What do Oprah Winfrey and I have in common? We both can’t get enough of the season’s hottest (er, warmest) blanket.

If your social media feeds are anything like mine, you’ve likely heard a thing or two about Lola Blankets — a buzzy brand that’s responsible for some of the plushest and most luxe-looking throws I’ve ever seen. Their virality, coupled with a coveted stamp of approval from Oprah’s Favorite Things list, told me, for certain, that I had to get my hands on one ASAP — until I realized I already had.

You see, my best friend actually gifted me a Lola Blanket for Christmas last year — a present that quickly became one of my most prized possessions. But because the brand had yet to blow up online, it took me forever to connect the dots and realize that my ultra-soft blanket (the one I cuddle up in while sleeping, lounging, and working from home) was one of the iconic Lola Blankets. I guess that’s what happens when you have a friend who’s ahead of the curve!

Now that I’ve realized what a gem I’ve been enjoying, I can officially confirm that the internet’s (and Oprah’s!) rave reviews are spot-on: Lola Blankets are the real deal — and they’re currently 55 percent off during a rare sitewide Black Friday sale.

What first struck me was how luxurious the signature blanket looks and feels. Not only does it make my budget-friendly bedding look more high-end when draped over the foot of my bed, but I find that I reach for it more than my comforter while sleeping (which is a major win for my relationship, considering my boyfriend and I used to fight over the covers nightly).

Its double-sided faux fur feels like sleeping in a cloud, and I’ve yet to notice any shedding in nearly a year of use. Its vast color and print offerings are sure to complement different living spaces, and it’s incredibly easy to clean. I just throw it in the washing machine alone in cold water, hang it to dry, and voila! It looks as new as the day I unwrapped it.

Oprah deemed the weighted blanket version her “favorite,” but I think both options are great for holiday gifting. Plus, at prices this good, you can justify picking up one of each. “When they unwrap this, they’ll melt,” she wrote in Oprah Daily. “Plush faux fur that hushes the world the second it’s draped over them — a weighted blanket that feels and looks luxurious and hugs you to sleep.”
