Promising review: "Saw this hat on TikTok and decided to place my order! It can get very cold where I live, especially during morning time when I’m walking my dog. I need to keep my ears warm! The material is so soft, and there are many color options." —MHF

2. A set of oh-so-toasty but breathable winter socks in a wool cotton blend so cozy that you'll rotate between the cute colors all winter long.
Promising review: "Love them! They are so warm. I am cold every month of the year. My feet stay blue. Not with these. They are warm, look good, and feel good. I can wear them with a low-cut shoe. I’ve washed them in the machine and hung them up to dry. No problem. Highly recommend for those of us with perennial cold feet." —Frances

Bonus: it comes in a zillion colors, so when you fall in love with your first pair you can collect the rest and have a cozy leggings rainbow!
Promising review: "These are so warm but still so sleek! Totally opaque, long inseam, buttery soft, and they've got pockets! I machine wash them in cold water and then hang them to dry. I have two pairs in black and I wear the heck out of them. Worth every penny." —Cassandra
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3X, three styles, and 20 colors).
4. *And* sheer black Melanin Fleece Tights inspired by the viral "translucent" fleece tights that blew up TikTok in 2022, except these are inclusive for darker skin tones and made with high quality stretchy, rip-resistant material so they're built to last.
Melanin Fleece Tights is a Black-owned small business established in 2023 that specializes in inclusive fleece-lined tights.
Promising review: "Took these tights on a trip to Europe where the average temp was in the 40s. These tights kept me so warm for and I loved the flesh tone and how it matched my skin so perfectly. They are very soft and thick. I would buy these tights over and over for the fall and winter!" —Brejhe Halls
Get them from Melanin Fleece Tights for $33.95 (originally $59.95; available in women's sizes S–3X and three shades).
5. And for workouts, fleece-lined "Crash Tight" leggings so darn insulating that you'll be like, "Cold? Never heard of her." Reviewers love these not just for the comfort and warmth, but for staying PUT whether they're running, hiking, biking, or dancing to the beat of their own (freezing!!) drums.
Title Nine is a California-based, woman-run small business established in 1989 that specializes in outdoor apparel.
Promising review: "Legit cold killer. I've worn these x-country skiing on -20-degree days as a base layer and always have the pleasure of sweating. They've been perfect on their own for runs or ice skating on more typically cold (15-degree) days. I get coldest sitting still, however, and often wear these as a base layer while writing, and they save the work day!" —Kathryn
Get it from Title Nine for $99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL, petite sizes, and five colors).
6. A rechargeable magnetic phone charger/hand warmer set — like, honestly, I'm a little in love with how clever and CUTE this is? The two pieces magnetize together to warm your hands or separate to put one in each pocket, and you can *also* use those same two pieces to charge two phones at once. Basically a must-have for anyone going on couple adventures.
Check out a TikTok of the hand warmer/phone charger in action.
It has four warmth settings, so you can pick one that's perfect for the conditions, too!
I have been using these for two winters now, and once it hits November, I simply never leave the house without them. They heat up instantly, and unlike bulkier hand warmers, slide easily and subtly into any of my jacket pockets. They fit neatly in the palm of my hand, and the warmth radiates and genuinely makes a difference in regulating my entire body (I am a big, BIG baby about the cold). The heat settings are super easy to change, they recharge efficiently within an hour, and I always feel like a handy little wizard when I can pull them out in a pinch if a friend's phone is dying and they need some extra charge to keep it alive. I cannot recommend this enough!
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in four colors).
7. Or if you've run out of charge, a big ole pack of HotHands hand warmers you can shake shake shake on your way out the door to slowly activate heat that will last for a few hours if you keep it tucked in a pocket or glove.
Promising review: "I keep a continual supply of these in my vehicle for several reasons. I drop these in my pockets to warm my hands and body at hockey games, but honestly, any time I spend a great deal of time outside in the winter, I have them just in case. Once they heat up, you can put them in gloves, pockets, or anywhere you need to keep warm (I’ve put them in my knit hat before). Depending on the temps and where you place them, two to four hours of warmth can last." —Miss Hollis
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $15.46.
These are also available in body warmers and toe warmers on the Hot Hands Amazon storefront!
8. An Orolay jacket, aka *the* Amazon coat, complete with fleece-lined hood, duck-down, and a snug warmth that is truly UNPARALLELED when it comes to facing the elements. You may have noticed a lot of people wearing over the past few years, and it truly lives up to its cozy hype. I can speak from experience when I say once one person gets it, the whole friend group wants to get on board.
TBH, it is the warmest, most functional coat I've ever owned. It's like being snuggled everywhere you go?? A gift that will just keep on giving and giving. Also the POCKETS ON THIS THING. I genuinely feel like a one-woman clown car pulling out all the things I've snuck in there. I don't use a purse in the winter, everything just very snugly and securely fits in one of the zippered pockets (and the side pockets are SO warm for your hands).
Psst — if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe, you can try this piece out before you buy it!
Promising review: "I ordered this for my Scotland winter trip after seeing it on TikTok and I have to say it lived up to the hype. It kept me toasty warm and dry. Plus, I LOVED all of the pockets...so many pockets!! I was able to carry my phone, a charging brick, hat, gloves, cell phone and credit cards/money with room to spare. It's also really easy to adjust the fit with the side zippers and snaps on the front. One of the best buys I've ever made on Amazon!!" —Staci B
Get it from Amazon for $151.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–5XL and 13 colors).
9. Or a heated jacket with a battery pack for anyone who loves the outdoors but is truly ready to sing, "Hit the road, Jack Frost." This rechargeable battery gives 10 hours of warmth on three heat settings to keep you cozy without all the bulk of layers. Bonus: It's machine washable and comes with a detachable hood.
Check out a TikTok of the heated jacket in action.
Promising review: "I was honestly kind of skeptical about this at first because it took a bit of time to heat up all the way, but once it did I was absolutely in love. It gets so warm and is absolutely perfect. It’s very very well made and luxurious feeling. 10/10." —Ezra Adair
Get it from Amazon in two styles: $159.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and three colors) and $159.99 (available in men's sizes S–3XL and four colors).
10. A pair of delightfully warm touchscreen-friendly gloves — not only do these gloves come in a bunch of cute colors, but they have grippers on the fingers so you can hold your devices and text without taking them off.
Promising review: "I love these gloves. These fit well, they are soft, and warm. The pads on the palm and fingers give them a sure grip and the nodules on the thumb and two fingers allow me to use my iPhone without taking them off. These are the best gloves I've ever had." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $7.95+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 30 colors).
11. A delightfully ginormous super soft oversize scarf designed to feel *just* like cashmere, so you can basically be a warm, sentient cloud wherever you roam.
12. An insulated weatherproof and soundproof strip that easily sticks to the outer rims of your door to keep heat from escaping out of your room, so you'll stay cozy all night long. (It also works great as a sound dampener if you *also* have neighbors who like to watch The Office on full blast at 2 a.m.!!)
Promising review: "JUST WHAT I NEEDED! This weatherstrip worked great for me. It came in two attached strips with an adhesive backing. The strips can be separated as needed. It was easy to peel the backing and install the strips. I installed both strips on the door casing where the door meets it when closed. It immediately stopped the draft that was coming in around the door." —RH in TN
Get it from Amazon for $8.97 (available in four colors).
13. A pair of chic wireless headband headphones so you can keep your ears toasty warm listening to music during outdoor workouts, or listening to white noise in particularly chilly bedrooms.
Promising review: "This is a great product for running outdoors or hiking! In some circumstances, ears can get cold very quickly and cause ear pain or ringing outdoors. The cloth lining here has been very helpful in reducing these side-effects. The band is also more comfortable than earbuds for casual listening in my opinion. Sound leaks through at loud volumes so it is best used in a casual setting or outdoors. The band is very easy to clean in the washing machine." —LL
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 15 colors).
14. A ridiculously plush, warm blanket reviewers swear compares to the $$$$ Barefoot Dreams version, matching the quality, ridiculous softness, and durability without the big ole yikes of a price tag.
Promising review: "I was on the hunt for a medium weight blanket that keeps me warm but doesn’t make me sweat when my husband cranks the air conditioner — and this is PERFECT!!!!! It is so snuggly and comforting and keeps me the perfect temperature. Plus my pups love it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!" —Tall blonde
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in 30 styles and four sizes).
15. A compact, one-setting personal heater so anytime a room is just a lil' too chilly for your liking, you can whip out this gizmo and be the master of your own temperature fate once more.
Promising review: "My office was FREEZING due to unfixable circumstances. This little heater is great. It does not have to gear up; it immediately starts putting out heat when turned on. The top and sides remain cool while the device is on. I sit directly in front of the heater, and I’m not too hot or too cool; it’s perfect. I sit underneath an air vent, and this little thing cancels out the freezing air much to my liking. My office is small and enclosed, so the heat fills the entire space after a while (maybe 45–60 minutes). Good buy! I recommend it!" —BB.J
Get it on Amazon for $21.22+ (available in four colors).
16. Or a lightweight, delightfully quiet portable oscillating space heater you can control with a remote from your perch like the cozy warm gremlin you deserve to be. This is easy to move from room to room, heats up super fast, and can easily distribute warmth through bedrooms, living rooms, offices, and kitchens.
Promising review: "I've had many small electrical heaters over the years, but by far, this is the best heater I've ever used. The display is clean and accurate, adjusting the temperature is simple, and it can heat up a room in minutes. Great product!!!" —Haleem Street
Get it from Amazon for $59.99.
17. A heated car seat cushion that plugs right into the car's outlet so you can actually sing along to your morning commute playlist instead of growling "BRRRRRRRRRRR" to yourself the whole way there. This has multiple heat settings, a timer for how long you want it on, and heats up FAST.
Promising review: "I bought one about two years ago and it still works great. I recently bought a second one for the passenger seat. The best feature is that it has a control that you can adjust the heat level and how long it stays on. It has a 30, 60, 90 and constant on setting (which I use on long trips)." —Mark Ehlrich
Get it from Amazon $47.99.
18. A pair of sherpa-lined joggers so warm and comfortable that, whoops, they just became your only personality trait.
Promising review: "These are the most awesome and warm sweats ever. Love the fit, fabric, and style with zippered pockets. So nice to have a zippered pocket as I actually wear these to work on cold days. I work outside and love the comfort of this pant. Not to mention the great feel on the inside. I have washed them several times and they come out perfect and do not shrink either. I loved them so much I bought two other pairs in different colors." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 18 colors).
19. A pair of trendy, affordable winter boots that not only keep your feet absurdly warm, but actually deliver on traction — these anti-slip soles have made me, a certifiable Clumsy Individual, feel a lot more steady on my feet walking in the snow and icy pavement.
I only got these a few years ago because it was a Black Friday sale, but now that I've worn them I would have paid full price and then some. They're ridiculously comfortable, keep my feet warm and dry, and I felt very secure walking in them on a day with fresh snow and the day after, when the sidewalks were icy. There was no break-in period, either, which I appreciate because I tend to go on long walks. There are no half sizes and some reviewers suggested leaning toward your lower size if you're usually a half — this was true for me! They run a smidge large.
Promising review: "I purchased these to wear while walking my dog 1+ miles daily, and wanted to feel safe walking in the snow and ice. The anti slip tread on these boots did not disappoint. They are sturdy and allow me to walk without any slipping. My feet stay warm while walking through snow and ice sludge in the street." —lovetoshop
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in women's sizes 5-11 and five colors).
20. A towel warmer the entire family will welcome into your home like it's the newest (and new favorite) member — there's nothing quite like stepping into a warm robe, toasty PJs, or a cozy warm blanket, and with this machine, you can experience it *all*.
Promising review: "This does an awesome job of keeping up to two bath sheet sized towels warm. Several time settings. This is awesome to get out of the shower and have. I won’t go back to not having heated towels — it’s amazing!" —Anne Bowman
Get it from Amazon for $119.84+ (available in eight colors).
21. A heated toilet seat because it's disrespectful to your butt to shock it with the absolutely FREEZING temps of your porcelain throne at three in the morning. With this gadget's three heated settings you'll never have to endure that kind of nonsense again.
Promising review: "We live in a very cold area where overnight temperatures are actually below-freezing in the wintertime. This thing takes the fear out of sitting on a cold toilet seat on a cold winter day. This seat is really warm, even on the lowest setting." —U.M.
Get it from Amazon for $104+ (available in two shapes and two colors).
22. A pair of oh-so-cozy "teddy" slippers that might just be that ~holy grail~ pair you've been searching for — not only are these mega soft and warm, but reviewers note that they don't overheat, hold up over time, and machine wash beautifully. (Bonus: they're also very quiet if you're trying not to wake the fam!)
Promising review: "I’ve been searching for a pair of slippers for a long time. Literally have bought and returned many. I bought a pair for my husband and he loved them so I decided to try them. So glad I did. Love the color, fit, comfort and warmth. Also, machine washable. I’m going to buy another style. Highly recommend." —J
Get it from Amazon for $17.59 (available in women's sizes 5–12 and nine colors).
23. Plus an always trendy teddy jacket so you can live your dream of becoming a sentient stuffed animal.
Promising review: "I waited entirely too long to buy one of these!! I live in the northeast where we have brutally cold winters. The heat in my apartment is wonky and I'm always cold in the morning while at my desk. This jacket is SO warm, cozy and snuggly. It feels like wearing a hug!! I can't wait until next winter (first time in my entire four decades on earth I've ever said that!) so I can wear it again." —jamie lynn prata
Get it from Amazon for $46.99+ (available in women's sizes S—3XL and 24 styles).
24. A cleverly designed mug warmer to put competing mug warmers to shame — this one *only* warms up when you trigger the sensor by setting your mug down on it, so you don't have to worry about the heat of the pad if you forget to unplug it and leave it unattended. This is every office worker and slow coffee guzzler's DREAM.
Promising reviews: "I drink coffee pretty much all day especially during the fall and winter. It was a hassle to go back and forth to the kitchen at work to warm my coffee. I saw this product and thought I’d try it and I absolutely LOVE it. It has a weight sensor so it turns on when you place your cup on the top plate and turns off when cup is lifted. I use it at work daily. I also think you could place a candle in a glass container on the warmer and it would work as well. My coffee is never too hot. It’s perfect. The only CON is that I wish it had a longer cord so I could move to a diff spot on my desk." —Kim bur lee
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five styles).
25. A lightweight quilted jacket that features a thick, insulating fabric with a slightly faded vintage-esque look to it, making it the ultimate in warmth, comfiness, and cuteness.
Check out a TikTok of the quilted jacket in action.
Promising review: "I have THREE of this jacket in different colors. I'm obsessed!!! Quality is gorgeous and the fit is true to zie. However, I size up one for a looser more oversized look which I LOVE! It works perfectly. Very warm and comfortable. Super soft and great quality — not too thin or thick. Also looks expensive. Couldn't recommend more." —luluprime
Psst — if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe, you can try this piece out before you buy it!
Get it from Amazon for $77.98+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 16 colors).
26. A heated throw blanket with three different heat settings, which can be described as "Warm," "Toasty," and "Good Luck Ever Getting Me to Leave This Cozy Spot Ever Again." Bonus: It's entirely machine washable!
Promising review: "I am always cold in the winter. This is a great item because it has snaps on it, which means you can wear it around your shoulders like a shawl and it is long enough to wrap your legs in, or sit on to keep your bottom warm! I love it!" —Diane W
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in four sizes and five colors/patterns).
27. An ice cream cozy to keep your fingers warm when you're eating ice cream in chilly temps, because as all true dessert lovers know, ice cream season is all of them.
Whimsical Winnie is a Maryland-based Etsy shop established in 2017 that specializes in home decor and accessories.
Promising review: "Perfect size!! I saw others that went higher up on the pint, but I would of totally gotten ice cream on those. This is just the right size! The thickness of the material is great too, my hands don’t get cold :) Although Jenis would taste amazing any way, it’s even better to enjoy it in a coozie. Highly recommend! Quick shipping too." —Meghan Collins
Get it from Whimsical Winnie on Etsy for $8 (available in three prints).
28. Or a cozy cup sleeve for anyone who stubbornly drinks iced bevvies all winter long — this will keep your hands nice and toasty even as you suck down icy water or coffee on your mission to hydrate and/or dehydrate your human self.
Emboldened Adventures is an Illinois-based Etsy shop established in 2017 that specializes in handmade gifts, baby items, and home decor.
Promising review: "I use this for my glass mason jar iced coffees! It works great at keeping my hands from freezing and prevents the jar from getting everything wet. It also still fits in my car cup holder with this on!" —Lacey Johnson
Get it from Emboldened Adventures on Etsy for $14 (available in five colors).
29. A ridiculously cute microwaveable stuffed animal that doubles as a heating pad to get you through the chilliest months of the year. These bubs are also lavender-scented, which may help with anxiety or insomnia if you need a soothing way to calm down.
These "Warmies" are each filled with all-natural grain and dried lavender, so you can microwave them to use them as heating pads or pop in a sealed bag in the freezer for two to three hours to use them as a cold pack.
Promising review: "Heated it in microwave for only 30 seconds — at first touch, it felt cool, but then felt comfy warm, and stayed warm for long time. It was never scalding hot, just comfy warm that you can only feel by keeping around after a couple of minutes. Lavender scent is also very good. Looks cute like a cuddly puppy." —S. Garg
Get it from Amazon for $31.25 (also available in other animals).
30. A set of four self-adhesive shower curtain clips to keep the hot steam of your shower close, and that unwelcome rush of cold air the heck out. (FWIW, people also use this to keep their curious cats out of the shower 😭.)
Promising review: "We live in a small apartment that is a converted attic space. As such we have slanted ceilings throughout different spaces. I was losing precious steamy warm air out this giant gap. I saw this product in a BuzzFeed article and it was exactly what I was looking for! The adhesive is very strong but the curtain itself is easy to remove to open. I only used one and it was strong enough to keep the whole side of the wall blocked." —starvingcollegestudent
Get the pack of four on Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of eight).
31. A "dog bed for humans" so plush and warm that you may just have to change your legal address to "beanbag." Reviewers especially love the softness of the faux fur and the firm coziness of the raised rims that make it a perfect little nest for reading, napping, playing video games, or just otherwise existing in snuggly bliss.
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
Get it from Amazon for $169.99 (clip the $50 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in four colors and two sizes).
32. A big ole oversized strawberry sweater for anyone who wants to be berry, berry comfortable all winter long. Reviewers are obsessed with how soft this human tent is, and that it comes with *pockets* for snack stashing.
Aemicion is a small business specializing in oversized comfy sweaters.
Promising review: "Literally so perfect, very soft and comfortable, the colors are very vibrant and beautiful. If I start moving around my house doing chores it does get a little warm, but I run warm most of the time and keep my house super cold so it not an issue at all!! I can’t wait for the fall/winter to come because this will be a game changer!!" —Nicole Muse
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in dozens of styles and kid sizes).
You, feeling invincible in your ridiculously warm Orolay coat:
