The New York Times - The best slippers

The combination of excellent prints, toasty comfort, and machine-washability made us fall in love with the Sackcloth & Ashes Throw Blanket during our testing. It feels fantastic wrapped around your shoulders on a brisk morning. (Plus, with each purchase, the company donates a blanket to a homeless shelter.)

We found it on sale here for $60→

These maraschino cherries would be a great stocking stuffer for adults. They’ve been made in Italy for over 100 years, and we think they could seriously elevate anyone’s cocktail game. The syrup itself can be used as a sweetener in cocktails, like a Manhattan or a sour cherry gin fizz.
