I’m a home shopping editor and this is one of my favorite gifts to give for the holidays

It's a wintertime truism: One can never have too many throws, especially if you work from home and/or are expecting holiday-season guests (particularly the sleepover kind). As for me, Pottery Barn’s Fireside Cozy Sherpa Reversible Throw has become and remained one of my go-to blankets for nesting, hosting and gifting to pretty much everyone in sight. It’s currently on sale for only $39 (a fraction of what you'll pay at many PB competitors) as part of their extended Cyber Monday sale. Read on to learn more about what makes this throw so giftable and covetable. Oh, and it tends to sell out quickly so you’ll want to add to cart stat.

A designer Pottery Barn throw for under $40? Yes, please! This ‘fireside’ staple (aka winter essential) is as thoughtful as it is cozy (shown in Ivory).

Why is it a good deal?

Beautiful blankets don’t come cheap, especially when they're coming from a high-end home brand (I’ve personally seen them as high as $200 or more). This throw was already priced competitively for a very well- and thoughtfully made, ultra-soft throw (more on the details below), and last time I checked it was marked down to only $39, along with a bunch of other deeply discounted comforts, complete with free shipping. Did I mention that this blanket is also reversible? It’s essentially like getting two Pottery Barn throws for the price of (actually less than) one — the perfect bed or sofa companion for you or someone you love.

Why do I need this?

I was introduced to the Pottery Barn Fireside Cozy Sherpa Reversible Throw when I was a home writer for Pottery Barn and therefore immersed in all of the finer product details. It caught my attention for its material (crafted of soft sherpa), versatility (with one side smoother and the other a bit fluffier, you can choose the look and texture depending on your mood) and practicality (unlike many throws, it’s machine washable, so it’s easy to clean — a savior during cold season when things tend to get extra germ-y. Even more, the Pottery Barn Fireside Cozy Sherpa Reversible Throw is responsibly made, with the OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 seal of approval, meaning you don’t have to worry about exposing yourself or you guests to any harsh chemicals.

What nesters are saying

We usually reserve this section for reviewer quotes but since I personally own several Fireside Cozy Sherpa Reversible Throws, I can attest that they are, in fact, incredibly stylish, durable and — as the name suggests — super cozy. They are a staple in my living room and make a great boudoir accessory (they’re the perfect size for the bottom of the bed and can easily fold inside a basket). I enjoy them so much that I got a little out of hand last season and purchased them for my parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, cousins — gifts that were very well received and made endless use of. And, call me sentimental (it is the holidays, after all), but afterward I can rest easy knowing everyone is staying warm and snuggly. As a bonus, this must-have blankie comes pre-bundled in ribbon for no-fuss gifting. Just pop it in a bag or add a bow and give it as is!

FYI: I also own and treasure West Elm's Faux Fur Ombre Throw in Mocha and Faux Fur Brushed Tips Throw in White. Both are equally luxurious faux fur options and both are on sale now.
