. Nope, this one is washable, made with super-soft fabric, and has six heat settings and an auto shut-off feature. You can also use it dry or mist it with water for customized relief. 

Once you've chosen your preferred heat setting on this foot warmer it'll stay at that temperature consistently. Made of super-soft flannel, there's an auto shut-off feature that'll keep you protected from burns, and it's big enough to share with friends or a partner.
