Christmas gifts: Snuggle collars!

I'm making these for like, eight people this year. I'm calling them snuggle collars - they button shut to make that kind of collar, or can just be a normal scarf.
The outside is this really nice fleece, and the inside is super-plush microfiber. It's so soft. I want to make an entire bed set out of it. The brand is called "Ultra Cuddle Plush," and seriously lives up to its name.
( Here's another one, this time pea green with brown paisley lining. And the collar up. )
Making them is fairly easy in construction, but microfiber plush SHEDS EVERYWHERE. Also, trying to sew buttonholes by hand? Not so easy, but not as bad as I'd thought. And I chose the buttons to match/compliment the fleece. Button shopping is SO MUCH FUN. ZOMG. The one above is for my hippie mother.
Anyway, I'm really happy with how it came out. I might need to make myself one.
SO. SOFT.
