Baby, it’s cold outside! If you ask Us, there’s pretty much only one foolproof holiday gift for anyone on your list (yes, even the person who has everything). It’s not a candle — you never know someone’s preference for scent. It’s also not pajamas — one size definitely does not fit all.

Our go-to winter present? A throw blanket. Soft and cozy, this must-have will keep you warm in the coldest months. Even if your recipient already owns a favorite blanket, there’s no such thing as too much comfort! Throws can add a layer of insulation while cuddling on the couch or sleeping at night.

Nordstrom has the best selection of blankets from premium brands! UGG and Barefoot Dreams are known for their plush fabric, but we also tracked down hidden gems that are equally soft and comfortable. ‘Tis the season to be comfy and cozy, snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be!
