The Best Gifts for the Person Who Is Always Cold
We all know someone who is constantly cold. I am, in fact, one of those people. I hate air conditioners. I hate winter. I hate being more than 10 feet away from a heater or blanket. As a result, I have all sorts of items designed to keep me warm. Here’s what I recommend as a gift if you know someone like me.
Cozy gifts for the eternally cold
Before we get into technology, I will say that you can always buy classic, cozy pieces for someone and it will be appreciated. I usually find gifts like fuzzy socks a little basic, but when you’re tasked with secretly wishing Santa to that coworker who’s always bundled up in a blanket at his desk, fuzzy socks suddenly become the best impersonal gift of the season. In winter I never wear normal socks. I’m a sucker for fuzzy socks from October to March. That’s why I suggest multipack :
However, stay away from blankets. It’s a nice gesture, but it’s already done; your cold friend is probably short on blankets. What they may not have, however, and what I’ve been getting into lately, is fleece-lined shirts. I love regular hoodies and all, but I also like to look presentable, so discovering these last month was a game changer for me. You have a lot of options , mostly in the $20 to $35 range, and I can almost guarantee they will love it.
Technology gifts for cold people
Now it’s time for the fun part: gadgets that keep you warm. I’ve mentioned this before , but I recently fell in love with my little rechargeable heating pad . They are usually used to relieve cramping pain, but I wear them all the time. I wear it at home and even under my coat when I go out. It’s small and easy to hide, but it’s very effective in delivering some serious heat directly to my body.
Likewise, consider gifting a few rechargeable hand warmers . Of course, one-off gifts are fine, but this is a little more advanced and makes a much better gift. Two of them retail for $21.99 and heat up to 130 ° F, so recipients can slip them into their coat pockets and create the perfect sanctuary for their hands during brisk walks.
Additionally, I also have a heated vest that is battery powered and can be worn under a coat. It has more heating power than my little belt so it’s perfect for when I have to be outside for a while, but it’s not very bulky so I can also wear it indoors if I feel like it necessity. Bonus: The battery acts as a portable phone charger in a pinch.
For those who can commute to work by car, why not take advantage of heated seats? This car-sized cushion costs $54.99 and can make commuting to work or the store much more comfortable for those who don’t have built-in heated seats. You may not understand why your perpetually cold friend doesn’t have enough venting, but trust me: it simply isn’t (especially if the other occupants of the car don’t mind getting hit in the face with hot air).
If you want to be the real star of the holiday, I recommend a heated towel rail . I don’t have one, but I want one, so if anyone I know is reading this, consider your Christmas responsibilities resolved. Imagine stepping out of the shower on a cold winter morning and being able to immediately wrap yourself in a hot towel instead of shivering in the middle of the bath. Sounds simply divine. Also throw a blanket in there to toast up before you curl up and head to the movies. It’s more unusual than a regular electric blanket, so it’s considered a more thoughtful and unique gift.
