Guest Blogger Lynne M. Favreau is back again this year, with the first of two posts on cozy gifts. What I really like about these? Most are made by artisans or do something good in the making of them.
We start with gifts for her!

Head to toe, here
are the warm, soft, cuddly, and cozy things for giving and getting this year.
Wool
Runners
Most
comfortable sneaker ever? Lightweight, breathable, and their merino wool is “ZQ-certified, which means it
meets stringent standards of sustainable farming and animal welfare.” Find them at AllBirds.com for $95. (They have them for men too!) Editors TIP: You can read more about their story HERE.
Blanket
Scarf
I appreciate this scarf as
a lap blankets since I sit at a computer for hours. I love the size and plum
color of this 100% wool scarf. It comes
in beige light, blue, and black/grey also. You can get it, and other cozy things at & Other Stories. $85 Editors TIP: Check out the sale tab while you're there.
Flower Cloche Hat
A
punch of color brightens up a snowy day. This boiled wool hat comes in 6
colors (shown: Berry). Only $28! At Kohls!
Fingerless Gloves
Fingerless gloves are
great for those who type for hours on end, or need to use a tablet or phone
outside. These help keep my arthritic hands warm. You can find these @PrettyCrochetForYou, but you can also just go to ETSY.com and plug in fingerless gloves to the search to see a really wide variety of choices. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL ARTISTS!

A Nice Hot Cup O’Tea
Adagio Teas, come in a
wide variety of mixtures and themed collections. I have not been disappointed
in the dozens of blends I’ve tried. Nothing warms me, comforts me, or calms me
ad well as a “nice hot cup of tea.”
