    32 Things Here To Help You Tolerate Winter

    If you think snow is pretty for like five seconds before grumbling about all the reasons winter is the worst, this post is for you.

    1. A rechargeable hand warmer for anyone whose hands are always chilly. You have three temperature levels to choose from and can even use it to charge your phone!

    Promising review: "This hand warmer is amazing! My hands are constantly cold, and I've tried all sorts of products to help keep them warm, but nothing has worked until now. I charge the hand warmer every night with a standard USB charger and the next day, I have hours of warmth. The three temperature settings are very helpful — I use the highest setting when I'm outdoors for long periods of time and the lower settings when I'm indoors (e.g., sitting at my desk or in a cold movie theater). I've already given hand warmers as gifts to several cold-handed friends and family members and they're loving it as well." —RK

    Get it from Amazon for $25.03+ (available in a variety of colors/styles and two-packs).

    2. A jar of O'Keeffe's hand cream if your skin reacts to the cold by cracking, bleeding, and just generally throwing an unnecessary, uncomfortable tantrum. This'll help clear those dry knuckles up in a jiffy!

    An open jar of the cream

    Promising review: "Does this product need another 5-star review? Nope. But I had to. This is truly a miracle product!! I have the driest skin in the winter. To the point where I will look down at my hands to notice they are bleeding from all the various cracks. This product made a major difference after just one use! Here I am weeks later, and my hands have no cracks, look younger, and are no longer red. Can O'Keeffe's fix potholes too!?!" —P. Neuber

    Get a 3.4-ounce jar from Amazon for $8.48 (also available in packs of two and 12).

    3. An ergonomic two-handed shovel ingeniously designed to make slingin' piles of dense frozen water across your yard a lot less tough on your back. It'll also help you finish shoveling faster!

    A reviewer using the shovel to shovel snow

    Promising review: "Saved my back! This was the best thing I purchased this winter. I'm 75 and have been overwhelmed in the past with the task of clearing my walkway and drive just to get my car out on the road. This shovel was a world of difference. It took so much less time, and more importantly, so much less pain, particularly in my back. I was able to move a lot of snow with significantly less effort with this shovel. It was almost fun." —Daniel Miller

    Get it from Amazon for $24.24+ (available in three styles and two sizes).

    4. A pair of classic, sheepskin-lined mini Ugg boots that'll ensure peak coziness for your feet this winter. Plus, they're easy to slip on so you have one less thing to worry about before darting out the door.

    Prime members: You can try before you buy!

    Promising review: “Can’t go wrong with Ugg boots! These are super comfortable and warm. They hit just above the ankle, which is super cute paired some rolled-up jeans. These fit as expected. I would definitely recommend!" —R. Warne

    Get them from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and 15 colors).

    5. A super soft and hypoallergenic comforter here to turn your bed into the coziest spot in the house.

    Amazon

    If hypoallergenic microfiber fill that won't make you sweat through your pajamas like traditional down sounds good to you, we highly recommend adding this duvet to your cart.

    Promising review: "This comforter is awesome. The quality is great, especially for the price! It is warm so I probably wouldn't use it in the summer months but definitely perfect for fall and winter. It is so comfortable, cozy, and warm, yet breathable and lightweight at the same time. Perfect duvet insert."—Meghan O'Keefe

    Get a queen-size from Amazon for $23.81+ (available in sizes twin–oversized king and six colors).

    6. Or a super cozy, double-sided shaggy faux-fur duvet set — it'll transform your bed into your happy place when it's freeeeeeezing outside

    Amazon

    One side is faux-fur and the other side is plush velvet; the twin set comes with one pom-pom fringed pillow sham, and other size sets include two.

    Promising review: "If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I’d grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it and it's seriously so cozy and well-made. My only complaint would be how hard this thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. Also, the pillowcases are amazing. Super soft and the pom-pom fringe is adorable." —Sk

    Get it from Amazon for $51.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and 34 colors).

    7. A pair of opaque fleece-lined tights that somehow manage to be super warm without being bulky.

    Promising review: "I do not know how I managed to live 39 years before discovering fleece-lined tights. I purchased a pair of black and navy to take home to Wisconsin for the holidays. They are incredible. The fleece is beyond soft and it doesn't add any bulk to the tights (which I was concerned about). I was able to wear dresses in 20-degree weather without my legs turning into icicles, and they really helped keep my feet warm as well. I haven't washed them yet, but I am confident that they will continue to wear beautifully."" —Blondie, Esq.

    Get it from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in seven colors, two sizes, and packs of two).

    8. A roll of adhesive weather stripping to keep stealthy and, quite frankly, uninvited cold air from sneaking in through the cracks in your doors and windows. It's easy to install and can help keep your utilities bill from going through the roof when the weather is chilly.

    You'll get two seals (totaling 16 feet) that are 9 millimeters thick.

    Promising reviews: "Just received and installed. Quick and easy to install. One roll split in two covers one standard doorway. It works great at keeping the cold draft out. Stopped it completely. I’ll be using the other roll to fill gaps around a couple of window AC units. I would recommend this to friends and family." —Amazon Customer

    "I recently bought an older house where all the windows are out of square. These strips have filled the gaps. I have no doubt that my next electric bill will be significantly lower after applying these to all my windows." —Nolan

    Get a two-pack of 33-foot-long rolls from Amazon for $8.57+ (available in four colors and two sizes).

    9. *The Amazon Coat*, an oversized parka that is truly as impressively warm as it is stylish. Reviewers love the large fleece-lined hood, the generous number of pockets, and how well this coat protects you from the elements while still being very fashionable.

    Maitland Quitmeyer / BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer (that's her above) has this and loves it: "It's SO WARM!!!! I truly live in it all winter, and so do half the people I know at this point."

    Promising review: "Let me start by saying, my husband says that I am obsessed with coats. Out of probably 20 winter coats, this is now my absolute favorite! I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this coat; I love everything about it! The quality is outstanding! I have had every expensive brand-name winter coat, but have never ever had one that has kept me this warm! I I'm not even looking forward to the warmer months because I don't want to put this coat away!! Every time I wear it, I get at least one, 'I love your coat!'" —Suzi Linthorst

    Get it from Amazon for $149.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–5X, eight colors/styles, and with or without a fur trim).

    10. Or a stylish quilted puffer jacket for a more cropped look that's still super cozy!

    Check out a TikTok of the puffer jacket

    Reviewers say to size down! 

    Promising review: "I wore this during a trip to NYC. Temps ranged from the mid-40s to mid-50s, and this kept me warm, was comfy, and was cute with all of my outfits. And the best part: It has ample pocket space, so I didn't have to carry a clutch!" —Kandace

    Get it from Amazon for $75.99 (available in women's sizes XS–L and 13 colors). 

    11. A hydrating intense-therapy lip balm reviewers say is faster *and* more effective than other brands. Not only will it help quickly repair your chapped lips, but it'll also help protect them from the sun, wind, and extreme temps so you can kiss bleeding and cracks goodbye!

    Promising review: "My lips usually crack and bleed in the winter no matter what I put on them. This is literally the first winter ever that my lips are perfect. This is the best product I've ever used! It's nice and soft, not greasy. I've bought it for several coworkers who also suffer like I do. I hope they never stop making this!" —Mel Belle

    Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in six flavors and packs of three).

    12. Some smartphone-friendly thermal gloves designed to let you use your phone in cold temperatures without feeling like your fingers are gonna fall off.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I love these gloves. I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and today’s high was 22 degrees, and my hands didn’t get too cold. I had my gloves on and I could still use the functions on my phone. It also has a pretty good grip, as well." —Calvin

    Get them from Amazon for $5.54+ (available in sizes M–XL and in 12 colors).

    13. waterproof backseat protector in case your furry friend prefers to get covered in filth before tagging along for a ride. Now you won't have to worry about your car's backseats getting all scratched up or covered in fur, dirt, mud, water, and more.

    Promising review: "We go to the dog park a lot, and every so often it’s muddy. Now I don’t worry about my car seats. This protects them great. She’s also an avid car rider, and with the snow, rain, and whatever — again my seats are protected!! Love it!!"—Angela

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four colors and two sizes).

    14. Some shower steamers, which are essentially bath bombs for showers! Just place one in the corner of your shower to release calming fragrances while you warm your chilly bones.

    Promising review: "These are the best shower steamers I've ever tried. Usually they aren't strong enough or they melt too quickly to even enjoy. They are also bigger than what you can buy at the store. I'd say they are about a hockey puck size. One lasted my entire shower and still smelled amazing even after I was done. These are the best shower steamers hands down. I would definitely buy these again." —Krista

    Get it from Amazon for $13.29+ (available in a variety of styles and multpacks).

    15. A Mr. Coffee mug warmer so your favorite hot beverage doesn't go from toasty to lukewarm before you've barely had even a sip.

    Promising review: "It's going on a little over a year since I got this coffee warmer, and I felt I needed to let everyone know that this is the best coffee warmer I've gotten. I work 7 a.m.–5 p.m. and it is on the entire time, five to six days a week. It keeps my tea at just the right temperature. Not scalding or room temperature like other warmers I've purchased. The 60-inch cord is long enough to go across my large desk. The hot plate is 3.25 inches in diameter, making it the right size for even my large-bottomed coffee mug. It's not cumbersome having it sit on my desk." —Christin Fern

    Get it from Amazon for $18.41.

    16. Or a compact, waterproof coffee mug warmer that comes in a variety of colors for anyone with a more specific aesthetic.

    Promising review: "One of those items I didn’t know I needed until I had it. As a busy mom of two little ones, I can’t even remember the last time I got to finish a hot cup of coffee. Until now! This truly kept my coffee warm for literal hours. And I love the wood grain look of it. It’s nice and doesn’t look cheap at all. I’m going to keep it on my desk for when I’m working, and I’ll never go without hot coffee again!" —ADR80

    Get it from Amazon for $23.29+ (available in eight colors).

    17. Cozy handmade mittens here to warm your icey paws when the air around you feels like it's made of icicles.

    Ornute is a small business based in Minneapolis that sells cozy handmade fashion accessories and home decor.

    Promising review: "These were so well made! My daughter needed mittens that were warm during the cold walks on campus. These made me think of the mittens my grandma used to make me every year. Thank you!" —kate405

    Get it from Ornute on Etsy for $56.99+ (available in a variety of colors).

    18. A tough, extendable snow brush with a squeegee and ice scraper that'll quickly break through the mountain of ice that has somehow appeared on your windshield overnight.

    It also comes apart for storage or individual use if you prefer!

    Promising review: "This brush is by far the best brush I've ever had! I like that it extends so I can easily brush off my roof and the bristles are dense enough to move a good amount of material. The bristles are soft though so I don't have any worry about scratching my car. The ice scraper works very well without having to apply too much pressure and the squeegee part pushes water away easily. If you keep this in your car all year long it's even good to push water off your side windows from rain or morning dew!" —Leftymaggoo

    Get it from Amazon for $32.96+ (available in two sizes).

    19. Or a windshield cover if you'd rather not have to stand in the freezing cold scraping layers of ice off of your windshield every time you have to leave the house. Then maybe, just maybe, you'll hate winter a little less.

    It wraps around your wheels so it won't come off or let snow underneath!

    Promising review: "This is the best thing I could have ever bought! I bought one for myself, my mom, and my sister. New England just got slammed with a Nor'easter, and let me tell you...this thing works! It only took about five minutes to put on my car, and like five seconds to get it off this morning. No snow or ice anywhere on the wiper well or windshield. I highly recommend this!" —Shelley

    Get it from Amazon for $26.95+ (available in two sizes).

    20. Fuzzy earmuffs so your ears don't feel like they're gonna fall off every time you step out your front door.

    Promising review: "So cozy and comfortable!! They’re exceptionally soft, and they fold up for easy storage! I love them so much. Highly recommend!!" —MS

    Get them from Amazon for $14.95 (available in five colors).

    21. A powerful but gentle silicone paw cleaner here to make cleaning your pet's cute lil' feets way more effective *and* a lot less of a hassle — especially after they've been out in the snow. Just add water, insert filthy paws, give 'em a little twist, and dab till dry! 

    Reviewer dipping their dog's paw in the cleaner
    a clean paw above the green silicone tube with bristles

    No scrubbing, no pain, and no more dirt, mud, sand, ice melt, and other grime getting tracked around your otherwise spotless home. Sounds like a win-win!

    Promising review: "I’ve been using this for a few weeks, and I love it. It cleans the salt off my dogs’ paws so easily. When it’s super dirty and the streets are covered in salt, I’ll refresh the water supply. I add a few drops of their doggie shampoo, and it works great.  I have four dogs in NYC. I have to wash their feet after every walk because the streets are so filthy. It would take me about 10–15 minutes to clean their paws with a spray bottle and towel. Now, it takes about five minutes. And the towel doesn’t end up filthy. The dirt gets caught in the cup. Plus the dogs seem to like it. The silicone bristles must feel good. A huge thumbs-up!" —Sandra

    Get it from Amazon for $15.76+ (available in three sizes, eight colors, and with or without a lid).

    22. A suede-and-nubuck-cleaning brush capable of fighting stains from water, snow, dirt, salt, slush, and more all on its own so you can breathe a sigh of relief if your favorite shoes are having a rough winter.

    a reviewer photo of a pair of black suede boots covered in dirt
    a reviewer photo of the same boots now clean

    You can totally use it with another cleaner or spray if you want, but it seems like reviewers have success without! It just takes some elbow grease.

    Promising review: "I am very impressed with this product. I was new to suede shoes and instantly regretted buying a gray-colored shoed once I got them dirty. Luckily, I found this lovely thing. Very easy to use. A straightforward packet comes with it that tells you which sides to use and when. I would definitely recommend this. Since you invest so much in shoes, you might as well keep them nice and clean!" —Celeste

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

    23. A classic Carhartt watch hat that's stylish and timeless, ensuring that you'll always look cool while feelin' warm.

    Reviewer wearing beanie in black

    Promising review: "Now I’m a HOT girl...literally. 🔥 This beanie right here is church! It keeps me so warm in this NYC winter weather 🥶 plus it’s stylish. I have worn this beanie, a hoodie, and sweats outside and was still warm which makes sense since most of the heat comes from the head, and best of all, it fits my big head and my thick hair which is a nightmare to find beanies for my head that fit or even look right...now the struggle is OVER." —t.

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in a variety of colors).

    24. A jetted bathtub cleaner so you can have a freshly cleaned tub to relax and warm up in after a long, cold day instead of feeling like you're cooking in a bacteria soup. This septic-safe cleaner makes the job super easy.

    reviewer holding bottle of Oh Yuk with jetted tub in background, brown gunk visible in water
    a bunch of brown gunk coming out of jets in a reviewer's bathtub

    Just fill up the bath, add a quarter of the bottle, wait 15 minutes for it to clean all the gross residue, then drain the tub! Each bottle cleans about four times, and it's septic safe. Check it out in action (and some very gross results) in this TikTok!

    Oh Yuk is a small, family-owned business based in Minnesota that specializes in PhD chemist-formulated cleaning products for home appliances, from dishwashers and washing machines to hot tubs and jetted bathtubs.

    Promising review: "I wish I could give this stuff 10 stars. I've been using my jetted tub daily for almost two years. Never seen any sign of issues with gunk in the pipes, but I thought I'd give this stuff try as part of my spring cleaning. OH. MY. WORD. I followed the directions on the website, not the bottle because the bottle directions are for maintenance and not the initial clean. For the initial clean I filled the tub, turned on the jets and added 6 ounces of Oh Yuk. Ran it for about an hour. It got pretty sudsy but not too bad. When I came to check, I found this slimy green grossness around the tub. So disgusting!!!!! I am going to run this monthly and will be buying the gallon next time because I never want to be without this stuff." —Elizabeth

    Get it from Amazon for $17.84.

    25. A cozy sweater for anyone who wants to spend the entire winter feeling like they're wrapped up in a warm cloud!

    Get it from Comma for $85+ (originally $169; available in two sizes and two colors).

    27. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey that'll add a warming kick to your hot beverage, cocktail, dinner, dessert — THERE ARE NO RULES! This honey is infused with chili peppers for a sweet and spicy combo that's not overwhelmingly hot, but adds a complex flavor reviewers can't get enough of. It's also super soothing for sore throats and colds.

    Promising review: "Lovely in tea. This is my new sore throat reliever. Stirred into hot tea, it’s not intensely hot at all, but adds a soothing warm sweetness that really helped." —CAM

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in multipacks).

    And check out our full Mike's Hot Honey review for more on why this stuff is so great.

    28. A blanket scarf because it's an excuse to basically wear a cozy blanket in public, which sounds like a win to me.

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga loves this scarf: "I love wrapping it around myself on cold days for an extra layer of warmth *and* an added touch of style. They usually contain a whole bunch of colors in it so a single scarf coordinates nicely with an array of my outfits."

    Promising review: "This is a lot nicer than I thought it would be: It's really really soft and, because it's so big, it's warm, too, if you wrap it around your neck a few times. It's also really versatile: The first time I wore it I ended up using it as a blanket. I wear it nearly every day and have gotten a lot of compliments on it. I might get another one (or two). Love this thing." —madison

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in eight styles).

    29. Mid-calf lace-up boots perfect for when the snow, ice, and low temps arrive — you'll truly appreciate their slip-resistant outsole and warm faux fur lining. PLUS, they have a secret small zipper pocket if you need somewhere safe to keep cards and extra cash!

    a reviewer wearing the boots in brown

    Promising review: "I love these boots! My feet are always cold at work, but I stand for nine hours straight every day, so I have to be comfortable. These are the first boots I have found that I am comfortable in standing all day. They have fur on the inside and are soft. The boot has a little wiggle room, so I can wear thick socks without them being tight. They have good traction for walking around outside in snow or ice. I can’t say enough about how great these boots are! You won’t be disappointed!" —MamaMoRx

    Get it from Amazon for $46.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and in five colors). 

    30. A small but powerful personal space heater that'll make drafty rooms more comfy when the chilly weather moves in.

    Promising review: "I bought this to use under my desk to keep my feet warm. It's perfect and as you can see it's little (about the size of a medium coffee), so it's not in the way of me hitting it with my feet. There's a safety button on the bottom so the heater stops working when it's tipped over, picked up, or not on a level surface. I like that feature a lot. Definitely recommend purchasing if you need a little heater at a decent price!" —Ta2dmom

    Get it from Amazon for $22.82 (available in four colors).

    31. And a soothing hot water bottle for those nights when you're *still* freezing even though you've cocooned yourself in every single blanket you possess. It even comes with a knit cozy to keep your skin safe from any potential burning. You can also use it as an ice pack!

    This hot water bottle cannot be microwaved. We recommend this one if you need a microwavable option.

    Promising review: "Perfect for cold winter nights! We got two hot water bottles, one for me and one for my husband. We love them! It takes the chill out of the bed. We used to fight over who would get in first to warm up the bed. We just heat water in the kettle and pour it in. It stays warm until the morning. (And the little sweater covers are so cute!) Our cat likes to lay on it too! Only be careful as you pour the water into the bottle." —Dale Ann

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in eight colors).

    32. And finally, an oversized knitted sweater vest in case you need an extra layer to keep you warm while also giving you a major upgrade in the style department.

    Promising review: "Love this! Well worth the price! I ordered a medium so that it wouldn’t be too oversized and look awkward. And it fits perfect!! I paired it with a white turtleneck underneath, but the options are limitless here. Was surprised at the quality of this item...it’s very soft and thick. Which wasn’t what I expected at all. My only real complaint is the price of the item. However, this item is very trendy, so I understand. Would definitely, and might, buy again very soon!" —Jon Evans
