Gifts for People Who Are Always Cold

Everyone knows someone who is always cold. They reach for a blanket the moment they sit down, wear socks to bed and ask if anyone else feels a chill. If you are buying for them, the best gift is something they will use every single day. Here are our ideas, starting with the one we know best.

1. A long hooded blanket

For the person who wants to be wrapped up while they sit, go long. Our Starry Elegance Haven is 140 cm (55 in) from the shoulder, with two front pockets for cold hands. The Navy Long Haven is a calm solid at 130 cm (51 in), with a deep front kangaroo pocket. Both have fleece outside and soft sherpa inside.

2. A zip-up hooded blanket

Some people hate pulling things over their head. A Zip Haven has a single full-front zip and two front pockets, so they can step in, zip up and get straight back to the couch.

3. A classic hooded blanket

The classic Haven is 96 cm (38 in) from the shoulder, oversized, with a big hood and a front kangaroo pocket. It is an easy choice if you are not sure how tall they are or what they like. Pick a calm solid like the Navy Haven or a playful print like the Polar Bear Haven.

4. A matching one for the kids

If the person who is always cold is a child, our Youth Havens (84 cm, 33 in) and Toddler Havens (64 cm, 25 in) give them their own. Matching a parent and child in the same shade, like Navy Haven and Youth Navy Haven, makes a sweet shared gift.

5. Thick socks

Cold feet are often the first complaint. A pair of thick, soft socks is an easy extra that pairs well with any hooded blanket.

6. A hot water bottle

Something warm to hold makes a quiet night in on the couch feel even better.

7. A big mug and their go-to hot drink

Add a large mug and a box of the tea, coffee or hot chocolate they always choose. Simple, personal and used every day.

8. A night in, planned for them

Put it all together: a Haven, a show or a book they have been meaning to get to, and their go-to snacks. It is the gift of an evening where they finally feel warm enough.

How to choose the right Haven

• Wants more coverage, or likes to curl up? Go for a Full Length Haven (140 cm, 55 in) or a Long Haven (130 cm, 51 in). Fit depends on height, so compare with their shoulder-to-hem measurement if you can.
• Hates pulling things on? Choose a Zip Haven.
• Not sure? The classic Haven (96 cm, 38 in) suits most people.
• Buying for a child? Youth (84 cm, 33 in) or Toddler (64 cm, 25 in).

All lengths are measured from the shoulder. See the size guide for full measurements, or read What Is a Hooded Blanket? if you are new to them.
