Snoods were also popular for women around the time of the Civil War - reenactors wear them, and you'll find them discussed a lot in stories set around that time (such as Louisa May Alcott stories).
I second the idea for fingerless mitts or a simple scarf. I find that a nice yarn and a simple pattern (seed stitch, moss stitch, ribbing, basketweave) make nice and quick scarves. The trick is choosing a nice color. I made my dad a scarf from Berrocco's Jasper which was both lovely to work with and better yet - he wears it. My dad prefers a shorter scarf that he can tuck inside a coat as opposed to a showy one that you wear over your coat.
