A heated shawl is an easy gift for anyone who is always a little cold. This guide covers who it suits, which option to pick, and how to get it there in time for the holidays. You can see both options in our Heated Shawls & Wraps collection.
Is a heated shawl a good gift?
Yes. A heated shawl is a practical, cozy gift for anyone who feels chilly at a desk, on the couch or outdoors, and it works anywhere with a USB power bank.
Unlike a plug-in heated blanket, a USB heated shawl isn't tied to a wall outlet. The person you give it to can wrap it over their shoulders or lap and move around the house, sit in the car, or take it to a game.
Who is a heated shawl best for?
It suits people who work in cool offices, spend evenings reading or watching TV, go to outdoor games, or simply like extra warmth without turning up the thermostat.
- Remote workers and office workers who sit still for long stretches.
- Sports fans on cold bleachers.
- Readers and movie lovers who want warmth on the couch.
- Travelers and campers who want portable warmth.
It also works well as a group gift or a thoughtful thank-you for a coworker, teacher or neighbor who's always reaching for a sweater.
Should I buy the shawl alone or the kit?
If the person already owns a 5V 2A USB power bank, the shawl alone ($79.99) is enough; if not, the Heated Shawl + Power Bank Kit ($94.99) is ready to wear once the power bank is charged.
The Wearable USB Heated Shawl needs a USB power source to heat. The Heated Shawl + Power Bank Kit adds a compact 12,000 mAh power bank that fits the shawl's hidden inner pocket, so there's nothing extra to buy.
What are the heated shawl's specs?
The shawl measures 59 x 31.5 in, runs on a 5V 2A USB power source, and has 3 heat levels from about 104°F to 140°F.
It's a soft grey wrap, big enough to cover shoulders or a lap, with a 1.5 m USB cable and a hidden pocket for the power bank. One button switches between the 3 heat levels.
How does the person use a heated shawl?
They plug a 5V 2A power bank into the shawl's USB cable, tuck the power bank into the hidden inner pocket, and press the button to pick a heat level.
There's no app or setup. The shawl drapes over the shoulders like a wrap or lies across the lap like a small throw, and the heat setting can be changed at any time with the same button. It's a simple gift that works the day it arrives, especially with the kit.
