Whenever I’m in need of a gift for my mother, I tend to cycle through the following categories of ideas: gifts for people who love jewelry, gifts for people who always worry, and gifts for people who are cold all the time. My mother could live in a pizza oven and still have a primarily-wool wardrobe; she’s the type of person who brings a sweater to every restaurant and avoids movie theaters like the plague. Being warm and cozy is her favorite, and being cold is one of the worst things ever to her, trumped only by the combination of being cold and wet simultaneously.
Now that I’ve hit the ripe old age of 24, I’m turning into my mother in more ways than one. I cross my legs in the same way she does, and I yell at people for climbing trees, but I’m suddenly also really opposed to feeling chilly. Items for people who are always cold are beginning to look more and more intriguing to me. I currently own several of the items on this list, including an adult onesie and a heated throw blanket, and I can only assume that by the time I hit 30, I’ll have four of each thing on here. If you’re someone who’s always cold no matter what, you should probably follow suit.
1. A Personal Ceramic Heater For Your Desk
Lasko Personal Ceramic Heater, $20, Amazon
This cute little Lasko personal ceramic heater only uses 200 watts, but it heats up your personal space in no time. Because it’s so small and portable, it’s especially great for a desktop or beside your bed, and people say it’s both quiet and stays cool to the touch.
2. This Hot Chocolate Maker For Parties Or Personal Use
Nostalgia Hot Chocolate Maker, $27, Amazon
Someone who’s always cold will never turn down a cup of hot chocolate. This nostalgia hot chocolate maker heats and blends your beverage, and it’s got an easy pour spout. You can also use it for lattes, and mochas, and because it holds multiple servings, it’s great for a party.
3. Heat Your Feet With USB Slippers

5. These Wireless Headphones That Are Also Ear Muffs
NoiseHush Artic Wireless Headphones, $39, Amazon
These NoiseHush wireless headphones give you a clear, loud sound using Bluetooth technology, but they’re also made from suede and wool to keep your ears extra warm. The best part: a built-in microphone, so you can make your hands-free calls especially cozily.
6. This Heated Backrest That Also Massages You
Sharper Image Warming Backrest Massager, $130, Amazon
