Promising review: "These slippers are so much nicer than I expected! They are super soft and silky with just the right amount of grain. They're not super heavy with it but there is still enough to heat the slippers well and provide a nice feel. The seller shipped them very quickly. I'm very happy!" —ButterRum

Promising review: "I researched so many coffee warmers and am so glad I decided on this one. It definitely keeps my coffee hot, no matter how long it takes me to drink it. I also like that it has three settings. As you drink down your coffee, you can lower the heat because it keeps the coffee very hot. I like it so much I ordered a second one for another part of the house." —hottytoddy

I picked this blanket up during Black Friday this year, and IT. IS. INCREDIBLE. I keep it on my bed, and it makes the entire room feel cozier. It's the softest, nicest blanket I've ever owned, and it's large and thick enough to really wrap up in for warmth (I use it as an added layer at night while I sleep). I have the terracotta color (pictured above), and it's just as beautiful in person. If you're ready to invest in a higher-quality throw, this one's worth every penny IMO. Here's what other people have to say about it:
Promising reviews: "I own three of these myself and just bought the blush as a gift. This blanket is so soft and cozy, you won't want to leave the couch once you're cuddled up in it. Beyond happy with the quality and vivid, rich colors. Once you buy one, you'll be back for more!" —Nor13
"The best throw blanket ever! I'm one tall chica, and I have had trouble with blankets being too tiny but this one is perfect! I love the ochre color and the softness/plushness does not disappoint. My family, friends and fur babies all love to use it. Buy it — you won't regret it at all!" —biggirlbritt
Get it from Anthropologie for $68.60 (originally $98; available in eight colors).
The cotton cover has 10 heat settings, with an adjustable auto-off time between one and 12 hours. It is suitable for mattresses up to 15 inches in depth.
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 duel controls are great since I like my side warmer than my husband does his side. The controls are easy to work and see in the dark. 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. You will need two outlets to plug into in order for the separate controls to work. One year later…we still love this mattress pad!" —Linda Stranzl
Get it from Amazon for $69.95+ (available in twin, full, queen, and king sizes).
I've used this blanket every winter since 2018 and it's still going strong. I have a memory foam mattress topper on my bed that goes rock hard when the air gets cold, and I used to lay there shivering for like an hour before my body heat would eventually warm me enough to sleep. Now, I just turn this blanket on the highest setting about 10 minutes or so before bed, and it warms the entire area up beautifully so that I can fall asleep right away. The thing to know about this blanket is that while it's soft, the wires that run through it are definitely noticeable, so I usually put it above the top sheet so it's not directly on my skin. For that reason, it's a great bed blanket, but I personally wouldn't curl up with it on the couch.
It has a single controller for adjusting the heat on a scale of low to 10 — I usually start at 10 and turn it down to 7 or 6 as the night goes on, as it does get quite hot. It also shuts off automatically after 10 hours as a safety setting, and I've never once had an issue with it getting *too* hot or causing any damage. In my experience, it's been a reliable blanket that made me stop dreading getting into bed during those frigid winter months.

The hand warmer takes just two minutes to reach a toasty 107 degrees Fahrenheit!
Promising review: "It lasts about three to four hours and gets warm in about 10 seconds!!! Where the heck were these things years ago when I had to stand at the bus stop!?! I charge it at the same time that I charge my phone every night. Wouldn't dare leave the house without it. NO WASTE PRODUCT! I definitely appreciate the wristband it comes with. I sometimes forget it's there and get so scared to open my hand for fear of dropping it, then I remember as it's dangling there. LoL I literally turn it on before I even walk out the door in the morning and it's hot before I even get in the car. Love this thing!" —Bonita

Promising review: "I love the look and feel of fired clay so this mug immediately caught my eye. It arrived very quickly and it is just beautiful. I ordered the blue/green Mystic Water style — it reminds me of an ocean beach. Fits nicely in my hand but does not get too hot to the touch. Will be ordering more for me and as gifts." —Wendy Collett

Promising review: "WOW. These look and feel like rabbit fur but don’t shed! They're excellent for keeping your head — especially ears — warm and/or protected from the wind. Think I’ll order a set for every female on my Christmas list. They are flattering and don’t mess up your hair." —Ice Queen Who

To apply it, you first attach the included double-sided tape to your window frame, measure your window and cut the film to size, press it onto the tape, and then shrink it with a blow-dryer so it adheres to your window. Some reviewers say they improved the process by working out bubbles with a credit card as they went.
Promising review: "This product kept my apartment warm and toasty last winter! I live in an older (but charming) apartment and the windows are not only large, they're not updated to be efficient. There was draft pretty much on all the windows in the apartment so the heater just keeps kicking in to warm the place. Of course, this means enormous heating bill. Last winter, my husband decided to try this product. We noticed the difference right away on the first night we had it installed! No more drafts and the apartment stayed pretty warm. We noticed a huge drop on our heating bill (almost $50/mo compared to previous year). It takes some time to install it especially because we have several windows in our apartment but it's absolutely worth it! I am buying another box for this coming winter!" —D Dacera

Promising review: "Ordered this as a gift for someone for Christmas. They absolutely love it. One night, I was drinking more whiskey than Paul Bunyan could handle and I put my boxers in there and in just 10 minutes it had my boys feeling like green berets storming a terrorist stronghold. Then I ate some Bojangles, took a shower and dried off with a steaming hot towel out of this bad boy. You should buy two." —Mike G.

This small unit has two heat modes and a fan-only mode, and it has an auto turn-off safety feature when parts of it start to over heat or if it tips over.
Promising review: "Love this heater. My hubby bought it for me for my office and I keep it under my desk. In seconds it warms up my entire under-desk space and keeps me warm in an extremely chilly office. The size is good for keeping it in a corner or under a desk and out of the way. The noise is like a fan. Not silent but not annoying. If your office space needs silence though (like a library) consider that it does make a low fan-like noise. As for the temp, it's very good at heating up my space. Sometimes it gets too hot though and I have to turn it down. I only wish there were more adjustments to the temperature nob. However, all in all, it was a good purchase. I no longer star in Frozen 3 here at my office :D" —Lissa O.

Promising review: "Wow this has really changed my quality of life in the office! My building is always freezing. This helps keeps my hands warm while sitting at the computer. Also very soft and lots of room to move my mouse inside. The only thing there is a little weird smell to it but kinda subsides after use. Still a great purchase in my mind though." —Kelly

Promising review: "This is the floofiest, snuggliest, warmest robe ever! However, I feel about as sultry as a grizzly bear in this thing. 0/5 do not recommend if needed for sexy times.

Promising review: "I purchased these faux leather leggings during a late-night Amazon shopping spree. They don't look faux at all, are well-made, and I receive compliments on them every time I wear them. They are also extremely comfortable and fit like a second skin. They are super warm so I probably would not wear in warmer weather but are perfect for the fall and winter. They shape well and stay put! There is no rolling or slipping down with these babies. Put them on and they are going to stay where you put them. I love them!" —Kelly C. Albanese

Promising review: "I love this headband! I live in a place that has winter and I love that I can wear this for a headband that covers my ears to keep me warm! The volume control helps because there is a lot of traffic on my street and I have to turn them up frequently. When I turn them up, the noise cancellation is good. The sound quality could be a little better because the speakers move around and you have to position them. I also like the fact that it is washable when you take out the speakers and the little charging cord. I am sure I will wear this in the summer as well. Thanks for making such a great product!" —Kathy F

Promising review: "This coat is no joke. The coldest temperature I tested it out was 9 degrees and I did not feel like I was freezing at all!

Promising review: "I am in love with my new Sperry boots! Let the rain and snow begin!!! I AM READY! These Saltwater boots are perfect for me. My 7W feet are a perfect fit ... love the side zipper for easy on and off... my feet are happy in these... and best of all the boots are a nice weight! A competitor’s rain shoe/boot was too heavy and clunky for me... I scuffed along when I walked in them. These are WONDERFUL and I can pick up my feet. I also like the height of this boot... I’m short and sometimes look like I was swallowed by my boots... not these! They look nice ... feel nice ... and make me and my feet very very happy! Thank you Sperry... I will look for more good things from you 👍" —Krissa

Promising review: "Well, as soon as I took this sweater out of the box, my toddler grabbed it and wouldn’t give it back because he assumed it was a blanket for him. Update: Son dropped it to grab a cookie I bribed him with so I got to try it on. He then tackled me and has been cuddling ever since. Let it be known that it’s a very warm sweater, obviously the softest thing ever created, and I’m trapped in it under my kid in a 70-degree house. Highly recommend." —Kristy Noble

Promising reviews: "These gloves are so warm and cozy. It’s like sticking your hand inside a nice warm pillow that’s silky soft. I wanted a pair that didn’t bother my hands when I wore rings and didn’t want to snag on finger gloves. These are by far some of the coziest gloves I’ve bought." —Natalie
"These mittens kept my hands so warm! I usually wear gloves and always have cold hands. These were great! We were at a Steelers football game and it was 12 degrees. My other family members had gloves and kept having to use handwarmers inside their gloves. Not me. Not once did my hands get cold. Love these mittens!!" —Albert Vautour

Promising review: "We have bought a lot of flannel sheet sets over the years from a number of online and brick-and-mortar stores, but these are hands-down the thickest and softest flannel sheet set we've ever owned. So impressed, we bought a set for our trailer too and will likely buy these as gifts for our adult kids. I literally can't wait to crawl into bed on a cold winter night and be cocooned in these amazing flannel sheets. We've washed them a few times and while they did shed a little initially, pilling has not been an issue. I bought the king tan and white striped set for our bed (which has a deep mattress) and got the gray striped for our trailer and both sets fit perfectly. Buy these sheets, you won't be disappointed!" —UrbanUtah

I just throw it on to run errands and look cute while doing it. It’s as comfy as a pair of sweatpants but way more stylish. I love it and will be buying other colors." —Theresa Casanova
"It's thick and seriously warm. I wore it out tonight in 40-degree weather with nothing underneath on top, and i was fine. Wear it with some fleece-lined leggings, and you won't regret it in a similar temperature. if it's windy, you may want a base layer, but this is awesome. I'm 5'5" on a good day, and this comes just below my knees, so not too long to where it looks like loungewear. It looks like a comfortable dress. I ordered two more for the season." —hownow
