Five Must-Haves for Cozy Winter Reading:

Soft Snuggly Blanket
The soft snuggly blanket is a must for year-round coziness. You can use it for reading, you can snuggle under it while watching TV, you can grab it in the middle of the night when you suddenly get cold.
For me, the perfect cozy blanket must be machine washable. Who wants to dry clean a blanket, especially in a pandemic? Also, you might drip or spill snacks or drinks on it, or maybe that’s just me.
Be sure to pick carefully (and read reviews) because you also don’t want a blanket that sheds or pills. (If you have pets, beware of knit blankets as dog and cat nails snag on them!)
I personally love the throw blankets that feel like a cross between fleece and velvet. They are SO soft and they wash and dry beautifully and are pet friendly and pretty indestructible. Here are my picks for the best snuggly soft blankets:
Target usually has a great selection of throw blankets. I love this Primalush one for only $17 – it comes in cream and sage.
On Amazon, I like this one for $22. It comes in pale grey and pale pink, which are so pretty.
If you already have a fuzzy blanket, here’s something else I love: the blanket basket. My favorites come from The Container Store. If you love pastels like I do, I recommend this one! It has a nice smooth weave so it won’t snag your lovely blanket! It’s about 16″ by 13″ and you can just toss your blanket in there when you’re not using it.
