I even break it down by price point so you can find something in your budget.Best cozy gifts under $25Completing an extensive skin care routine after a long day at work or school can feel exhausting, especially if you’re a commuter. I love these under eye masks from Topicals, which let me depuff and brighten my under eyes while lounging on the couch. They’re formulated with caffeine, kojic acid and arbutin, all of which help with evening skin tone and reducing dark circles, and also have a cooling hydrogel to soothe the skin. Your recipient can apply the masks for 15 minutes, two to three times a week for best results — and the stylish pink design is an added bonus.Ugg is one of my favorite cozy brands — I’ve had multiple pairs of the boots over the years, and each one had the incredibly comfortable fuzzy insoles the brand is famous for. These socks have the same cozy feel, except in a version that’s perfect for wearing around the house. They’re made from a soft, fuzzy chenille, and have a top cuff that keeps them snug around your calves, according to the brand. They’re available in a wide range of sizes and a handful of colors (so you can choose your giftee’s favorite) — but the cream shade will only cost you $20 at Dick’s Sporting Goods.Best cozy gifts under $50This plush, chunky scarf from Uniqlo is ideal for staying warm in the winter. Made from a wool-nylon blend, its surface is brushed to form a short, fuzzy layer that gives the scarf extra volume and fullness, according to the brand, and is perfect for keeping your giftee’s neck wrapped safely away from the cold when they must venture outside. I’d been looking for a winter scarf for a while, and after purchasing this, my search ended almost immediately — not only is it soft and warm, but also very durable, and looks great with just about anything I wear.BETAA rich, thick body cream is one of my winter skin care essentials — and the ideal cold weather addition to anyone’s routine. This Fenty Skin body cream is made from shea butter and glycerin for hydration and moisture-barrier repair, along with seven different oils meant to nourish skin, including sorrel, baobab, coconut and jojoba, according to the brand. It now comes in a limited-edition guava scent that adds a fruity twist to the holiday season.This 500-piece puzzle is a fun way for your giftee to unwind while escaping from the cold. It’s made from glossy art paper coated over a 2 millimeter chipboard to prevent damage after repeated use, according to the brand. The gradient design is also available as a 1000-piece pink, orange and yellow puzzle.With this daily guided journal, your giftee can write their way to a stronger wellness routine. It has 365 prompts across 10 themes, including love, self care, happiness, understanding your past and pursuing goals, and is designed to take them through a full year of reflection and growth. The minimally-designed book is made with a black, textured vegan leather cover and has gold lettering, so it’s simple but elegant; it also comes with an attached ribbon bookmark. Best cozy gifts under $100I’ll always love a Lego set as a calming evening activity, and with this set your giftee can build three different mini bonsai trees to make up their very own brick-based zen garden. The set includes a gingko bonsai with yellow leaves, a black pine bonsai with green needles and a wisteria bonsai with lilac flowers, made from a total of 709 pieces, according to the brand. It’s a great way to unwind after a long day (I especially love putting my sets together with a movie in the background), and add a fun twist to any home’s plant shelf.These slippers are made with insulated materials for heat retention, and also have a fleece collar and a water-resistant rubber outsole, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, according to the brand. They also come with a collapsible heel to make taking them on and off easier. They’re available in both men’s and women’s sizes and multiple colors.Le Labo’s viral candles have been all over my timeline lately, and with this set your giftee can dip their toe into the brand’s luxury candle line. The set includes three single-wick candles: Figue 15, Petit Grain 21 and the popular Santal 26, each of which is made with a mixture of high-dose fragrance oils, according to the brand. The candles also come in labeled glass votives that tell you where each candle was poured.A good pajamas set is the cherry on top of any night at home, and this set from Victoria’s Secret is made from a soft flannel that’s perfect for your giftee’s next night in. It includes a long-sleeve, button-up top and a pair of pants with an elastic drawstring, both of which are machine-washable. The set also has a 4.5-star average rating from more than 2,700 shoppers at Victoria’s Secret.With this collection your giftee can get all of Necessaire’s bestsellers at once. The set has three travel-size products, including The Body Wash, The Body Lotion and The Body Serum, all of which are meant to replenish moisture and strengthen your skin, according to the brand. I personally love using Necessaire’s body lotion after a nighttime shower — it’s hydrating and rich yet still lightweight, and the scents linger on my skin long after application. The products are also hypoallergenic, noncomedogenic, and vegan.Silk’s sleep masks are made from high-grade mulberry silk, which is lightweight and gentle on the skin around your eyes, according to the brand. This contoured version is ideal for anyone with longer lashes, lash extensions, or who prefer less pressure around their eyes, since the contour leaves space between the mask and your eyes. The mask also comes in a non-contoured version, which NBC Selected senior editor Nikki Brown says she loves to travel with during long plane rides.If your giftee spends all day on their feet, this is the perfect gift for them to come home to. This foot massager has three preset massage modes, along with adjustable air intensity and heating settings, according to the brand. Its rollers are designed to target the pressure points in your feet for maximum relaxation, so your giftee doesn’t need to go to the spa to enjoy a relaxing treatment — they can do it from their favorite couch. It also has a 15-minute auto-shutoff and detachable, washable foot covers for even more convenience. Best cozy gifts under $200When it comes to sunrise alarm clocks, the Hatch 3 is a hands-down favorite of our staff. It wakes you up with a gradient of colors that moves from red to orange to white before sounding your alarm, and can also be used as a bedside lamp. You can use the Hatch Sleep app to customize your sleep routines, sound and light settings, plus the design makes it a stylish addition to your bedroom. “Since the curved device has a sleek, minimalistic appearance, it practically blends into my bedroom,” says NBC Selected reporter Zoe Malin.This body pillow is covered in soft eucalyptus Tencel lyocell fabric that gives flexible, full-body support. Our NBC Selected editors chose this as the best overall body pillow since it’s both cozy and comfortable, and is versatile enough to cater to a range of sleeping positions and preferences, according to our editors. For example, as a side sleeper, I prefer to keep mine at full length and lie on top. The pillow’s fill is recyclable and BPA-free, while the cover is machine-washable and safe for both pets and kids, according to the brand.This Bed & Bath Award-winner is loved by NBC Selected staff for its size, fit and materials. Malin likes the attached adjustable tie and how comfortable the below-knee length is, calling it “a great all-season robe.” It has unisex sizing and is made from 100% long-staple Turkish cotton. It’s also available in various neutral colors.Cozy nights at home often call for hot beverages, and the right tools to make them. This electric kettle is one of our top picks in the category; It has a temperature control dial that ranges from 135 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit and a toggle that your recipient can activate to keep their kettle at their desired temperature for up to an hour. It also has a sleek, minimalist design that’s sure to get compliments.Gift someone a rejuvenating, at-home spa night with Alo Yoga’s body care products. This set comes with full-size versions of the brand’s Head-to-Toe Glow Oil and Magnesium Reset Spray. I’m a longtime fan of the magnesium reset spray — it’s my go-to treatment for soothing any tension or fatigue in my muscles after a long day or a hard workout, and is an essential part of my evening self-care routine.Best cozy gifts over $200Therabody makes some of the best massage guns, and this mini model is the brand’s most compact and portable offering. Our team loves how easy it is to travel with — NBC commerce studios producer Alexa Arent also likes how the small size lets her target specific body aches. The massage gun has three speeds and head attachments, and also comes with a soft case for carrying and a charging cable.The plush and fluffy design of the Lola Blanket made it an easy favorite of NBC Selected commerce editor Cory Fernandez. It’s made of a stretchy, poly-spandex blend and is available in small, medium, large and XL sizes. NBC Selected commerce editor Mili Godio has three Lola Blankets already, and says it still may not be enough: “I’ve tested a good amount of throw blankets, but Lola takes the crown as the softest and most comfortable one,” she says.Want more from NBC Selected?
