Editor’s pickBarefoot Dreams
For the one who claims the sofa
The brand's original lightweight CozyChic knit at 54 by 72 inches, machine washable and made not to shrink or pill. Crimson suits a sofa in December; in our view it is the throw people actually use, not fold away.
Skip it if they prefer natural fibres such as wool or cashmere
