Napping to Hallmark Christmas movies is one of my favorite Saturday-afternoons-in-December pastimes! I've spent some very cozy nights in watching some of Britbox's offerings (they often air on PBS too): As Time Goes By stars Judy Dench and is a total delight, and Vera is my newest favorite procedural, set in northern England — perfectly gloomy!

Promising review: "I have been using bath bombs for years. I've used cheap brands, drugstore brands, luxury brands (Lush, YL) and more. This box gives all bath bombs I've tried a run for the money! The packaging was super cute and totally giftable. I was really impressed at the quality of the bath bomb itself too (I used Heal tonight) and I love that this uses natural essential oils. During this COVID-19 outbreak, I have had a lot of stress and anxiety and have enjoyed a bath nearly every night for the past week. This bomb gave me the most serene experience and they are HUGE! At least double the size of ones I've used before. Comparable to the size of Lush bombs. I will definitely purchase this box again when I run out and honestly it's a great price at a little more than $2 a piece. You really can't beat it!" —Heather H

Get it from Amazon for $31.95.
Promising review: "I just had to treat myself with this pillow — and what a treat it is. The pillow is soft but still gives enough support for your head and neck. The suction cups are doing a good job holding the pillow in place. This takes taking a bath onto a whole new level! I am sure this pillow makes a great gift as well. I can definitely recommend it!" —Garret M.

Promising review: "I AM IN LOVE! I purchased this on a whim and I couldn't be happier with my purchase....I actually plan on getting these as Christmas gifts. I love the wood grain look. I thought (judging by the size of it) that it would not really be able to push that much of the aroma throughout the room, but pleasantly, I was wrong. I put a few essential oils in it and ran it on the six-hour setting, and it just fills your room with whatever scent your essential oils have. I love the various color options, they aren't incredibly bright in a dark room which makes sleeping easier because in general I prefer the room to be completely dark. It is overall quiet which is also a nice bonus. I actually like the appearance and thought it kind of elevated my room in a zen-like manner. I hope this little beauty lasts me a while because I would happily fork out even double the price I paid." —Beng2016

Promising review: "I really like this blanket for relaxing. I am always cold while lounging around and this blanket keeps my entire body warm and it is do soft. I like the length of the sleeves, they offer much room for my hands and the pocket is great because it holds my phone or remote." —Tameca

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S–2X and 19 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "Great fabric! Nice buttons. Feels like a high quality men's t-shirt. Plenty roomy to sleep in but will work under clothes for extra warmth as well. I bought black so I can wear them during day when I need to relax. Great product. Especially if you're living in freezing temperatures. I like that it's cotton so it breathes well at night. Great product. I agree with others it would have been nice to have back flap but I wouldn't wear it as much around house if it did. Don't hesitate!" —Summer Lee
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 12 colors).
Promising review: "Extremely impressed with the high quality and great price of this scarf. DOES NOT look cheap...I own an Acne Studios wool scarf ($250 retail) and would say while this one is a bit lighter weight (still super warm and cozy) it is comparable in style, color and quality to my Acne scarf. Would definitely buy again—both for myself and as a gift." —Natalie

Promising review: "LOVE LOVE these!!! Not only are they cute and adorable, but also very functional. I bought these because of my frustration with other products I've tried that left marks on my hardwood floors. My chair legs are thick and I was worried they might not fit, but they stretched nicely and did not slip or slide off. I have tried several other options from rubber tips to felt pads and all of them fall or slide off after a while. We use our chairs every day, multiple times a day and they have not worn out. They very obviously prevent scratches. They look like the chairs have gotten socks to keep their legs warm with these cat paws. Excellent design and manufacture with a nice dose of whimsy. I will definitely buy more of these just to have as back up." —Zhangsu
The knit and crewneck makes it look put together, and the little vents on both sides are just too cute. Just add your fave leggings!

Promising review: "This sweater is AMAZING! I love everything about it! The fit is perfect, the fabric is super soft and the color is beautiful. The sweater is not see-thru and is very warm and cozy! I love the collar height/shape and also the side slit, both make this sweater quite unique! I can’t wait to order more colors!!" —Leslie Gilliam

Promising review: "Okay, I don’t normally rave about things like this. I bought this on a whim in last attempts to save my favorite duvet cover. The pills had gotten to the point where it was seriously uncomfortable to sleep with them getting all up in my leg space. I thought I was going to have to get a new duvet cover entirely. Along came this lil baby. Not only is my duvet cover basically brand new, but I have found a new hobby. I’m depilling everything. Sweatshirts, leggings, blankets, socks, anything that looks like it needs some love. It does the job quickly and leaves everything looking fresh. Hi, I’m obsessed. I can’t stop. I should send this back. I’ve started asking if my neighbors need anything depilled. I’m going to buy one of these for everyone in my life. Everyone needs to own this. Take it away from me." —Sydney Jensen

Promising review: "These are awesome flameless candles. They actually look like real flames with the way they have made them. They are a believable brightness and they flicker really nicely. The remote is easy to use and though each candle uses AA batteries, they last a very long time. I've had these for over 7 months, turn them on almost every night for 3-4 hours, and have not had to change the batteries yet. The candles are real wax and, overall, this is a high quality product. I would recommend (and have) to anyone looking for something like this." —Martin Richard Zefelippo

Promising review: "I am already in LOVE with this jacket! It is so cozy it actually makes it difficult to get my work done sitting at a computer because I want to cuddle and nap. It's incredibly warm and comfortable. It's oversized so even if you get your normal size it will fit loosely, which is nice for layering. I will probably get another one." —Tiffany M.
Get two panels from Amazon for $30.95 (available in three sizes and 23 colors).
Promising review: "Best blackout curtains ever for the price. I've shopped all over and these are truly what they are advertised. I didn't think I would need blackouts, but I work nights and sleep till noon and these are absolutely perfect. The color is a rich navy which are difficult to find in store. Trust me when I say, I went everywhere: Lowes, Home Depot & Home Goods, Tuesday morning, Ross, TJ Maxx, Walmart, Target. No place had them in this color for this price. I love, love, love, Amazon Prime because I wasn't sure if these were going to work out, but they are above and beyond what I expected." —Josie Holdridge
Get it from Amazon for $79.95 (available in 14 colors).
Promising review: "MY mom likes to watch tv in bed but was always worried about her posture—she has osteoporosis and her pillow just made her slouch too much. Got the Husband Pillow for her for Christmas and she LOVES it! It’s much taller and provides better back support. The added neck pillow is buttoned in and can be adjusted, so you can get it at just the right angle. Plus there’s a big zipper on the bottom so you can wash the cover...her other pillow didn’t have that. I just tried it and wow...looks like I may be ordering two more for my husband and I! Guess we’ll see how it holds up over time...keeping our fingers crossed." —Dawn Ayers

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four colors).
Promising review: "These (I bought two) have made a tremendous difference to me this winter. They're in my pockets or inside my gloves, usually on the lowest setting, as I'm out walking my dog, throwing her tennis ball, giving her treats. Often my hands are out in the cold, as gloves make the ball-throwing, etc., difficult. These rechargeables heat them up again and make me feel warm all over. I plug them into USB ports on my computer for easy charging. I'm so grateful to have them! They get very warm on higher settings and really do a great job." —Marsha L.S.

Promising review: "This is the softest blanket you'll ever feel. It keeps you warm and does not overheat. It the the best throw/ accent blanket we have ever had for our living room, including our electric blankets (which can get you too warm and are not as soft). Wish we would have gotten the twin size, since everyone in the house (including the cat) like to use it. We'll probably end up getting another one!" —Kristen Madrigal

Promising review: "I bought these for myself and my mother and daughter-in-law to wear to an outdoor wedding in Montana. There was snow on the ground and we all had cozy, warm legs! We were all amazed as to just how comfortable these tights are. They feel like heaven when you slip them on. Our ages ranged from thirties to eighties and they fit each of us perfectly. I wish these came in more colors. These are absolutely the nicest tights that I have ever worn!" —Lync

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).
Promising review: "These are a must have! I couldn’t believe how easy these were to apply. The material is very easy to cut with normal scissors and I was able to lay it on the door cut the exact length apply and noticed and immediate difference! We bought these for two doors leaking cold air into the house but it’ll also double to keep little bugs out! The material is very bendable which is nice if you open the door and it’s long it doesn’t damage anything it’s very rubbery." —Lindsay T.

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $27.99 (available in sizes 5-9 and 8-13 and three color sets).
Promising review: "These socks have just changed my life. I am not even kidding. I suffer all of the time from feet that are painfully cold when the temperature outside is anything less than about 75 F. It is horrible. I wear double socks with slippers; still have cold feet. Always having them tucked under a few thick blankets while watching tv, etc., but still feeling the cold in my feet. Well, I saw the reviews and ordered these. I put them on this evening, put on my usual slippers, and shortly after I felt like I had an electric heater inside my socks. They feel so very warm and toasty. I have never had a sock that could do this. Even thick wool socks don’t do this. MY FEET ARE ACTUALLY WARM which is something that rarely ever happens. I am in LOVE with these socks. I could kiss whoever invented them." —Linda Marie Nutter
They have eight light settings (including twinkle, steady on, and waves) for a little extra fun too! They're even waterproof to use outside.

Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four styles)
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
