One thing that is an absolute must for these activities (apart from the aforementioned hot chocolate and blankets) are soft comfy clothes. I may on occasion pull on a velour tracksuit (there, I’ve said it) but when lounging in company I like to look half decent, especially during the holidays when unexpected visitors could tap the door at any moment.

So, around about now I tend to update my lounge wear with cosy comfortable items I won’t mind being seen in and that look cute too. One item I am considering investing in is this Kishi supersoft cardy from Figleaves. This wrap comes in grey marl or cream shades, and is knitted in a soft angora mixed yarn and features a wide rib finish. Perfect for draping over just about anything this is perfect nesting wear! You can pick one up from Figleaves for £45.
