There's a reason winter marks both the ending and beginning of a calendar year — because it's awesome.
Promising review: "I got short version of this coat in the color 'Caramel' this season and it's quickly becoming one of my faves. My only other puffer I'd had since 2012, and it's already so nice to be able to choose which one I'd like to throw on seeing as it's already getting pretty cold where I live in Michigan. The collar zips up super high so you can protect your face from the cold (a feature I really value since ideally I just like my eyeballs to peek out from my winter gear and nothing else) and it has a removable hood that's also so puffy and warm. The thing about the jacket I'm most impressed with, though, is the hardware. Its shiny buttons and zipper feel so strong and long-lasting, but also look really luxurious. I know I'll be wearing this coat for years and years." —Rachel Dunkel

Promising review: "When I saw The Comfy on Shark Tank I just knew I had to have one. I live near the beach and it is perfect for chilly mornings and cool evenings. I absolutely love mine. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fabric. It feels so luxurious that I want to wear it all the time. I bought myself a navy blue one but I am already thinking of getting a couple more ordered for both my kids. Great product." —Kat

Read our review of these vacuum storage bags (#2 on the list)!
Promising review: "I've been going through and purging items and cleaning and preparing for storage items I'm keeping, pre-moving. I love these bags, they make such a difference and you can easily see what's in there...as opposed to my previous storage bags — trash bags. I've gotten what took three shelves down to one. Can't complain about that." —Samsara

It oscillates between five different colors and has a built-in tea infuser, because real wintertime OGs know *all* warm beverages slap when it's 45 degrees or colder.

Promising review: "It's just the right amount of heat to make it interesting, but not so hot that it'll interfere with other flavors. One of my peeves about spicy versions of normally non-spicy items is that it's often all about the heat but the flavors imparted by the chiles aren't particularly noticeable or interesting. This honey has a great chile FLAVOR to it, in addition to the heat, but it doesn't overwhelm the flavor of the honey at all. I like it on buttered toast and on fried chicken equally well, and this has definitely become a staple 'sauce' for me!" —S. Ferguson

Promising review: "I can't stand bitter coffee, so I need to spice things up somehow! I got these syrups so I can recreate some of my favorite drinks at home and they have been game-changing. They've turned drinking homemade coffee into an experience! The set I chose came with two vanilla syrups, one caramel syrup, and one hazelnut syrup. My favorite is the caramel syrup, but the vanilla one is a close second. All you need is a small teaspoon of this stuff and you're good to go." —Jasmin Suknanan, BuzzFeed Staff

Promising review: "Makes me smile and breathe in good air each time I open my cabinet....I reach for it a lot! Keeps my coffee/tea hot. Whimsical and inspiring! Great service, quick shipping." —Ksglover1

Promising review: "I'm obsessed with this thing. I was skeptical and actually thought maybe it could be a gimmicky kind of thing but man was I wrong. I'm so glad I took the chance. We have a sectional and there's no room for end tables or anything to set my morning coffee on. This is the perfect solution! It is very solid and sturdy and it also works great. I love that it will hold a regular glass as well as my coffee mug." —Schride

Promising review: "I love this stuff soooo much. I have had some rash issues on my fingers ever since I got a full body rash from Downy Unstopables (the worst product ever!!) and had to take prednisone to get rid of it. Ever since I started regularly soaking in the tub with this, I have had hardly any flareups. Something about the ingredients in this particular combination makes my skin sing. Plus, it smells amazing and provides top notch bubbles. Worth every penny."—Sarah

Promising review: "My husband bought this for me because I LOVE taking baths; it's a nice way to relax and unwind after a long day, but I've recently had some health problems which has caused me to lose a lot of weight and taking baths has become excruciating. Due to the lack of extra cushion back there now, lying back on the porcelain tub was extremely painful on my spine/bones, and I had resigned to the fact that I wouldn't be taking baths anymore. But, GOOD NEWS, this pillow is a dream come true. I wish I had always had this pillow. It's soooo comfortable! I could almost nap in the tub (but don't!)." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I do like the adjustable amber tint, but I also really like the ability to invert the colors to white print on a black background. I also am really happy to have buttons to turn the page again. It’s great to be able to just keep your thumb in the button and depress it to turn the page instead of having to actually move your thumb a half inch to touch the screen. All that extra movement add up over the years."—Kindle Customer

Promising review: "I just received this and I LOVE it. It adequately relieved the knots in my neck, the base of my skull, and my legs. I'm going to try my feet also. I've been wanting something like this for quite some time and I'm thrilled with this product. This item definitely delivers. I highly recommend it. The price for this item given the relief provided is wonderful."—Stephanie T.

Promising review: "If you want the smell of a Christmas tree, this is the closest candle I have ever found. When it burns it really does burn the fragrance (unlike cheap candles). I love the smell of this candle, it is refreshing and not too sweet. It is expensive but worth it! So far it has been lasting...last Christmas we would burn it almost all day and all the time and it is not more than maybe a 1/4 gone, if even that!" —Jacqueline Shaw
Get it from Amazon for $32 (available in three sizes).
Promising review: "This color is stunning. It’s a rich creamy dark hunter or racing green. It does NOT appear black with two coats, which I love. It shows up green. Two coats for full coverage. Excellent formula, but did need an initial shake as the yellow and blue components had settled in the shipping process. Totally fine after shaking. This will be perfect for holiday nail art for trees and foliage."—Adubz8888

Promising review: "Bought this as an anniversary present for my boyfriend and he (we) absolutely love it! The care and detail that went into this is amazing! The wood and glass are high-quality and well-packaged and they even included s’mores forks in the kit! So great! Will definitely be purchasing more for gifts in the future!! Keep up the great work!" —April Rojas

This is also particularly helpful for people with limited mobility, whether they're *cool* enough to appreciate the winter or not. (Get it?)
Promising review: “I love this can opener! I have terrible arthritis and have tried many other openers. This one is amazingly easy to operate. Once you place the can just lower the lever and the can opens by itself. The price is very reasonable. I would suggest to the company to advertise for people with arthritis because it sure makes my life a whole lot easier!”—Cape Cod Gramma

Promising review: "This thing is amazing. I was skeptical about buying because all the other reviews had pictures with lighter summery/spring scarves but my collection is mostly winter wear. I wasn’t sure if it would hold all my large blanket scarves, but it does. My grandmother saw it and asked me to order one for her! This was the perfect solution to my organization problem." —Nikolette

Promising review: "Last year, I purchased two pairs for myself and two pairs to give to my grandkids. Worn and washed multiple times and they still look new. Having mobility issues, I ride around my home in a wheelchair and Colorado has some cold winters! These allow me the traction I need to propel around my wood floor and I stay so nice and warm!" —Cactus Gramby

Promising review: "I honestly never even knew this type of device existed. I am so happy I found this and I don’t have to throw away my favorite sweater/jacket. The shaver worked great and went over zippers, seams, and even the little leather loops on it and didn’t damage a thing. This is probably my favorite Amazon purchase ever!" —morningfield

If you think about it, the winter might just be an excuse to wrap ourselves up in blankets for four months. Are all winter-lovers really just blanket-lovers in a toxic relationship with cold and flu season??? The world may never know.
