Let's got a fleece-lined hood and six big pockets, it's windproof, and it's just friggin' cute! You'll be warm and on-trend. Promising review:"This coat is no joke. The coldest temperature I tested it out was 9 degrees, and I did not feel like I was freezing at all! I even tried to wear with just a T-shirt, no sweaters/layers underneath, to see if I felt No cold! Boomshakalaka! It's also so stylish, roomy, has a thousand pockets (goodbye purse!), and looks different from all the rest out there." — Zhure Get it from Amazon for $125.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–5XL and in 12 colors). Check our out Orolay down jacket review to learn more! 2. A reparative O'Keeffe's night lip treatment you should apply before bed if the cold has caused your lips to crack! It's formulated with beeswax and shea butter to help you wake up to refreshed and moisturized lips. Promising review: "When I travel, my lips get so chapped! It's painful. I found this product when I searched for something for extremely chapped lips. I've used other O'Keeffe's products, so I trusted the brand. I used this as directed in the morning and before bed, and my lips healed faster than ever. Also, on the next trip I went on, I took it with me and used it daily. My lips stayed healthy and didn't get chapped at all. This stuff is magic, and I won't go anywhere without it now." — Anna C. Adams Get it from Amazon for $8.60. 3. A pack of spiced tea bags so you can easily make warming hot toddies, mulled wine, or apple cider right at home. Just add to your (alcoholic) beverage of choice and enjoy! Amazon These tea bags are sugar- and caffeine-free! Olde Tradition Spice is a small business! Promising review:"What a treat on a cold day. Use it in juice, water, cider, or wine. Delicious." — Carol Get a pack of eight from Olde Tradition Spice for $11.99+ (also available in a pack of 24). 4. A self-heating mug to keep you from having to microwave the same cup of coffee a million times because it's so cold outside that your drink keeps practically freezing over. This mug has three temperature settings and a long-lasting battery to keep you sipping that perfectly warmed beverage for hours. This comes with a lid and a charging base. Promising review:"If you like to walk away from your hot beverage and keep coming back to a hot cup, this is for you. I love that it is portable, and I don't have to keep it on a warming plate. It can go outside on my deck. And I love that it has three heating options!!" — Cheryl M. Get it from Amazon for $99.95+ (available in 10 colors). 5. A baby-wipe warmer if your little one has made it known that they are not a fan of a cold wipe on their bottom. It's even got a night-light feature that has a 10-minute auto shutoff. Promising review:"I love this thing. I'm SO glad I got it. My child is 2 months old, and we've been using it since we got home, and there's been zero mold. It's super easy to fill and holds a whole pack of wipes. It has a nice long cord as well as a little light, and it locks on the sides of the bottom lid to keep it down when pulling out wipes. Now, when I use cold wipes in the daytime, they bother my hands because I'm used to warm wipes, so I can't imagine how nice it is for my little one to have them warmed up. It heats up only on the top of the lockable portion of the warmer. Not too hot, not too cold, and no little hands can get into it as long as it's locked. The only issue (which isn't huge) that I've run into is that when the wipes get low, the inside gets pretty hot. This is fixed as soon as it's filled again. I was so indecisive on this issue, and I'm so glad I decided to splurge." — BR Get it from Amazon for $29.97. 6. A checkered electric heated pet pad — find your kitty's favorite of 11 temperature settings. Its cover is also machine-washable and its cord is chew-resistant. Your furry friend will be so comfy in their new bed that you'll be able to keep your bed all to yourself. Promising review:"This has been a fantastic addition to our home. Its size is perfect for cats and smaller dogs, providing a cozy and warm spot for them to relax. The adjustable temperature feature is great, as it allows me to set it to my cat's preferred range of 85–90 degrees. Any hotter, and my cat tends to move away, so it's nice to have the flexibility to adjust it to their comfort level. One unexpected benefit is that it helps keep my cat off my laptop while I'm trying to work, which has been a huge plus! The washable cover is easy to clean, making maintenance a breeze. Overall, this heating pad has made a noticeable difference in my cat's comfort and my productivity. Highly recommended!" — Salty Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors). 7. A portable oscillating space heater with an adjustable thermostat to keep you warm as you sit by your window and watch the snow fall. This energy-efficient heater not only gets hot super fast but is also super quiet. Promising review: "Firstly, this heater puts out a tremendous amount of heat. I got this for a room that doesn't have a door, so I didn't expect it to heat the space that well. Surprisingly, this heater not only makes the entire space comfy, but the adjacent hall to the room manages to get warm from this heater as well. It's also incredibly quiet. It's the quietest heater I've had for this space, and I've had a few different ones in this space. It's also so sleek. It looks high-tech while not requiring a lot of space or tech know-how. Plug it in and either push power on the remote or power on the actual device, and you're ready to go. It has three modes and yes, I can tell the difference between low and high heat output. The timer is wonderful. And the remote is serviceable enough to be useful." — L. Thornhill Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in two colors). 8. Or a Shark air purifier and heater that not only provides heat but also filters out 99.98% of large, small, and micro-sized particles like smog, toxins, and smoke. This can also work as a fan in warmer months. Promising review:"I slept so well. I woke up feeling refreshed and with no headache for the first time in a long time. It was on all night, and it stayed warm in my home; I didn't have to turn my heater on in the morning like I usually do since the temperatures have been in the low 30s. It is fantastic!" — Sandy Get it from Amazon for $189.99+ (available in two colors). 9. A pair of faux fur-lined rain boots because it's no longer enough for waterproof shoes to just keep your feet dry; they must also keep your feet warm. And these Chelsea booties definitely fit the bill! Promising review: "I bought these to wear on an Alaska cruise since it rains a lot. I hate my feet to be cold and wet. These worked great and were very warm and comfortable. My feet never got wet or cold while hiking in the rain or walking around on the deck, even when it was cold and rainy. I didn't wear them ahead of time to break them in, and they never caused any issues." — Tammie Self Get them from Amazon for $35.23+ (available in sizes women's sizes 5–11 and six colors). 10. Or a pair of waterproof slip-on snow boots if you don't have time to deal with shoelaces when your pup is itching to go out and do their business in the winter snow. Just slide these warm boots on, and you're good to go! Promising review:"I wore these for a week every day while traveling in Oregon. We encountered some snow while hiking around, but my feet never got cold or wet from the snow." — L Get it from Amazon for $26.98+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and in five colors). 11. A microwavable cat-shaped heating pad that you'll want to cuddle up with on chilly nights. And you can also use it to help relieve period cramps, body aches, and pain. The cover is machine washable. Promising review: "What a face! So darn cute. The fabric is very soft. The size is puuurfekt. It's sewed so expertly that I'm impressed, right out of the box (which is pretty enough not to need any gift wrap if you might want to send it). And it's weighted just right. I don't plan to use it as a heating pad, but as a comfy hug-me when I need a herbal-infused soother. The scent is light but earthy and refreshing. Very cute!!" — J. E. Nelson Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 12. A pair of fleece-lined leggings — stay warm and cozy all winter long. These comfy thermal leggings are perfect for your morning runs, long and chilly plane rides, and just lounging around the house. And it's got Promising review:"I was looking for some comfy, breathable, and warm leggings for traveling. Bought two others with higher reviews, and these beat them hands-down on quality and fit. Bought my usual size, and they fit beautifully. Comparable to luxury brands without the price!" — Keri A Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 13 colors). 13. A boot dryer and warmer because you don't have time to wait for your boots to thaw from yesterday's snowy excursion; you have things to do and people to see! This device silently warms the air that rises into the boots so they dry more quickly. Promising review:"I was skeptical about the 'no moving parts' thing, and also concerned for energy usage because I'm a cheapskate when it comes to that electric bill. But some sorcery allows for this thing to have no moving parts, low energy consumption, AND the boots are hot in the morning. No more wet toes before I even leave the house. I read a lot of reviews of people whining about not having an on/off switch or having to unplug it to turn it off. I thought it was a legitimate concern before purchasing, but I have now determined that it was just whining. I have two pairs of boots anyway so there's always one pair on it. Pleased with purchase." — Public name (required) Get it from Amazon for $49.95. 14. A rechargeable hand warmer to keep your hands nice and cozy if you're worried that they won't survive the lower temperatures. And with three heating levels, it can be customized to your comfort! Promising review:"My husband and I go to Colorado every winter and when I found these, they became a game changer. They are so helpful, especially on the mountain skiing or when we went snowmobiling. I didn't have any trouble with the battery lasting and I would just recharge at the end of each day! I'll never suffer through the cold elements again without it!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in nine colors/patterns). 15. A bath overflow drain cover if you've been dreaming of dunking your entire body into a warming bath but know that your tub can't handle more than a few inches of water because of that dang drain! This cover's suction cup and power grip help ensure an ultra-tight seal, so go ahead and fill that tub up! Amazon Promising review:"I have a high-stress job, and I've started taking baths as a way to unwind. However, it never seemed like I could keep enough water in the tub to really enjoy it. This little thing makes a HUGE difference!! I get at least an extra three inches of water and it is great." — Hyacinthe Snyder Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in nine colors). 16. A pack of four outdoor faucet covers that'll help protect your faucets from the elements this winter. Because a frozen or burst pipe is not something you wanna deal with. Like, ever. Promising review: "We bought these to cover our outdoor faucets in lieu of the styrofoam option. Not only are they super easy to install, but they worked perfectly and withstood anything the winter weather threw at us." — Carissa Eaton Get a four-pack from Amazon for $18.99. 17. A pair of comfy-cozy fleece-lined Crocs because your regular-degular Crocs are not super great at keeping your feet warm but you're still determined to rep Crocs all year long. Get ready for a snug fit that conforms to your feet and keeps your toes toasty! Promising reviews: "I love my lined Crocs. I hate having cold feet, so these come in handy." — Maria Moya "I admit it: I was a Crocs hater for a while, but these absolutely converted me. I wear them everywhere! So comfortable, easy to slip on, and warm with the fur. Will be getting some more Crocs soon." — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in women's sizes 4–17/men's sizes 2–15 and 35 colors). And if you're more into fur than fleece, Crocs makes faux fur–lined platform Crocs, too! 18. A Levoit humidifier whose large 6-liter tank is perfect for helping humidify large rooms because maybe you'll breathe a little easier this winter with more moisture in the air. Plus, it's super quiet, so you can WFH during the day and sleep through the night in silence. BuzzFeed writer Melanie Aman has this humidifier and swears by it: "When I moved to NYC, the winters absolutely destroyed me, and I dealt with dry, flaky skin and constant nose bleeds. I knew I needed to get a humidifier, so I bought the first one I found on Amazon, and it I hated how hard it was to clean. So, I bought another humidifier. And then another humidifier. But every humidifier I bought was just soooo hard to clean. They all had nooks and crannies — or even unreachable surfaces — that got moldy fast and required a lot of contorting of my wrist to wipe down with a sponge. I also hated having to refill the water tank every day. So, I went searching for a humidifier that was easy to clean and had a big water tank. This bad boy ticks all the boxes for me, and the app features are fantastic. You can set the target humidity in a space, and the humidifier will run until it reaches the threshold, which it will then maintain. It also has schedule and timer features, but I don't use those since I work from home and have the humidifier running basically 24/7. There's even a plant identifier feature that will set the humidity at the optimal level for whatever plants you have." Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in two styles and colors). 19. A window insulator kit if you need help lowering your energy costs this winter. This crystal-clear film heat shrinks to seal out drafts so you can enjoy a toasty home this season. Promising review:"I buy this every winter, and it makes a BIG difference! We have super-thin windows, and this works like a charm to stop 80% of the cold drafts. I find I can sit right next to the window without a problem after installing them. It's easy to install and looks invisible after you apply heat with a hair dryer. No one will be able to tell there's a film, and it'll look completely transparent after you apply heat. It was so satisfying to see the wrinkles disappear! It looks great, works great, and will save you energy! Win-win win!" — Raymond Get a five-window kit from Amazon for $21.49 (also available in a 10-window kit). 20. A magnetic insulated door curtain to stop winter's cold winds from making their way through your closed front door. This thermal and weatherproof cover can also be used on basement and garage doors. Now, you can actually feel the warmth your radiator's been emitting. Promising review: "I needed something to help with the amount of cold air that would come into the house every time our front door was opened. Winters in Alaska can be brutal, and our arctic entryway is not heated. Since I hung the thermal curtain, I have noticed a huge difference! Perfect length, great material, super strong magnets…almost too strong. They close on their own every time. Would recommend." — Laroberts907 Get it from Amazon for $39.98+ (available in a variety of sizes and three colors). 21. And an attic stairway insulation cover because the shiver going up your spine isn't because your attic is creepy as heck; it's because there's cold air escaping from it. OK, maybe your attic is also creepy. But this easy-to-install cover might just help you save on your energy bills. Promising review: "Beautifully made!! Came in a small box, and I was dubious. Unfolded it and realized how wonderfully it fit. The trickiest part was the stapler. It took less than five minutes to staple and make secure. Immediately noticed less cold and less noise!! Wish I had done this simple task years ago." — CC BBQer Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available with or without a staple gun). 22. A plush, double-sided shaggy faux-fur duvet set so warm, you'll have absolutely zero reasons to complain about the dropping temps! And since one side is faux fur and the other side is velvet, you'll be cozy no matter which one you choose. Amazon Promising review:"If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I'd grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it, and it's seriously so cozy and well-made. My only complaint would be how hard this thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It's incredibly soft and isn't the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things, so I'm here to tell you — if you're on the fence about buying it!!" — Sk Get it from Amazon for $51.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and 32 colors). You can also check out our picks for the best duvet covers on Amazon. 23. A wool blend knit hood if your fave coat doesn't have a hood, or maybe it does, but it's just not doing enough to keep you warm. Reviewers even say how easy it is to layer under/over clothes. Promising review: "I love this!!! I am from Georgia and was planning a trip to Indiana. I am not used to the cold weather. I hate to be cold. One thing on our agenda was ice skating, and I was worried about staying warm on the ice. I do not like hats on my head. This was so convenient. It worked as a scarf and hat. It was warm. It was soft. It did not cause static, either. And it looks good on." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in eight colors). 24. A quick-heating stainless-steel electric kettle that'll get a lot of use if wintertime means tea, cocoa, and abandoning your cold brew for a hot pour-over coffee. Its charming precision-pour spout means you'll get the perfect amount of hot water. Every. Time. Promising review:"We were searching for a new kettle that would meet our needs, and this one fits the bill perfectly. My wife uses it to heat water for French press coffee, and I use it for pour-over coffee. The temperature settings would work great for tea as well. I love the hold feature so I can keep the temp constant while making pour-over. The spout works great and gives me excellent control over flow and location. It also looks sharp on the counter! We use it every day, and we are very happy with our purchase." — Steven Baker Get it from Amazon for $69.99. 25. A pair of slip-on, microwaveable slipper boots because your freezing feet are begging for relief. Just pop them in the microwave for up to 90 seconds. Oh, and they're lavender-scented for a little aromatherapy! 26. An adjustable window AC unit cover to protect you from the wintry winds that will try to blow through your unit's vent. Its embedded cotton also prevents warm air from escaping your home and venturing into the wild. Just be sure to check the size of the cover against the size of your AC unit! Promising review:"I love it. I put it on, and then, in probably a half hour, I could notice the change in the room. That breeze was gone." — DA-BIGGUY Get it from Amazon for $17.59+ (available in three sizes and in black and white). 27. A set of four self-adhesive shower curtain clips since one of the worst things about winter is the cold air ruining what would otherwise be a scalding hot shower. Protect your steam with these clips! They'll also help keep water from splashing onto your bathroom floor. Amazon Promising review:"These are awesome shower clips! They keep the water from getting on the floor, and they keep the cold air out. They were super easy to install." — Ben P Get the pack of four on Amazon for $7.99 (also available in a pack of eight).
