We all know the signs of the perpetually cold coworker - the fingerless mittens, blanket-like shawl and the unrelenting grip on a cup of steaming hot tea (or coffee) while they huddle at their desk. At home, it’s even more apparent when your loved one is hidden under a huge pile of blankets, pillows and throws that decorate every room, and it’s a constant battle over the temperature controls.
One of my former colleagues had a USB-powered heated blanket at her desk, plugged into her whirling laptop while she sat typing away. We always chuckled about her icy cold fingers no matter the weather.
Inspired by her tireless struggle to find the coziest work and home products, we’re pulling together a list of some of the warmest (and unique) gifts for that person in your life who is always cold. If you just so happen to be looking for some cold-battling products for yourself, we won’t let those chilly fingers, toes and nose get the best of you.
1. Bearaby Hand-Knit Weighted Blanket (10 Pounds)
Price: $179, was $199 at Bearaby, $199 at Amazon
Never has napping been so comfortable (or warm) than with the Bearaby hand-knit weighted blanket. Made from buttery soft organic cotton that is OEKO-TEX® 100 and Fairtrade International certified, meaning this product is safe for your family, the people who manufactured it and the environment.
Weighted blankets should not be more than 10% of your body weight for best results, and the “pressure therapy” is supposed to help calm you by activating your parasympathetic nervous system, which lowers your heart rate when you’re stressed.
2. Heated Car Blanket - 12-Volt Electric Blanket
Price: $28.49, was $32.99 at Amazon
Why suffer from a cold car in the morning when you can commute with your very own heated car blanket? This fleece electric blanket can be plugged into a cigarette lighter or 12V auxiliary power outlet in a car, truck, or RV. Note that this is not machine washable (spot clean only), and comes with a storage case.

7. Sam Freestyle Down Puffer Jacket
Price: $296.24, was $395 at Saks Fifth Avenue
One of my fashionista co-workers who is, in fact, always cold, draws admiring attention everywhere she goes when she pops on this eye-catching Sam Freestyle Down Puffer Jacket. She recommended it highly, saying, “I love this coat so much that I have five. It is so warm, and is a great shape - it's fitted and not bulky - and comes in a lot of fun colors. I've had mine for several years and they still look new.” If you don’t want to stick to just black, there’s also silver, red, and blue that is sure to look absolutely stunning anywhere you go.
8. Luzdiosa Candle Warmer Lamp
Price: $38.99 at Amazon
We’ve discussed this Tiktok-infamous candle warmer lamp before, and we still think it’s one of the most useful home decor and ambiance gifts (followed by a pretty salt lamp). Both safe and environmentally-friendly, enjoy the scent of your candle without the fire hazard. The soft lighting is also great when you’re cuddled up on the couch in your wearable blanket binging Netflix after a long day.

12. Weighted Heating Pad for Neck and Shoulders
Price: $49.99 at Amazon; $39.99 at Walmart

Don’t struggle with a square heating pad anymore - it can wrap around the back of the neck and over the shoulders for comfortable coverage.

Imagine a fluffy slipper that feels like a cloud and has the warmth of a heating pad, and you’ve discovered the Warmies marshmallow boots.

24. Cinder Tabletop Bowl
Price: $39.99 at SoloStove
You don’t have to duck outside (or even step away from your desk) for the feeling of a cozy campfire. The Solo Stove tabletop bowl is fueled by the Solo Stove smokeless gel fuel, and one canister can create up to three hours of smokeless flames. Made from concrete and a heat-resistant base, it will, however, be hot when in use so make sure to handle it with care even after you extinguish the flame. If your loved one craves a little S’mores snack, you can roast a few marshmallows when using the smokeless gel fuel (not to be confused with the Citronelle scented fuel though!).
25. Genuine Fred MANATEA Manatee Reusable Silicone Tea Infuser

How We Made Our Decision
First-hand Testing
I’ve noted the products where I, or my co-workers, have personally tested and recommended a product. We intend for every recommendation that comes from us to have a personal stamp of approval - and it should be something we would highly recommend to our friends and family.
Comfort
For our cold-adversant friends and family, heat and comfort was of the utmost importance when curating this list. Even household items that are perhaps more for ambiance, like the candle warmer, should be designed for coziness.
Price
We did want to keep the price point relatively reasonable. Everyone has a different threshold for gift giving, and our intent was to offer a variety of items at different price points for every budget.
Reviews
We let the reviewers speak for themselves. If a product has few (or no) verified reviewers, or the complaints outweigh the purpose and price of the product, we won’t feature it in our lists.
