These 12 cozy gifts from Walmart are like a warm hug for your favorite homebodies

If sending a stuffed animal for a spin in the microwave sounds cruel or strange, say hello to Warmies. These plushies are filled with natural grains and lavender that retain heat and release a calming scent. They're even Oprah-approved! Choose from 10 styles, including a cat, a hippo and even a sloth.

The easiest way to make any spot more snuggly? A soft throw blanket, of course. This plaid pick is a generous 50 by 60 inches, so your loved one can wrap up like a burrito or share with someone special. It's also machine washable, and shoppers who own it say it keeps its size and shape after going through the laundry.

Twinning with a cup of cocoa — has there ever been anything cuter? This affordable gift set includes a plush sock-slipper hybrid for relaxing around the house and a matching coffee collar. Doesn't your favorite mug deserve a little coziness too?

Why make multiple trips when switching from the sofa in the living room to the chair in the bedroom? This surprisingly stylish wearable blanket means your favorite homebody has two free hands to carry drinks and snacks when they're on the move. (Sometimes, it's the simple things.)

Comfy socks are one of those items that everyone loves but rarely buys for themselves. This plush six-pair set comes in six different color ranges — there's a hue for every cozy reveler on your list, including pink (shown), blue and festive red.

These top-rated suede and faux-fur slippers are equal parts plush and durable. Made with cushioned memory foam insoles, they have nonslip rubber soles that mean they're just fine for quick runs to the mailbox. Choose from five colors, including gray, pink and this classic khaki.

A pajama set is a classic gift. A pajama set this plush, however, is what they really want. This ultra-soft duo features a hooded sweatshirt and joggers in an embossed, oh-so-fuzzy fabric. This will be their new uniform for lounging around or sleeping in on especially bitter winter mornings.

The next best thing to an actual snuggle buddy? This luxe faux fur pillow that offers ample back support. It's available in six colors, and reviewers give it 4.6 out of 5 stars. "I was worried that at this low price, this backrest pillow might not be top quality, but surprise, it's great!" one fan raved. "It's very soft, furry and snuggly."

If you're looking to splurge on a special someone, surprise them with this extra-plush lounger that one Walmart shopper called "the perfect chair." They went on to add, "The color and material is perfection. It's wide and deep and oh so comfy to curl up in with a book." It also comes in wintery white, camel, green and black.

Hot water bottles have lots of other benefits besides feeling amazing on a cold night. This affordable find even comes with a faux fur cover. "This hot water bottle is fantastic!" one buyer commented. "Unlike a regular one, it comes with a plush, fuzzy cover that's incredibly soft and comfortable. The material feels luxurious and keeps the warmth without feeling too hot on the skin."

Help them create a warm, inviting atmosphere with this oversized modern candle. Elegant and sleek, it has a clean scent that combines fresh citrus, azalea, wood, and musk. The impressive 110-hour burn time will see the recipient through many a cozy night at home. 

"I am the queen of taking three sips of my coffee or tea and then walking away from my cup for an hour. Luckily, that's NBD with this self-heating smart mug from Ember that will keep my drink piping hot for as long as I need it."
