When the weather outside is frightful, curling up with a warm blanket and soothing cocoa is so delightful.
Staying cozy and warm is the best part of the holidays and after, as the snow starts to fall and the temperatures drop.
This year especially, many of us will be spending Christmas through the new year indoors due to the continued pandemic. However, being home for the holidays doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy the best part of the season: sending gifts to loved ones and spending time curled up on the couch in pajamas with your family, watching a great Christmas movie and sipping on eggnog.
To help you keep warm and to send some cozy cheer to others, the Post rounded up our favorite items that make us feel warm and fuzzy inside and out. We also sorted our list by favorite items, including plush robes, loungewear, pajamas and more.
Send them out in time for the holidays, or stash a few away to break out for yourself as the chill of winter sets in. If you have a specific cozy gift in mind, use the links below to take you right there. Otherwise, grab some cocoa and a blanket and settle in for the best cozy gifts of 2022.
