1. An effective double-sided snow brush and ice scraper so you can exercise caution and *fully* clean off your car before heading to work without having to make yourself late.
2. Or a windshield cover if you'd like to skip the scraping altogether in favor of a quicker de-icing solution.
3. Leg warmer cuffs to zhuzh up all of your adorable wintery outfits.
4. The Sister Pie cookbook for those snowed-in weekends when you just want to hunker down and bake, bake, bake.
5. A stash of Hot Hands so your digits don't freeze off one by one just because you have to walk a few blocks.
6. Super duper Aquaphor lip balm to combat the chapped lips you inevitably get every single year.
7. A spring-assisted snow shovel whose two handles will really help you fling that snow when it finally starts sticking.
8. A light-up birch branch garland to instantly turn your living room into a sparkly winter wonderland.
9. A pair of comfy slippers you'll want to wear basically every waking moment once it drops below 65 degrees.
10. A Yeti Rambler mug with double-wall vacuum insulation to keep your hot beverage toasty — even when you accidentally leave it next to a drafty window for a while.
11. A big ole' pack of socks — goodness knows you'll need 'em so you don't have to pad around barefoot on a freezing floor all season.
12. A heated blanket to swaddle yourself in so you stay snug as a bug in a rug until the sun comes back.
13. Or a famously warm and cozy pair of Smart Wool socks that are more of an investment but will last for years to come.
14. A shearling jacket for keeping cozy as the weather turns. Not to mention you're sure to Instagram it about one million times.
15. A rich moisturizer like Ultra Repair Cream to combat the dryness that is sure to befall your skin if left unprotected. Colloidal oatmeal, shea butter, and allantoin are perfect for delivering maximum hydration to sensitive skin.
16. A blanket sweatshirt, because let's face it — you're about to be on the couch until April. Might as well lean in.
17. A boot mat so when the snow starts falling you don't start tracking in bonkers amounts of salt and muddy snowmelt.
18. A four-quart Crock-Pot, because one of the nicest things you can do for yourself during the most difficult season is ensure there's a hot, delicious meal waiting for you when you get home from work.
19. A subscription to Book of the Month so you can start stocking up on must-reads for all your upcoming snuggly nights by the fire.
20. A Nintendo Switch, because it's gonna be miserable outside. Truly no use braving a storm in the real world when you can brave a storm in Fortnite while staying nice and cozy.
21. A spin art kit to keep your kid (or yourself!) occupied for at least one day of winter vacay. They'll need to put together some components of the motor to get the spin going, so not only will they be making fun, creative art, they'll also be learning about science — hooray!
22. An Apple Orchard Homesick candle for anyone who wishes the BEST autumnal activity could last way longer than it does.
23. A holy grail hand cream to soothe and heal your mitts. Winter dryness is approaching — time to stock up.
24. A cute and classic loose leaf teapot for anyone who plans on posting up with a cuppa every day this winter *or* are just huge fans of The Office.
25. A soft faux fur blanket to hibernate under for the foreseeable future.
Happy almost winter! You still have a little time to summon Lorelai Gilmore levels of snow appreciation.
