15 Cozy Gifts For People Who Love Staying In
Whether it’s a workhorse pot or a perfect mug of chai, the best cozy gifts make the most out of shorter days and colder temperatures. As a self-proclaimed homebody, these are my favorite home accessories that help me feel more comfortable than my favorite set of flannel pajamas, so they’re sure to make great gifts for everyone on your list. On this list you’ll find options for coffee and tea lovers, a spillproof fuzzy blanket, and more that’ll inspire your loved one to relax and get into the cozy spirit.
A rechargeable mug that stays warm for hours
Nothing kills a cozy vibe like a lukewarm cup of coffee or tea, so ensure your loved one’s drinks always stay toasty with a rechargeable mug. Ember’s app allows you to set the exact temperature of the cup so drinks will never be too cold or too hot, and you can even set timers to make sure tea is perfectly steeped.
The foundation for a better chai latte
Life is simply too short to have mid chai. Diaspora Co’s Chai Masala is the ideal foundation for making steamy cups of spiced chai; it just needs to be simmered with the black tea and milk of your choice. If the chai lover on your list enjoys baked goods, they can use the tin to make spiced cakes or cookies—and what’s a more cozy gift than that?
An apple-spiced herbal tea
While we can all agree that Celestial Seasonings is an icon in the cozy tea space, this apple cider tea is a great non-chamomile herbal tea option that’ll have your loved one feeling warm and fuzzy all year long. Tasting notes of cinnamon, orange peel, and licorice root evoke fall vibes without falling too deep into the “pumpkin spice” territory, and the box of 16 sachets would make a great stocking stuffer.
Warm slippers for winter cooking
Tending to a stew or campfire meal in colder weather can be a joy, but not if your toes are cold or you’re sliding around a kitchen in your socks. These shearling-lined slippers are great for keeping your feet warm against ice-cold floors, or for stepping outside to check on a barbecue smoker or campsite firepit. The memory foam sole also lends some comfort and arch support so your feet won’t hurt after babysitting a high-maintenance stew all day.
Crocheted coasters for the breakfast-obsessed
While your drink might not need a knitted scarf, these crocheted coasters will keep beverages perfectly set on a coffee table. Also, who wouldn’t want to decorate their space with adorable slabs of bacon, eggs, and buttered toast?
A Vietnamese coffee kit
When shopping for cozy gifts for a coffee fanatic, it’s difficult to avoid giving them something they don’t already have. Odds are that they already have their pour-over or espresso setups fine-tuned to a T, so this phin filter kit will let them experiment with a new type of coffee preparation. Plus, the blend of arabica and robusta beans also tastes great if you use it in a French press.
The stew season GOAT
A pot for cozy soups and stews is the perfect gift for home cooks. The aluminum body is a lot lighter than enameled cast iron, making it easier for you to maneuver the pot, and the self-basting lid is great for braising. It’s also ovensafe for any of their baking or roasting needs. The fact that it’ll be easier for them to host you for dinner is simply a plus.
The warm bevvy MVP
This gorgeous (and reliable) kettle from Aarke will help anyone fix up their favorite cold weather beverages, whether they’re hot toddies, tea, or French press coffee. This kettle has intuitive temperature-control settings, and the sleek stainless finish will look great on their counter.
A broccoli-inspired fleece
Korean-inspired streetwear brand Sundae School makes some of the absolute coziest fleeces we’ve ever worn, and some very good mochi gummies. We’re gifting this broccoli-patterned full-zip fleece to all the people on our list who prefer to hang out at home, possibly enjoying some weed brownies. It’s triple-lined, with side pockets to keep your hands warm and a nylon chest pocket for stashing snacks.
The perfect French onion soup vessel
Is French onion soup season a thing? If not, it should be. Make it happen by giving everyone you know one (or several) of these mini cocottes from Staub. The cast-iron construction ensures a French onion soup stays warm and gooey out of the oven, and it’s broiler-safe so the cheese and bread topping comes out perfectly golden and crunchy.
Some fancy hot cocoa
While Swiss Miss gets points for nostalgia, it’s not exactly the best hot chocolate out there. Upgrade your loved one’s hot choccy experience with a bag of drinking chocolate from Vosges, the maker of all our favorite luxury chocolates. Their Parisian-inspired drinking chocolate is infused with Madagascar vanilla beans and may just replace your giftee’s morning coffee.
Super soft cold-weather accessories
There’s nothing cozier than drinking a warm beverage outside while snowflakes fall around you—and to actually enjoy that experience, you need the right accessories to keep the vibes going. We’re obsessed with everything from French brand Sézane, but their incredibly soft baby alpaca scarf and gloves might be our all-time favorites.
Our favorite mug
The East Fork mug has developed such a fervent fan base that it’s literally referred to as The Mug. We get it. though—the thick round edges of the vessel and handle feel super comfortable and made for lazy mornings. We wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes your loved one’s favorite mug in their collection.
A fuzzy blanket for your friend who loves to cancel plans
This blanket gives you the best of both worlds, with a luxe faux-fur texture on one side and waterproof satin backing on the other. You can snack without abandon during an at-home movie marathon knowing that this blanket has plenty of warmth, and any spilled liquids will bead right off. And if things get really messy, it’s also machine-washable.
