Chic trench coats, cozy flannel sheets, a highly rated moisturizer, and other useful things for the best season (IMO).
After seeing this powerful machine in action at a previous job, I immediately put it on my wish list. Three years later, I finally took the leap and bought one for my apartment. I'm extremely picky about my cappuccinos, and this thing makes them just as good as a specialized coffee shop. Although it was a splurge, I haven't spent money on coffee outside since I got this thing (I used to buy one at least every other day), which will actually save me money in the long run. No regrets! It comes with a built-in grinder, a milk frother, descaling packets, and all the accessories you'll need to get started.
Promising review: "I do not understand how this thing is only $500. I’m a manager for a cafe, and we run a $25,000 four-group La Marzocco and a $7,000 grinder, and it’s like I never even left the shop. Everything about this product is stellar. It comes with everything you need to brew a good shot. All you need is a knock box. I was worried that it would feel kind of cheap due to the price but I was wrong. The portafilter is heavy duty, I was worried it would be flimsy. It’s not. The grinder produces a consistent grind every time. The machine itself looks beautiful and is heavy duty. Not much plastic to be found. Steam wand has the perfect amount of power and allows you to really get the temp and froth perfect. Skilled baristas will have no problem doing great latte art with this machine. It’s all in one. No separate grinder needed, and the included grinder is high quality. Very easy to setup. Shots have good crema, great flow rate, but obviously this will more so depend on beans and proper dosing, but just know you can make some very good espresso. Best decision I’ve made. It is great for people who are wanting to get into espresso/coffee but don’t want to spend a fortune, yet it is so high quality that a skilled barista can fine tune everything for their idea of a perfect shot." —Spetsnaz

I own and love this mug — even though the body is made of stainless-steel, the ceramic coating prevents my coffee from getting even the slightest metallic taste, and the shape and texture of the mug makes it very satisfying to hold in my hands. The minimalist design is just the cherry on top. It's designed to retain heat for 12 hours and stay cold for 24 hours, and although my drinks have never lasted that long before I finished them, they do stay very warm as I'm sipping on them throughout the day.
Promising review: "Better than any mug I’ve ever owned. I’m a nurse and this thing keeps coffee hot more than six hours which is amazing. I’ve bought two of them as gifts I love it so much." —Amazon Customer

These are our mid-priced pick for the best everyday sneakers on BuzzFeed Reviews!
Promising review: "I hate socks, and I don't need them with these shoes. I wore them for 12 hours, mostly standing the first day. No blisters, just happy feet." —Kimberly

Plus, the jacket compresses like down and disappears into your backpack when stuffed into its own chest pocket.
Promising review: "I was on the hunt for a lighter synthetic down jacket that would keep me warm in windy San Francisco and that would also be practical for outdoor adventures. After pretty extensive research, I decided on the Nano Puff, and I'm so glad I did. This jacket is lightweight but also does a great job protecting against the SF wind. I can layer a thin, hooded vest underneath to add additional warmth if needed. I could've gone with a medium if I wanted more room. The small isn't too tight and doesn't restrict my movement during outdoor activities." —SFcoloradobuff
Get it from REI for $199 (available in sizes XS–XXL and eight colors)
Promising review: "I have combo acne skin. With the weather change, I've been getting flaky skin around my chin, nose, and forehead so bad, it's itchy. I was intimidated by the packaging because it looks like medication. But holy! After my first application I was sold! My skin is so plump and smooth! It has evened out my skin texture, soothed the flaking/dryness, and it seems to be plumping up my acne scaring so my face is a smooth surface vs deep marks from scaring. This also doesn't make your skin oily — it absorbs quickly!" —Kickashfitness

This robo-vac has an infrared-sensor for evading obstacles and drop-sensing tech to avoid falls. It also automatically recharges so it's always ready to clean. It comes with a remote control (two AAA batteries included), charging base, AC power adapter, cleaning tool, an extra set of high-performance filters, four side brushes, and five cable ties. It can clean continuously for up to 100 minutes.
Promising review: "We are very pleased with our Eufy who we named Sneaky Pete because he is very quiet and can sneak up on you. We run him twice a day and are always surprised how much grime and pet hair he picks up. The instructions are simple and clear. Cleaning is super easy. He travels under beds and couches where we would not normally be able to reach with the traditional vacuum. After comparing all of the leading robo-vacs, we chose the Eufy because it was rated as high as expensive ones and was less than half of the cost. We chose well. Like all robo-vacs, Pete will become confused on an area that is black due to the anti-fall safety feature. Like a black patch of a rug. But, we don't hold that against him. Our dog is totally indifferent to Pete which is another pleasant surprise. We are very happy with our Eufy." —Dahna Brinkley

This handy kitchen gadget has seven functions: rice cooker, pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, sauté, yogurt maker, and warmer! Check out our review of the Instant Pot!
Promising review: "This is quite possibly the coolest, most versatile kitchen gadget I’ve ever owned. I love it so much that I’ve purchased two more for friends and relatives. What can it do? I think the real question is 'What can’t it do?' I truly believe you could replace every cooking appliance (including your oven and stove top) and do EVERYTHING in the Instant Pot. I purchased two sizes for my own use: the three-quart (which is my almost-every-day workhorse for two person dishes) and the eight-quart (which I bring out to handle my dinner party dishes). Everything I’ve tried has been fabulous. In the realm of kitchen appliances, there is no better investment than the Instant Pot. Highly recommended!!!" —Stereoman

Promising review: "I am perpetually cold, so when the mercury plummets I break out an accumulated collection of down duvets and flannel sheet sets. I have tried flannel sheets from a number of well-known retailers. These are a bit more expensive but are dramatically better than any of their competitors. The fabric is heavy but not stiff or stifling, the cut is generous enough that you don’t find yourself pulling your share of the blankets back from your spouse in the middle of the night, and they wash and wear like a dream (no shrinking or piling, through multiple seasons). I have purchased these for king, full, and twin size beds and the quality is the same. Awesome. They are so much better than any others I have tried, I would rather save up for these than settle for anything else. Well worth the investment." —legallybrunette

Promising review: "I'm the kind of person who used to always buy the printed copies (I love the smell and feel of books). But I've got to admit this is a really practical way to carry around your books when traveling (it's really light and easy to take everywhere), and it really does feel like reading an actual book (compared to tablets and reading on your phone). The waterproof feature it's really just a wonderful plus." —Daniela

Promising review: "When I initially received it in the packaging I thought this thing could not possible keep me warm. The moment I got into bed and covered up it felt like heaven. It’s not heavy at all and keeps me very warm! Will definitely invest in your other comforter so I can swap them out during different seasons. I will recommend this to all family and friends!" —Shavonne
Get it from Standard Textile Home for $109–$149 (available in sizes twin–king).
Promising review: "Warm, durable, not bulky. I wore these today during a four-mile outdoor run. The conditions were 36 degrees with sleeting snow. They kept me warm! They aren’t bulky and they stood up to a little dog biting me on the calf, without any punctures! It was a tough run today, and the Altitude Tight was up to the task!" —Jae
Get them from Athleta for $98 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and four colors).
I treated myself to this gem when I moved apartments. It's plenty loud for a small living room and the sound quality is actually pretty amazing.
Promising review: "What can I say about Bose products that hasn't already been said? This sound bar far outshines other sound bars of this size. The ability to clarify the spoken word in movies and TV shows has allowed me to be able to enjoy TV again!" —Lea Idlewine
Get it from Amazon for $199.
Promising review: "I really thought I could find a jacket like this at a cheaper price, but this is SO worth the investment! I ordered a size larger because I wanted to wear thick sweaters underneath and it fits exactly the way I wanted it to! The relaxed fit is so nice, and it's not cropped." —lexi

Read our full review of the Aquis hair towel!
Promising review: "This towel is amazing! I have thick, long hair that takes forever to blow dry (and for that reason, I don't use a hair dryer). This towel removes so much moisture from my hair in such a short amount of time! Within about five minutes of wrapping my hair up, I can remove the towel, use a spray-in conditioner, and be on my way without having to worry about my hair leaving wet spots on my shirt! So, I finally made this repeat purchase so I have a backup towel in case I lose this towel on a vacation. I love this so much I've been reluctant to bring it with me anyone for fear of losing it. Seriously, I love this!" —Stephanie M Garcia
