1. A loungewear set you'll wanna wear 24/7 this winter (and spring, summer, and fall). I will take a set in every color, please and thank you!

Promising review: "Absolutely gorgeous blanket! This is my second purchase from this shop (and this blanket), and I love my order! The blankets are beautifully made. I can’t believe how quickly the blankets arrived too! Turkey to Oregon in two to three days after ordering!!! I’ve already placed a third order!" —Joanna C
Get it from Turkish Dowry on Etsy for $25.90+ (available in 24 colors and with or without embroidery).
3. Or a hilarious fleece tortilla blanket that'll make you feel like the inside of a melty burrito in the best possible way.
Promising review: "I don’t generally review things on here, but I love this blanket so much. Super cozy and soft. I’ve slept under it every night since I got it. Fast delivery and packaged well. Definitely recommend and may need to get another." —Alex L.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four sizes and other styles).
4. Or The Comfy — a sweatshirt/blanket combo if you're in search of a blanket to keep you toasty as you do important things like switch between streaming services and build a house in The Sims.
I originally bought this for my mom who always get cold at night when she's watching TV and she loves it, but it may or may not have ended up in my room one night, and now belongs to me — oops. I LOVE this thing. It truly is so warm and so perfect for cold winter nights when I wanna reach that level of toasty warm my sweatshirts alone cannot accomplish. Plus, you can do things while wearing it! I mean, how else am I gonna keep the entire length of my arms warm while trying to play The Sims?
Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in 17 styles and o/s).
5. A candle containing notes of orange, cinnamon, clove, and pine that'll help set the mood for cozy days and nights spent inside this winter — which should be all of them.
Sweet Water Decor is a woman-owned small biz that sells a lovely mix of home goods like candles, mugs, jewelry dishes, and more!
Promising review: "I was skeptical because I’m picky about candles, but this one lived up to all the positive reviews. It is the perfect candle for the holidays — the scent truly is warm and cozy." —Meghan
Get it from Sweet Water Decor on Amazon Handmade for $19.95.
6. And an electric lighter so you can ignite the flame on your new candle in a way that's safer than using matches or a gas lighter. Plus, the bottom lock switch provides some extra peace of mind to those with kids, pets, or for those who plan to bring it on-the-go.
Promising review: "This also comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! I'm a big weenie about fire (lol, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it." —Emma Lord, BuzzFeed Editor
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors).
7. A face mask that'll cover your mouth, nose, AND ears to help keep Jack Frost away. I have this and it really comes in handy when I'm walking my dog in single digit temps with negative wind chill.
Woorishopusa is a small business that sells a unique assortment of nonmedical face masks and accessories.
So yes, this is a non-medical face mask but when I got this last year, I ~personally~ felt that this wouldn't provide adequate enough coverage against COVID. I still thought it was super cute and really wanted to find a way to wear it, so I figured it would be good to wear when I took my dog out on a walk in my very quiet neighborhood. It's perfect! It keeps my face warm and still provides me with a little bit of coverage in the rare circumstance I do walk past someone. It also makes walking my dog on extremely cold days a little more bearable.
Get it from Woorishopusa on Etsy for $12.99 (available in five colors).
8. An espresso machine for whipping up delicious coffee drinks without having to wait in the drive-thru line or worse...get out of the car and brave the cold just to walk into a coffee shop. While this machine comes with a big price tag, it's gonna pay for itself over time.
Let's just say you were buying speciality coffee drinks every. single. day. from a coffee shop for $2/cup (which, let's be real, you most likely spend more than that). In a matter of a year, you would be paying more for those coffee drinks (plus the price of gas to/from) than you would for this machine. So this is an investment that will definitely pay off in the long run.
BuzzFeed writer Brittany Gibson swears by hers: "IMHO, the Breville Barista Express is phenomenal. I was a barista for a few years and I was used to working with a top-notch machine, and this is pretty darn close to being just as good. As someone who drinks lattes daily, I've saved SO much money by investing in this. I use these espresso beans from a small upstate New York business called SPoT Coffee and get delectably rich and smooth shots of espresso every time."
Get it from Amazon for $599.95 (available in two colors).
9. Or, an electric tea kettle if tea is more your speed. This thing boils water super fast — no cooktop required.
Kettle features an auto-shutoff feature and boil-dry safety protection, as well as a blue LED indicator so you know when exactly the water is boiling. It has a 1.7 liter (aka 7.2 cup) capacity, and is made of scratch-resistant borosilicate glass, a stainless-steel lid and inner pot, and is 100% BPA free.
Promising review: "I bought this kettle after I burned my stove-top version, (oops), and it couldn't have come at a better time since I was struck with a sore throat and cold the day after it arrived, and have been using it nonstop. It was very easy to clean, and it works fantastically, I used it seven times alone yesterday and have had no problems, whatsoever. Fantastic product, fantastic price, and am I the only one that likes to watch the water boil? It's gorgeous!" —Sophia C
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two colors).
10. And while we're on the subject of tea, may we suggest this assortment of tea bags you'll wanna keep on-hand so you always have a new, delicious flavor to try?!
It comes with honey sticks!
Promising review: "What I like best about these samplers is that we can try a lot of different teas, decide which ones we like best, and then can get a whole box of the favorites. How many times have you bought a whole box of one kind of tea, just to find out you don't like it that much? This lets you figure that out easily, plus you get to try many more teas this way. The bags are individually packaged in their original wrappers, so it's easy to see what flavor you have. I gave these samplers to my mom, with the hope that she would tell me what kinds she wants in full boxes, but I think she actually prefers the amazing variety of this sampler. This would also be good to have on hand for guests — there is certainly something in the mix that they will love." —Anne
Get a pack of 40 from Amazon for $16.99.
11. Or a unique and scrumptious hot chocolate bomb that's so pretty, you may never want to take it out of the package, but they're so yummy, so please do. Coffee and tea are not your thing. That's cool! Not to mention, they're SO pretty.
Big Bear Chocolates is a small biz based in Spokane, Washington that sells gourmet caramel apples and fresh fudge.
Promising review: After missing the hot chocolate bomb trend last year, I decided that I had to have some this year. It arrived quickly and in perfect condition, and was the perfect size for my mug! It was also one of the best cups of cocoa I've had in a long time and I'm already thinking of getting more." —Ishita Bose
Get it from Big Bear Chocolates on Etsy for $6.89+ (available in 11 flavors).
12. Shearling earmuffs doubling as wireless Bluetooth headphones so you can enjoy your favorite tunes AND keep your ears warm at the same time.
Promising review: "I LOVE THEM!!! They fit perfectly and the sound is amazing. Now I can keep listening to my music when I walk my dog at night and it's cold. Definitely glad I bought them." —Jsanchez125
Get it from Bloomingdale's for $115 (available in two colors).
13. A pair of faux fur throw pillow covers to add an extra cozy element to sofas, chairs, beds, or anywhere else you plan on snuggling up this season.
Since these are just the covers, you can stock up on some pillow inserts from Amazon here.
Promising review: "Love these cases!!! Purchased in white and gray and they are holding up very well. The quality is great. I love how cozy they make the room feel. I would definitely recommend these." —Mrs. Mom
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 10 colors and four sizes).
14. A pair of chenille texting gloves because there's no need for choosing between keeping up with the gossip in your group chat and preventing frost bite on your fingers.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these touch screen gloves. They are warm, soft, and the touch screen capability works well. Even after having them for several months and washing them many times, they look and feel brand new. I’m going to order a bunch of these to give as gifts. The quality for the price is unbeatable." —Charlotte
Get them from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in nine colors).
15. And while we're talking about keeping your hands warm, this portable electric hand warmer is another great option for some on-the-go heat. If your hands could speak, they'd certainly be thanking you.
Promising review: "This thing is amazing. It charges quickly, and it heats up quicker! I got this for my boyfriend who is always cold, and we ended up sharing it. I'm gonna buy one for myself, my mom, and whoever else needs one. Absolutely perfect." —AngerieRose
Get it from Amazon for $19.59 (originally $27.99; available in 10 colors).
16. A fluffy duvet insert you can think of as the equivalent of turning your bed into a dreamy, fluffy cloud. Winter hibernation spot incoming.
Promising review: "Can't say enough good things about this comforter! It is beautiful in color, as well as super soft and cozy! The price made it super affordable for anyone wanting a great piece of inexpensive bedding. I am so happy with this that I purchased a second one for my daughter, and I am considering a third one. Just love it!!" —Dedewi
Get it from Amazon for $39.90+ (available in four colors and seven sizes).
17. And while we're on the topic of ensuring your bed is the ultimate cozy spot, a gel-infused memory foam mattress topper you're gonna need to be physically torn away from when it's time to get out of bed. That's how much you're gonna love it.
Promising review: "This mattress was definitely worth the money. It transformed my old, hard mattress into a cozy, comfortable bed. When I took it out of the package, I was a bit skeptical, but I followed the instructions, waited 24 hours, and it inflated into a perfect mattress topper. It was so comfortable that I immediately ordered another one for the other bed. The two inch topper was perfect. It was exactly as described, and there was no odor when I took it out of the package. I am very happy with this product and definitely recommend it." —Jaycee
Get it from Amazon for $36.41+ (available in two styles and 10 sizes).
18. A knit beanie so great at keeping heads warm, even hat haters will want to buy one.

Promising review: "I love these pants! They are super warm and comfy. I live in the mountains where it’s really cold and snowy so I need sweats that’ll actually keep me warm. They were a decent price and so worth it!" —Isabela E.
Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in 13 colors and sizes XS–2XL).
20. A ridiculously adorable pair of fuzzy socks for keeping your feet happy in the cutest possible way. My heart is exploding thinking about looking down at my feet and seeing a precious lil' panda bb.
Miss June's Fashion Socks is a small business based in San Francisco, California that sells the loveliest socks.
Get a pair from Miss June's Fashion Socks on Etsy for $12 (available in three styles).
21. And these socks are another splendid option if the animal socks aren't your thing but you wanna get in on the fuzzy feet goodness.
Promising review: "These socks were a great value. My husband found them pretty quickly upon me saying I needed to buy socks because the weather is getting colder. I love them! They’re thick, but not so thick that they’re uncomfortable to wear. Good for lounging in the house." —Michael W.
Get them from Amazon for $14.99 (available in other pack sizes and styles).
22. A thermal set great for layering underneath outfits so you can rock trendy winter looks and stay warm at the same time! This is also great if you have any outdoor winter activities planned like skiing, skating, or snowboarding. You may also just wanna wear it around the house as comfy loungewear!
Many reviewers say this set tends to run a little big, especially the shirt, so if you're buying this with the intention of layering underneath clothing, you may want to keep that in mind and size down!
Promising review: "Purchased these to wear under my ski gear. They were better than expected. The material is buttery and not scratchy. Super comfortable and warm. They do run large. I would suggest sizing down. The shirt is a little big, but works for me!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 13 colors and sizes 2XS—3XL).
23. A bath pillow because you deserve to upgrade your neck/back comfort level next time you're in the tub. There's just something about taking a bath in the winter that hits different than any other time of year.
Promising review: "So if you're like me, who lives in an apartment, you know the bath has little to offer. I was hesitant buying this product knowing I didn't have a head ledge for the top bend to really rest on. But after putting it in my tub and soaking in a long deserved bath, this item was just what I needed. No stiff neck or sore back. Easy to place and clean. This is something I'll recommend to all." —Hannah Ruble
Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in six colors and two sizes).
24. An Amazon-famous thickened down jacket you'll be extra grateful for on days you have no choice but to leave your warm house and step out into cold, cruel temperatures. This coat features large pockets, a sherpa-lined hood, and comes in an awesome array of colors. Hey, maybe winter isn't so bad after all?
No, I'm just kidding, winter is still awful, but this jacket does make it a teensy bit better. I finally bought one for myself this past year and I'm so glad I did. It's THICC!!! So warm, so cozy, and those pockets? Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique. Be sure to check out our Orolay down jacket review! FYI, this is included in Prime Try Before You Buy so you can test it out before committing if you’re a Prime member!
Promising review: "Very warm and cute. I am actually obsessed with this jacket. I stopped a woman on the street to asked her where she got hers. I immediately ordered one. I wasn't sure what size to get so I ordered the small and medium. I am smaller on the top so actually the small was better because I could open up the zippers on the side." —Susan Alexander
Get it from Amazon for $149.99+ (available in 13 colors and women's sizes 2XS–5XL).
25. A 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle that contains 50 Easter eggs and features a fun magic trick at the end — this is the coolest puzzle ever and perfect way to pass the time while staying inside all season.
Promising review: "Just got this puzzle for something to do at home over the holidays. Seriously...I have never seen a puzzle quite like this! It’s very impressive and exceeded my expectations already. The packaging is beautiful inside and out. Everything about it shouts quality. I particularly liked the envelopes inside for the puzzle pieces and mystery. Heavy weight and substantial. The one holding the 1,000 puzzle pieces stays closed with Velcro! How cool! And the secret mystery envelope has a cool string loop tie. Makes you remember you can’t open it until the puzzle is done. The whole vibe of The Mystic Maze is quality and fun, and also looks like a challenging puzzle. Looking forward to getting started on this. Certainly a good stay-home fun activity. Highly recommend!" —Kyle Fletcher
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
26. A pair of shearling slippers so comfy, you may start crowdsourcing your friends and asking if it's socially acceptable to wear these out in public.
FYI, this is included in Prime Try Before You Buy so you can test them out before committing if you’re a Prime member!
Promising review: "These are amazing slippers. A strong enough sole to go run errands in and incredibly warm and comfortable. Super soft inside. I have a scar on the side of my foot so width is always a concern and these do not bother me at all." —Ortiz Family
Get them from Amazon for $44+ (available in 15 colors, women's sizes 6–11 regular, and wide sizes 6.5–10.5).
27. And finally, a pair of Ugg minis that can be worn as slippers around the house or just as your go-to shoes this winter. Parting ways with these when nice weather returns is gonna be pretty difficult.
BuzzFeed editor Heather Braga loves hers: "I recently got these Ugg minis and have been wearing them as my 'work shoes' now that I WFH full time. They're the perfect mix between a slipper and an actual shoe, so I can continue to wear my comfiest clothes to 'the office' (my kitchen table) but also feel like I've somewhat transitioned into work mode for the day. They're super soft, as all Uggs are, and honestly just make me happy! They are true-to-size so no worries about sizing up or down."
Get them from Nordstrom for $150 (available in seven colors, and women's sizes 5–12).
