1. Tuck yourself into this sumptuous velvet armchair, and binge all your favourite movies and TV shows. Or pick up that book you've been meaning to check out!

2. Make things even cozier with this sheepskin rug by tossing it onto your favourite chair, or layer several on the floor for max coziness. I've turned my entire living room into a den of comfiness with several of these, and I'm never going back.
3. Fight back against blistery winds and harsh indoor heating with this Black & Decker ultrasonic humidifer. Pop it into a glass or bottle of water, and let it get to work!
4. Protect your favourite footwear with these all-natural leather cleaning wipes. They'll make quick work of mud, grime, dust, and (#BLESS) salt stains on virtually all shoes — even delicate suede.

And because they're all natural, they won't irritate your skin. If you're the proactive type, you can also get the Shoe Rescue wax that'll help you waterproof and protect your shoes before snowy weather hits.

7. Sip your favourite caffeinated beverage with these double-walled espresso glasses. Add on a milk frother, and you'll have coffee shop-quality drinks without actually having to go to the coffee shop (because winter weather is yucky).

Reviewers are completely obsessed — the double layer of borosilicate glass keeps hands cool when handling a steaming cup of espresso, while still being comfortable enough to sip. They're dishwasher safe, but some users recommend hand washing to prevent cloudiness over time.

10. Approximate hibernation under this king-sized down alternative comforter that'll still give you the comfort and coziness of genuine down without any pesky allergens.

11. Turn your kitchen into the hottest buck-a-shuck bar in town with this fancy oyster shucker. Even though your cravings for these bivalves might be at their peak in summer, oysters are actually BEST eaten in the winter. They're rich in iron and minerals that'll help keep your immune system firing on all cylinders (and nasty colds at bay).

The full-tang stainless steel blade is strong, durable, and rust-resistant, and the pakka wood handle gives it a bit of a rustic touch. But what really makes this oyster knife special is the oversized hand guard that'll prevent unpleasant injuries. And it even comes with a genuine leather sheath and a protective glove — that's one fancy mothershucker!
Get it on Amazon Canada for $30.99 (also available in glove sizes M-XL).

13. Block out the terrible weather with these thermal insulated blackout curtains that'll finally give you that restful sleep you've been after. They also help reduce outside noise, which is great if you're sick and tired of listening to your neighbours.
14. Bring back the lush greenery of summer with these peel-and-stick wall decals. They'll help remind you that spring will come (eventually), no matter how grey and dark it currently is outside.

Reviewers say they're easy to install, and can be repositioned multiple times without losing their stick.

18. Slip on a pair of these wool-blend socks to keep your feet warm, NOT sweaty. They'll pair nicely with every winter 'fit you'll be rocking.
Wool is great, but it can sometimes be itchy and confining. Good thing these socks have a generous amount of stretch, so you can give your tender tootsies some much-needed breathing room. If they're going to be stuck in boots for several months, make sure they're snug as a bug in a rug (or boot)!

It emits three levels of brightness at a max of 10,000 lux, without any UV light or other radiation. All you need is ten minutes a day to beat the winter blahs. We got one for my dad over Christmas, and he's noticed a drastic change after just a few days!

22. Layer up with this luxe cashmere sweater that's a hypoallergenic alternative to traditional wool sweaters. It's thin enough to wear under coats, but can still be worn over thermal shirts when the temperature REALLY plummets.

The plush shearling lining will feel ~soooo~ nice when you smoosh your feet inside after coming home from shovelling the driveway (for the third time that day).

They have a lightweight lug sole, too, so they can also be worn outside. Maybe get yourself a protectant spray as well — just in case! It'll keep the suede looking its best for a lot longer.
