Do you know someone who just can't deal with winter? Well, along with other cozy gift ideas like heated slippers and funky socks, you should consider adding a weighted blanket to your shopping list.
Aside from being warm AF, weighted blankets can have therapeutic benefits, too — stress and anxiety relief and a better night's sleep, for starters. You can actually find some blankets that are weighted and heated, which is a nice bonus.
Here are six weighted blankets with great reviews online that you should check out as you start your holiday shopping this year. Who knows, you might end up picking one up for yourself, too.
