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
