Why textile gift ideas boom in December – and why blankets are at the top
Ho, ho, ho – it’s Christmas Time
December is the month of giving, of coziness, and the time for family and friends. While many are looking for meaningful, high-quality, and emotional gifts, the same trend appears every year:
Textile gift ideas are booming.
From cozy blankets to winter bedding, soft fitted sheets, towels, and bathrobes – textiles are at the top of the popularity scale in December.
But why is that? And why are blankets and bedding in particular such perfect gift ideas?
Here are the most important reasons.
1. Warmth & coziness take center stage in December
December is cold, often hectic – and at the same time full of longing for peace, warmth, and comfort.
Textiles meet this need perfectly:
- Blankets provide instant warmth and create a sense of security
- Fluffy winter bedding ensures warm nights
- Fitted sheets made of flannel or jersey offer additional warmth
- Cozy bathrobes make the morning routine more comfortable
- High-quality towels bring a wellness feeling into the bathroom
Textile gifts are therefore not just products, but feel-good experiences that work instantly.
2. Textile gifts are emotional – and at the same time incredibly practical
Hardly any other gift combines emotion and everyday usefulness as well as textiles.
They are:
- personal
- meaningful
- durable
- high-quality
- used every day
A blanket, a bathrobe, or a beautiful winter bedding set always says: “I want you to feel good.”
This emotional message makes textile gift ideas so popular in December.

3. Hygge, Cocooning & Self-Care amplify the trend
In winter, feel-good trends are especially present:
Hygge – coziness, warmth, a sense of security – perfect conditions for blankets & winter bedding.
Cocooning – consciously retreating into your own home.
Self-Care – taking care of yourself – with warm textiles, wellness moments, and little breaks.
Textiles are the key elements of these trends:
- cozy blankets
- soft fitted sheets
- warm flannel bedding
- fluffy bathrobes
- high-quality, soft towels
IBENA offers exactly the products that bring these trends to life.
4. Textile gifts suit everyone – without risk & without stress
A huge advantage in December:
Textiles always fit
Because they are:
- independent of size (except bathrobes)
- age-neutral
- gender-neutral
- suitable for every home
- aesthetic & functional
Particularly popular gift ideas include:
- large cozy blankets
- modern woven blankets
- winter bedding sets
- matching fitted sheets
- premium towels
- fluffy cotton bathrobes
You can hardly go wrong – and still give a very personal gift.

5. Bedding & fitted sheets: the underrated gift stars
Many people think of blankets first when it comes to “textile gift ideas.” But in December, bedding & fitted sheets experience a particularly strong increase in demand. Why?
✔ Winter bedding keeps you warm
Flannel, fleece & jersey store heat and ensure wonderfully cozy nights.
✔ Fitted sheets enhance sleep comfort
Warm sheets feel like an extra, fluffy layer – perfect for cold winter nights.
✔ Sets appear especially high-quality
Bedding + fitted sheet + blanket as a gift makes an elegant complete package.
✔ Ideal as a “bedroom refresh”
Many people use December to make their home winter-ready – including the bed.
Textile gift sets are therefore true bestsellers.
6. Towels & bathrobes: wellness at home
December is also the month for wellness moments and relaxation.
That’s why the following are booming:
- soft, high-quality towels
- fluffy bathrobes
- bathroom gift sets
They convey a feeling of luxury & self-care, are timeless, and used every day.
This emotional message makes textile gift ideas so popular in December.
7. Sustainability is becoming increasingly important – also when it comes to gifting
Many people want to give consciously and sustainably in December.
Textiles are a perfect match for this:
- durable
- washable
- often OEKO-TEX® certified
A high-quality IBENA blanket or an organic fitted sheet is a gift you can feel good about.
