Hello friends,

Did you have a nice Thanksgiving and long weekend?

It’s simply mind blowing that we are days away from December. I am just not ready for the holidays to fly by like this year has already.

I am shifting into the holiday mode and will be sharing some gift guides. I do not intend to blow up your emails with gift guides because, well, every blogger and “influencer” will be doing that as well as retailer sites that have their own gift guides available. I think they are a great way to get ideas though, and because of that I’ll be sharing items that I would order, may have ordered, or definitely ordered in the past. I’ll try to keep them simple.

Onwards we go! Today’s gift guide is a simple concept - all things cozy from Nordstrom, Walmart, and Target.

Make sure to pin this image to Pinterest to save it for later!

These items are basic in a way, but I am sharing them because quite literally - when have you ever been disappointed in receiving something cozy? Are you encouraging me to bundle up to rest and relax? THANK YOU. Yes, I would love to do that (even if I do not have the time to). Pair these gift ideas with a bottle of wine, a good book or devotional, some nice smelling lotion or bath salts and let me assure you that delight will had.

Nordstrom

Bliss plush throw blankets are soft and cozy and will not break the bank. We have it in navy from our previous home and it has been a favorite for us and our pups! It comes in six color options.
CozyChic light essential throw blankets are so soft and cozy as well. If you own a Barefoot Dream cardigan then you already know. The price point is a splurge but perhaps you have someone on your list that you spend more on. It comes in four color options. I purchased the less expensive Amazon version in black for our master bedroom so it won’t hurt as much if our pups ruin it.
Nod Pod Sleep Mask is a fun and yet practical gift because who around here actually gets good sleep? It’s gift worthy to the person on your list who struggles with sleeping well. I have gifted this in the past and would get one for myself except I have false lashes so I can’t wear them. It comes in seven color options.
In the Wild throw blanket is again another splurge, this time a major one. But IYKYK. I personally wouldn’t spend money on this because I have dogs and I purchased the Amazon versions for my home because of that. But, what a luxurious evening one would have bundled up under this soft animal print blanket! The Amazon version I purchased in beige and black.
Women’s Moonlight Eco Knit Pajamas have nineteen different pattern options so it’s sort of hard to go wrong with these especially with a gift receipt if the recipient wants to exchange sizing or pattern. The reason I am listing pajamas is because I personally struggle with spending money on them and wear a random hodge podge of clothing items to bed. I find it hard to justify buying myself nice pajamas.
Men’s Plaid Flannel Pajamas come in four color options. Repeat the above idea that I rarely buy new or coordinated pajamas and I just think some people would appreciate nice new ones.
The UGG Gifford pajama pants and Gordon zip up hoodie are both highly rated and if you live there it’s colder then the stretch cotton fleece would be a welcomed cozy delight. These come in three coordinated color options.
The CozyChic Barefoot Dreams blanket wrap has sold out!! 🥺 But, there are plenty of other options still available by the brand that you can shop for by clicking here.. I love wearing my CozyChic Lite Circle Cardigan anytime it gets colder. It is so soft. I even bought two of them for my Mammaw. AND I have purchased their pet sweaters for my pups as well. I LOVE THIS BRAND.
Christmas Cologne Collection by Jo Malone London is a great sampler set. This is a brand that I hear everyone rave about. It’s pricey in general and so I know it’s a luxury item that many won’t spend the money for a regular sized bottle of perfume/cologne. That’s why these smaller sampler sets are a great option.
Cologne Intense Collection by Jo Malone London is another great sampler set. It is a little more expensive than the other one and also has great reviews. If you know someone who likes this brand but can’t or won’t spend the money on it then this is a great gift idea.

Walmart

Better Homes & Gardens reverse faux shearling throws come in five color/pattern options. These have 4.9 star reviews and honestly everything I’ve purchased of this brand for our current home has been excellent. These are soft in two different ways and would be glorious to lounge under.
Better Homes & Gardens faux fur and leopard throws are every bit of luxury meets affordability. These would be pretty as a throw and functional to get cozy and warm up. This comes in six color options (eight total, but two are unavailable while I’m writing this).
Time and True women’s buffalo plaid rauna wrap is a great gift item because it’s also festive. It’s a one size fits all easy gift that’s also stylish to wear out of the house. This comes in red buffalo plaid and black buffalo plaid.
Better Homes & Gardens cozy knit throws are another “version” of the CozyChic blankets at Nordstroms at a fraction of the cost. This comes in six color options.
Time and Tru women’s cozy travel set comes in six color options and can be used at home or on the go! It is the same soft material as the blankets.
Who doesn’t love a great smelling candle? I burn them all day long when I’m home. The Packed Party candles have five holiday scents available. The Mainstays holiday candles come in umpteen scents between Christmas and fall scents.
Men’s pajamas are a nice gift to replace any worn out pajamas and/or also for family matching for holiday cards or Christmas morning. Men’s Hanes ultrasoft flannel pajama set comes in a red buffalo plaid and a green buffalo plaid.
Men’s Hanes Xtemp crewneck top with cozy microfleece pants pajama set comes in five color options. The reviews say it’s warm, soft, and comfortable.
Joyspun women’s stretch velour notch color top with pants set look so soft and silky and luxurious and it comes in eight color pattern options (some are not holiday prints). This is shown below in the green and pink plaid on the left and in the red buffalo plaid on the right.
Joyspun women’s long sleeve tee and jogger pajama set comes in eight fun and festive holiday patterns. I’ve just ordered the pink “feeling festive” one pictured below!
Joyspun women’s ribbed velour top and pants with scrunchie set comes in seven solid color options. These are not so festive in color options so they’re even better for all year.
Joyspun women’s stretch velour pajama set with socks comes in eight color pattern options. Some are not festive and some are. These look flattering and cozy, for sure.

Target

Faux Shearling Fleece Blanket by Bare Home comes in four size options and in 14 color options. It is fleece on one side and shearling on the other. COZY!
Threshold Solid Chenille Knit Throw comes in six color options and quite honestly, who doesn’t like chenille?
Bare Home Microplush Fleece Bed Blanket comes in five size options and in 23 color options. We have this in navy and used to use it at the end of our bed as decor but in this new home we switched to a black throw from Amazon. We still put this on the bed every evening for Luigi to sleep under and Lorenzo to sleep on top of.
New house slippers are nice to receive because they can get worn and gross quickly both on the bottoms and on in the inside.
Goodfellow & Co Men’s Topher Moccasin Leather Slippers comes in two traditional colors and has shearling and flannel on the inside for warmth and rubber soles so it can be worn outside.
Stars Above Women’s Emily Puff Scuff Slippers come in 11 color options and come of them would coordinate with holiday pajamas. They also have rubber soles for outdoor use.
Nodpod Weighted Pod is a compact weighted blanket (smaller size) and comes in two colors. It helps anxiety, stress, and sleep. I basically need a giant weighted blanket these days, but I digress.
Stars Above is a Target brand I’ve both purchased and received as a gift. They have really soft pajamas!

I love burning candles all day when I’m home or sitting at my desk. When I was in a corporate office I used a candle warmer every day since I couldn’t light it.
