1. An odor-eliminating Levoit air purifier because cold and flu season is here and the last thing you need are allergens, dust, and smoke to make this time of year even harder. Its three-stage HEPA filtration system will help keep your home's air easy to breathe.
Promising review: "I struggle with terrible winter allergies. After several years of getting bronchitis at this time of year, and swallowing two 24-hour allergy pills a day, and fighting with extremely painful ear infections, I HAD to try something new. I got this little thing hesitantly. I was worried it wouldn’t work, or it would be too loud but none of that has been the case. My headaches are gone. My stuffed up nose in the morning is gone for the most part. No allergy pills required. The volume is adjustable and on its lowest it’s barely noticeable. If you suffer like I have, please give this a try. I am so thankful I did." —Bunny
Get it from Amazon for $74.99+ (available in black and white).
2. A super sleek and super quiet Levoit humidifier and diffuser if the cold weather has brought with it congestion, coughs, or dry skin. It's even got a 360-degree mist nozzle. Raise the humidity by 10% in just 20 minutes!
Promising review: "I have searched and searched for the perfect humidifier for my bedroom. After reading the positive reviews of this one, I ordered it. It is awesome! I love that it is top fill. I will be able to get into every nook and cranny to clean it, and it’s super super quiet! I also appreciate that it doesn’t have an annoying bright light on it anywhere!! The most important thing is that I can adjust how much moisture comes out of the top. I have used it a few nights now and I’m not waking up choking with my mouth and throat being so dry and stuck together. Great product and I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a humidifier to put beside their bed at night during the winter. You will not be disappointed!" —MH
Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in two colors).
3. A super smart (and cute) humidifier tank cleaner for keeping your humidifier mold and mildew free for up to 30 days. It also kills 99% of odor-causing bacteria, which you need if your humidifier has been spewing out some smelly smells.
Promising reviews: "I LOVE these little fish. I’ve been using them for about 2.5 years now and I truly believe they help keep the humidifier and water cleaner. People don’t realize all the nasty mold and bacteria that can be growing in their humidifier and then released into the air in their room! I’ve noticed a huge difference in mold growth when I use these fish." —Shelly
Get it from Amazon for $5.28.
4. A gorgeous, handcrafted wreath to stamp the front of your home with. Now even passersby will know that no Grinches live here.
Promising review: "This is such a beautiful and FULL wreath; no skimping on materials here. It was fun unpacking it and unbending/arranging some of the branches, etc. It was packed beautifully and it is so nice to have that keepsake box to store it in when not in use." —Mindy Silver
Get it from Amazon for $69.47.
5. A fast-acting and environmentally friendly ice melt that won't irritate or dry out your skin when handled. Be prepared for any rogue snowstorms that come your way.
This even comes with a handheld ice melt spreader!
Promising review: "Today in Chicago it snowed throughout the day, not blizzard, but a normal 5-ish inches. I live in the city and have to keep my sidewalks clean, so I shoveled midday to break up the torturous foot-traffic-packed snow that builds up, and broke a decent sweat (shoveling about 15 feet of sidewalk). I said 'see you later' to my neighbors who were also shoveling. I put this salt down over the remnants of my hardship, figuring it’d make round two easier. It has been six hours and my sidewalk is clear — no random patches of ice, clear — while my neighbors already had a solid new layer of snow to shovel. I will not be joining the next round." —Kate

6. A gingerbread simple syrup so you can step up your home latte game without artificial flavorings and colorings. Give your coffees, mochas, and hot chocolates a wintry twist!
Lynn & Gray is a Pennsylvania-based small biz handcrafting essential oil diffusers and simple syrups.
Promising review: "This is the best gingerbread syrup I’ve had. I was looking for something to replace Starbucks to make my own gingerbread lattes, and this is actually better than theirs. It is delicious." —Ellie Clinesmith
Get it from Lynn & Gray on Etsy for $10.50+ (available in two sizes).
7. A cheese board and cutlery set because 'tis the season for gathering and merrymaking and that means making sure your guests are full of cheese and crackers. Made of acacia wood, this water-resistant cheese board will take your hosting to the next level.
The set includes the three bowls, a matching knife set with three utensils, and three compartments that can be used for the bowls or on its own for snacks.
Promising review: "Got this for my mom who is obsessed with making cheese boards. She loves it. Great gift and pretty unique design. The packaging was also very impressive, which made it an even better gift." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (also available in a lazy susan style).
8. A UV-free LED sunlight lamp if the sun's early setting is ruining your vibe. This lamp provides glare-free "happy light" that feels just like the sun's rays, so you can enjoy boosts of energy and focus throughout the day.
Promising review: "I've been using my HappyLight for a month and I can honestly say that I do notice a difference in my morning outlook and energy. I have it on my vanity table and sit with it for at least a half hour while drinking coffee, scrolling TikTok, answering emails, catching up on the overnight news, and solving Wordle. It also serves as a supplemental makeup light while I do my makeup and morning skincare routine! Like many of you, I go to work in the dark/come home in the dark during this time of year. I know I need at least some artificial sunshine in my life to ward off the winter blues." —Virginia
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
9. A très chic acrylic bathtub tray for a series of well-deserved self-care days. Prepare a glass of wine, light a candle, drop in a bath bomb, and get ready for a relaxing and rejuvenating bath.

Home Maven is a woman-owned small business based in Tampa, Florida, making cute, custom doormats.
Promising review: "Beautiful rug! It came quickly and is absolutely gorgeous! It doesn’t shed too much and looks very durable!" —coliver102
Get it from Home Maven on Etsy for $54+ (available in five sizes).
11. A pack of foam socket sealers that'll stop any rogue breezes from finding their way into your home through slight gaps between your walls and switch plates and outlets.
You'll get 16 outlet sealers, 6 switch plate sealers, and 2 decorative covers.
Promising review: "These actually work. I admit that I had my doubts at first, but then, I verified the results with the a thermal leak detector. Outlets that were at least two or three degrees lower in temperature prior to installation were actually warmer than the wall after I installed. Pretty amazing. Package comes with mostly double round sockets and a few square. Our house has all square, so we cut the round to fit the square plate, and they work very well. We used the light switch cutouts for cable coax outlets, which made a huge difference." —K. S.
Get the variety pack on Amazon for $14.99.
12. A pack of six aromatherapy shower steamers for turning shower time into a nice trip to the spa this winter. Relieve a little stress with a lavender, eucalyptus, vanilla, watermelon, grapefruit, or peppermint steamer.
Promising review: “These are the best shower steamers I've ever tried. Usually they aren't strong enough or they melt too quickly to even enjoy. They are also bigger than what you can buy at the store. One lasted my entire shower and still smelled amazing even after I was done. These are the best shower steamers hands down. I would definitely buy these again.” —Krista
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
13. A Bluetooth record player so you can play all the biggest and best holiday hits! Sit back and relax as Mariah Carey croons about Christmas on this retro-inspired record player.
Promising review: "I'm in love with my record player. I don't have any bad thing to say about it. The sounds quality is great. The way it looks is perfect. I actually own a second record player and this is my favorite as it looks very vintage. Is definitely giftable. I'm buying this for my sister who also loves collecting vinyls." —Liliana
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in eight colors).
14. A boot dryer and warmer because you don't have time to wait for your boots to thaw from yesterday's snowy excursion; you have things to do and people to see! This device silently warms the air that rises into the boots so they dry more quickly.
Promising review: "I was skeptical for the 'no moving parts' thing, and also concerned for energy usage because I'm a cheapskate when it comes to that electric bill. But some sorcery allows for this thing to have no moving parts, low energy consumption, AND the boots are hot in the morning. No more wet toes before I even leave the house. I read a lot of reviews of people whining about not having an on/off switch or having to unplug it to turn it off. I thought it was a legitimate concern before purchasing but have now determined that it was just whining. I have two pairs of boots anyway so there's always one pair on it. Pleased with purchase." —Public name (required)
Get it from Amazon for $49.99.
15. A delish hot toddy mix if you're looking for a boozy way to stay warm and toasty this winter. Just add hot water and the liquor of your choice (I'm a whiskey girl myself) and this spice-filled drink is ready to go!
Wood Stove Kitchen is a small business based in Mont Vernon, New Hampshire making delicious mixers for cocktails, mocktails, mulled wine, spiced cider, and hot toddies, and more!
Promising review: "Very tasty. I live in a cold place with a deck, so this mix is a fun thing to have. Now I can bundle up, sit on the deck, and feel festive!" —Crisi Benford
Get an 8-ounce bottle from Wood Stove Kitchen on Etsy for $11.99.
16. An insulated weather- and soundproof strip you can install on your windows and doors to keep cold air where it's supposed to be — outside!
Promising review: "JUST WHAT I NEEDED! This weatherstrip worked great for me. It came in two attached strips with an adhesive backing. The strips can be separated as needed. It was easy to peel the backing and install the strips. I installed both strips on the door casing where the door meets it when closed. It immediately stopped the draft that was coming in around the door." —RH in TN
Get it from Amazon for $8.97+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
17. And a pack of two door draft stoppers with adhesive strips that make for easy install. No more losing precious warm air when you turn your heater on!
These stoppers are wider than the strips above, so that makes them a better fit for doors with a large gap between them and the floor.
Promising review: "I bought this to seal the bottom of the door between the kitchen and our uninsulated mud room. Before installing this, the cold winter air could be felt 4-5 feet from the door. Now, I can barely feel it. It was easy to install; I was able to cut it with scissors, and it stuck well. One note: It’s not easy to adjust if you need to make a change once it’s been stuck down." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).
18. An adjustable window AC unit cover to protect you from the wintry winds that will try to blow through your unit's vent. Its embedded cotton also prevents warm air from escaping your home and venturing into the wild.
Just be sure to check the size of the cover against the size of your AC unit!
Promising review: "I love it. I put it on, and then, in probably a half hour, I could notice the change in the room. That breeze was gone." —DA-BIGGUY
Get it from Amazon for $16.49+ (available in four sizes and in black and white).
19. A darling snowman made from the pages of a book. No snow? No problem! These little paper snowmen make glorious centerpieces
Based in Indiana, Root to Vine is a whimsical small business making charming pieces of decor.
Promising review: "I love it! I only bought one and now I feel bad because I do not want it to be lonely so I will definitely buy the rest in the near future. It's cute and can stay out for the whole winter because it's not holiday-related." —Gracen Cloud Walter
Get it from Root to Vine on Etsy for $17.60+ (available in three sizes and in sets of three and in two hat colors).
20. A soft checkered fleece throw blanket so you don't have to ruin your perfectly made bed to get toasty under covers. This cute blankie will keep you comfy on chilly movie nights.
Promising reviews: "Really soft blanket. Light and fluffy yet warm." —Amazon Customer
"This thing is heavenly! So cute and wildly soft! My kiddos are obsessed with it, but it’s Mom's blanket. Haha. I definitely will be getting more in different colors." —Sabrina Padgett
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes and 16 colors).
21. A ceramic cup warmer because you've been heating that same cup of coffee in the microwave all morning, and it just *doesn't* have to be like that. Now you can enjoy your warm bev even as low temperatures threaten to make it cold.
Promising review: "I'm a very slow tea/coffee drinker, so having this mini hot plate is amazing. I can have hot tea until the last sip! Life changing. I use it every day. I'm using it as I write this review. I drink more tea because I know it won't get cold and sad. My roommates all want one now." —PDT
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
22. A baby wipe warmer if your little one has made it known that they are not a fan of a cold wipe on their bottom. It's even got a night-light feature that has a 10-minute auto shutoff.
Promising review: "I love this thing. I’m SO glad I got it. My child is 2 months old and we’ve been using it since we got home and there’s been zero mold. It’s super easy to fill and holds a whole pack of wipes. It has a nice long cord as well as a little light, and it locks on the sides of the bottom lid to keep it down when pulling out wipes. Now, when I use cold wipes in the daytime, they bother my hands because I’m used to the warm wipes, so I can’t imagine how nice it is for my little one to have them warmed up. It heats up only on the top of the lockable portion of the warmer. Not too hot, not too cold, and no little hands can get into it as long as it’s locked. The only issue (which isn’t huge) that I’ve run into is that when the wipes get low, the inside gets pretty hot. This is fixed as soon as it’s filled again. I was so indecisive on this issue and I’m so glad I decided to splurge." —BR
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (also available with an organizer).
23. A set of pinecone-shaped candles whose blended fir, citrus, and earthen scent is inspired by pine trees and will keep spirits in your home feeling lifted.
Anaïs Candle is a small business based in New York City hand-crafting gorgeous and fragrant candles using cosmetic grade all-natural beeswax and soy wax.
Get a set of three from Anaïs Candle for $95 (originally $105), or purchase individually for $38.
24. A set of string light curtains sure to make you feel like you're living in a winter wonderland.
It comes with eight different light modes, including a *twinkle* mode, with a controller attached to the lights so you can easily switch between them.
Promising review: "Love the ease of these lights! I bought two sets for two different bedrooms for my daughters and they ABSOLUTELY love them! They are easy to hang up over the curtains. I love that I don’t have to worry about trying to string together several strands of Christmas lights that are way too long and super heavy over the curtain rod. The LED lights are very lightweight so they don’t put any extra weight on my curtain rods. Also, we love the different light modes that it can do. My girls love the warm glow that it gives to their bedrooms. The first thing my almost teenage daughter said was, 'My room looks like a Pinterest room!' So overall, it was a WIN-WIN! Definitely worth the money!" —MyMomShopsAtGoodwill
Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven colors and two styles).
25. A handheld LED showerhead that displays the water's temperature so you don't have to unknowingly step into a freezing cold shower. It even changes color to let you know how hot the water is!
Promising review: "I've had this for several months and wanted to give it some time before reviewing it. I LOVE this showerhead! No more ice cold water or scalding burns when stepping into the shower and no more leaning into the shower with one hand in the water stream and the other hand adjusting the taps (my poor aching back) WAITING for the water to change temps. It also has great outflow pressure so I don't have to crank up the water on full, although that does make the light-up bit a little dimmer but that's OK. It just means it will work well with low water pressure and still light up, just not as bright. The slim head is chunky yet easy to grip and maneuver for my arthritic hands." —Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
26. An electric kettle — what do you want? Tea! When do you want it? Now! Always have hot water at the ready for your coffee, soups, hot cocoa, and more. The kettle itself is cordless and portable for easy serving!
Promising reviews: "Love it. It's just the right size for our little kitchen. Holds enough water both of us to have tea or coffee or oatmeal. So glad I got it." —Terri Martin
"I turn it on 3–5 times a day to make my various teas. Heats up like a gem and rather quickly. It’s super easy to use and clean. Pretty shiny lighting always fascinates me like the bird that I am." —Jeanine Sunshine
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two colors).
27. A luxe towel warmer so you can always wrap yourself in warmth and comfort this winter. I mean, a towel that feels like it just came out of the dryer? Right when you step out of the shower? Yes, please!
It heats up in just one minute and reaches the highest temperature in just six minutes. It *also* has up to 60 minutes of heating time.
Promising review: "Not only is this great for robes and towels (the dogs greatly appreciate it too after a bath) but blankets, socks, and jammies are awesome too. There’s even a holder inside the lid that allows you to place fragrance discs in for adding a lavender scent for bedtime. Definitely worth the investment for pampering yourself." —K. Evans
Get it from Amazon for $146.99+ (available in four colors).
28. A sleek and multi-functional Hatch Restore sound machine that also mimics sunrise to help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up. Now that the sun will be rising later and later, this might just come in handy. You can even control it using the Hatch Sleep app!
Get a free trial of the Hatch Sleep membership with purchase and browse soothing content!
Promising review: "We're coming into the winter months, and I already really struggle to get up early, no matter how much sleep I get. Decided to take the plunge and get the Hatch Restore, and wow. Guys, it works. The light is incredibly bright, the volume is much louder than I expected, and the white noise sounds have gotten us into deep sleep quickly. My body is gently waking itself up a few times in the 30-minute sunrise phase, so when the alarm goes off, it feels good to get up and get going. Coming from a mom of three kids ages 4 and under, I was needing to get better about getting up before them to get the day started—this has been a lifesaver. Worth every single dollar." —Jonny Porter
Get it from Amazon for $129.99.
29. Or an affordable sunrise alarm clock because it'll gently wake you up with sunlight and your choice of nature sounds or FM radio. Start the day with ease and comfort so you are grounded when the day speeds up!
Promising review: "I bought this to combat the darkness in the morning, and I wanted something that didn’t have an aggressive alarm. I’ve been using this for a week and have been pleasantly surprised! It allows you to set two alarms—so you can have one for weekends and one for weekdays OR you can set one for yourself and one for your partner. The clock begins to gradually lighten up ten minutes before your alarm and reaches the ultimate brightness when it’s time for your alarm to go off. I also feel better when I wake up." —Teal Lover
Get it from Amazon for $42.98+ (available in two colors).
30. A ceramic knitted sweater mug if you love two things more than everything else: being cozy and hot cocoa. This colorful mug is sure to inspire brighter (and maybe even warmer) days.
Based in Washington, Creative With Clay is a small Etsy shop owned by Charan Sachar, who crafts unique and colorful pieces inspired by their Indian culture and art.
Promising review: "This mug is stitched to perfection! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! It is my favorite mug forever now. And I will be saving up for more in the future from this shop!" —Kimberly Kwon
Get it from Creative With Clay on Etsy for $50 (available in five colors).
31. A hand-poured soy wax candle to fill your home with the soft and soothing scents of wintertime. Choose from fragrances like Christmas tree, gingerbread, and candy cane!
Red Barn Candle Company is a Dallas-based small Etsy shop hand-making all-natural candles for your home.
Promising review: "Smelled great! The smell lasted longer than other candles I've bought." —Ella Hubbard
Get it from Red Barn Candle Company on Etsy for $14.99+ (available in three sizes and lots of fragrances).
32. A plush, double-sided shaggy faux-fur duvet set that'll make it nearly impossible for you to leave bed! And since one side is faux fur and the other side is velvet, you'll be cozy no matter which one you choose.
Promising review: "If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I’d grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it and it's seriously so cozy and well made. My only complaint would be how hard this thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things so I’m here to tell you — if you’re on the fence about buying this...do it!!" —Sk
Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and 29 colors).

33. A pack of hot cocoa bombs — pour steamed milk over one of these bad boys to have some of the best hot chocolate of your life. Choose between one of 11 flavors, and enjoy gourmet chocolate bursting with marshmallows and chocolate chips!
Big Bear Chocolates is a small biz in Spokane, Washington that crafts delicious candy apples, hot chocolate bombs, fudge, and more!
Promising review: "Absolutely amazing! I live in Texas, so I was pretty much resigned to getting these half melted, but the seller was very smart!! They wrapped it in multiple layers of bubble wrap and included two (still very cold) ice packs! My bombs were not only in perfect condition but they were so adorable! I tried the white chocolate peppermint one right away and I don’t think I can ever have store-bought cocoa again. It was pink, my favorite color, and watching it melt was so fun. I loved all the little bits of candy can and the marshmallows, it was a great pick me up. Thank you so much!!" —Trevor Lyle Angelo
Get four from Big Bear Chocolates on Etsy for $6.89+ (available in a variety of flavors).
34. A waterproof and slip-resistant bath pillow if your neck needs a little support as you lounge in a warm bubble bath this winter.
Promising review: "I bought this as a replacement for my older pillow and it took a lot of searching to find what I wanted. I like the plastic pillows as they are easy to clean and dry quickly. I take bubble baths several times a week and must have a good 'soaking pillow.' After much research and reviewing, I decided on this one. It is comfortable and sticks well. It's easy to clean. I don't care for the terry-cloth or material type pillows as they hold water and can get moldy (yuck!). So glad I found this one!!" —pinkkitty427
Get it from Amazon for $16.25+ (available in two sizes and six colors).
35. A portable oscillating space heater with an adjustable thermostat to keep you warm as you sit by your window and sip on hot tea. This energy-efficient heater not only gets hot super fast but is also super quiet.
Promising review: "Firstly, this heater puts out a tremendous amount of heat. I got this for a room that doesn't have a door so I didn't expect it to heat the space that well. Surprisingly, this heater not only makes the entire space comfy, but the adjacent hall to the room manages to get warm from this heater as well. It's also incredibly quiet. It's the quietest heater I've had for this space, and I've had a few different ones in this space. It's also so sleek. It looks high tech while not requiring a lot of space or tech know-how. Plug it in and either push power on the remote or power on the actual device and you're ready to go. It has three modes and yes, I can tell the difference between low and high heat output. The timer is wonderful. And the remote is serviceable enough to be useful." —L. Thornhill
Get it from Amazon for $63.74.
36. A set of four self-adhesive shower curtain clips — one of the worst things about winter is the cold air ruining what would otherwise be a scalding hot shower. Protect your steam with these clips! They'll also help keep water from splashing onto your bathroom floor.
Promising review: "I have a lot of trouble with leakage around my tub when I shower. I tried double liners, magnets, etc., but the curtain still blows enough to leak onto the floor, and from there, through the ceiling of the dining room downstairs around an infinitesimal gap between flooring and wall. I was desperate, so I gave these a try. Problem solved. Liner stays tight against the tile and can be freed for cleaning." —D Polsky
Get the pack of four on Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of eight).
37. A heated toilet seat because your bare butt deserves better than a too-cold porcelain throne. And there are three heat settings to choose from. It's even got a night-light so you don't have to bother turning your overhead on!
38. A pre-lit artificial Christmas tree — now Santa has a place to rest all of your presents! This gorgeous gorgeous tree comes adorned with lights, frosted tips, pine cones, and berries.
39. Or 30 mini artificial trees so you can decorate every room in your home with the spirit of Christmas.
