We all know someone who is always — we really mean, always — cold. No matter the season, they'll somehow find a way to catch a chill, whether it's the roaring A/C or bitter winter wind to blame. To you, it may be all fun and games ("Freezing in a heat wave? How?!"), but the reality is that you always want the best for the people you love most — and that includes never having to complain about the cold. ever. again.
In that case, browse this curated list of gifts for people who are always cold a.k.a your best friend, coworker, mom, dad or elderly family member. Find cold weather-appropriate clothing and accessories (the heated jacket is a must-buy) to keep them warm all winter long, along with cozy slippers, bathrobes and weighted blankets to snuggle up in at home. But since you're probably not the first person to give them a cold-centric gift, we included an array of unique Christmas gift ideas that'll warm him or her from the outside in, like a monthly tea subscription box. Whatever you go with, these thoughtful picks are sure to give 'em the warm fuzzies — literally.
Ella Jayne Wearable Weighted Snuggle Blanket
If you can't be there to hug them IRL, this gift is the next best thing: This wearable blanket combines the calming power of a weighted blanket (each one weighs 10 lbs.) and the comfort of a hooded Snuggie to mimic the feeling.

Intelex Microwavable Cozy Slippers
Heat their body from the ground up with these ultra-plush slippers, which emit a soothing lavender scent once warm. Stick them in the microwave for a minute (give or take, depending on your settings) to feel the full effects for at least 40 minutes of wear.
THE COMFY Wearable Blanket
The next time they get the chills, they can throw on this fleece-lined blanket-slash-sweatshirt to keep cozy. Just roll up the sleeves to eat, play or work in optimal comfort.

If they constantly complain that their 9 to 5 puts the A/C on blast, then give them this mini space heater to keep at their desk. Amazon reviewers rave that it heats up a room quickly ("I don't have to use it for longer than 5 minutes or so") and the cooling function makes it easy to transport the heater from room to room.
A cup of tea is a surefire way to warm them up from the inside out. Add an element of surprise to this otherwise classic gift by signing them up for a monthly subscription, which will send a box of loose-leaf and bagged teas (at least 16 cups' worth) right to their door.
Fill their stocking with this five-pack of wool socks and you're good to go. Tack on a few self-care goodies (foot cream, obviously) to remind themselves to take some time to R&R in the frightfully cold months ahead.
One Amazon reviewer said they "never want to take them off" and that's all we needed to hear. They're roomy, super warm and even have a pocket to stash her phone ... or hide the TV remote from the rest of her household.
Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2
As soon as they pour their coffee or tea in this app-controlled mug, they can rest easy knowing that it'll stay the perfect temperature (anywhere between 120°F - 145°F) through hours of Zoom calls, work meetings and whatever else takes them away from their cup.
Not only does this handy gadget bring the warmth, but it promotes circulation, allowing the shiatsu massager to work its magic. Use the foot massager to ease pains after a long day on your feet, or remove the cover to give the same treatment to your neck or back.
They might think basic sweatpants are warm, but they clearly haven't tried these sherpa-lined beauties. Outside, they look just like normal sweats (okay, a bit bulkier), but it's the inside that really counts, leading Amazon reviewers to call them the "thickest, softest, warmest pants I've ever worn."
When they stick this pretty pillow in the microwave for a minute or two, they'll fill their space with the most calming herbal aroma. But that's just half of it: Place it on any trouble areas — a tight neck, achy foot, upset stomach and so on — to feel a sense of relief.
With a flick of a switch, they'll have just what they need to keep their body warm. Toggle between three temperature levels, ranging from 95ºF - 131ºF, depending on just how chilling the elements are.
Give 'em double the warmth — the beanie looks super stylish on top while the knit gaiter protects their neck, lips and ears from the harsh winter winds.
Good Housekeeping The Best-Ever Cookie Book
Freshly-baked cookies are the ultimate comfort food — and that's exactly what they need when the temperature dips. When the time comes, they can whip up any one of these 175 tried-and-tested recipes, everything from salted chocolate caramel cookies to spicy snickerdoodles.
If bubble baths are the way to her heart, then give her these bath salts to make hers as luxurious as can be. Tailor the scent to the type of soak she needs — eucalyptus offers clarity, for example.
In the days leading up to puffer coat weather, she can snuggle up in this sherpa quarter-zip. Pick from a range of fun colors and patterns, including two-tone plaid and trendy tie-dye.
No need for any additional heat packs — a battery-powered warmer is worked into this coat's design, so you can ward off any harsh chills. Once you turn it on, it'll heat up within seconds and last for up to 10 hours of straight wear.
Here's an easy way to take their bedtime routine to a whole new level. Thirty minutes before they're ready to hit the lights, they can put these self-warming eye masks in place to go into relaxation mode.
Sometimes, you just have to tell it like it is. This crewneck will tell everyone who they're dealing with, so they won't be surprised when they ask 'em to crank up the thermostat.
A solid night's sleep is one of the best gifts you can give. It all starts with good sheets — and this set is made with soft-yet-breathable flannel that will keep them warm during the coldest months of the year.
