Warm and cozy Christmas gift ideas

By Brittany Anas

Dreaming of a White Christmas? How about giving some cozy, comfy gifts this Christmas that will brighten and warm the winter months ahead for the friends and family members on your shopping list. From soft pajamas to cute winter accessories, here’s a last-minute gift guide for those remaining on your shopping list.

Pajamas:
Grandma just figured out how to use her new smart phone and she’s going to be posting pictures on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook come Christmas morning. Give a nice set of pajamas so everybody is photo ready and let them open the package on Christmas Eve.

A few of our favorites include this gold polka dot set from Target and this floral satin set from Victoria’s Secret.

Robes:
Robes at nice hotels always feel so plush and comfy. Why not have that comfort year-round? Overstock.com sells an authentic Hotel Spa Turkish Cotton Unisex Bathrobe just like the ones at 5-star hotels. We also love this towel warmer from Bed, Bath and Beyond that will add a little bit of luxury to the daily routine.

Cuisinart Keurig single-serve coffee maker and brewer:
This Keuring kitchen accessory from Bed, Bath and Beyond whips up single servings of coffee, tea and hot chocolate in under two minutes. The “K-Cup” pods that come in different flavors and strengths make for nice accompanying gifts.

Paint your own tea set:
Who said tea parties are just for kids? Cost Plus World Market has a paint-your-own set with teacups, saucers, spoons, napkins, a teapot and sugar bowl. The set is complete with a dozen mini paint pots and paintbrush. All for just $12.99.

Blanket:
We love this braided cable throw from West Elm that looks like an oversized cozy sweater and comes in navy, oatmeal or gray.

Socks:
Happy socks at Madewell come in bright polka dots, animal prints and stripes. They’re $12 a pair and make for ideal stocking stuffers.

Winter accessories:
Still need a hat for your best friend forever? These cashmere-wool blend hats topped with cutesy pom-poms are reminiscent of “best friend” charm necklaces from elementary school. The $29.99 two hat gift set is part of the Target + Neiman Marcus collection.
