17 Cozy Gifts for People Who Love Staying In

Whether it’s a workhorse pot or perfect mug of chai, the best cozy gifts make the most out of shorter days and colder temperatures. As a self-proclaimed homebody, these are my favorite home accessories that help me feel more comfortable than my favorite set of flannel pajamas, so they’re sure to make great gifts for everyone on your list. On this list you’ll find options for coffee and tea lovers, a spill-proof fuzzy blanket, and more that’ll inspire your loved one to relax and get into the cozy spirit.

A Rechargeable Mug That Stays Warm for Hours

Nothing kills a cozy vibe like a lukewarm cup of coffee or tea, so ensure that your loved one’s drinks always stay toasty with a rechargeable mug. Ember’s app allows you to set the exact temperature of the cup, so their drinks will never be too cold or too hot, and you can even set timers to make sure tea is perfectly steeped.

A Candle That Feels Like A Warm Blanket

This moody candle has enough spice notes to evoke the holidays but is subtle enough that you can burn it year-round. The peppered gingerbread and smoked marshmallow scent gives the warm, cozy feeling of pulling fresh cookies out of the oven without all of the work. The 8.5-ounce option makes a lovely gift, or you can go all out with a three-wick 50-ounce version.

The Foundation to a Better Chai

Life is simply too short to have mid chai. Diaspora Co’s Chai Masala is the ideal foundation for making steamy cups of spiced chai; it just needs to be simmered with the black tea and milk of your choice. If the chai lover on your list enjoys baked goods, they can use the tin to make spiced cakes or cookies—and what’s more of a cozy gift than that?

An Apple-Spiced Herbal Tea

While we can all agree that Celestial Seasonings is an icon in the cozy tea space, this apple cider tea is a great non-chamomile herbal tea option that’ll have your loved one feeling warm and fuzzy all year long. Tasting notes of cinnamon, orange peel, and licorice root evoke fall vibes without falling too deep into the “pumpkin spice” territory, and the box of 16 sachets would make a great stocking stuffer.

Warm Slippers for Winter Cooking

While tending to a stew or campfire meal in colder weather can be a joy, but not if your toes are cold or are sliding around a kitchen in your socks. These shearling-lined slippers are great for keeping your feet warm against ice-cold floors, or for stepping outside to check on a barbecue smoker or campsite firepit. The memory foam sole also lends some comfort and arch support so your feet won’t hurt after babysitting a high-maintenance stew all day.

Cozy Coasters That Celebrate the Best Meal of the Day

While your drink might not need a knitted scarf, these crocheted coasters will keep beverages perfectly set on a coffee table. Also, who wouldn’t want to decorate their space with adorable slabs of bacon, eggs, and buttered toast?

Some Bowl Cozies for Hot Soups

As stew season comes into its peak, your loved one probably has plenty of leftovers to reheat. And after firing up your microwave, you can risk burning your hands or spilling precious soup on a blazing hot bowl. These quilted bowl cozies solve this problem and come in a fun range of colors and patterns.

A Coffee Kit They Probably Don’t Already Have

When shopping for cozy gifts for a coffee fanatic, it’s difficult to avoid giving them something they don’t already have. Odds are that they already have their pour-over or espresso setups fine-tuned to a T, so this phin filter kit will let them experiment with a new type of coffee preparation. Plus, the blend of arabica and robusta beans also tastes great if you use it in a French press.

The Warm Bevvy MVP

This gorgeous (and reliable) kettle from Aarke will help anyone fix up their favorite cold weather beverages, whether they’re hot toddies, tea, or French press coffee. This kettle has intuitive temperature control settings, and the sleek stainless finish will look great on their counter.

The Stew Season GOAT

A pot for cozy soups and stews is the perfect gift for home cooks. The aluminum body is a lot lighter than enameled cast iron, making it easier for you to maneuver the pot, and the self-basting lid is great for braising. It’s also oven-safe for any of their baking or roasting needs. The fact that it’ll be easier for them to host you for dinner is simply a plus.

The Perfect French Onion Soup Vessel

Is French onion soup season a thing? If not, it should be. Make it happen by giving everyone you know one (or several) of these mini cocottes from Staub. The cast-iron construction ensures a French onion soup stays warm and gooey out of the oven, and it’s broiler-safe so the cheese and bread topping comes out perfectly golden and crunchy.

An Every Occasion Sweatshirt

Less is more with this classic crewneck sweatshirt with a subtle Bon Appétit logo. The strawberries-and-cream hues are a nod to a little lad’s favorite dessert. Throw it on for a quick trip to the farmers market, or stay warm at home with its soft brushed cotton interior.

Some Fancy Hot Cocoa

While Swiss Miss gets points for nostalgia, it’s not exactly the best hot chocolate out there. Upgrade your loved one’s hot choccy experience with a bag of single-source hot cocoa from renowned chocolatier L.A. Burdick. A cup of this cocoa is complex and rich, with notes of banana, coffee and nutmeg, and it comes with an adorable mini whisk.

A Classically Cozy Mug

East Fork’s mugs have developed such a fervent fan base that it’s literally referred to as The Mug. We get it though—the thick round edges of the vessel and handle feel super comfortable and made for lazy mornings. We wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes your loved one’s favorite mug in their collection.

A Fuzzy Blanket for the Person Who Lives for Canceled Plans

This blanket gives you the best of both worlds, with a luxe faux-fur texture on one side and waterproof satin backing on the other. You can snack without abandon during at-home movie marathon knowing that this blanket has plenty of warmth, and any spilled liquids will bead right off. And if things get really messy, it’s also machine washable.

An Outdoor Mug for Coffee Snobs

If you’re looking for a gift for someone who is as obsessed with the outdoors as they are about coffee, you can go ahead and stop right here. The wide mouth of this travel mug lets you experience the full aromatic sensation of sipping on a steaming cup of tea or coffee while camping, and the top-notch insulation keeps hot drinks hot for 12 hours to keep your drink toasty throughout a predawn hike.
