Keeping shoulders warm in night feeds

I'm looking for a gift for a breastfeeding mum of a newborn. She will be feeding in bed (from a next-to-me crib) and I'd like to get her something to keep shoulders warm. A full dressing gown is no good because you have to get out of bed to put it on. Something easy to pop over the shoulders - wondering if there is anything other than a simple blanket. For example something designed for this purpose. Any recommendations welcome.

A shawl?

I used a light wool poncho to keep my shoulders warm. It gave easy access for breastfeeding, was fine to throw in the washing machine and I could also use it out and about as it was smart enough.

Something like this : www.johnlewis.com/jigsaw-wool-cashmere-blend-poncho/camel/p110822230

The shop Seraphine also has lovely maternity things.

I had a lovely cashmere cardi for this. Great thought for a present.

A lovely soft shawl would be lovely

You can also get "bed jackets" which are like a short dressing gown, my mum has one for sitting up reading in bed.
I had a January baby and used to put my dressing gown on to feed at night in bed, so a bed jacket would have been nice actually

A shawl with a popper is good for this.
