I can wrap my entire body completely around you without ever giving you a single hug or showing any affection.
A winter scarf
The riddle sets up a romantic or social expectation with the word wrap and the concept of an embrace. However, the action is purely utilitarian, designed to protect your neck from biting winds rather than express emotion. Looking past the emotional implication to practical winter clothing reveals the right answer.
