Promising review: "Stunning! Pictures don’t do it justice. It is SOOOO soft and HEAVY. I bought the ivory, and it is a creamy white with NO yellow to it at all. The price was the best I have found for this size. Don’t go for the acrylic knock-offs. This wool is the real deal and the only choice in my opinion. LOVE IT!" —Karen Herdman

Promising review: "I bought this scarf because I am an everyday scarf wearer in the cooler weather. I think this scarf complements every outfit I put it with. It is not small, it is thick, and the colors look exactly like the picture. I like that I can use it as a shawl and not just a scarf. I've received many compliments wearing this scarf. I'm actually wearing it today because it was snowing! It is long enough where I can tie it in different ways and doesn't look or feel cheap. The scarf does not scratch at my neck. If you are looking for a quality scarf, I would recommend. I will be purchasing another!" —Jennifer Williams

Promising review: "I bought the gray fur blanket, and HOLY SMOKES this is the most comfortable blanket I think I’ve ever bought. Was meant to be decor and not really used, but I can’t keep it off of me — it’s so soft. I was very surprised by how good of quality it seems, especially for the price. Big enough to cover two people up easily. I’d compare the feeling of the faux fur to something like bunny’s fur, and the Sherpa is very soft as well. Has some decent weight to it, and I’ve found it to be very warm so far. All in all, good for the money." —Kaylee Morris

Promising review: "I specifically purchased this item because I could feel a draft coming from under my front door. I live in the Northeast, so a draft can be -10 degrees some days during the winter. I cleaned the install area well and let that area dry for a bit. I then measured out my door with the strip and marked the spot with a pencil (measured twice to be sure!). After cutting and installing, I used a paper towel to rub and press the draft stopper into the door for at least five minutes. NO DRAFT." —RemyJax

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! I even tried to wear with just a T-shirt, no sweaters/layers underneath, to see if I felt cold...nothing. No cold! Boomshakalaka! It's also so stylish, roomy, has a thousand pockets (goodbye, purse!), and looks different from all the rest out there." —Zhure

Promising review: "Honestly, I didn't know what to expect from such an inexpensive faux-fur stole, but WOW, I was pleasantly surprised! The fur is silky smooth and looks close to real. It is a great size...not too large, not too small! It has an unnoticeable loophole, so the stole can stay put instead of sliding everywhere and having to 'hold on' to it with clenched arms. I bought this for my Great Gatsby dress, and it fits in perfectly with the dress. If you are considering... I say put it in your cart and check out!! You won't be disappointed!" —rjv4EVER

Promising review: "I have researched so many coffee heaters and am glad I decided on this one. No matter how long I drink, it definitely keeps my coffee hot. I also like that it has three settings. I really like the design of this style and color, and the heating speed is very fast! If you want hot coffee and you like fashion, I think this coffee mug warmer is a good choice!" —Merino Roychoudhury

I got this faux-shearling jacket for Christmas, and I have worn it tons since! It is soft, cozy, warm, and pretty much everything I want in a jacket. I love that it fits oversized so I can easily wear it over a sweater or hoodie. The front pockets are deep and easily fit my phone without feeling like it's going to fall out. And of course, I think it's really cute and stylish. For less than $35 (!!), I might even grab another color.
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in sizes S–3X and 34 colors and styles).
Promising review "GUYS, OMG, this jacket is definitely a hidden gem. It's so soft and makes you look so sophisticated!! It does shed a little at first, so definitely wash this before you wear it unless you want little specks all over your clothes — I learned the hard way LOL. However, I wore this outfit pictured in 50-degree weather, and it kept me warm! This is definitely one of those 'blanket-but-make-it-fashion' pieces HAHA. I love it so much." —@Kathy_Vu

The design features a fluted, no-drip spout and a degree dial that allows you to set the temperature between 135 and 212 degrees Fahrenheit and even hold it there for a full hour.
Promising review: "We waffled about getting this kettle. Surely the cheapie electric one we had would do the trick for amateur pour-over enthusiasts? No. Wrong. This is superior in every aspect. The temperature holding feature is amazing — no more heating up the water, forgetting you started, and having to heat it up again. Definitely more consistent in temperature, creating more consistent cups of coffee." —Emily A.

Promising review: "I have never written a review before, but I feel compelled to for this product. I moved into an apartment where the radiator schedule is out of my control. It gets very cold in the evening, and I was looking for a space heater to warm up my living/office area. I must admit, I was fully expecting this heater to be bigger, as it looks large in the photos. It’s really just a desk heater. However, it is SO WARM. I’ve only been using it for a day, but it really does warm up my entire living/office area. Though I had to dock a star for the false sense of size, I am very happy with my purchase. Not to mention it is very sleek looking and fits the decor in my living space very well." —Madiha M.

Promising review: "Wow, this has really changed my quality of life in the office! My building is always freezing. This helps keep 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: "Another grand-slam slouchy! Machine washable and dryable. Looks good on everyone, from baldies to shaved heads to full-on Stevie Nicks types. The cable knitting is the real deal. However, this hat doesn't make you sweat indoors. How they do this, I am not sure, 'cause it is cotton and light, but it keeps me warm, outside in winter weather — including snow — yet doesn't put me into a coma when worn in a coffee house or movie theater. Go figure. Then go buy this hat." —Darsen

Promising review: "Bought him to help with my endometriosis cramping. I’m so happy with my purchase! Not only is he cute, he is also very soothing. He is weighted, so he feels slightly heavy. When heated he is warm and smells oh so lovely of lavender. He works wonderfully for cramps. I would also recommend him for children. He would make a great soothing companion. For a stuffed animal he seems to have lots of character/personality. Kudos to whomever designed this guy!" —Marie May
