Fleece PJs, an electric fireplace, hot cocoa bombs, and more things to warm your body and soul on days when it's too cold to leave the house.
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

Promising review: "Rarely do I write reviews, but when I noticed the craftsmanship and beautiful wrapping I couldn’t help but make tea right away and try this out. It looks exactly like the pictures, and no matter how hot the mug is, I can still hold it with two hands now which is what I’ve needed. I’d buy another one and buy one for a friend, it’s one of those things you never think you need until you have it!" —Erin

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

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

Believe me when I tell you this blanket made me gasp the first time I ever held it, which was over Christmas when I opened it as a gift from my parents (yes, I'm the age where I get excited over blanket gifts). It feels more expensive than it is. The top part of it is silky faux fur, while the bottom part is velvety, and it manages to feel both lightweight and extremely warm. I feel like a cozy queen when I curl up under it. My cats fight me for it. If you buy a single blanket this winter (though why limit yourself to one?), let this be it.

It's chunky and heavy, yet breathable so you don't get *too* warm.
Promising review: "I want to wrap myself in this gorgeous blanket and hide away from the world. The seller was so helpful and I received my beautiful blanket so quickly. Don’t hesitate, this blanket is a true work of art, nothing in store can compare to its quality and beauty.❤️" —Laurel Arturi

Promising review: "A blanket sweater is one of the best ideas of all time. It’s so soft, not itchy. It's perfect for super cold weather, rainy days, lazy days. Pretty much any day. Everyone in my family is getting one for the holidays. Great gift idea. I purchased matching ones for my husband and I with the fleece inside. It’s the kindest thing you can do for yourself. My husband also enjoys it very much." —Briana

Reviewers recommend sizing up for a roomier look!
Promising review: "I ordered this item to wear during chilly days and I am in love! It feels so soft and warm. It is warm enough for winter, but you can also wear it during spring and fall. It is so versatile that I even wear it as a morning robe and it has pockets!! The first time I wore it, everybody complimented how cozy It was, and the hood gives it an edgy look. I am really satisfied with my purchase. I ordered two colors and I love it!" —Angelica Guillen

Promising review: "Sit down y'all. You're about to get an amazing review. I have been purchasing on Amazon for as long as I can remember and this scarf right here is the best purchase that I have ever made. THE BEST. I love plaid. I love everything about plaid. My attire is basically a constant state of autumn aesthetic no matter what the season actually is. I came across this scarf and thought 'well hey this looks like everything else I own so I might as well buy this'. So I did. This thing comes in the mail and I'm excited. I open up the package and then I touch it. It's so soft. I feel like I'm petting a bunch of tiny kittens. It's thin but not too thin. It doesn't feel cheap. It's not super bulky around my neck. I don't think many people enjoy feeling like a turtle with that weird skin that they have around their neck that slowly pulls back when they come out of their shell. Anyway, this thing is gigantic. I was freezing in my office yesterday and unwrapped my scarf and made myself a fun little blanket to enjoy during my 9–5. I felt so cozy and warm. It was wonderful." —Sarah

It's a great option for apartment dwellers and smaller homes without a built-in fireplace — we deserve to have a cozy fire too! This sweet little fireplace has an adjustable thermostat so you can select your preferred temperature, and its overheat protection shuts the heater off if it gets *too* hot.
Promising review: "I love this heater. It puts out however much heat you need, and the thermostat keeps the room at an even temp. The 'fire' looks so real that the daughter of my friend kept insisting it must be a real fire! Also love that the heat unit and the visual fire are separate so even when you don't need the heat, you can feel cozy. That's a big plus in a humid Southern area when it should be cold but isn't! Another plus is that the unit doesn't get hot to the touch. I bought another for my niece for Christmas. The price is great for the quality as well." —SBR
Get it from Amazon for $97.07.
It only has one setting, on or off, but most reviewers say that's totally fine. And if you're worried about safety, it automatically shuts off if it's tipped over or isn't level!
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 to 60 minutes). Good buy! I recommend it!" —BB.J
Get it on Amazon for $20.19+ (available in four colors).
Promising review: "This blanket is magic. I got it for anxiety, to help with my sleep, and simply because I had heard such wonderful things. It has not disappointed and has in fact surpassed any expectation I had. To begin with, the cover that comes off of it on it, is easily removed and easily washed. It is very soft. There are ties on the blanket and the inside of the cover to make sure that the blanket doesn’t slide around within the cover. I use the blanket in my bed and on the couch. It will warm you up if you are chilly, but absolutely does not make you too warm. It never makes you feel hot. It provides a coziness and the weight of it makes you feel like you’re getting a huge hug all over your body. The beads are evenly distributed and because the blanket is made a certain way, they don’t all gather at one end. I would recommend it to anyone." —Amazon Customer

Comma Home is a small business that donates 10% of sales to small organizations nationwide to help people without housing.
Promising review: "This blanket is a game changer. I was extremely suspicious of weighted blankets. I tried one several years ago and really didn’t like it. This blanket has completely changed my mind. It’s extremely high quality, evenly weighted and is so cozy. The faux fur is very soft and my cats love snuggling in it with me. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, especially with severe anxiety like mine. I will be ordering another!" —Alaina

Promising review: "If you want to be warm and cozy these are the way to go! I like them so much I bought them for my siblings and three weeks later each of them sent me a message about how much they love them!" —A. Perkins
Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 45 colors, suitable for women's sizes 6–10).
Promising review: "These are amazing. So soft and warm. It's obvious they contain real wool because of the ever-so-slight scratchiness, but after one wash and hang-dry, they're already much softer. These are going to be wonderful for keeping my near-reptilian body temperature up this fall and winter. They're cute with all my outfits and look great under boots, but they're also cozy for around the house. They stay up on me without a problem, even though I have skinny calves (13.5 inches). These feel really well-made, too. Great price for the 3-pack." —KittyWarriorQueen
Get them from Amazon for $12.90 (available in six colors, suitable for women's sizes 5–9).
They're lightweight and breathable — in spite of the fleece lining — so you can also wear them as workout pants without overheating.
Promising review: "Warm leggings are a must for a figure skating coach, even if you're 50! These are not only the best value for the money, they are the best overall. These are absolutely yoga-safe — or skating coach-safe — which is a must! That said, the thickness is just right because they don't impede movement. They will keep you warm and cozy! Even if you're not exercising or skating, these are the best bet for a cold day. The gray is especially nice because it's solid, not heather. The navy are a true navy, very dark, and have not faded after several washes. It's still a good idea to wash them inside out and hang to dry. Absolutely 5 stars. Two pairs are not enough. The black will be coming home at some point soon!" —m+m

Listen, I like the little packets of Swiss Miss from the store as much as the next person, but now that I've tried these hot chocolate bombs, it's kind of hard to go back to the powdery stuff. They're from Big Bear Chocolates, a small biz based in Spokane, Washington, that sells its chocolatey creations on Etsy. Everything about them looks ~expensive~ and decadent from the time you open the packaging — you almost want to take a bite out of one. All you have to do is heat up 12 ounces of milk for a single cup, then pour the hot milk over one of these bombs while it's in a mug, then get ready to watch the transformation.
For the first few seconds, I wasn't sure what was happening, if anything was happening, but then the bomb started to turn and broke open, marshmallows suddenly taking its place. At that point, you're supposed to just start stirring until it's all combined. The drink itself is as delicious as you'd expect — it's just an extremely good and very rich mug of hot chocolate. If you want it to taste *extra* chocolatey, I think you could probably use a little less than 12 ounces of milk. But overall, I'm obsessed with these now, I'm probably going to gift them to everyone I know, and I'll be a little disappointed if I ever have to make hot chocolate without these bombs again.

The combo pack comes with 16 different masks, each of which highlights a specific ingredient like cucumber, green tea, aloe, or charcoal. They're all packed with hydrolyzed collagen, known for increasing your skin's elasticity while minimizing fine lines, and they're great for moisturizing and soothing redness as well. Each mask was made in Korea and is free of parabens, sulfates, and oil!
Promising review: "I am a full-time student with a very busy schedule. Once a week, I set aside one hour to myself where I can put on a robe, give myself a mani-pedi, use one of these masks, and chill. The coolness of the mask is very soothing and calming, and I immediately start to feel my stress just melting away. I keep them on for longer, about 30-45 minutes, and my face looks glowing and hydrated after absorbing the serum. I only use them once a week; they're very cost-effective. I am always looking for cheap ways to feel pampered after a long week. I'm hooked!" —n0va

This is another one of my personal favorite blankets, and it is truly INCREDIBLE. I keep it on my bed, and it makes the entire room feel cozier. It's not just for show either — it's heavier and thicker than the average throw blanket; I use it as an extra layer on freezing-cold NYC nights. It's large enough to really wrap up in for warmth, too. It's ultra-soft, feels really durable, and looks 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:
More 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

Filled with durable shredded foam, this super cushy bean bag ships in a box a fraction of its size and expands to its actual size over time.
Promising review: "So it's huge!! Like two adults can comfortably lounge in this thing and it’s got extra room. It comes in an airtight plastic bag and will start to rise once that is removed, take a day or so. It's so cozy and comfy, I've napped in it twice on accident. I couldn’t help it, I was so relaxed." —Colby Noonkester

Promising review: "I like this product so much because it has three different levels of warmth. Truly, the first level is all you need, but the other two are just as valuable to warm your fingers when you just can’t get them warm. I typically use it in my coat pockets when I have playground duty, but have also cuddled up with it on the couch when I just can’t get warm. I even bought one as a gift for someone!" —Monica

Reviewers say it runs large, so consider sizing down one unless you plan on layering a lot!
Promising review: "So soft and comfortable!! Fits really big though. I got an extra large, which is my normal size but definitely could’ve gone with a large. I would suggest sizing down. I love oversized sweaters though! It’s 100% acrylic so it doesn’t shrink, which is nice. It’s also super soft without being scratchy. I love the cable-knit design!
