The holiday season is synonymous with the term cozy in my book. Even though I’m veering away from my usual content for this post, get ready to gift the warmest, snuggliest, and tastiest present yet!
Welcome to Day 2 of our 25 days of #Giftmas for 2021! Today I want to share my cozy gift set picks that are perhaps more versatile and practical. Items that will definitely boost the holiday cheer and provide more joy to the day to day life.
If you haven’t already seen Day 1 of Giftmas, please find it linked here.
Product #1
The Big One Family Blanket $49.99
(currently 25% off at $37.49)
The first product featured is a huge soft micro-fleece blanket. Often times we gravitate towards fleece blankets with sherpa underneath, but I find that sherpa is not as durable in the long run. This blanket is sooooooo soft and will make anyone working from home want to drape it on while they are typing away during office hours.
Product #2
Grounds and Hounds Coffee, Starter Kit $28.99
Following the cozy blanket, is another warm and fuzzy number — coffee and hot chocolate. Grounds and Hounds Coffee dedicates a portion of their net profits to support rescue initiatives. So if your gift recipient is an animal lover like I am, this is the gift for the perfect cause!
They have blends that are really unique and very fitting for this theme. The Coffee Starter Pack features three of their best sellers and come in whole beans, ground coffee and even coffee pods. The Hot Chocolate Pack comes with three best seller varieties and come in full sized bag, perfect for sharing with the family.

Product #3
Fortnum & Mason Cookie Tins $25.14
There’s absolutely no way I was going to leave you hanging with just a drink in hand and no treats to go with it! Another perfect pairing for the previous beverages would be some delicious cookies and biscuits from Fortnum & Mason.
Although their shipping to the United States is quite pricey, it is a flat shipping rate, — so you get a cookie tin and you get a cookie tin! Some of my favorites are the tall biscuit tins, especially the Pistachio & Clotted Cream Biscuits, and the Chocolate & Macadamia Biscuits.
Please note that the pricing may vary due to the exchange rate between the GBP & USD.
Product #4
Brooklyn Candle Studio Minimalist Candles $28
To set the mood for a lovely evening, a candle is a must! (Please take extra caution as candles do produce an open flame!) Brooklyn Candle Studio produces some of the most minimalistic candles that are soy wax based, burn clean, and have lead free cotton wicks. They are also petroleum free, cruelty free, phthalate free, and 100% vegan. The candles are hand poured in Industry City, Brooklyn.
I was first introduced to this brand by a lovely lady in the Canal Street Market Terminal in Chinatown, New York City. I received a small sample that day of the Japanese Citrus and have been enjoying their candles since.
The two that I would recommend for the cozy seasonal spirit are Christmas Tree and Toasted Pumpkin.
Product #5
Cozy Cable Knit Sweaters (prices vary)
Lastly, but definitely not least is the cozy cable knit. This is not only a unisex gift, but also a wonderful piece to add to anyone’s timeless winter wardrobe. Even though manufacturers churn out sweaters every year, the designs rarely change; it’s almost as if the designs are classics.
There are plenty of sweaters on the market, but I chose some from J.Crew because their quality is reasonable for their prices. Additionally, I’ve added a couple of affordable options from Old Navy.
You’ll find that the prices vary depending on the material that is used. Generally, if it’s more eco-friendly or made of cashmere the prices are higher. Vice versa, if it’s synthetic or made of a lower cost fabric the prices are generally a bit lower to reflect this as well.
J.Crew: Cashmere Balloon-Sleeve Cable Knit Sweater $328
J.Crew: Cotton Cashmere Set
Cotton Cashmere Cable Knit Pull-Over $168
Cotton Cashmere Cable Knit Pants $178
J.Crew: Men’s Cashmere Cable Knit V-Neck Sweater $267.99
Old Navy: Marled Cable Knit Popcorn Sweater $45
(extra 35% off at checkout)
Old Navy: Shawl-Collar Button Down Cardigan Sweater (Men) $55
(extra 35% off at checkout)
