Gifts for People Who Are Always Cold
Everyone knows one. They wear a hoodie in July, steal the blanket on movie night and set the thermostat to "surface of the sun."
These gifts are for them. Some heat up, some just trap warmth really well, and all of them get used every single day once the weather turns.

Before you buy
For heated items, check the cord length and the auto shut-off time. A short cord can make a heated blanket hard to use on a big couch.
If you can't decide, pair one small warm thing (socks or hand warmers) with one big one (a throw or the hoodie). It feels like a full care package.
