The best warm and cozy gifts for 2022

Truly “inactive wear,” the oversize Homecoat blends the best parts of a robe with all parts of a comforter. It’s made of velvety soft French terry, lined with cotton jersey, and filled with recycled-polyester quilting. Available in eight color combos and gender-neutral sizing. While it may be mistaken for avant-garde streetwear, the Homecoat is not recommended for outside wear, so we suspect your recipient won’t be seen leaving the house till spring.

Eberjey’s perennially dreamy sleepwear gets a luxe upgrade with this two-piece pajama set made of machine-washable silk, bluesign-certified (meaning the material is made with the least impact to the environment), that’s also biodegradable, hypoallergenic, and thermoregulating. Available in six solid and seven printed colors. With its button-down, notch-collar top, these PJs are Zoom-meeting approved (at least by us).

The oversized sweater is a classic, easy way to stay warm and comfortable at the same time. The SuperFuzz sweater’s blend of alpaca, merino wool and nylon (most of which is recycled), offers a soft, warm escape in a range of colors from muted solids to the more playful turmeric stripe.

A snuggly signature item that adds a graphic pop of color to any bed or sofa, these custom throws are machine washable and available in three sizes: from stroller to 72-inch blanket, big enough for your recipient and a friend.

Smartwool’s cushy, textured socks are a Recommender favorite. Deemed “a sweater for your feet,” the fully cushioned, merino-blend Popcorn sock is, naturally, the ultimate stocking stuffer.

We like Bearaby’s alternative approach to weighted blankets: opting for thick loops of eco-conscious fabric yarn gives their throws heft and an aesthetically pleasing texture. The luxurious Velvet Napper comes in a range of jewel tones, is made from recycled marine plastic, and comes in three weights (from 15 lbs. to 25 lbs.).

Cuddly—but oh-so chic. For the recipient who likes structure in their lounging footwear, designer Jenni Kanye’s shearling mules are a workleisure dream: Part slipper, part statement shoe.

Self-care for your feet: AllBirds signature slippers are like puffy scuffs made from upcycled scraps from their wool shoes. The Dweller is available in two delightful textures, a nubby confetti-esque felted wool and pillowy bouclé.

Unbound Merino founder Dan Demsky wore his hero product for 46 days straight—including to hot yoga—to prove that their 100% merino wool knits could last beyond their limits. While the soft, antibacterial fabric is a through line in their collection, the Heritage Knit Sweater is soon-to-be their favorite refined staple that is both stylish and life-proof.

Rumpl’s first product for inside the home, this blanket combines merino wool from Australia with organic cotton to create a non-itchy, natural-fiber product meant to keep users warm all night. Available for queen- and king-size beds—as well as a throw size—the blanket comes in four colors.

Italic’s straight-from-the-manufacturer marketplace opened to the general public last fall, making their exclusive, cost-effective goods more accessible than ever. These short shearling boots are from the same maker as a famous brand that rhymes with pug, but you (and your recipient) will never tell the difference.

They can cozy up to Parachute’s first foray into home furniture—a collection of bed frames with modern, clean lines and aesthetic fabric finishes. The Canyon is a snooze button’s dream, especially when special ordered with faux sherpa fabric that gives the impression of sleeping on a cloud.

Cuyana stays true to their fewer, better things mantra with the softest scarf/wrap/impromptu blanket they’ll ever receive. Made with sustainably sourced baby alpaca wool, this oversized scarf—available in three minimalist-friendly neutrals—will be a keeper.

Yeah, there’s flannel—but have they experienced cashmere sheets? This brushed blend is made with lightweight cotton with a hint of Himalayan cashmere, giving them a silky, soft texture that’s cozy and luxurious. Be forewarned with gifting: they may never be on time for brunch again.

The eco-conscious brand is (naturally) always looking to the sea for inspiration and for post-consumer materials to develop new fabrics and fits. This hoodie is made with 54% organic cotton and 46% recycled polyester made from such sources as plastic water bottles. Its brushed interior keeps it cozy.

A floppy noodle-shaped body pillow wrapped in snuggly faux sherpa. This squishy tubular bed accessory comes from Buffy—makers of the internet-famous Cloud Comforter—and follows in eco-friendly fashion: each Wiggle pillow is made from ​​55 post-consumer plastic bottles.

Universal Standard’s $98 cashmere comes in a rainbow of color options and two classic fits. Like the majority of their inclusivity-focused brand, the new luxury knits are designed for all bodies, with sizes 00 to 40.
