    Promising review: "This coat is no joke. The coldest temperature I tested it out was 9 degrees, and I did not feel like I was freezing at all! I even tried to wear with just a T-shirt, no sweaters/layers underneath, to see if I felt cold...nothing. No cold! Boomshakalaka! It's also so stylish, roomy, has a thousand pockets (goodbye purse!), and looks different from all the rest out there." —Zhure

    Get it from Amazon for $149.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–5XL and in 13 colors).

    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 $15.07.

    Promising reviews: "This stuff is a bit pricey, but you are paying for a quality solution for dry skin. Every time I try to use something cheaper, it doesn't work and I always come back to this. Nothing works like Aquaphor." —MCMXCVI

    Get it from Amazon for $15.97.

    5. 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!

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99.

    6. A four-pack of Starbucks syrups that'll make your coffee taste like you got it from your fave chain cafe. Get vanilla, caramel, and hazelnut syrups and never travel out in the cold to get a frappuccino again.

    Lynn & Gray is a Pennsylvania-based small biz handcrafting essential oil diffusers and simple syrups.

    Flavors include: lavender, vanilla bean, cinnamon dolce, salted maple, Mexican mocha, and peppermint mocha.

    Promising review: "This is my second time ordering their simple syrups, and it won’t be my last. They are coffee shop quality, and allow me to make perfect espresso beverages at home. The lavender is my favorite, and I cannot get enough of it. The salted maple might be a close second though!" —Amanda Duva

    Get it from Lynn & Gray on Etsy for $18+ (available with or without gift wrapping).

    8. 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 $17.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors).

    9. 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 nightlight so you don't have to bother turning your overhead on!

    Promising review: "We live in Minnesota and let the heating drop down in our house at night. This makes the late night bathroom trips a lot more comfortable. A nice luxury." —D

    Get it from Amazon for $135.27+ (available in two shapes and three colors).

    10. A rechargeable hand warmer for keeping your hands nice and cozy while you're out and about braving lower temperatures. You can customize your comfort thanks to its three heating levels!

    Promising review: “This hand warmer is amazing! My hands are constantly cold and I've tried all sorts of products to help keep them warm but nothing has worked until now. I charge the hand warmer every night with a standard USB charger and the next day I have hours of warmth.” —RK

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 10 colors and in packs of two).

    11. An oversized sherpa blanket-hoodie as seen on Shark Tank — it doesn't get comfier than a blanket you can wear! Double-layered with luxurious fleece, this hoodie will keep you warm all winter long.

    Promising review: "Super soft inside and out. When I saw The Comfy on Shark Tank I just knew I had to have one. I live near the beach and it is perfect for chilly mornings and cool evenings. I absolutely love mine. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fabric. It feels so luxurious that I want to wear it all the time. I bought myself a navy blue one but I am already thinking of getting a couple more ordered for both my kids. Great product." —Kat

    Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in 16 colors/patterns).

    12. 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).

    13. A scarf hanger whose 23 loops will keep your collection neat and tidy. It'll also be easier than trying to find a scarf that's tangled in a messy bin somewhere.

    It can also be used to store belts, ties, or leggings.

    Promising review: "This thing is amazing. I was skeptical about buying, because all the other reviews had pictures with lighter summery/spring scarves but my collection is mostly winter wear. I wasn’t sure it would hold all my large blanket scarves, but it does. My grandmother saw it and asked me to order one for her! This was the perfect solution to my organization problem." —Nikolette

    Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in three colors).

    14. A lil' Keurig coffee pod organizer if coffee is your warm winter bev of choice. It's particularly helpful if half-empty boxes of pods are holding your pantry hostage.

    Promising review: “I bought two of these to store my various K-Cups in. Each drawer is long enough to hold 18 pods. I used each organizer to hold a particular flavor then cut the label of the box and placed it at the end, so I can easily identify what I want.” —Charlie Johnson 

    Get it from Amazon for $28.97.

    15. A tea bag organizer with six roomy drawers so your mint, English breakfast, and lavender teas aren't sprawled across your kitchen counters or ballooning in your cabinets.

    Several reviewers have taken Command strips and mounted this tea organizer to the wall or their fridge to save even more space!

    Promising review: "I was able to replace a big basket on my kitchen counter with this tidy little tea bag organizer! The drawers are generously sized and fit a variety of brands with no problem. I did use the trick suggested by some of the other reviewers and alternated putting the bags right-side-up and upside-down in the drawers. Depending on how fat the bags were, this sometimes allowed me to fit an entire box of tea into a single drawer." —Resembling Q. Velcro

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five colors).

    16. A cozy Carhartt beanie for keeping your head warm and stylish. You'll be tempted to get one in every color!

    Promising reviews: "Bought this as a gift for husband and he loves it. It is very comfy and warm. Worked out well for the winter months. It was worth the money, and I have already bought a couple of others in different colors." —KAGS

    "I bought this in charcoal and lost it on a trip, so I bought the exact color again because I missed it so much. Now, I'm back to buy it in more colors. It is thick (because it's a watch cap), but I wear it year-round in Dallas or Chicago. It's my favorite hat. The fit is snug to the point that I can sling my head back without it falling off, and it fits over my afro or straight hair the same and doesn't lose its stretch after washing." —CE.

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 35 colors).

    17. 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!

    A close up of what the strips look like in the middle that shows the foam part

    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).

    18. 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!

    close up of the same door but with a white suptike door draft stopper installed at the bottom gap

    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).

    19. A fun and cozy tortilla blanket so you can finally wrap yourself up into a warm burrito!

    Promising review: "I love everything about this blanket. It's warm and cute. It looks amazing. I love that it's double-sided so you always get the nice cooked tortilla look no matter how you use it. My cat LOVES it and has claimed it as his own. I don't have the heart to move him. I might need to buy another one for my own use." —DeathINSight

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in four sizes and six styles, including waffles and pizza).

    20. An electric fabric shaver to safely save your favorite winter sweaters from pills, fuzz, and matted fibers.

    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 $13.99+ (available in six colors and two styles).

    21. A pair of fleece-lined sweatpants if you're looking for a little buffer between you and those cool breezes.

    FYI, this is included in Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!

    Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE these pants!! I bought them for RV camping in the winter and walking my dog during cold weather. I must say that I wore a pair of these every day when camping and never wanted to take them off! The warmth was AMAZING!!!" —REBECCA

    Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and in nine colors).

    22. Or, a pair of fleece-lined leggings so you can go for a run without having to suffer the cold.

    Promising reviews: “These leggings are perfect for keeping you warm.” —Meg 

    "They stack up favorably against high-end leggings several times their price, never seem to get dirty, and are as perfect for winter running in subzero temperatures as they are for dressing up with a cute tunic-length sweater and stylish boots." —Helen Faith

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and in 27 colors).

    23. And fleece-lined jeans because you don't have to sacrifice your aesthetic just to stay warm.

    Some reviewers say they run a little small, but others recommend ordering your true size.

    Promising review: "The perfect winter jean! Such a cute, modern, flattering fit. Fits nicely on the hips rather than way up under my boobs like Carhartt's do. Extremely soft fleece material that keeps me very warm in the Colorado winter. I definitely recommend these jeans for anyone wanting to stay warm and look cute." —sara

    Get them from Amazon for $39.90 (available in waist sizes 28–38 inches, all 30 inches long; and nine colors).

    24. 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.

    25. A thermal windshield cover if you simply don't have time or energy in the morning to scrape snow and ice off your car. Just place the elastic straps around the rearview mirrors, and your windshield is weatherproof!

    Promising review: "I bought the cover for my Dodge Caliber and it fits like a glove. The straps go around the side mirrors and the flaps get folded into the car and you shut the doors. This keeps the fabric nice and tight so the wind will not move it. It covers the wipers and the little space between the wipers and the hood, so ice and snow will not accumulate there either. I pulled it off after light snow last night and it just slid right off. I folded it and threw it in the back. Perfect for winter weather." —Paula

    Get it on Amazon for $39.95.

    26. A cute insulated sleeve perfect for keeping your fingers from freezing due to your yearlong need for iced coffee in particular.

    Promising review: "I cannot say enough positive things about the Java Sok. As a regular iced coffee drinker (Starbucks on the daily), this thing is truly awesome! I use it in the car, office, home...everywhere! I will be purchasing the other sizes and will get a few as gifts for my office peeps. Added bonus...seems to keep my drink colder longer. Buy the Java Sok...you will not be disappointed!" —Lyndsey L

    Get it from Amazon for $11.19+ (available in six sizes and dozens of prints).

    27. 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!

    Promising reviews: "It's easy to set up and use for indoor marshmallow roasting!" —Elisa

    "This looks very high end and it’s so easy to use. I don’t think I’ll go back to propane fire pits because this has no odor and feels safer." —Mikey

    Get it from Amazon for $69.99.

    29. A set of hoodie hangers if your entire collection has been taking up too much closet space, bruh. These convenient hangers were designed to make storing your hoodies less of a headache.

    If you're in need of hoodie hangers or actual hoodies, then small biz Venalli out in Kansas is the shop for you!

    Promising review: "I'm obsessed with these hoodie hangers!! I have a really small closet, but I find these hangers are a great way to save space! They also make it super easy to throw your hoodie up in a rush or grab it on the go. I will definitely be buying more." —Sara

    Get a five-pack from Venalli on Etsy for $18.86+ (available in four colors and in packs of 10).

    Promising review: "I used to store seasonal clothing in plastic bins. No more! It’s amazing how much these bags compress. Really saves closet space. Plus, you can see what’s in them without opening multiple bins. I packed RV bedding (pillows/comforter) in one jumbo bag." —Mary

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four sizes and three pack sizes).

    31. A compact personal heater you can take with you while you're on the go. Whether you're moving from room to room in your home or from home to your office, you'll be nice and toasty. Though it only has one setting, reviewers say that it provides the perfect amount of heat. 

    Promising review: "My office was FREEZING due to unfixable circumstances. This little heater is great. It does not have to gear up; it immediately starts putting out heat when turned on. The top and sides remain cool while the device is on. I sit directly in front of the heater, and I’m not too hot or too cool; it’s perfect. I sit underneath an air vent, and this little thing cancels out the freezing air much to my liking. My office is small and enclosed, so the heat fills the entire space after a while (maybe 45–60 minutes). Good buy! I recommend it!" —BB.J

    Get it on Amazon for $17.57 (available in four colors).

    32. Or 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. 

    reviewer image of the space heater set on 73 degrees
    image of remote in reviewer's hand

    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 $67.49.

    33. A full-spectrum sunlight therapy lamp if you'll miss reading outside on a sunny day this winter. This adjustable lamp can help relieve eye stress *and* boost any seasonally affected moods you might have.

    Get it from Amazon for $23.50+ (available in seven colors).

    34. A pair of warm leather touchscreen gloves that'll provide a great grip for driving or biking and also let you use your smartphone without sacrificing your fingers to frostbite.

    Promising reviews: "I LOVE these gloves!! They are so soft, warm, and fit AMAZING!! The leather is lambskin and they are lined with CASHMERE!! They have touch technology for using your phone or any type of touch electronic, so you don't have to take your gloves off in the bitter cold. I have had quite a few pairs of leather gloves over the years, and these are the nicest ones yet. WOW!!!" —Staze Craze

    36. Hunter shearling insoles you'll wanna add to all your boots, especially those rain boots you wear every winter even though they don't have any insulation. There's no need for your feet to brave the cold any longer.

    Promising review: "Perfect addition to my rain boot! I was battling cold feet on rainy Connecticut days until I came across this product. It makes a world of difference. I'm not a big fan of chunky socks, and this eliminates needing wool socks." —Miss Sarah

    Get them from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in women's sizes 5–11).

    37. A set of four self-adhesive shower curtain clips because 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).

    38. An electric treadmill you can slide under your standing desk for a mini workout while you're typing. Now you can avoid the cold gusts and winter snow outside and exercise indoors!

    Promising reviews: "One of the best things I have purchased! I can easily walk and work at the same time. I get tons of steps in. Definitely recommend this product!!" —Maria Raza

    "BUY NOW!! This product is so sturdy and not loud at all. I've asked my coworkers if they can hear it on our teams meetings and on the phone and no one could hear it. The easiest to put together, basically comes ready to go." —Amazon Customer
