<p id=”par-2_36″>Nicks said that now that she has <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/stevie-nicks-expensive-solution-overpacking-tour.html/”>finished her tour</a>, she has more time for new projects. One of her goals is to start designing blankets, as they’re one of her favorite things to gift friends.</p>
<p id=”par-3_36″>“I like to design blankets. Cashmere blankets are my favorite thing,” she told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/stevie-nicks-fleetwood-mac-kamala-harris-new-music-1235140437/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Rolling Stone</a> in 2024. “That is what I buy for my friends if there’s a special occasion. I bought Travis Kelce a blanket.”</p>

<p id=”par-4_21″>She said she came to love cashmere blankets after a shopping trip with The Eagles’ Don Henley and songwriter J.D. Souther.</p>
<p id=”par-5_49″>“Don Henley and J.D. Souther took me into a store in Los Angeles called Maxfield Blue, now Maxfield, in 1977,” she recalled. “And they took me there, and I got my first cashmere blanket. I always laugh and say, ‘They taught me how to spend money,’ those two guys.”</p>

<p id=”par-6_15″>Nicks briefly dated Henley, and she said he often made <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/stevie-nicks-said-don-henleys-romantic-gestures-freaked-bandmates.html/”>bold and expensive romantic gestures</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-7_92″>“Here’s one thing that Don did that freaked out my band so much: we’re all in Miami,” she said, per the book <em>Gold Dust Woman: The Biography of Stevie Nicks</em> by Stephen Davis. “They’re recording at the gorgeous pink house they’re renting. It’s right on the water, totally romantic. Anyway, he sends a limousine driver to our hotel with a box of presents for me, and they’re delivered right to the breakfast room where everyone’s eating. There’s a stereo, a bunch of cool records. There’s incredible flowers and fruits, a beautiful display.”</p>

Stevie Nicks Admitted She Was ‘Angry’ She Didn’t ‘Say Goodbye’ to Christine McVie </a>

<p id=”par-8_18″>Nicks couldn’t help but cringe a bit. While she liked the gifts, she knew Buckingham would be furious.</p>
<p id=”par-9_43″>“The limousine driver is putting all this out onto the table and I’m going, ‘Oh please … please … this is not going to go down well,’” she said. “And they want to know who this is from. And Lindsey is not happy.”</p>

<p id=”par-10_28″>In recent years, Nicks has <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/stevie-nicks-admitted-hardly-talked-christine-mcvie-death.html/”>mourned the deaths</a> of many of her close friends and musical collaborators. One of these people was Souther, who died in Sept. 2024,</p>
<p id=”par-11_12″>“It’s been a terrible, terrible tragedy,” she said. “And then Kris Kristofferson.”</p>
<p id=”par-12_29″>She said she has begun to worry when her assistant tries to bring her news. She’s not sure if she’ll learn that another one of her friends has died.</p>
<p id=”par-13_58″>“[My assistant] came in to tell me something today. And she goes, ‘So, Stevie…’ Every time she says ‘So, Stevie,’ I go like, ‘Please don’t tell me that somebody else died. I wish you would just come in, say my name, and don’t say “so” before, because it’s starting to set me up for tragedy, because we’re old.’”</p>
