‘Makes me look thinner’: This cozy shawl is so giftable, and it’s down to $20

Need a head-turning gift for that stylish someone on your list, but you aren’t quite sure of their size? Want to give them something warm and cozy that’s not yet another throw blanket? Good news: You don’t need to resort to putting fuzzy socks in their stocking this year. Win the holidays with the one-size-fits-all Bestshe Open Front Poncho, a cozy-chic shawl that’s like a wearable hug. Right now, it’s just $20 at Amazon, down from $30.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

It’s hard to beat $20 for an item this wearable and giftable — heck, it’d still be a bargain at its normal $30. It doesn’t go on sale very often, and we expect the price to go up as the temperatures continue to go down.

Why do I need this? 🤔

When a cardigan feels too boring and a coat feels like overkill, fear not, Goldilocks: the Bestshe Open Front Poncho is juuuuuust right. Without buttons or ties, this piece has a flowy fit that gives you an extra layer of stylish warmth without adding bulk. The cotton-polyester blend makes it super-soft, lightweight and luxuriously comfy. One size fits all, but there are over 25 styles and colors to choose from.

What reviewers say 💬

More than 1,700 five-star fans are already feeling snug as a bug under this shawl.

Pro 👍

“I am 5’7″ and 240 — used to weigh half this — and I swear this makes me look thinner!” gushed a five-star fan. “I absolutely love it right out of the bag. … I may go buy three more just because I’ve never loved anything online so much!”

“The color is beautiful and it’s baby soft!” wrote another rave reviewer. “It’s oversized, but not huge, long enough to cover for warmth, but not super thick or overwhelming. If I didn’t know better, I would think it was cashmere, very pretty shawl.”

“So soft and comfortable,” another savvy shopper shared. “Not heavy, very soft and warm, nice to snuggle on the couch. I don’t like a coat for short distances in the car plus this will be awesome for church when it is just a little cool inside.”

“Had shoulder surgery the beginning of winter,” said this on-the-mend fan. “I’m a big girl and was worried I wouldn’t find anything that would work. This is a very nice size, warm and so soft. I could sleep in it.”

Cons 👎

A handful of shoppers highlighted one particular quirk.

“This is so cute, and when I wear it, I get a lot of compliments!” shared a shopper. “The only drawback is the ‘fuzzies’ it leaves behind, but not worth taking a star away!”

“Keeps my arms warm and doesn’t get in the way of anything I am trying to do,” a final reviewer wrote. “The only thing I’m not crazy about is that all these little fuzzies are starting to show up on my clothes.”
