Bloomingdale's Has the Cozy Essentials to Spruce Up Your Home for the Holidays

When we think of the holiday season, traditions, parties, and large gatherings around the table often come to mind first. But this year, a little rest and relaxation is what we're after. Whether it's curling up on the couch to watch holiday movies under a butter-soft blanket, settling in with a good book and cup of tea on a chilly afternoon, or having a friend over for morning coffee, the season can be just as much about enjoying the comforts of home as it is about entertaining. Luckily, Bloomingdale's latest arrivals are full of the cozy home essentials that make a home more inviting for winter.

Whether you're a host preparing for a few guests or the homebody who's happiest spending a quiet evening on the couch, there's plenty here to add to your pre-holiday shopping list. Below, we're rounding up the home additions that embrace the cozy comforts of the season. From plush throw blankets by Hudson Park Collection to coffee and tea essentials from Nespresso and Smeg, and holiday-scented candles from Nest, these seasonal finds make thoughtful gifts for yourself or someone you love.

Butter-Soft Blankets

One of the easiest ways to make a home feel more inviting is to layer in soft, tactile textures. Think a chunky cable-knit throw draped over the back of an armchair or a sumptuous faux fur blanket ready for cozy evenings on the couch. We're particularly taken with the Brookstone Luxe Faux Fur Heated Throw Blanket ($249), which proves that practical comforts can be every bit as elegant as they are cozy.

Tea Time Essentials

Few things feel more special than catching up with friends over coffee or tea during the holiday break. Bloomingdale’s exceptional selection of elegant ceramics and considered kitchen appliances helps make these everyday rituals feel a little more luxurious, whether you’re hosting a leisurely morning or enjoying a quiet afternoon together.

Gift Ideas

While you are sprucing up your home, check a few things off your gifting list too. For a hosting gift, we recommend these Nest candles that blend notes of pine, birchwood, pomegranate, orange, and warming spices. For a larger gift option, always go for luggage or travel essentials.
