Promising review: "This is perfect for my needs. I've been able to take out and use the inside water pouch for hiking in the summer, and the insulated pouch for snowboarding in the winter. So much value! I'm very happy with my purchase." —jollii
Get it from Camelback for $55.
Promising review: "This is such a great buy, and it's perfect for fall weather. It looks more expensive than it is, and it's well-made. I've had mine about three weeks now, and it hasn't shed once on me. It's very trendy, and I highly recommend this jacket!" —jann25
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in five colors and sizes S–3XL).
Promising review: "My dog is sensitive to textures, and this winter coat really meets his needs. The shearling lining is very soft, which he prefers over the typical winter coat lining. It is very easy to slip on and off and gives enough space below to make sure he does not wet on the coat when doing his business. This is my first coat from Fab Dog brand and I am very happy." —MarkA
Get it from Chewy for $40 (available in two colors and nine sizes).
Promising review: "I absolutely love this heated seat for my vehicle! Cold winters with leather seats are not a great combination and this soft seat heats up within two minutes of plugging in and stays warm. I am a naturally cold person who usually cannot get enough heat, but this gets almost too warm where I can shut if off before my 30 minute drive to and from work is over. I love it for my lower back pain as well. I will use this seven months out of the year for sure! Excellent product!" —Stevie

The garland is 5" tall, 5" deep, and 72" long.
Promising review: "This beautiful, festive garland gave the fireplace mantle the homey Christmas look. It's a lovely touch." —Blake and Maureen
Get it from Wayfair for $49.95.
This is also great for noise reduction and preventing some critters and creepy crawlies from making their way in.
Promising review: "So easy to set up! All you do is peel tape and adhere to a CLEAN and DRY door. Also looks great, I don't even notice it. I had a huge gap under my door. I could smell and hear everything from the hallway. Smells, drafts, and sound all are less of an issue now." —Brit B.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).
Promising review: "This product works great! I love the telescoping function – the press of a button adjusts the length and locks it in place at increments, with the ability to adjust the brush end at angles. It's well designed and well worth the price IMO, and I'm a mechanical engineer by trade. The brush end didn't clog up the snow around the bristles like I've experienced with some lower quality brushes. The squeegee side opposite the brush is a nice feature and works well to do a final pass along the window after brushing snow off the windshield. The scraper works great too. I will definitely buy another for my spouse." —Tamara J. Phillips
Get it from Amazon for $25.86.
It has three different depth settings you can adjust depending on the fabric. This needs two AA batteries, not included.
Promising review: "So I didn't think it through when I threw some dark shirts and sweaters in the wash with a couple of light towels. They came out with all those fuzzies. I ordered one of these based on the price and average customer review and I can see why this was rated so high. It takes two AA batteries and is very comfortable to hold. Since it's so portable, I just sat on the couch and shaved two shirts and a pair of cottony exercise pants while watching tv. I probably would have never worn these items (at least not outside the house!) again if it wasn't for this great little gadget." —Paula Nelson
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in five colors).
Promising review: "When I tried these on I immediately fell in love. They're sooo soft and warm! Plus they're super comfortable! I'd tell anyone who likes them to just buy them. Thank me later." —Heather
Get them from Rack Room Shoes for $49.95.
Promising review: "Love these boot toppers/leg warms. I live in Boston so we have long winters. This packet had all the necessary colors and I wear these a lot to work with my cute outfits, dresses, skirts. They are made well and look really cute." —Joan M. McNamara
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 10 styles).
One of my BuzzFeed coworker's went into detail about why so many people are obsessed with this hand cream.
Promising review: "I have suffered from splitting and cracking fingers every fall and winter for years. I tried Eucerin, Lubriderm, and Gold Bond creams, but none seemed to relieve the splitting from reoccurring. I tried O'Keeffe's Working Hand Cream and within two-and-a-half days, the splitting and cracking were no longer a factor. Since using the cream, I have not suffered any more cracking or splitting. I am on a busy schedule and only use it at night when I go to bed. It says it's non-greasy but you can definitely feel a slick texture on your hands once applied. That's why I use it at night before bed when I don't have to open door knobs, touch smartphones, or shake hands. It has the texture of cake icing, goes on smooth and works into the skin quickly. It has no smell I can detect. I am so glad I found this cream, it has ended years of split and cracked fingers/hands." —T.H.
Get it from Amazon for $8.45.
Promising review: "This is great quality for the price. I love the deep pockets for your keys, phone, and wallet." —Sue
Get it from Target for $65 (available in four colors and sizes 0X–4X).
Promising review: "I do not claim to understand the science behind these tiny miracles, but they have changed my life. I spent my workday looking forward to going home and putting one of these bad boys on my newly erupted Mt. Zit and the overnight results were shocking. Not only is it grossly satisfying, but it saved me several days of walking around with a bloody crater in my face because my previous method of dealing with unsightly blemishes was to pick pick pick." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
Just put the double-sided tape around the frame of your window, apply the film, and use a blowdryer to suction it around the window (which prevent leaks or cracks). This will help keep heat in your home, without even being noticeable once it's on.
Promising review: "This product kept my apartment warm and toasty last winter! I live in an older 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 a month compared to the 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

To be fair, the cold drains my body of all energy too. All of it.
Promising review: "You can charge and iPhone X from start to finish three plus times in full with this charger before you need to charge it. It is compact, durable, and just a fantastic overall device. The device comes with the charger itself, a mesh bag to carry/store it in, and a cord to charge the device." —Andrew Peterson
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four colors).
Promising review: "This is great if your skin gets dry, especially after washing. It's thick at first and definitely takes a little bit to sink in, but it keeps my skin hydrated all day and into the next day as well (if I forgot to wash my face/apply more). I'm acne prone and this has not broken me out at all. Could not recommend more if you just want something basic you can trust." —GJKennedy
Get it from Sephora for $14.
I have a Blunt umbrella and basically just wait for rainy days so I can show it off. I got the compact version and love how easy it is to keep in my bag. It's shockingly strong, there's never a moment when I feel like wind could blow it inside out and (unlike every umbrella I've been unlucky enough to own) it hasn't leaked once.
Promising review: "This was the best money spent for a quality umbrella. I have used it in very windy weather without any issues. I was with several friends who were using standard run-of-the-mill cheap umbrellas which all flipped inside out and broke. This umbrella didn’t even show any signs of possible strain. I ended up buying a second one so my husband could also have one." —Anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $59 (available in 10 colors).
Promising review: "If you want the smell of a Christmas tree, this is the closest candle I have ever found. When it burns it really does burn the fragrance (unlike cheap candles). I love the smell of this candle, it is refreshing and not too sweet. It is expensive but worth it! So far it has been lasting...last Christmas we would burn it almost all day and all the time and it is not more than maybe a 1/4 gone, if even that!" —Jacqueline Shaw
Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in three sizes).
Promising review: "This is a great travel jacket. It can easily be carried in your purse or bag. It is a very light windbreaker with a hood. If you want warmth it can be used as a layer with a hoodie or sweater. I love the color and the price was great." —Lacy
Get it from Under Armour for $97.99 (available in two colors and sizes S–XL).
Promising review: "These bad boys are a TOTAL back saver!! I've ordered five of them. I have a crew of four up on the roof of our motel clearing off over 3' of snow (on a 300 ft. run of roof!!) and they love them too. I've shoveled several hundred pounds of the white stuff myself and, I gotta tell ya, I will NEVER use a 'regular' snow shovel again! Having that extra handle is a godsend!! If you're aging or a young buck that just needs something that will fling the snow WAY out of the way, get yourself one or more of these! You'll LOVE it!!" —MotelMan
Get it from Amazon for $18.64+ (available in two colors).
Promising review: "I love this light. It makes me feel way better when it's grim and dark and wintery. It's very bright, and just what I was looking for. I guess my cat missed the sun too, because she makes a point of lying in front of it when it's on. Light therapy for elderly cats: highly recommended. Light therapy for people: also recommended." —Jessa
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
Promising review: "These are awesome booties. These babies stay on. My dog runs, jumps, and does everything she normally does. We live in the 'burbs of Chicago. We walk a couple of miles a day. Our neighborhood has no side walks. When it sleets or snows, road salt is an issue. As most dogs do, she likes to off road it, so we're in the snow, on the street, repeat. These keep her paws from getting packed up with snow and salt. Initially, it's kind of a hassle getting them on, but it gets easier. If you buy them, put them on your dog in the house and let figure them out. And strap 'em down good." —Earshplitten

This includes an extra battery and a charger.
Promising review: "I waited until I could use the snow blower and today with the blizzard that hit NY I have to say this item surpassed my expectation. Not only was the assembly a breeze (it took 10 minutes to put it together) when I finally tested this baby on the snow boy was it just amazing. I was able to clear out my parking space and around my vehicle in about 20 minutes. It was super fast. I highly recommend this product! Best part it also comes with the battery and charger unlike others that you have to buy those separately." —Jen A.

Promising review: "I love the Barryvox S. This beacon is easy to use and outperforms other beacons on the market by reach and signal strength. I have taught a few friends to use the Barryvox S and its intuitive usability even in stressful situations is above the rest. I feel comfortable going in the backcountry with people who only have a couple hours of training under their belt with the Barryvox S. This would not be the case with other beacons as they do not instruct the user what to do!" —Elias
Get it from Backcountry for $499.95.
Promising review: "Add some toast to your toes! These made my shoes soooo toasty and comfortable. I wore these shoes barefoot or with no show socks this past year. With these inserts, I'm in snuggle heaven even at work." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two colors).
Promising review: "Wow, from the price, I expected it to not be very great quality or durability. However, this was a magical surprise. I got it in cream/off white. It's a beautiful cream color and is thick and solid in its construction. I'm totally impressed. I have paid more for other scarves that were much thinner and flimsy. This is warm and sturdy. The ribbing is great. I wear it constantly. It is not overly long, though, so wrapping it twice around your neck makes for a very fitted look. If you don't like a snug scarf, the double wrap might not be for you." —ASweitzer
Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in 37 colors).
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 $8.
Promising review: "I didn't write this review until we'd had the thing installed for about two months. It appears to be very easy to keep clean, definitely resists staining, etc, and is sturdy. The instructions say to keep the lid down to maximize heat, and that is a must – with the lid up, the seat is lukewarm. But when you keep the lid down, it's toasty, which is SUCH a luxury when you stumble into the bathroom at 3AM. My wife thought this was the silliest thing in the world. She mocked me, until the moment she sat on it. Now she tells me, 'Every time I sit down in the bathroom, it makes me smile.' Totally worth the investment!" —Jim Smith
Get it from Amazon for $79.95.
Promising review: "This made with a very comfortable, stretchy fabric. The zipper is tiny, to help it stay hidden, but has not failed. The openings have accommodated my needs to nurse comfortably. It also sits nice when zipped up. The best part is how long the sweatshirt is!" —Alyson
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in 16 colors and sizes S–XXL).
Promising review: "I wear tights in the winter months only (I live in Northeastern Pennsylvania). This is a brand I would source out many times over. The tights are soft (not itchy) and thick but not binding and they keep their shape after several washings. They're pretty too, the herringbone pattern is quite classy and can dress up a basic skirt well. Five star rating!!!" —Barbi
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in six colors and two sizes).
Promising review: "Just in the past 24 hours this has helped me remove four vehicles out of snow banks they had run into! One was a four wheel drive SUV with two front tires stuck in a snow bank. One was a BIG pickup truck with four wheel drive that had spun around and its rear driver's side tire was impacted in the snow bank. One was a sporty all wheel drive car that had its front driver's side tire impacted and high centered. One was a nice Buick that just could not keep on the driveway because of ice (front wheel drive). AWESOME! It impressed every person I helped. I bought one of these after a delivery truck got stuck in a neighbor's yard. He pulled out his set and in a few minutes he was on the road again!" —Richard S.

Promising review: "Wow, what a great product. I’ve transitioned from a regular coffee cup to this. I was always reheating my coffee but no longer. This mug keeps my coffee hot for a minimum of two hours. Allowing me to get a few things done around the house while I enjoy my coffee here and there. I love it!" —Kendra Hubrick
