1. A set of electric logs because they actually produce heat and have a realistic crackle to add to the "nice and cozy" feel you're looking for. We totally get not wanting to leave your house when you've got this guy inside.
Getting a little too hot? Turn the heater off and enjoy the flames and crackling on their own!
Promising review: "So realistic! I absolutely love these logs! I searched through every set on Amazon and online, and finally settled on this set. I am so glad I did! The remote control makes it very easy, and the flames and logs look amazingly real. The crackle of the fire can be turned on or off and can also be adjusted...low/high. It sounds so real, I feel the need to put a fireplace screen up. This is an excellent product. No problems whatsoever. Opened the box and plugged it in. It’s very hard to tell they are not real. It’s soothing, relaxing, and comforting. One of the greatest purchases I’ve ever made." —M Hall
Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in three sizes).
2. A towel warmer so you aren't shivering after a shower or bath. That is literally the opposite of cozy and we can't have that!
It can fit up to two towels and has a 15-minute adjustable timer.
Promising review: "After reading lots of reviews on several different towel warmers, I bought this product for my mom for Christmas. I tested it out before giving it to her. It works great!

I'll definitely be buying a number of sets!" —nemertes

Promising review: "Best thing since sliced bread! I hate when my coffee gets cold. I was originally looking for one of those warming coasters, but then I saw the Ember mugs...there was no turning back. I can take my coffee with me into my bosses office and it still stays hot??

Promising review: "For more than a year, my teenager used a sweatshirt to block noise and cat toys from getting under his door (if a cat toy gets in there, the cat will meow at his door at whatever early hour). With hardwood floors, the sweatshirt would get nasty (collecting dust and cat hair). This product is great. Easy to install, customizable size, does its job, looks tidy, stays where it should be, and the cover is washable. We've had it installed for about a month, and it's holding up well." —B. Hansen

I still don’t have any sort of projector screen so I decided to set it up on a random wall in our home...it still worked fantastic even on a beige textured wall! The picture is very clean, easy to focus, and the speaker actually works quite well if you don’t have an external speaker to connect it to. I love that it’s so small and easy to move, or store if needed. It will be great to use for a movie night in the backyard during the summer!" —Tanner

Promising reviews: "This treadmill is great if you don't have a lot of open space. It runs well and is really cute too. We love the fact that the handle bar can be folded down, so if you don't want the bars on the side you can just fold it down. It's a great feature." —Jon Desimone
"If I could give this 10 stars I would. I LOVE to walk outdoors. During winter, the weather is not conducive...I searched for a SMALL treadmill that would fit in my bedroom but not break the bank. Took a chance of this GEM! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Fits perfectly in bedroom alcove, WORKS VERY WELL. It's made so you can fold and store, and folds easily...

Soooo, to get to the point: yes, this robe is 100% worth it and it has ~earned~ being called a cloud robe. I received the Amber one (a mustard yellow tone) as a Christmas gift a few years ago and it is one of the best robes I've ever owned. For one, the pockets are huge and big enough for my phone, snacks, and my hair ties I constantly lose. Second, it's just really, really comfortable, super soft, lightweight, and very warm! Throwing this on while I make myself a cup of coffee in the mornings is a daily routine of mine. And occasionally putting it on after a shower and wearing it while I apply my face masks is a huuuge step in my self-care routine. If you've been debating on this robe — GET. IT. 👏🏾

Promising review: "Every single tea in this selection is beautiful! I even loved the lemon and orange and I do not like anything of an orange derivative because it always tastes artificial. This was absolutely lovely! The teas are very smooth and mellow, very flavor forward. No overwhelming acidity or bitterness — even if you're like me and forget to take the tea bag out! It's a proper cup of tea for each varietal. It came well packaged in a lovely box that is very giftable. This was a value that well exceeded the price. I HIGHLY recommend this selection of teas! I am ordering more for birthdays and such. And especially more for me! Get this!" —Shonda C.
Get it from Amazon for $12.49.
33. And an electric gooseneck kettle to make preparing hot beverages an effortless and fast task.

Say buh-bye to your old time-sucking stove kettle!
Promising review: "So much to love about this kettle!...THIS Cosori product is sturdy and made well. It looks SO nice sitting out and we love that we can set the water temperature! I drink matcha tea each morning and my husband drinks coffee so filling the kettle, setting the temp is easy and accurate. The kettle beeps three times when the water is heated to your liking and then it shuts off which is nice. The weight of this beauty is very sufficient and the gooseneck pour is elegant and fun. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to get away from the bulky electric hot water kettles and have a great looking product sitting out on your counter." —Chris Baum

DryZzz is a woman-owned small biz founded by two sisters in Miami, Florida. A portion of their proceeds goes to Sofia’s Hope Inc. to fund pediatric cancer research.
Promising review: "The pillowcase is hands down, the best I have ever used! I always take night showers and go to bed with wet hair. I've used a towel over my old pillowcases for years and I always wake up with a damp pillow and the towel on the bed. With this pillowcase, I don't have that problem! The microfiber side absorbs the moisture from my hair and the other side is a nice soft satin for those nights I don't go to bed with wet hair. I will never go back to a normal pillowcase again! I never write product reviews, but I just had to with this product. It was that good! Basically, BUY THIS PILLOWCASE!!!!" —Kristen Chorney

37. An Instant Pot 9-in-1 pressure cooker great for making all of the warm and cozy meals your heart desires — stew, chili, you name it. It features 15 pre-programmed and customizable cooking settings for things as simple as soup or rice, to more complicated ventures like slow cooking and sautéing.
This Instant Pot happens to be a #1 best seller with over 36,000 5-star reviews!
Promising reviews: "I thought the hype was just hype, but this is the kitchen tool I didn't know I would love as much as I do. From frozen to cooked chicken while retaining more moisture than any other method I am used to using." —Amanda T.
"If you're wondering if the hype about instant pots is legit, I'm here to tell you that it IS and you need one. It's really helped me since I frequently forget to thaw meat the night before. Also, being able to throw everything in and have a fantastic white chicken chili come out in less than an hour, is just ideal... It came with a little recipe booklet, as well as a cheat sheet of reference times for cooking, which is hugely helpful, since I don't always want to Google for every single thing I cook. It works as a slow cooker, pressure cooker, has a saute function, can cook rice, make yogurt, steam eggs, and basically anything else you want. It's been helpful for me because I've been able to branch out into different meats that I might not normally have the time or know-how to cook properly. If you're stressed about safety, this is reassuring because the directions are very clear, and it locks in. I was really freaked the first time I used it, and knew nothing about pressure cookers or Instant Pots at all the first day....Anyways, the amount of cupboard space this takes up is worth it, and if we had a bigger kitchen I would leave it out all the time on the counter. I love it THAT much." —emrev
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in three sizes).
38. AND a very handy pressure cooker magnetic cheat sheet set with TONS of useful information like suggested cooking times, liquid ratios, and more. Cooking for a party of any size with an Instant Pot will be so much easier (and faster) with this!

39. A super plush and cozy "dog bed for humans" so you can have the kind of naps your furry family members have. You know, the drooling, tongue out, not-a-sound-will-bother-you kind of nap they ALL have after a hard day of being cute. It's super soft with the faux fur, but the slight firmess of the bed will make it impossible to leave.
Promising review: "I saw this online and decided that I'm giving it a try. I have a hard time sleeping without feeling support around me. I toss and turn over 40 times per night according to my sleep app. I tried this hoping for the best and I will say, I slept like a baby for the first time in seven years. I put a pillow under each side to prop it up to make it cradle in more and I’m in heaven. I'm 57 and have had a hard time dealing with the emptiness of divorce. Who needs a man when you’ve got this to sleep in? Purchase it! You won’t regret it. And best of all, no one snoring next to me! Win, win!" —Heavenstinyangels

40. A hand-poured soy wax candle in the deliciously cozy scent of brown sugar cinnamon. Reviewers say the smell is bold and enticing in person, so be prepared to never want to leave the house!

41. And a vintage-looking dimmable candle warmer perfect for the candle-lover who probably doesn't have room for more (I mean, same here). This warmer will evenly melt their candles — no flame necessary.
🎶 It's me, hi. I'm the impulsive buyer, it's me. 🎶 After seeing this gooorgeous candle warmer online time and time again (and trying to ignore the urge to buy what I absolutely didn't need)...I finally did it, and WOW am I glad I did. This lamp looks even better in person, it's warms all of my candles evenly, and after moving it to my desk, I figured out it can be used as the cutest mug warmer, too! It comes with two compatible 50-watt warming bulbs that melt candles from top to bottom. The dimming feature is also really convenient for both the brightness of the light and for how fast or slow you want your candle to melt! This would definitely be a 12/10 gift.

42. A gaming chair because when it's cold outside, video games become a huge source of entertainment. The comfort of the chair is top-notch, making it a worthy investment even for non-gamers because of its genius ergonomic design, lumbar headrest pillow, 360 swivel, adjustable seat, and AMAZING recline abilities (seriously, reviewers are obsessed with the recline).

Promising review: "The seat is very comfortable, the pillows are perfect, and the lower back pillow does come with a cord to plug-in for massages...[and] it really does lean all the way back LOL. My favorite part is the foot rest! I literally did not want to get up from it. And the color is exactly as pictured.
I use this chair to sit at during work, and I game also, for hours LOL. No complaints so far! I definitely recommend. 🥰" —Nela
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in six colors and two materials).
43. And a pack of super clever PS4 or PS5 controller thumbsticks so games ruined by misclicks are a thing of the past. It may be chilly outside, but these games can undoubtedly cause some sweaty, anxious thumb movements. These sticks will be a lifesaver!
Promising review: "Game-changer for sure! I didn’t believe that these little guys could change the game for me! Since they are so reasonably priced, I figured what the heck and gave them a shot! Wow! Money well spent! I wish I’d found them earlier!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (also available for Xbox and Nintendo Switch controllers).
44. An electric wine opener for quick and easy access, whether the wine is for cooking or for sipping. The modern and sleek design makes it stylish enough to sit right on top of your kitchen counter, too.
Promising review: "Luxurious look. This product has a fancy design and is super quiet! It's easy to use, and within seconds you will have wine ready to pour. Hassle free and a neat way to open bottles of wine. It lights up blue, easy to recharge, and most definitely a good product to give as a gift." —Babi Gendut
