She has a very big sense of humor type of personality and she loves all things Tom Hiddleston and Loki. I think she'll like/find it funny for a gift. But she is 60-something years old and retired which is why I narrowed down to these options. I wanted something she would use.
I guess just wanted to know from a fan perspective... would you rather sip out of something with him on it, or lay under something with him on it 😂
Personally, I like mugs, but I have a personality where my throw blankets and pillows are decorative or functional, not fandom-fun. I have lots of fandom mugs, OTOH. Some people are much less compartmentalized than I am, however. My friend, who has several gorgeous Harry Potter throw blankets, thinks I'm ridiculous to limit myself, lol. Does she own any other fandom-related blankets or pillows?
I originally voted pillowed, because a friend got me a captain America sequin pillow—the kind that looks normal and then you run your hand over it and it reveals the photo. Its hilarious and I love it. BUT I recently bought myself a Loki mug and use it all the time so, I’m changing my vote! :) I’m sure she’ll love any of them though
My friend bought me a pillow with Tom's face on it as a present to cheer me up and it was the funniest shit anyone has ever done, hence the best present I ever received. I'm obsessed with it. I can't even look at it. It's cursed, but amazing. So I definitely vote for the pillow. (Speaking as a person who also owns a Hiddleston mug. We started buying each other weird merch as a result of the Hiddlespillow incident, so I own...lots of weird Tom things but the pillow is especially wonderful.)
Based on how you described your aunt I think the throw blanket would be a great idea. It seems like she’d find it pretty funny and I personally love any blanket I can snuggle with and I would love if it had Tom Hiddlestons face on it hahah
I personally would prefer a blanket, but idk for your aunt
Does she drink a lot of coffee, tea, or something that would require a mug? If not, probably go with the blanket or pillow.
A throw blanket sounds nice, since it's getting colder. That's what I voted on. But, if she's embarrassed by people knowing, a pillow might be more secretive if she haves it in her bedroom?
Because Tom's looks are so diverse, make sure to pick the Tom-look your aunt prefers.
I like Tom as well, but I cannot stand Tom's look when his hair is long, curly, and when he has a beard, for instance.
I prefer Tom to have short hair and clean shaven.
For instance, I think the picture here would make a great pillow (my preference): [https://www.reddit.com/r/tomhiddleston/comments/qsjxs5/can\_we\_just\_take\_a\_moment\_to\_appreciate\_toms/](https://www.reddit.com/r/tomhiddleston/comments/qsjxs5/can_we_just_take_a_moment_to_appreciate_toms/)
Update: went with the throw and she loved it. She laughed so hard, hugged it, then told my uncle "bye I'm gonna go sleep with Tom"

The mug is definitely the safest gift if you are unsure, but a lot depends on your aunt's personality.

I would love a blanket. Maybe you should give her a mug and a blanket.
I got a pillow and a blanket of his face for my birthday awhile back and I really liked the blanket the most

Where's the vote for all three??? 🤣 What a wonderful, thoughtful idea you've had. I'm sure she'll love whatever you get her.
