My husband's family is firmly in the pick your own gift camp 
Anyway this year I would love a super nice comfy zippered hoodie. Anyone have favorites?
Eta I live in Phoenix so doesn't need to be crazy heavy duty. Would love one with thumb holes in the sleeves

Lululemon scuba hoodie. I used to find them too heavy but they seem to have revamped them and now I live in mine.

@erinbaderin: how does the fleece do when washed? I was looking at those but they just look like they'll end up pilly

@MamaBear87: I love my North Face one. It's the fuzzy one, I forget what they call it (Ozzo or something?) but it was about $100. I have white. No thumb holes but is has held up perfectly for three years!
ETA: It's the Osito!

@wrkbrk: I've been looking at some north face ones. Good to hear they hold up well

@psw27: @erinbaderin: thanks so much ladies! I've got a Lululemon store nearish so I'll go try on tomorrow

@MamaBear87: I will say mine is really warm! So for AZ it might work as a jacket. (lucky duck! It was 12 here this morning. 
)

@psw27: oh yeah this is my "jacket" lol I seldom have to wear anything heavier. But talk to me in the summer when it's 119 and feels like 125

I got a new one from Uniqlo this season... I didn't want to take it off!

Much appreciate all the suggestions!
I went and tried on some at athleta and at Lululemon and was honestly kinda disappointed with the scuba. Loved the athleta stronger hoodie though so I went with that one. Hopefully it lasts forever

@MamaBear87: I just wanted to say that I LOOOOOOOVE all Athleta clothes. I have clothes from them from years ago that still hold up amazingly well and are my favorites.

@2PeasinaPod: good to hear! It was super soft and nicely cut so that decided me. Although I'm still a little

@2PeasinaPod: i agree with you. i have athleta stuff that has held up so much better than comparable lulu. Also I really like zella, and zella's price points.

@MamaBear87: It is so worth it! Though I know Athleta is having their semi annual sale right now, so you might have been able to get it a tad cheaper now.

@MamaBear87: I was just going to tell you that I have a hoodie from athlete with the thumb holes. I’ve had it for at least 5 years and you can’t tell. It’s in great shape - granted I don’t wear it everyday but I wear it in the fall, winter and early spring for work outs and that time frame it gets washed once a week. I love it and would totally recommend it.

Fellow AZ Mom here! I live in my Uniqlo hoodie. It is lined with the softest fur! The only thing I don't like is how heavy it is, so if I take it off it's a lot of weight to carry around. But if I'm wearing it, it's super cozy!
Honorable mention to North Face. But it's thinner and the inside isn't as soft after a dozen washes.
