As the weather gets colder, it's increasingly difficult to get out of bed in the morning! Other than a robe, sometimes a blanket you can wrap yourself in to decrease the initial chill is the perfect tool to make waking up less painful.Brookstone sells a lightweight, versatile, incredibly comfortable microfleece blanket made especially for naps! It's perfect for a throw to leave on the couch and use when watching movies at night, or yes, even for naps--if you take them. It's so warm, yet so light. And it's machine washable (ok in the drier too).
I have a pale blue/gray version of this blanket that was a genius Christmas gift from reality TV company Endemol (complete with a logo patch in the corner) a couple years ago, and it's my favorite household item every winter now.
