    36 Homey Things To Get Stat Now That We're Entering Hibernating Season

    If you're getting prepared to stay in 24/7, then you'll want to stock up on some of these cozy essentials.

    1. A tablet holder if eating takeout, enjoying a glass of wine, and watching Netflix is at the top of your to-do list most evenings. Now you don't have to wonder where you're going to rest or how you're ever going to hold your tablet...

    Promising review: "I appreciate how flexible this stand is. I can configure it to use in bed whether I'm lying on my back or my side, and I also use it in the kitchen to hold the iPad when I'm cooking and using an online recipe. I particularly like the feature that lets you put the iPad into one of three different angles, and the ability to hold different size devices in both landscape and portrait." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (available in two colors).

    2. An overflow drain cover so enjoying a nice bubble bath doesn't mean only steeping in water up to your belly button. You deserve a nice soak, and this drain cover will ensure an ideal water level you can relax in.

    If you get home after an exhausting day, you deserve a nice bath to relax in!

    Promising review: "I've been using this for over a year now, and it just came up in conversation so it reminded me to add a review. This thing is seriously worth its weight in gold. Our tub is kind of small to begin with, and with the overflow drain I could barely get the water over halfway. For the last year my family has been able to take actual adult baths and it's been wonderful! The little suction cups snap into place easily and it comes off just as easily. It does get some water in it but it's from the faucet splashing into the opening, the water level doesn't change after the faucets are turned off. No discoloration or mildew, it still looks brand new!" —Dani

    Get it on Amazon for $7.79 (available in nine colors).

    3. Sherpa-lined sweats for being totally cozy at all times. Say hello to your new fave "lounge around the house" pants.

    Promising review: "I'm always cold in the Wisconsin winters. These toast me up and are perfect for lounging. So cozy." —Jodi Larson

    Get them from Amazon for $33.98 (available in women sizes XS–XXL and in nine colors).

    4. A set of pinecone-shaped candles to place on literally every available surface in your home for mega ~winter wonderland~ vibes.

    5. An electric heated mattress pad so you can "preheat your bed," turning it into a toasty burrito you'll want to slide into at the end of the day. TBH you'll probs struggle to get up in the morning. *Bonus:* The queen and king sizes have dual controls so if your partner prefers a different temp, it's no problem.

    The cotton cover has 10 heat settings, with an adjustable auto-off timer between one and 12 hours. It is suitable for mattresses up to 15 inches in depth.

    Promising review: "We live in Wisconsin where it gets very cold at night. We like to crack the bedroom windows open at night because we prefer a cold room to sleep in. But this makes getting in bed with freezing cold sheets brutal. Not anymore! This mattress pad is a game changer! Turning the mattress pad on before getting in bed makes all the difference in the world; no more freezing cold sheets. The dual controls are great since I like my side warmer than my husband does his side. The controls are easy to work and see in the dark. The mattress pad is soft and comfortable; you cannot feel the wires at all. It has nice deep pockets that fit on our mattress and memory foam pad very nicely. You will need two outlets to plug into in order for the separate controls to work. One year later…we still love this mattress pad!" —Linda Stranzl

    Get it from Amazon for $69.95+ (available in sizes Twin–California King).

    6. The Comfy — a Shark Tank-famous invention that's essentially a giant blanket sweatshirt. I have one of these and it's quite honestly life changing.

    Promising review: "This is the best thing I've ever bought. I love it, my dog loves it, my friends are envious. It feels like being wrapped up in the best blanket ever. I'm 5'0" and ~2X–3X and this fits perfectly loose. I wish the sleeves were shorter, but I know that I have dinosaur arms and for people with longer arms, it probably fits better. Wish the pocket was lower too, but it's nice and big and I can fit my phone and probably a small child in it. It does attract dog hair, but it brushes right off. Didn't notice any issues with stitching/quality. I know what I'm getting people for Christmas if I run out of ideas." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in one size that fits up to about 4X according to reviewers, styles with or without zippers, and 17 colors/patterns).

    7. An adjustable heated mouse pad because if your home is quite drafty, you'll be glad to own this cute lil' toasty gadget when you spend several hours of your day working.

    This handwarmer mouse pad features three different heat settings and has a built-in timer so you don't have to think "hmmmm did I shut that thing off earlier?" It works with a USB plug.

    Promising review: "I'm a graphic designer so I am at my computer a lot. Unfortunately, I also struggle with chilblains and Raynaud's and find that all my time at the computer doesn't help. This mouse pad warmer has been a huge asset in keeping the pain in my hands at bay. Coupled with arthritis/compression gloves, my pain is nowhere near as bad as it used to be. Yeah, a cute cat isn't my first choice, but trust me, it's worth it for the sake of your cold hands." —Beth Cooper

    Get it from Amazon for $29.98

    8. A pack of weather strips to keep unwanted drafts out while keeping the warmth of your heater in. These also work great for keeping out unpleasant smells — looking at you bathroom... 👀🚽

    Promising review: "I have a brand new all metal door and a patio slider and don't really want to screw anything to either so this was a great option. I was skeptical of the adhesive and figured I would have to reinforce where necessary. But we are a week in with all different weather, literally rain, snow, wind, and this has greatly reduced both drafts!! It was super easy to install and shows no signs of adhesive weakness. I will update if necessary but so far I am really happy!!" —Brittany

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).

    9. A yummy handmade candle that mixes the salty smell of freshly popped popcorn and warm notes of cinnamon and pumpkin. Nothing says "let's have a cozy, warm night in" than a movie and this sweet smelling candle. #COZYVIBES

    Filled with durable shredded foam, this super cushy bean bag ships in a box a fraction of its size and expands to its actual size over time.

    Promising review: "So it's huge!! Like two adults can comfortably lounge in this thing and it’s got extra room. It comes in an airtight plastic bag and will start to rise once that is removed (it takes a day or so). It's so cozy and comfy, I've napped in it twice on accident. I couldn’t help it, I was so relaxed." —Colby Noonkester

    Promising review: "This is the third one I have bought. I just love them. They are well made and heat up quickly. I especially like the flannel ones. They are extra cozy.

    "I. Love. These. Slippers. One of my favorite and best purchases from Amazon. I practically live in these things. Literally, I wear them around the house all the time down to stepping out of them and directly into the shower and even walking my dog in them... My nieces loved them so much I ended up getting them each a pair for Christmas. You will not be disappointed if you purchase. Cute, comfortable, versatile." —Beckybrowneyes85

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 13 colors).

    The design features a fluted, no-drip spout and a degree dial that allows you to set the temperature between 135 and 212 degrees Fahrenheit and even hold it there for a full hour.

    Promising review: "I'm a tea drinker who is getting into Gaiwan-style brewing. I switched to this kettle from a stovetop kettle and am very pleased. The two things I like the most are the temperature control and the temperature hold feature. The kettle feels very solid, and the handle is surprisingly nice in my hand. The base doesn't move around at all on my kitchen counter and it's easy to lift the kettle off and replace it without fumbling. Setting the temperature is dead simple and the entire thing is well thought out." —Michael Calabro

    Get it from Amazon for $165 (available in eight colors).

    14. And a tin of festive tea — the perfect pour to enjoy with a great book or while watching a movie.

    This heater comes with several safety feature: The heater turn off if it tips over or if it overheats, and it shuts off after six hours. It has three adjustable heating modes but many reviewers note that the lowest heating mode is sufficient!

    Promising review: "I needed a little space heater for under my desk at work. Holy smokes! This heater has wonderful output without having a burning smell. I only have to use the low setting and it heats up half the room. My coworkers often comment on how warm it is in my area. I read a lot of reviews before buying this one and I am so glad I did. It is super cute, easy to put together, and a little workhorse!!" —LosParsons

    Get it from Amazon for $31.49 (available in white and black).

    16. A towel warmer for heating up your blankets, robes, pajamas, and towels (of course) so you can feel ~TOASTY~ when you hop out of the shower.

    This warmer is ~pretty~ large and can fit two 40" x 70" towels at once. It heats up in just one minute! 

    Promising review: "So, I am one of those people that usually runs colder than most. I get out of the shower, and am usually FREEZING even with a towel wrapped around me. THIS CHANGED THE GAME!! I put my towel in before my shower (I like 15–20 minutes to heat it), and when I pull it out, it is warm throughout the entire towel and if I leave the lid off after pulling out my towel *I HAVE TURNED OFF THE MACHINE AT THIS POINT* the residual heat helps to heat the room. Since I have gotten this towel warmer, I have recommended it to almost every person in my family. I LOVE IT!! So worth it!!" —Sara

    Get it from Amazon for $113.99+ (available in six colors).
