    Promising review: "Miraculous results in just four days! Happy, healthy, and motivated! It's most effective if used daily for 30 minutes (but not more, as it can affect your circadian rhythms).

    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

    Promising review: "Yes yes yes! I recently found CeraVe due to dermatologist reviews on TikTok and I am not disappointed! I’ve always had oily, acne-prone skin and CeraVe has shown me it was also super sensitive. These products are so gentle but work very well. I am still going through the purge (getting rid of all the gross stuff that was under the skin) but can already tell a big difference in my skin texture." —Alicia Reid

    Get it from Amazon for $15.38

    4. Girl Scouts S'mores Seasoning Blend to give you some summer camp coziness even in the winter chill. Your yogurt, overnight oats, ice cream, coffee, brownies, and cookies are about to get even *more* lawlessly delicious.

    The clock lit up with a warm yellow glow

    This can be programmed with seven different light settings, seven different calming "wake up" noises, and to start gradually lighting up at 30, 20, or 10 minutes before you wake. 

    Promising review: "I got this recommendation from TikTok and it really has helped especially with Oregon winters where the sun is not out by the time the alarm rings. It has several peaceful alarm settings and even has night music to put you to sleep. The sunrise with the alarm piano is what I play to wake me up every morning and it is a way better way than to wake up to an annoying phone alarm." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (clip the $5 off coupon on the product page for this price). 

    6. Or a gorgeously designed Hatch Restore 2 — this sunrise alarm and sound machine works overtime as a touch-controlled smart light, bedtime reading light, and even a wind-down light that helps you get into a healthier sleep routine at night, which is especially important to maintain when it's dark out for so long. Other bedside lamps could truly never.

    Hatch Restore lets you personalize a "bedtime routine" for each night to train your brain to recognize sleep cues and get a better night's rest. Options include changing the light settings to more amber tones to help produce melatonin for sleep, soothing noise options, and sleep meditations and sleep stories you can get in the Hatch app.

    Promising review: "The Hatch Restore 2 is truly a game changer for those looking to improve their night’s sleep and wake-up routine. It’s been the best bedside companion and has improved my overall health and well-being. The combination of sounds, lights, buttons, and aesthetics really all come to play to make this feel like a truly premium device. There are touch adjustments to adjust the volume and brightness of the clock, which work really well. My favorite feature is the physical buttons which you can press to start or stop the routines; it feels very intentional when I get ready for bed and really gets me in the right mindset to begin my bedtime routine." —Natasha Advani

    Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (available in three styles). 

    7. A plug-in color-shifting mushroom light to remind you that there are flower-filled, lazy days in the sun ahead. Reviewers also swear by this lil' bub for navigating their rooms at night!

    Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99

    8. A cult-favorite Carhartt beanie, because if you know, you KNOW — when it comes to coziness, warmth, and aesthetic, this beanie has no competition. TBH, you can't blame reviewers for buying one and immediately coming back for it in multiple colors.

    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

    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

    Get a set of five from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in a variety of color combos and styles).

    10. A nostagia-inducing mini popcorn maker so you can get that old school outdoor summer movie vibe without the ... y'know. Outdoors.

    11. 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 $46.99

    12. Mega popular, high-waisted fleece-lined leggings so beloved by reviewers (literally 20,000+ 5-star reviews!) that you can get it all KINDS of ways to suit your needs, with styles that have one (hidden) pocket, three pockets, or are water-resistant. 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!

    HELLO, I bought these after a friend recommended them to me and I'm so in love with the first pair I bought that I'm ordering two more. They are so snug and insulating in the cold, and actually look really sleek and ~expensive~ on the outside. The first time I wore these I put them to the ultimate test by walking three miles in the drizzling rain, knowing full well I was about to sit in a movie theater for two hours — these truly are water-resistant, and dried in a snap. They also washed up so nicely without losing their shape. I am shouting to every New Yorker I know to stock up on these for the winter months! 

    Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL, three styles, and 24 colors). 

    13. *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–3XL and four shades).

    14. 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

    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). 

    15. 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 $39.99 (available in six colors). 

    16. Or if you've run out of charge, a big ol' 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 $18.31.

    These are also available in body warmers and toe warmers on the Hot Hands Amazon storefront! 

    17. A light up rain cloud essential oil diffuser that looks like it was pulled out of your dizziest summertime daydreams. Reviewers especially love how soothing the color changes and sounds of the water flow are. (And that both are fully adjustable!)

    Check out a TikTok of the rain cloud diffuser in action.

    Promising review: "I love this thing. I have anxiety and insomnia, and I need background noise to function/sleep. This little desktop fountain is SO SOOTHING, both aesthetically and the sound of the little raindrops. If I’m in the room with it, it’s probably on. If you love the sound of rain this is for you. Because I’m paranoid and I want this to last, I run it with plain distilled water and I have not used essential oils with it even though they say it’s fine. It’s very dry here right now, and I still only have to top up the water every few days, even with it running daily. It’s a solid 12/10 from me." —Violet

    Get it from Amazon for $56.90

    18. A user-friendly Click & Grow Indoor Herb Garden Kit, which is basically a ~smart garden~ you can grow right in your kitchen window, thanks to the handy LED grow lights that keep your plants thriving no matter how gloomy outside gets. Plus, this is truly choose-your-own-adventure — you can select grow pods for cilantro, basil, lavender, wild strawberries, thyme, chili peppers, and more. 

    Each Click & Grow kit comes with three basil pods to start you off, and you can check out the full selection of grow pods for more options! 

    Promising review: "The Click & Grow Smart Garden is very easy to set up and has fairly minimal upkeep. Place pods in, fill up with water and turn on light. The lettuce has grown exceptionally well. My grandkids love to check it out when they come to visit. I am considering gifting Click and Grow Smart Gardens to them. It is straightforward and sets you up to be a successful gardener no matter your experience level. I wanted to grow some herbs and vegetables in the winter. I love the Click & Grow!" —Kbaumg

    Get it from Amazon for $80.55+ (available in three colors). 

    19. 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 12 colors). 

    20. 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.

    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 S–XXL and three colors) and $159.99 (available in men's sizes S–3XL and three colors). 

    21. A spa-like rainfall showerhead and handle set to transform your boring morning routine to a summery, tropical oasis. This shower head helps maintain soothing, effective water pressure from a satisfying overhead angle to make you feel like you're genuinely out in ~nature~, and the handheld is perfect for massaging specific areas.

    the black set

    Each set comes with a 10-inch rain showerhead, a shower mixer valve control, a handheld shower head, a stainless-steel shower hose, a shower head arm, and a brass shower bracket holder.

    Promising review: "This rainfall shower and handheld provide a luxury spa experience in the privacy of your own bathroom. They are made of substantial, high-quality materials, and look and feel high-end. The rainfall shower is amazing with perfect pressure combined with beauty. It encourages standing for long, relaxing showers just enjoying the water as it falls over you. The handheld is magic for sore muscles or just to enjoy the massage like water. The diverter is easy to use. The price for such high-quality products is more than reasonable." —linda33

    Get it from Amazon for $169.99+ (available in five finishes and four styles). 

    22. 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 $22.77+ (available in four colors).

    23. 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.

    Get it from Amazon for $67.49.

    24. 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–XXL and 24 colors).

    25. Plus 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 $28.99+ (available in four sizes and five colors/patterns).

    Promising review: "I am a perpetually cold person, so it doesn’t help that I sit at a desk all day at work. My feet end up frozen within a few hours of sitting, and now I can be comfortable and cozy at work and my feet are never cold anymore. So happy with this purchase! The massagers are an added bonus for me." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $56.99 (available in six colors).

    28. 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.

    reviewer wearing pastel pink version

    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 $15.99 (clip the 25% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in 14 colors).

    29. A set of summery strawberry candles to burn all winter long. Warning: these are so adorable that you're going to have to keep both eyes on them whenever people come over to make sure they don't kidnap them.

    Promising review: "These earmuffs feel like a bunny does, lol. I love them so much, they are so soft. We had our first really cold day of the season today  and I was able to finally use these.

    32. A sunset lamp so you can curate the vibes once the sun starts going down WAY too early for anyone's taste. If you're going to be coated in darkness against your will all fall and winter, might as well make an aesthetic out of it!!

    Promising review: "This lamp really exceeded my expectations. I bought it on a whim and honestly wasn't expecting that much, but I'm really happy with it. Feels like it's made of durable, quality material and emits a strong light, but it's not too bright — I use it in the evenings when I'm trying to wind down before bed and it's bright enough to light up my room without feeling like it's going to mess up my sleep cycle. Highly recommend — really does feel like you're watching a lovely sunset :)" —amazon customer

    Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in three styles).

    33. An electric heated mattress pad that might be just proof that humans CAN biologically hibernate?? Because it would simply take too much effort to ever leave something so perfectly toasty again. It comes with timed auto-shutoffs and 10 heat settings, with dual controls for the queen and king sizes so two people can each set the temp *just* to their liking.

    Promising review: "We live in Wisconsin where it gets very cold at night. We like to crack the bedroom windows open at night because we prefer a cold room to sleep in. But this makes getting in bed with freezing cold sheets brutal. Not anymore! This mattress pad is a game changer! Turning the mattress pad on before getting in bed makes all the difference in the world; no more freezing cold sheets. The dual controls are great since I like my side warmer than my husband does his side. The mattress pad is soft and comfortable; you cannot feel the wires at all. It has nice deep pockets that fit on our mattress and memory foam pad very nicely." —Linda Stranzl

    34. 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

    35. 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

    36. Plus a pair of ridiculously comfy pull-on cushioned boots reviewers *swear* are just as warm and durable as the Ugg version, plus come in way more colors. 

    As an added bonus, there are no visible labels from the company on the shoe. (And reviewers say they're even easier to pull on than Uggs!)

    Promising review: "I had these on my wishlist for a while but was skeptical. I’m glad I finally ordered them! They fit perfectly and SO much easier to put on than my real Ugg minis which I love. They’re very comfy and warm. Highly recommend! Glad I bought them to wear while I wait for Ugg to restock their tan ultra minis." —Kamryn

    Psst — if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe, you can try these out before you buy them!

    37. 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.
