I am the person who is always cold, and I am so sorry about that. I’m the one who borrows jackets and shivers if it’s below 70 degrees. I wish I wasn’t like this, but I am.
And when you ask me “how the heck do you survive the winter?,” my answer is as good as yours. I really have no idea. I have battled through 21 winters, so whatever I’m doing must be working.
I have compiled a list of things you might consider getting for that person in your life who is just too cold to function. We all know one. They’re that person who only uses the AC for two weeks out of the year.
1. An electric blanket.
Hello, it’s a blanket that heats up! You don’t have to waste your precious body heat on warming it yourself. You can even turn it on before you get into bed and you don’t have to worry about cold sheets.
2. Wool socks.
Move over, fuzzy socks. Wool socks are for the true cold people.
3. Sherpa throws.
If you aren’t ready for the commitment of an electric blanket, buy a Sherpa. They are so soft and cozy that you’ll want to carry it around with you forever -- which is why I often have one in my car. I’m a classy gal.
4. Fleece-lined leggings.
If you are a leggings-wearer, these will change your life. They are soft and keep you so warm, but they also make you look like you have your life together.
5. Travel coffee mug.
So you can bring your hot drink with you anywhere.
6. Fuzzy boots.
These ones are from TOMS, so they give a pair of shoes to those who need them. I have two pairs and they save my life when the weather turns against me. If you live in a place where it is wet, you might want to waterproof them.
7. Scarves, hats, and gloves.
A scarf can go a long way. Blanket scarves are incredible because they’re also a blanket! Two birds, one stone, people! A hat is a no-brainer; you have to keep your thoughts warm. Gloves -- duh. Get the ones with the touch technology so you can still Tweet about how cold you are.
8. Footie pajamas.
I wear mine around the house all day. It has a hood, so can you blame me?
9. A fuzzy robe.
Another staple. Mornings are hard; fuzzy robes make them better.
10. Cabin socks.
They’re just fuzzy socks with grips on the bottom. My roommate is obsessed with them now. I’m determined to make them a trend.
