1. A pair of fleece-lined joggers to keep your legs nice and toasty if you're always complaining about how cold it is.
Promising review: "My mother is a frail 88-year-old who is always cold. My sister has to go outside to do the shoveling during winter. These fleece-lined sweatpants are PERFECT! I purchased 6 pairs total. My mother lives in hers and my sister shovels in hers and they keep her warm inside the house and out. They are comfortable to wear. I highly recommend them." —Renee Vincent
Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 21 colors/styles).
2. A pair of fleece-lined tights for anyone who believes mini skirts are winter weather staples — very true! — but who has been shivering in regular pantyhose. They're also fabulous for wearing under jeans for extra warmth.
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. I give a 5-star rating!!!" —Barbi
Get them from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in four colors and two sizes).
3. A powerful snail repair cream that'll help brighten dull skin, fade discoloration, and add plumpness after harsh winter weather has taken its toll. Snail mucin extract is a popular ingredient in K-beauty products and is rich in hyaluronic acid (hydrates) and glycolic acid (stimulates collagen production).
Promising review: "I'm 55 years old and my skin is a bit sensitive. I don't have a lot of wrinkles, but I'm definitely noticing a few more laugh lines and forehead crinkles than I had a few years ago! I've tried several moisturizers and have not been terribly impressed with any of them until now. This stuff really is great — incredibly hydrating without feeling greasy and it absorbs quickly. It feels great on my skin. In just a few short weeks, I definitely notice an improvement in my skin tone and fewer lines and wrinkles! I will definitely be ordering this product again. I use it in the evening and morning; no need for two different moisturizers. Very pleased!" —sbakey
Get it from Amazon for $20.
4. A pair of traction pads so you're not spinning your tires helplessly after a snowfall or in sandy or muddy conditions, or worse: forced to pay someone else to tow your car.
Promising review: "I got my truck stuck in some very deep snow last week (Montana, where there's enough snow in early November to get you stranded). Nothing was working to get me out and I had to abandon the truck for a few days to figure out my next move, which likely was to pay for a wrecker to come out and see what they could do. I wasn't looking forward to that, as I was about 60 miles from the nearest town and there was really no way to get any type of tow truck in the area. First thing I did when I got home was to order a set of these. Well, they worked. I dug out some of the snow/ice that kept the truck from moving, put these mats under the front tires and in all of about 5 seconds, I was out. No damage to the mats, no damage to the truck, and I'm sure I saved a ton of towing money by buying these. They will have a home in my truck from here on out." —Meir
Get a pair from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in three colors).
5. A moisturizing saline gel if you're a drippy, sneezy mess and are constantly blowing your nose, which has led to some not-infrequent nosebleeds (so fun!). Reviewers who use CPAP machines swear by this stuff, as do airplane travelers (dry airplane air!).
Promising review: "My girlfriend had recommended this product to me and I only purchased a very small tube not knowing if I would be satisfied or not. It really IS a good product. It helps put moisturize your nose. In the winter my nose gets dry from the heat and humidity, and I needed something to moisturize it. This product really IS excellent. I purchased a small tube not knowing if I would like it or not and I do. It's not costly, helps you, and is well worth the price." —SB
Get it from Amazon for $3.62.
6. A jetted tub cleaner because snowy wintery nights are the perfect excuse for an evening soak. This cleans the inside of your tub — y'know, the part you can't reach — flushing out soap scum, body oils, and those black flakes that gunk up your tub's jets so you can relax in a clean tub.
Promising review: "They don't call this Oh Yuk for no reason. I previously used Jacuzzi's two-part system and this worked sooo much better. I was totally embarrassed not to mention grossed out at how much funk came out. It was NASTY! It definitely cleans your tub. You will probably have to clean the sides of your tub after it's finished because of how much stuff might come out. I swear I clean my tub on a regular basis, but I was amazed at how much better this worked. Highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.84.
7. A pair of leaf scoops to treat your knees and back to some ~re-leaf~ while cleaning the yard.
Promising review: "We have a very large wooded property that requires a lot of leaves and sticks to be raked up. We have tried various brands of leaf scoops but most lasted not even one season. Since purchasing the ReLeaf Leaf Scoops are job has been much easier. First of all is the way your hands grasp the scoops. These are much more ergonomic and are actually like extensions of your own hands. Second, these are very sturdy and do not bend when trying to pick up a pile of sticks and debris. We have made it through the season so far without issue. Next will be the dreaded fall cleanup. I highly recommend the ReLeaf Leaf Scoops which make our yard, woods, and garden cleanup easier." —trouble54
Get a pair from Amazon for $17.22.
8. An odor-eliminating spray for lifting stains and odors fast when your pup refuses to do their business outside because it's too cold and then leaves you a surprise on the carpet. Each spray releases bacteria that feeds on the ammonia left behind after your pet's accidents, eliminating the urine completely and deterring your pet from peeing in the same spot again.
Promising review: "I love EVERYTHING about this. Like every other reviewer, we've tried every other option we could find to get rid of urine stench and stains. Ours were from an elderly dog who couldn't make it through the night sometimes. Long story short, we have YEARS of urine stains that, after being 'cleaned,' continued to reappear. Now every single recurring stain on our carpet is GONE! Not a single one has returned. I don't have sufficient words for how truly thankful we are for this product. It's like NOTHING else. And the cherry on top is the wonderful scent when you first apply it and NO scent once it's done it's job. So, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for these amazing products." —Anita McCarty
Get it from Amazon for $19.16.
9. A Levoit humidifier that'll add much-needed moisture to the dry winter air. Your hair, skin, and nasal passages will thank you!
When I moved to NYC the winters absolutely destroyed me and I dealt with dry, flaky skin and constant nose bleeds. I knew I needed to get a humidifier and so I bought the first one I found on Amazon and it was...fine...but I hated how hard it was to clean. So I bought another humidifier. And then another humidifier. But every humidifier I bought was just soooo hard to clean. They all had nooks and crannies — or even unreachable surfaces — that got moldy fast and required a lot of contorting of my wrist to wipe down with a sponge. I also hated having to refill the water tank every day. So, I went searching for a humidifier that was easy to clean and had a big water tank. This bad boy ticks all the boxes for me and the app features are fantastic. You can set the target humidity in a space and the humidifier will run until it reaches the threshold, which it will then maintain. It also has schedule and timer features, but I don't use those since I work from home and have the humidifier running basically 24/7. There's even a plant identifier feature that will set the humidity at the optimal level for whatever plants you have.
Get it from Amazon for $67.94+ (available in two colors).
10. And a genius humidifier tank cleaner so you can go longer between washes. Hate refilling the water tank only to realize it's coated with a thin layer of slime and sludge? Same! This fish-shaped cartridge swims around the water tank, inhibiting the growth of buildup for up to 30 days.
11. A CeraVe salicylic acid body wash if colder weather is causing your keratosis pilaris to flare up. It exfoliates without the harsh microbeads, erasing rough and bumpy skin while leaving behind moisturizing hyaluronic acid and calming niacinamide.
Promising review: "Oily skin by nature with mild seborrheic dermatitis (easily controlled but definitely worse in winter/dry seasons), mostly scalp, face, and shoulders. But I had a skin reaction with my chest and entire back breaking out after going through multiple IV infusion rounds of methylprednisolone (AKA steroids on crack). I purchased this amazing SA body wash and an awesome new bamboo brush back exfoliator/scrubber wand. I wish I took a before picture because my skin is at least 10x better after just one use! Way less inflammation and a lot smoother...I'm extremely impressed and highly recommend this product for mild-moderate SD, KP, and regular ole acne." —Brit
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
12. A leather-cleaning brush because you haven't cleaned your Ugg boots since *last* winter and they're looking a little worse for wear. This lil' guy can be used four different ways to clean scuff marks, water spots, and invisible dust.
Promising review: "BUY THIS THING! I got mud on my new suede boots and thought for sure they were ruined, but this brush completely restored them. I was shocked. I even used it on an old pair of boots from college that I have considered 'ruined' for several years and it did wonders on getting rid of the filth on top of the suede. I was so impressed! It's absolutely worth getting and trying for yourself! Scuff marks take a bit more time to improve but they do look better after brushing them." —Gaby Scott
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
13. A bottle of professional grade callus-removing gel to dissolve hard dead skin in literal minutes and have uber soft heels. (Seriously, reviewers say you should only let it sit for two to three minutes!) Then, give it a good scrub with a foot file and your heels will be baby bottom smooth.
Promising review: "This product is AMAZING!!! I'm so glad that I found this product! I suffer from dry skin and very dry feet and heels during the winter and they have the tendency to be cracked and hard. THIS WAS MY SAVING GRACE!!! You still have to put a little elbow grease into buffing your feet after applying this product, but the dead, dry, rough skin literally just melts off and you are left with baby smooth feet!!! It really really is as good as the reviews say. They have earned a customer for life in me. Don't straddle the fence, BUY IT!!!" —Roses and Red Lollipops
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
14. A window insulator kit for keeping you warm *and* saving you money on your heating bills. The clear film shrinks to create an airtight lining to prevent drafts and heat loss.
Promising review: "I buy this every winter and it makes a BIG difference! We have super-thin windows and this works like a charm to stop 80% of the cold drafts, and I find I can sit right next to the window without a problem after installing them. It's easy to install and looks invisible after you apply heat with a hair dryer. No one will be able to tell there's a film and it'll look completely transparent after you apply heat. It was so satisfying to see the wrinkles disappear! It looks great, works great, and will save your energy! Win win win!" —Raymond
Get a 10-window kit from Amazon for $26.99.
15. And a self-adhesive seal strip that'll soundproof a room while adding much-need insulation from drafts.
You'll get two seals (totaling 16 feet) that are 9 millimeters thick.
Promising review: "As a queer household we usually embrace anything not straight; we are highly open-minded and accepting. HOWEVER our crooked doorframes are the exception. Seeing our house is older than the concept of building codes and built by someone who apparently didn't believe in 'measure twice cut once' we were happy to find a cheap solution to the straight-up breezes in our kitchen! Severely cut down on the amount of wind coming through and improved the temperature in the mudroom in a matter of minutes!" —bitandbridle
Get it from Amazon for $6.57+ (available in four colors).
16. A snout soother so your pup's snoot stays soft, moisturized, and oh-so boopable.
Promising review: "Our boxer had the crustiest, driest nose for years. Three different vets couldn't offer any solutions for years! We tried olive oil and other remedies, but nothing worked. After the first application, there was noticeable improvement. After a few days of treatment, our beloved boxer's nose is looking great and on the road to recovery. I'm so disappointed in our vets for not knowing this product. If you are a vet, you NEED to recommend this product and stock it at your office. It is a miracle worker! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this product and finally able to kiss my baby on the nose again." —M Keady
Get it from Amazon for $5.95.
17. A rechargeable hand warmer if you have perpetually cold hands — this itty bitty bb is deceptively powerful and can reach 131 degrees Fahrenheit.
Promising review: "Very small, but very hot. Don’t be fooled by my small hands (above), this hand warmer is about the size of a computer mouse BUT it gets very hot. Perfect for camping, sporting events, hunting, or in my case, a chilly office. It’s small enough to easily fit in my purse so I can tote it with me when I need it. I am highly satisfied. It also arrived fast with my Prime free two-day shipping. 👍🏻👍🏻" —GF
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in four colors).
18. A collagen-coating hair treatment because dry and damaging winter weather *plus* dry and hot indoor air is leaving your hair parched, static-y, and frizzy. This reparative five-minute hair mask will revive your mane and leave it soft, silky, and smooth.
Promising review: "I'm black and I have natural hair that loves to frizz. This winter has been especially trying since I moved from NY to WI and my hair had started to break and tangle due to the frizz. Well, I tried this and it was so soft and frizzless after one use. I just came online to buy 3 more and write this review. My curls are detangled and the micro knots have lessened, It may not work for everyone like it did for me but I think it's worth a try." —nanaochanisluv
Get it from Amazon for $9.35.

19. A Neti Pot to help clear congestion if a cold/flu or allergies are kicking your butt.
The FDA recommends you only use distilled, sterile, or previously boiled (then cooled) water. And if you have chronic sinus infections, you should speak with your doctor.
Promising review: "I LOVE THIS SOLUTION! I have migraines and my sinuses are really sensitive and will trigger one when I don't take care of them, especially in winter when my furnace runs a lot. I have a hot water pot in my bedroom to help but since using this solution on a regular basis my migraines that are directly related to my sinus issues have become far less in number. Quite often when I wake up and my sinuses hurt and I feel a headache coming on I will make a hypertonic solution with lukewarm water and slowly irrigate my sinuses and I find most of the times the headache goes away before it becomes a migraine and my sinuses feel so much better. I am comfortable saying I'm at a lifetime low on migraines and plan on using this product for the rest of my life. I wasn't paid for this review and I didnt get a discount." —Martin

20. A genius drying rack for preventing any sweater shrinking mishaps in the dryer. These three-tier mesh racks will help speed up the drying process while taking up minimal space. Plus air-drying is gentler on the fabric than a tumble in the dryer, which can help extend the life of your sweaters.
Promising review: "Big enough for size large sweaters. I love that it is instant to set up, holds multiple item, the mesh lets most clothes dry overnight and it doesn't have any loose parts to lose. The layers collapse on each other, then fold up like a car shade but with three wires to contend with takes a bit more force. If car shades are your nemesis, this is probably not for you, but if you've conquered car shade folding, the drying rack is quick and small to store. The storage bag appeared to be flimsy, but it has lasted for over a year of use with no problem." —Costume Shop
Get it on Amazon for $13.99.
21. A cuticle oil that'll restore your shredded nails and keep your cuticles moisturized (which may help prevent hangnails!) against the dry winter air.
Promising review: "I love this product, it smells absolutely amazing and it really traps the moisture in my cuticles. My nails have grown so much longer and they crack and break off less then they did before. I have only been using this oil twice every other day and it has kept my nails strong through the dry and freezing cold winter!" —Alex
Get it from Amazon for $9.90 (also available in two other sizes).
22. A bath overflow drain cover so you can enjoy a few extra inches of toasty water instead of sitting in water only up to your belly button and feeling scammed.
Promising review: "I have a high-stress job, and I've started taking baths as a way to unwind. However, it never seemed like I could keep enough water in the tub to really enjoy it. This little thing makes a HUGE difference!! I get at least an extra three inches of water and it is great." —Hyacinthe Snyder
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine colors).
23. Some reusable Nippies nipple covers if you plan to wear a backless dress to an upcoming wedding and don't want your nipples to make a guest appearance in photos. Reviewers rave that these pasties stay put through sweat *and* you can get about 10 wears out of 'em.
Promising review: "These are some of best reusable nipple covers money can buy. Summer heat wave sweat? You won't be sweating about these babies slipping off. Worried about peaking out in winter? Only you'll know when things get too chilly. Can be reused over and over without worrying about the adhesive failing you months down the line. Simply wipe them off with a damp cloth after use and place them back in the super convenient package. Great for every day and for travel!" —Liz
Get it from Amazon for $26.50 (available in two sizes and five shades).
24. A cruelty-free lip balm with SPF 25 because whoever you're locking lips with will definitely notice a difference.
Promising review: "I live in Chicago and have sensitive skin. This lip balm holds up to the winters here. It entirely heals stubbornly dried/cracked lips. I can put it on before and bed and have new lips by the morning. Added bonus that it has SPF. Worth the money!!!" —Kait
Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in six flavors).
25. A creamy paw butter to guard against ice and salt in the fall and winter, and scorching hot sidewalks and sand in the summer. This balm moisturizes dry, cracked paws and snoots and is safe if licked or swallowed.
Promising review: "We live in Chicago and the winters are brutal on our black Lab's paws. The salt and snow were cracking his pads and although our dog wasn't whining or showing any pain, there is no way that a crack in his pad felt good. We put this on his paws once a day and noticed an improvement. We would take him out to play fetch and apply it the second we came back inside while he was still tired and panting so that he wouldn't lick it all off. It worked well enough that we'll buy it again next winter." —Todd Snyder
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
26. A dandruff shampoo for banishing the white flakes from your scalp that always seem to get worse in the winter. It's made with ketoconazole 1%, an antifungal ingredient that'll tell your dandruff it's no longer welcome here.
Promising review: "I have an extremely dry scalp in the summer and winter, and I’ve tried so many products without any improvement. This shampoo worked wonders and after only ONE wash, I was able to go about five days without any itching. It does dry my hair out, but if you have a good conditioner, you should be fine. It’s working great so far, so I’ll definitely be purchasing again." —Azia
Get it from Amazon for $15.88.
27. A fabric defuzzer that'll remove lint, pilling, and fuzz that's magically accumulated on your favorite sweater. It has three settings so you can choose how close of a shave you want, as well as a handy lint catcher.
The battery-operated style requires 2 AA batteries (not included).
Promising review: "This thing is excellent. I just 'repaired' two cashmere sweaters and one modal-blend jersey top to like-new condition. The waste compartment fills up quickly and will start clogging the blades if not emptied frequently. I will share one trick I found for emptying the area around the blades: Remove the waste compartment and hold the unit vertically over a garbage can while turning the defuzzer on. Blades will spin and the rest of the pills will fall out. Enjoy." —Fine Print Reader
Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in six colors and two styles).
28. A natural shoe deodorizer spray so the combination of thick winter socks and sweat doesn't stick up your work boots. It's made with essential oils and smells like lemon and eucalyptus so you'll probably want to spray it around the rest of your house, too.
Promising review: "This product WORKS! You won’t be disappointed. I used to get embarrassed taking off my flats in my office because they smelled so bad, but not anymore! My work flats make my feet sweaty and this spray helps keep the awful odors away at least four to five days (probably longer but I was so excited I just sprayed my shoes again because I liked the smell haha!) The lemon is strong and the eucalyptus I love, so I would purchase again! Although it will likely last a while! I have a little boy who gets sweaty feet also so i’m sure I’ll soon be using this in his shoes also." —Traeannah Brown
Get it from Amazon for $13.95.
29. A pack of eucalyptus and peppermint shower steamers if you've ever said, "Gee I wish there were bath bombs for showers" — tada! As the tablet dissolves, it releases therapeutic essential oils to help clear congestion.
The Herbal Zen is a small business based in Pennsylvania. Jason, the owner, was working as a pharmacist before pivoting to creating a line of small-batch, hand-crafted essential-oil- and herbal-based products that are cruelty free, gluten free, and made without artificial fragrance and preservatives.

Promising review: "I used one of the shower steamers and almost automatically felt relieved. It made a ton of drainage come out of my nose with no effort and helped relieve my sinus pressure. Definitely recommend." —Sarah Carlile
Get a 10-pack from The Herbal Zen on Amazon Handmade for $24.99 (available in other scents).
30. A pack of blister-prevention tape because winter is boot season...and blister season. They're so sticky they'll stay wherever you place them for up to two days (which is great if you're hiking or camping and don't want to change 'em out every few hours)! Don't pay for new shoes in blood, sweat, tears, *and* money.
Promising review: "I bought some new Dr. Martens and stupidly decided to wear them without even thinking about the fact that I would get blisters. I got the absolute most painful blisters on my heels. This was a little over a week ago. I let the blisters heal for a week and this tape came in. I put a bandage on my almost healed blisters for extra protection and then I put this tape on the part where the Docs rub the most. They work so well. There is no pain. mind you these aren’t even close to being broken in yet. I wore them all day yesterday and today and my heels are just fine. If you are breaking in new Dr. Martens (and prob any other shoes) GET THIS STUFF!! Only part i didn’t like was removing it bc it really sticks to you so be careful when peeling off." —Gabby G
Get 30 pre-cut strips Amazon for $8.49.
31. A pair of exfoliating mitts to buff away beads of dry, dead, and flaky skin (you'll literally be able to see them) and reveal buttery, baby soft skin underneath — and probably make you feel like a lizard shedding its skin.
Promising review: "Yep, this thing really works. Saw this in a BuzzFeed product review where users had tons of dead skin polished off (yep there’s pics) and true to form, this really does get amazing amounts of dead, flaky skin off your body. Don’t be surprised if there’s lots even when you shower and bathe daily. Whether it’s skin flakes and soap residue or whatever, it sure disappears leaving amazingly smooth skin. A gentle buff with this mitt after the required 'soak' time to soften skin and just like that you have amazing skin texture and softness without added lotion. I was worried about using it without soap as instructed but it was gentle but firm in its results. Skin came off of weird spots like your inner wrist not just the normal rough knees and elbows. This will make the winter 'blah skin' a thing of the past." —elaine 3
Get them from Amazon for $13.99 (also available individually).
32. A tub of O'Keeffe's hand cream for replenishing moisture in your hands, which are usually dry and cracked come winter. It forms a protective layer around your hands, locking in hydration and preventing moisture from escaping.
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 2.5 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 nongreasy 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.
