This $59 Faux Fur Blanket Feels Like a Designer Throw (for a Fraction of the Cost)

If there’s one universal upside to the longer, darker months of the year, it’s this: Every night presents an opportunity to curl up under a blanket. While we all have various ways of getting cozy — taking a bath, lighting a candle, donning cashmere, and so on — a blanket hits that oh-so-relatable sweet spot between necessity and luxury. And if you’re looking for a blanket that’ll make you feel like you’ve mastered the art of coziness, look no further than this G By G faux fur throw. 

Enveloping and stylish, this blanket will keep you warm and look good draped over your sofa through the presently chilly evenings and beyond. It also makes for a solid investment if you plan on hosting guests for the holidays. You never want loved ones to say your home was too cold during their stay! Plus, it’s 25% off right now for Black Friday, so you can snag it for less than $60.

Knitted from machine-washable polyester to feel plush and warm, the G By G faux fur throw can be thought of as a dupe for far more expensive alternatives. At the 25%-off price of $59.95, this blanket still has a rich and elegant feel that will give calm nights a sophisticated touch. Choose from a deep sapphire, forest green, or dark purple — shades that match the trends of the moment — and the soft finish will bring a warm layer to bedrooms, living rooms, and even breakfast nooks (chilly mornings will be no match). 

If you’re a guest this holiday season and want to ensure that you’ll be comfy during your stay, bring this blanket along as a gift. You can use it as you lounge and snooze, and then give it to your generous host before you go. Since it’s machine washable, they’ll be happy to have it for themselves.

“When I opened the box inside was a beautiful gift box with a bow beautifully wrapped. I was thrilled to see this beautiful presentation. Then I untied the bow [that] opened the box … inside was a beautiful, excellent quality sapphire throw … It looks absolutely stunning on my bed. I highly recommend this stunning faux throw.” —glamma75

“Just received my throw and [I] keep petting it. So soft and cozy! I ordered one for my daughter.” —Mibrniis77

“Came in a very solid lidded blue box that was wrapped in a ribbon. So you really don’t have to do anything if you planned on giving [it] as a gift. Big, beautiful and soft faux fur, great feel. But I will warn anyone who doesn’t want a heavy throw because this is heavy and substantial. But I love that. For me, I consider that to be a plus not just in quality but in comfort. Lay it on top of your bed when you’re sleeping, just as effective as those weighted blankets everyone was buying but much more beautiful and cozy! I got the purple this time and now I went back for the cream one. (for my cats, they love a good faux fur to curl up on too!)” —Bfromiowa
