Gift for elderly lady, aimed at keeping her warm

It's my mum's birthday soon. She is always under dressed for the winter so she is always cold and I want to get her presents that keep her warm. I know she should wear more clothes but for whatever reason she doesn't. She's in her 80s so it's unlikely to change.

She has a heated blanket which we bought her a few years back and she does use it a lot. She also has an electric blanket for her bed. I've bought her gloves but I want more things to keep her warm at home.

I was wondering about a house coat but it would need to be 'stylish' if that's possible.

Has anyone found anything worth getting?

Heat holders do some lovely thermal full zip hoodies. I have the thermal soul warming hoodie in navy. (Image attached) Bought the men's version as I like tops a bit longer.
I have my eye on a gorgeous 1/4 zip top as well.

Wow! So many fabulous suggestions.

She's very lucky she can well afford to heat her house. I might suggest she raises the thermostat. But I think she is definitely picking style over comfort when it comes to clothes and she is a lot more sedentary than she used to be.

I know she is a fan of natural fibres so I'll look into all the merino / cashmere/ wool suggestions. She'll like those.

Really appreciate all your ideas, I've probably got enough gift ideas for years.

Ok if it's a style thing then definitely get her merino long underwear, top and bottom, and then she can wear whatever she likes over the top and still look stylish.
