1. A set of fairy lights so that every time the sun sets, your home looks like a magical fairy cavern filled with twinkly lights, hot Cheetos, and Euphoria.
It comes with eight different light modes, including a *twinkle* mode, with a controller attached to the lights so you can easily switch between them.
Promising review: "OK, so it's quarantine time. Life is a bit grim. You want a little bit more light in your sphere, so you see these, and you think, maybe. Well, I'm here to turn your 'maybe' into a 'yes.' Not only do these lights add a bit more illumination to a bedroom that's quite dark, but they're just so magical and fairy-like. They infuse a little bit of joy into my world that I really appreciate. I have beams going across my ceiling, so I ended up stringing them across the whole room. I also appreciate that the remote (which is another warning part of the actual strand of lights) has various settings depending on your mood. I usually opt for the stable one, but these offer several modes. ENJOY!" —Tess
Get them from Amazon for $19.99.
2. Or some simple twinkle lights that'll make literally any corner of their home look so ✨ magical ✨ .
Each fairy light is 16.4 feet long.
Promising review: "OK, so let me just say that these little lights are amazing! I bought them solely based on reviews and hoped for the best. Well, I'm just blown away by how neat these things work! Batteries are not included, so I had to do a store run to fix that. Each string takes three AA batteries and each remote takes a flat watch battery (included!), but it's well worth it! These little guys really put on a show! I love that I have eight different choices for light shows. I also love that there's a timer if I want to use it. I finally have solved the problem of how to light the wreath on my front door without having an ugly cord or using other light sets that eat batteries in a day or so. Trust me, you can NOT go wrong with these things! I've seen similar stings in stores...but without a remote, without the eight light sequence choices, and for a much higher price for just one string! So happy with these. I bought two sets of two, but I may be ordering more. They're that neat!" —Deborah
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three colors).
3. An essential-oil diffuser to create a soothing environment that'll calm the mind and even help provide a relaxing space. It *also* functions as a humidifier — perfect for super dry homes.
It has two misting modes, continuous and intermittent, which will mist and pause for 30 seconds. It also has eight colors you can change it to to match your current mood or ambience. The best part? It will automatically shut off when it's out of water so you can sleep soundly knowing it won't break or cause any safety issues.
Don't forget to buy some essential oils so you can make your home smell nice!
Promising review: "This diffuser is amazing. Easy to control color/water output, small and compact, easy to clean, and outright beautiful. It's great for my apartment; I can finally cover up the totally-not-pot smell that the previous tenant so graciously left me. It's also great for setting up a romantic environment when the significant other comes over. Just a heads-up — if you have a dog, try not to diffuse tea tree oil, or do it in a place where the dog doesn't go. It's bad for their nervous system. I think it's the same with cats as well, but I'm not sure." —Amazon customer
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in five colors).
4. A hand-knit pet bed that your fur baby will actually want to sleep in — and it'll look so cozy in your home. My cats are *so* unbelievably picky with beds, but they're absolutely obsessed with this one!
As you can see, my cat, Norman, has claimed the bed as his own. It's super soft and moldable, which is clearly why he likes it because it will cave in around him. He will sleep in it for literal hours in every position imaginable. The other two cats get some time in it as well, and they all show signs of genuinely loving it. They *also* make biscuits in it and it holds up remarkably well. I can't say enough good things about this bed. It's a HIT!
Berkshire Yarn Works is a Black woman-owned small business based in The Berkshires, Massachusetts that sells cozy handmade items for you and your home.
Promising review: "The quality is great, color is beautiful, and my cat is already loving her new bed! Great customer service too, thank you for sending me details so I could pick the perfect cat bed!" —Morgan
Get it from Berkshire Yarn Works on Etsy for $75 (available in four colors).
5. A memory foam mattress because you deserve to sleep like royalty and nothing says ✨ I'm staying home and cozying up in bed ✨ quite like a copper foam mattress.
Here's why this mattress is amazing: Copper gel in the foam reacts to increased pressure with a firming response, so it stays soft, but provides ample support around deep compression areas where you need it most. *Additionally* the copper particles are super conductive, which helps carry heat away from the body faster, resulting in a lovely, cool sleep. But that's not all! The mattress has TWO SIDES! You can flip it over and either have a firm mattress *or* a soft mattress! It's a two-in-one!
Promising review: "I slept on a Layla mattress when I stayed at a Airbnb. when I arrived back home the first thing I did was ordered a Layla mattress. I love my Layla mattress. I sleep so well and no aches or pains when I awake!" —Mary G.
Get a queen size from Layla Sleep for $949 (originally $1,099, available in twin–Cali king).
6. A supportive bath pillow for anyone who would rather take a relaxing hot bath on a Friday night than go outside and *shudders* socialize. You have to admit your bathroom would look so much more inviting and cozy with this in it.
This waterproof pillow has seven suction cups so you don't have to worry about it falling off after you found the perfect spot to put it.
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
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in three sizes and seven colors).
7. And a bathtub tray, because with your new pillow comes new activities and one of them being reading books while drinking your favorite late-night beverage.
Psst! The sides extend! This means it can definitely fit your bathtub!
Promising review: "When I placed my order for this tray I looked at the pics but did not realize how really cool this piece is. The ability to change the size is great but I just love the different trays that are removable as well as the ability to put my phone and a Kindle in 'safe' areas of the tray. I found a perfect place for my TV remote should I want to watch TV and not read. I just got it and used it last night but it appears to be well made, balanced and offers versatility for the things you may want at your fingertips when taking a luxurious bath!" —SindiMcG
Get it from Amazon for $37.97+ (available in seven colors).
8. A Birthdate Candle to add a bit of ambience to your cozy home, since you (happily) spend all your time there, while paying homage to the best day of the year: my birthday. OK, fine. *Your* birthday.

Get it from Birthdate Candles for $49.99 (originally $59.99).
9. A mushroom chair you'll quickly designate as your go-to spot for reading books, scrolling TikTok, or taking midday naps.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this chair! The cushion is very comfortable — great for sinking in to read, watch TV, play on the Wii, or even nap if you are shorter like me. My nieces and nephew climbed all over it and it didn't break, very sturdy. It even spins completely which was a happy surprise. The blue color is vibrant and goes so nicely with the gray base. Worth the money!" —Samantha
Get it from Amazon for $183.99+ (available in 17 colors).
10. An ultra-breathable oversized blanket to cuddle on the couch while you watch all of your favorite shows on Netflix. "What's that? Go to a bar? Sorry, I just started Squid Game, so I'll be here a while." —You, and me TBH.

Muslin Comfort is a woman-owned small biz based in California.
Promising review: "I recently purchased the king-sized gray muslin blanket and I love it! It is the perfect weight blanket and is generous enough on all sides of my bed. It is soft and I hear (from other reviews) that it will get even softer as it is washed more. If you are thinking about it — buy it — you won't be disappointed!" —Amy S.
Get it from Muslin Comfort for $199.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and seven colors).
11. Or a more budget-friendly fleece blanket that'll still provide tons of comfort and coziness without breaking the bank.
Promising review: "Love this blanket so much that I’m planning to order several more as Christmas gifts!! It is SO soft, great quality, and goes perfect with my decor. It has the feel of a much more expensive blanket." —Amazon customer
Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in four sizes and 27 colors).
12. An inflatable fort because using blankets and sheets to build a fort takes waaay too much time, and by the time you're done, your kid (or you, like this is perfect for adults) is bored. All you need is a box fan and they'll have a magical and cozy fort in no time.
Promising review: "We purchased this for my son for his 9th birthday. The four people in our family and our dog fit in there with room to spare. It is such a great fort and packs up so small. I was worried about the coldness due to the fan, but it is not a problem at all. We threw a couple of blankets in there when feeling chilly and it was perfect." —Michelle S.
Get it from Amazon for $49.95 (available in 14 styles).
13. A super soft cotton weighted blanket that may help ease some of your anxiety or restlessness you hate dealing with every night. When I'm anxious, I *always* reach for my weighted blanket to ground me.
You should also check out the company's weight chart to properly determine which blanket size is right for you.
Promising review: "After reading other reviews on weighted blankets, I decided to go with Luna, and I have bought two now, one as a gift. I love that the material is organic cotton, and the beads are not made of plastic. The cotton is light but strong. I have used this blanket for three or so months now. Having battled insomnia, restless legs, joint pain, and muscle pain, I had read that a weighted blanket could help. Honestly, I hardly have sleepless nights now. The blanket isn't too heavy but just heavy enough. and I love it!! Before I had this blanket, there were many nights I was awake until 3 a.m. due to insomnia and pain. Now, usually within a half-hour of winding down, I am asleep! It calms my restless legs, and really lessens muscle and joint pain! The blanket is sturdy, holding up well, and totally worth the money." —sunshine
Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in 14 weights and sizes and in 24 colors).
14. An elegant glass reed diffuser for when you love the ambience you get from having lovely scents around, but you're not just a big fan of candles.
The options for scents include Honeysuckle Jasmine, Lavender, Lemon Lavender, Eucalyptus Spearmint, Green Tea & Lemongrass, and Tobacco Vanilla.
Pretty Honest Candles is a Black-owned, woman-owned business established in 2017 that specializes in clean burning, biodegradable candles, accessories, and reed diffusers.
Promising review: "The Tobacco Vanilla diffuser is unbelievably delicious smelling and the Clean Cotton candles are making my home cozy fresh as fall hits. The elegance and simplicity of the design makes these a new must-have in my home decor and the scents add sooo much ambience to all our rooms!! Will keep buying when they run out!" —Catherine Heider
Get it from Pretty Honest Candles for $38 (available in 11 scents).
15. A night-light projector because nothing says cozy like feeling like you're in literal space while cuddling in your blanket, am I right?
It even comes with a built-in Bluetooth music speaker so you can sync your favorite songs or audio with it, plus a remote with 10 color and dimming options so you can control it from wherever you are in the room.
Promising review: "Bought this for a galactic-themed party recently, and I'm amazed by the quality! The LED lights are crisp and clear, and very colorful on empty canvases. This can also be used for kids' rooms, gaming rooms, or for a night under the 'stars' when it's rainy out. The instructions are clear on which buttons are which on the remote control, so you can change the colors of the simulated nebulas, set timers, etc. easily." —Shin-Chiao Fang
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two colors).
16. A eucalyptus lavender pouch that'll effortlessly turn your rigid bathroom into a luxurious, cozy spa experience with just one whiff while you lather your hair with shampoo.

Eucalyptus Blooms is a North Carolina-based, woman-owned business that specializes in eucalyptus bunches designed to freshen up your home.
Promising review: "These smell AMAZING, and they're such a perfect size for the shower. I used to have big bundles of eucalyptus, but they always took up so much space. These are perfectly sized and the blend of Eucalyptus and Lavender is HEAVENLY." —Maggie
Get a set of three from Eucalyptus Blooms on Etsy for $12.79 (this shop offers free shipping!).
17. A 4-in-1 bedside lamp so you not only have ambient lighting (which comes in three levels of brightness!) in your bedroom, but you can *also* charge your phone on it ~and~ play music.
Promising review: "Firstly the packaging of the product is so pretty, it’s like a turquoise-and-gold marble effect and I’m going to keep it to use for storage. The product itself is sleek in design and multifunctional. I just love it. The handle is a touch light that has three shades of brightness. The charger is really good, too. But my favorite part of it is the speaker, you connect it to your phone via Bluetooth and the sound quality is clear and loud. I love it!" —Ornella Schinazi
Get it from Amazon for $45.99.
18. A set of friendship lamps to help keep the connection with that special person in your life when they're not around, while simultaneously adding some cute lighting to your room.

Get a set of two from Friendship Lamps on Etsy for $176 (originally $220).
19. A comfy memory foam chair cushion because if we have to sit all day for work, we might as well do it in utter ✨comfort✨.
Promising review: "Works great and helps to relieve some pressure from sitting. This is a great memory foam cushion for office chairs or your couch. You really can feel the difference. This is thick, and feels like it will last for a really long time. I've been using mine for a couple of weeks and already feel a little better. The cover is removable for washing, and the stitching is done really well. I recommend this to anyone who has to sit for more than a few hours." —phillygrl
Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in three colors).
20. A very cool hanging swing you'll be fighting your housemates for once it's installed on your patio. I mean, who wouldn't want to chill here while sipping iced coffee in the morning? The epitome of cozy *and* useful if you ask me.
Get it from Novogratz for $529.
21. A rainfall shower head because after a long day of work, don't you deserve to feel like you stepped into a luxurious spa when you open your bathroom door? The answer is yes. Yes you do.
Promising review: "I was able to install this item rather easily, my old head was harder to get off than this head was to install. The wrench that is provided is adequate along with the use of your hands; no other wrench is needed. I would just make sure you do not tighten very much. No pipe tape was needed with my installation; there was none included with my purchase. I love the adjustable arm, the flow of the water, and how relaxing it feels after a rough day to stand underneath and enjoy the water flow over your body." —Ozatlarge
Get it from Amazon for $26.34 (available in three sizes and three colors).
22. Some motorized custom shades that'll make your home look like it came straight out of that Disney movie Smart House. Best part? You won't have to get up off the cozy couch to open or close the blinds. What a time to be alive!
The blackout shades can be controlled via a remote or your Alexa or Google Assistant device.
Promising review: "While a bit spendy, these blinds are great! The customer service is impeccable and they are very responsive and were able to work with my poor measuring skills to get me sorted with a new set that only required a motor swap! After doing it twice because I put the reset button the wrong way I'm back installed and they work great!!!! Thank you!!" —Johnny X.
Get them from Amazon for $153.99+ (available in 10 colors; all orders are custom sized).
23. Chair socks to not only protect your beautiful wood floors from getting scratched, but make them look so dang cute and cozy.
Cozy Mozy Home is a small business based in Kaunas, Lithuania that sells practical and contemporary home products.
Promising review: "These are awesome! I originally bought a single pack to see how they turned out, they worked so much better than the felt tips I have been using that would somehow still leave scratches on my floor or a smudge of adhesive. I placed a second order of these socks for the rest of my dining chairs. Really happy with the quality and durability." —Terry
Get it from Cozy Mozy Home on Etsy for $11.01 (available in 10 colors).
24. A splurge-worthy luxurious velvet sofa that will basically be the only statement piece you'll need in your living room.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this sofa. I waited three and a half months to review it so you'd see some durability. I still love it! It's like a comfy firm to me. Everyone compliments it when they visit and they are always surprised that it's comfortable." —Aleiya
Get it from Allmodern for $1,400 (originally $2,150, available in five colors).
25. A toilet night-light so your treacherous journey to the bathroom past the noisy toys in the hall can be lit without causing a ruckus among the cave dwellers. AKA your kids.
This LED toilet light has 16 colors that can work on a rotation or as a solid color.
Promising review: "This seemingly silly little gadget has turned out to be great! The light level (brightness) can be dimmed down if desired, and the color can be set to whatever you want, but the bottom line is that you don't need to turn on a bright overhead light (which wakes me up and makes me angry, not a good combination) when you need to go into the bathroom at night. Cleaning it is a breeze, too; what seems like it's going to be a problem...isn't. I can't recommend this toilet night-light highly enough, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Could be on the gift list this December." —Wandergurrlee
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
26. A light-up alarm clock that'll simulate the sun rising so you can wake up in the morning gently and totally relaxed. It's also great if you sleep in a dark room and struggle to get out of bed.
This alarm clock simulates sunrise and sunset, has a choice of five different natural wake-up sounds, has FM radio, and it also has an automatic dimmable display!
Promising review: "I am so in love with it, I take it with me when I travel. I won't use anything else to wake up. It works beautifully, and has very clear and relaxing sounds that gradually increase as the light increases to wake you up gently. I don't have any more stressful mornings with this alarm clock. I wake up feeling happy, no longer frantic. I have had mine for seven months and it works so well. Very high quality, I recommend this to everyone. I thought I would have trouble waking up to the light and sounds, but I have absolutely no problem hearing it or perceiving the light." —sunny74
Get it from Amazon for $99.99.
27. And finally, a Samsung Frame TV to hide the unsightly television when it's not in use by disguising it to look like a literal piece of art. It'll make your living room look *so* cozy and chic!
BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower has one and says: "This is honest and truly the best splurge I have ever made. It has massively upgraded the look in my living room. My husband loves the photography options and I love all the classical paintings – as someone who loves changing up my decor, being able to update the display images has been so fun. The quality is fantastic while watching movies and TV...but I'm pretty sure I love it as a piece of art in my home even more."
Get it from Amazon for $527.99+ (available in seven sizes, four styles, and with or without expert installation).
You, snuggling up in your cozy home.
