3. This double-sided sherpa blanket will keep you toasty and cozy, no matter how low the temperature drops.
4. A free-standing electric fireplace, because not everyone can have a real wood-burning fire in their apartment. Plus, it has a thermal safety shut-off, so you never have to worry about leaving it unattended. No more errant sparks!
5. Hygge all the way home with this plush blanket scarf that you can wear in a million different ways. It makes an ideal travel companion in the chilly months ahead.

7. A seasonal candle like this Balsam & Cedar one from Yankee Candle will fill your home with its festive forest scent. Candles are a budget-friendly way to add instant hygge to your space!
It also has a hint of juniper berry to give it a bit of extra woodsy spice. Plus it burns for up to 110 hours, so you can enjoy it all season long.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $31.72.
8. If you prefer the flicker without the fragrance, tucking these tealight candles into sparkling votives is a great alternative. Spread them around your space to imbue it with a homey aura.
9. Keep your tootsies toasty with this lush, high-pile rug. It might not be a magic carpet, but it'll definitely add some *magic* to your living space.
Keep it by your bedside to avoid cold morning toes, or next to your couch to add a touch of colour to your home. Make sure you also get a non-slip liner, too, to keep it in place.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $49+ (available in eight sizes and in nine colours).

11. Keep your hot drinks hot for longer with these double-walled glass mugs. Because they're see-through, you can also use them to display elaborate festive drinks, but they're also striking to pair with your morning espresso.
12. Or this insulated camp-style mug so you can take your fave hot beverage (and that sense of hygge) on the go. It'll conjure up feelings of campfire coziness wherever you are!
13. Drape these curtain fairy lights over your windows to create a twinkling winter wonderland (sans snow). There's no need to venture out into the cold when you can have all the *sparkle* at home!
14. A pack of these wool-blend socks that'll keep your feet warm, NOT sweaty. They'll pair nicely with every hygge-inspired outfit you throw on.
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)!
Get pack of five pairs on Amazon Canada for $7.97+ (available in six colour packs).
15. A set of flannel bed sheets that'll take the comfort and warmth of your fave flannel shirt from closet to bedroom. The rustic buffalo check will make you feel like you're tucked away in a mountain cabin sipping a hot cocoa, even if you're stuck in the city.
16. This sheepskin rug makes a great snuggly addition to your favourite chair, or you can toss it on the floor for an extra lush rug. I've turned my entire living room into a den of comfiness with several of these, and I'm never going back.
17. Serve up some feelings of contentment with this dinner set that'll have friends and family begging to come over. Let the good times roll!
With enough pieces to serve a full dinner for six people, it's the perfect backdrop for your favourite seasonal culinary creations.

Don't forget to get yourself some servingware, too!
