Roots Fleece Stadium Blanket

Avoid the cold sting of winter with this ultra-soft fleece blanket from Roots. Made of organic cotton and featuring the brand’s iconic Cooper Beaver logo, this classic salt and pepper blanket is sure to become everyone’s first pick from the pile.

Oui Sherpa Throw Blanket

Whether it’s a pillow, blanket, sweater, or rug, tartan (or any plaid, really) is pretty much a cottage staple. With its vivid greens, blues, yellows and reds, this fluffy sherpa blanket will make a statement all year round. Use it for warmth in the winter, then drape it over a couch or chair during the summer as a design accent.

MacAusland’s Woolen Mills Lap Blanket

Based in P.E.I., this family-owned business has been making authentic, Canadian-made wool blankets since the 1900s. It’s currently the only operational mill in Atlantic Canada that continues to use pure, 100 per cent virgin wool to fashion its products. Seriously soft and non-itchy, a MacAusland’s Woolen Mills blanket is a great gift for any cottager in your life—or yourself! Plus, its high-quality construction means it’ll be in the family for years to come.

Eddie Bauer Packable Synthetic Throw

This is an ideal blanket for cottage living because its lightweight, packable design means it can be easily stuffed inside its carrying pouch and taken anywhere. Bring it down to the dock while you stargaze, or to the firepit to keep you toasty. Plus, the multicoloured geometric pattern brings a fun pop of colour wherever you go.

Pottery Barn Tree Sherpa Throw Blanket

Made of fluffy and soft sherpa on one side and cozy fleece on the other, this tree-patterned blanket is sure to bring a hint of holiday fun to any cottage. Its neutral tones will match any cottage colour scheme, and its exposed stitching brings a rustic feel. No need to tuck this blanket away after the holiday season! Evergreens are always in style at the cottage.

Simons Chenille Cable Knit Throw

This velvety soft cable knit throw will wrap you up in all sorts of cuddly goodness this holiday season. Its chunky embossed stripes and cables mirror that of your favourite sweater, promising warmth, joy, and ultimate comfort.

H&M Wool-Blend Throw

What’s a cottage without a classic red-checked blanket? This modern version features cherry and crimson reds, plus a pop of creamy white—a twist on the usual black and red colourway. Made of a thick woven blend of wool, acrylic, and polyester, this throw blanket is warm, practical, and great for gifting.

Urban Outfitters Checkerboard Super Plush Throw

This blanket brings the fun with its hi-lo checkered design, while its monochromatic colouring keeps it cool and classic. Seriously soft and made of super plush fleece, you’ll stay warm and stylish whether you’re cuddled up on the couch with a morning cup of joe or a delicious evening bevy.

Illbury + Goose Turkish Cotton Throw

This lightweight, 100 per cent organic Turkish cotton throw is a great option for the cottager who is always hot. Another bonus? Products made of Turkish cotton have longer fibers, and are known for being softer, stronger, and smoother than items made with traditional threads. Some manufacturers even say that Turkish cotton becomes more supple the more it’s washed, meaning this blanket will withstand the test of time and become softer in the process. Sounds like a win-win to us!

Benji Sleep Double-Plush Throw

Looking for an oversized, fleecy blanket to keep you warm this holiday season? This ultra-plush blanket, double-layered, reversible throw will do the trick. Plus, this blanket is made of hypoallergenic material, meaning you can sneak your cat or dog in for a good snuggle without worrying about their fur or dander getting stuck inside the blanket’s fibers.
