    48 Products That’ll Stop Cold-Weather Problems Before They Even Start

    The weather outside is frightful, but these useful products are about to make your life so much more delightful.

    1. A draft-blocker to prevent those pesky drafts from sneaking in beneath your doors or along your baseboards. It'll keep your heat bill down now that you won't have to blast the heater to counteract the chillness that's always seeping into your house.

    2. *Or* an insulated, self-adhesive weatherproof and soundproof strip if a draft is seeping in through the sides of your door and you want to stop that right now. It also helps block noise out!

    3. Or! A window insulation kit because it's super common for cold air to leak in around your windows, especially in old apartments. You'll be amazed at how much warmer your space will be once you install this.

    4. A mini pop-up tent that we admit does look a bit silly but is also the smartest thing you could bring to the sidelines if you're stuck watching your kid's outdoor sports game in the dead of winter. While everyone else is shivering from the wind or drizzle outside, you'll be warm and dry inside your lil tent!

    5. A tub of dog paw wax, which acts as a protective layer for your dog's paws so things like snow and ice won't irritate them. Just apply it on their paws before they head outside, and they'll be prancing along pain-free!

    6. Fleece-lined leggings if you have to head out in freezing temperatures and don't want your legs to be numb 10 minutes in. Once you wear these for the first time, you'll wonder how you ever lived your life in the winter without them.

    7. Or sherpa-lined sweats for an even more comfortable option to keep your legs feeling nice and toasty. Thanks to the tapered leg, these look much more polished than pajama pants, and the lining will make you feel like you're wearing a plush bathrobe. Win, win!

    8. An adorable satin-lined hat so you don't end up with a staticky mess of a hairdo whenever you take your hat off. You can also remove the faux-fur pom-pom at the top!

    9. Or a beanie with a hole for your ponytail (or messy bun) so you don't have to completely re-do your hair just to comfortably wear a beanie that'll keep your ears warm.

    10. A coffee warmer if you tend to get caught up answering emails in the morning and your coffee gets cold before you've even taken a sip. Now your morning java will stay gloriously warm for as long as you need it to.

    11. An extra-moisturizing hand cream that'll repair even the driest, most cracked hands. This stuff starts working literally during the first use, and if you use it regularly, your hands will stay smooth and moisturized all winter long.

    12. A set of waterproof dog booties to keep your dog's paws from getting too cold when they walk on snow or cold pavement. With these on, your dog can confidently roam free and you can relax knowing your dog is protected.

    13. A popular streak-free antifog spray so your glasses will stop fogging up every time you wear a mask. Hooray — now you can protect yourself against the virus and be able to see clearly all winter long!

    A heads up that this works *super* well for some reviewers, but not all — note that this is meant for non-antireflective-coated lenses, and the instructions for use are very specific. To apply, spray a small amount on both sides of your lenses, and use your fingers to rub it across the whole area. Let it sit for a full minute, then wipe with a dry soft cloth. Once they're fully dry, you should be good to go!

    Promising review: "One thing I was super worried about when needing to start wearing face masks per CDC guidelines was my glasses fogging up. I hate contacts and no matter what design of mask I tried, my glasses always ended up foggy. Enter this magical product and it’s a problem no more. I’d happily pay triple what I paid for it. Worth stocking up on!" —Michelle Salemka

    14. A tabletop electric space heater if you live in an apartment and have no control over your radiator, which doesn't seem to be doing its job well enough anyway. Instead of being constantly chilly, this retro-looking space heater will keep your body feeling toasty even if it's frigid outside.

    15. A windshield cover because no one wants to start their mornings in the winter chipping away at the ice on their windshield. Now you can just remove the cover, throw it in your trunk, and get on with your day.

    16. Or a giant snow broom to remove those large chunks of snow that can build up on your car so you're not dumping them on the car behind you on the highway. It's made of foam, so it's very lightweight and won't scratch your car.

    17. An indoor campfire if it's too cold to go outside to roast marshmallows but you still want that cozy feeling making s'mores can bring you.

    18. A value pack of HotHands hand warmers for the days even your best mittens just won't do the job. These are especially great for anyone who has to spend an extended period of time outdoors in the winter.

    19. And to spread the warmth, a HotHands lap warmer to keep your lower half just as warm as your hands. Now you can sit comfortably outside during your little one's soccer game or just lounge on your patio while reading a book, even in mid-January.

    20. Hunter shearling insoles that will instantly turn any of your shoes into a winter-ready option. No more suffering through cold toes!

    21. A paw cleaner to prevent your floor from being covered in wet, muddy footprints when your dog comes inside from walking in the snow. All you have to do is add water, and the gentle silicone bristles remove caked-on dirt and mud.

    22. A draft guard if you have a rather large gap under your front or back doors and need something to keep all that cold air out ASAP. The sturdy design stays in place no matter how many times you open and close your door in a day.

    23. A rechargeable LED pet collar made to keep your dog safe and seen during nighttime walks. You'll be so happy you have this now that the sun starts setting around 5 p.m.

    24. A therapy lamp perfect for anyone who works long hours, which means that during the wintertime, you're probably sitting in darkness for most of your working hours. You'll love how the lamp helps with your energy levels.

    25. Some sinus relief shower steamers if you're someone who pretty much always has a runny nose for the entirety of winter. Drop one of these on the floor of your shower, and once the hot water hits them, the eucalyptus, peppermint, rosemary, and lavender oils in the steam will rise up to help relieve your congestion and open up your nasal passages.

    26. A lip balm so you don't end up dealing with dry, cracked, and bleeding lips all winter long. You might want to order a few of these so you can keep one on your bedside table, one in your purse, and one in the car.

    27. An over-the-door shoe organizer that you can transform into a handy-dandy winter accessories holder. Now you won't have to go digging through your closet to find your gloves, hat and scarf!

    29. A rich moisturizing cream if dry air from the indoor heat is your mortal enemy and you want to avoid all that flaky skin on your face this winter.

    30. A universal plush cover because nothing's worse than having to touch a freezing cold steering wheel every time you drive to work in the morning. Now you can keep your hands feeling ~beary~ warm your whole drive.

    31. A cool-mist humidifier — blasting your heater in the winter can lead to dried-out skin and even nosebleeds. This will help put back some of the moisture in the air so you don't feel like a shriveled-up raisin all the time.

    32. And a genius humidifier tank cleaner to keep your humidifier free of gross buildup so you don't have to wash it as often. Not only does this cute little guy work hard to keep all that dirt and grime away, it's also so fun to watch it swim around the tank!

    33. A pair of wireless sleep headphones that are actually great for running outside in the winter. Now you don't have to choose between warm ears or wearing headphones — with this, you can have the best of both worlds!

    34. A blanket from Rumpl designed to go everywhere you go, such as a brewery that only has outdoor seating. (That's at least where I'd take it!) Built to feel like a sleeping bag, it's packable, insulated and is made out of 100% recycled material. OH! And you can wear it over you like a cape thanks to a front loop closure.

    35. Some insulated snow pants so you can do alll the snowy, winter activities without worrying you'll freeze your buns off. These aren't the bulky snow pants you remember from your youth — you'll look super streamlined and polished even if you're flying down a hill on a tube.

    36. A container of Safe Paw ice melter that doesn't contain any salt and is nontoxic, so you can relax knowing your dog won't get irritated paws or get sick if they eat any of it. It lasts up to 72 hours before you have to reapply it on your driveway!

    37. An extra-large silicone ice tray perfect for freezing large amounts of soup or broth for you to eat later. Everyone knows that wintertime is the official season of soup, so now thanks to this, you can make a huge batch and save it instead of throwing it out and contributing to food waste.

    38. A baby wipe warmer so your baby doesn't get shocked by a cold wipe every time you change their diaper in the winter. Nothing's worse than a cold tushie!

    40. A window AC unit cover to block cold air from trailing in through the vents. This is especially great if you have a permanent window unit and don't even have the option of taking it out in the winter.

    43. A ~washable~ doormat so you don't track in tons of snowy, muddy footprints whenever you come back inside. The best part is you can just toss it in the washing machine whenever it gets dirty!

    46. An adjustable heated mouse pad if your desk is always drafty and you have to constantly warm up your hands.

    47. A pair of spiky ice and snow grips so you can go on some seriously intense winter adventures without worrying you'll slip and fall on ice. Each grip has 19 stainless-steel spikes, which will make you feel extra secure as you tackle an icy mountain hike.

    48. Or a pair of traction cleats you can place over your running shoes so you can actually run outside in the winter. Snow on the ground? You can still get your long run in!

    Now you'll be spending all winter so warm and toasty, you'll be as jolly as a main character in a Hallmark Christmas movie:
