Getting a little too hot? Turn the heater off and enjoy the flames and crackling on their own! Promising review: "So realistic! I absolutely love these logs! I searched through every set on Amazon and online, and finally settled on this set. I am so glad I did! The remote control makes it very easy, and the flames and logs look amazingly real. The crackle of the fire can be turned on or off and can also be adjusted.
..low/high.
It sounds so real, I feel the need to put a fireplace screen up. This is an excellent product. No problems whatsoever.
Opened the box and plugged it in. It’s very hard to tell they are not real. It’s soothing, relaxing, and comforting.
One of the greatest purchases I’ve ever made." — M Hall Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in three sizes).

3. A set of blackout curtains to really complete the cave-like ambiance you're going for. Reviewers say the wrinkle-resistant curtains block out light even when the sun is trying its damnest to watch TV with you.
Promising review: "I finally invested in blackout curtains for my room and my kids' room, and now I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner! These curtains do exactly what they are supposed to do. My kids are early risers, usually getting up when the sun comes up. Today, I was able to sleep until 9:30 because they were still in bed! I woke up not even knowing what time it was because my room was still so dark , haha! These especially made a huge difference in my room, which faces the side of the house the sun rises on.
These curtains are silky feeling, which I wasn’t expecting, but it gives a sleek appearance. I highly highly recommend this brand." — Key Monique Get it from Amazon for $19.

A pair of sheepskin insole inserts to add a snuggle factor to your slippers. Now you can pick your slippers purely on aesthetics, knowing these inserts got your back (and feet). As a bonus, the wool offers some extra cushioning and support.
Promising review: "Bought these as a refresher for my son's slippers. I know they won't last forever. Neither did the original liners from the slippers themselves.
They all flatten out, hence purchasing another set now. These were easy to trim up to fit inside something that is now the shape of his foot. They are a little expensive but not so much as buying a whole new set of slippers, so I find it an acceptable price.
" — Heather Lunar Get them from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes 6–12 and men's sizes 8–14). 6.
A northern lights projector for anyone who's still bitter about missing the ones seen in the United States. Now you can treat yourself to a North Pole-style light show without having to endure arctic temperatures (or New Jersey). It also plays soothing noises and doubles as a Bluetooth speaker! Promising review: "I love this light! The stars are beautiful, the colors are beautiful.
I like that it shuts off in four hours. I use it in my house so I don’t have to turn lights on all the time. I like it so much, I just ordered three more to give to my grandchildren.
It also has sounds like the sound of rain, or ocean waves. And you can even play your regular music on it . Don’t be afraid to try it! It’s like having the northern lights anytime you want.
" — Amy J Nelson Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four colors). 7.
A bubble tent not unlike the kind you might find at expensive rooftop bars.

This splurge-worthy tent pops up automatically thanks to springy fiberglass ribs.
When you're done, it folds into a traveling case for later. Promising review: "This was easy to assemble and is likely even easier with two people. I love going out in the woods to have a camping/picnic date or party with friends.
It's resistant to the wind and water-resistant. When the weather is cold, it's cozy and warm inside this tent . It maintains a good temperature (review image above, left).
" — jimeamezcua Get it from Amazon for $247.59+ (available in four sizes). 8.
A smokeless tabletop firepit if you love cuddling up next to a nice bonfire in the winter but hate the smoke burning your eyes and stinking up your clothing. Bonus: If you're not planning on roasting s'mores or any other snacks, add a color-changing packet for rainbow flames. This is a great option for smaller areas like balconies and gardens.
It provides warmth, cozy vibes, and, of course, a place to cook s'mores (once again, please don't use the color-changing packets in this case). You can burn wood or pellets with its built-in pellet adapter. Promising review: "As a piece to provide some warmth and entertainment to friends or guests outdoors, this is a great product.
As someone who once owned a Biolite camp stove, I was a believer that the only way to efficiently and completely burn wood to fine ash was by using the airflow fan of the Biolite camp stove. Well, by golly, Solo Stove has proven me wrong. Fans and electricity have been proven to not be necessary.
The Solo Stove Mesa is able to burn wood incredibly efficiently. A very solid product overall. I look forward to buying a wood-burning cooking stove from Solo Stove sometime in the future.
" — William J Blackburn Get it from Amazon for $69.94+ (available in three sizes and eight colors). 9.
A burrow dog bed so your dog can get in on the cuddle session. The blanket-like hood will help your pup reach levels of coziness never before seen in your home. Don't be surprised if they pick this bed over yours.
The upper hood detaches and can be used alone as a blanket. Promising review: "Pros: endless cute photos of snuggly babies, more time for myself without being harassed by small hounds. Cons: I’ll probably never see my beagles again.
They hung a sign on the side of the bed that says 'No Hoomens!' so I can't go in. Bummer, I really liked those two!" — Karon Fairchild Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three sizes and seven styles).
10. And a "dog bed for humans" perfect for people who watch their dogs snuggling up and get kinda jealous. Now you can satisfy that dog in you — the dog who loves to nap.
Plufl is a small business that made an appearance on Shark Tank . Promising review: "The quality is superb — everything from the material, to the stuffing, the stitching, the zipper, etc.! It is easy to assemble and super soft and comfy, yet supportive enough to really provide that extra comfort.
The customer service these guys provide is far better than any other! They really care about their product and customers. I think my 6-pound Chihuahua is enjoying it the most as he feels like a king in this super comfy bed! It may seem like a lot of money, but for the quality of the product, customer service, and ability to throw the cover in the wash, I think it’s well worth it!" — Wolfen3D Get it from Amazon for $299.99 (available in three colors).
11. A rechargeable heated eye massager to help combat headaches, eye strain, puffy eyes, and other troubles brought on by post-holiday stress. The built-in Bluetooth speakers will let you play relaxing music to elevate the relaxing experience.

It is so relaxing...
.Definitely one of the best gadgets I have ever bought." — Tracy Ruble Get it from Amazon for $55.
99 (currently only available in pink). 12. An inflatable hot tub because sometimes you just need a good hot soak but don't wanna commit to having a giant hot tub in your yard year-round.
When placed under shelter, this is the ultimate way to beat the cold. Reviewers say about 2–3 people is the max for the most comfortable fit. Check it out in this TikTok .
Promising reviews: " We absolutely love our hot tub. Little maintenance and perfect. We have string lights up around the patio and go out at night to relax after a long day.
My teens and their friends love it more than the pool." — Amazon Customer " This has survived Midwest winters, wind storms and tornadoes, summer heat, and everything in between. I’ve had it outside the whole time, and haven’t experienced any issues! The heater is pretty weak, which is to be expected, but if you insulate it in winter, it holds the heat in pretty well, especially if you don’t run the bubbles.
" — Alice Get it from Amazon for $489.99 . 13.
A fan-favorite all-season comforter if you took your old one out of storage and realized it's a bit lumpy. Over 98,000 5-star reviewers swear by this affordable, machine-washable option thanks to its warmth and cloud-like softness. Your landlord may not have turned the heat on yet, but this thing has got you covered (literally).
Promising review: "This comforter is amazing! I was getting too warm with my down comforter, but I still wanted something soft, and this was the answer. It's very light, yet still provides enough warmth that I'm only using this with a flat sheet. It fit perfectly in my duvet cover and comes with loops on each corner and midway between the corners.
" — Joiseygirl Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in twin–California king and in six colors). 14.
And a shaggy faux-fur duvet cover lined with soft velvet on the bottom, so no matter what side you touch, you'll be in fuzzy heaven. The set comes with matching pom-pom pillowcases so, yes, your bed is gonna be even more inviting. One side is faux-fur and the other side is plush velvet; the twin set comes with one pom-pom fringed pillow sham, and other size sets include two.
Promising review: " This product saves me a ton of money on heat! I got this before fall/winter started and I’m so happy I did, because I never ever have to turn my heat on at night. Even my boyfriend who gets pretty cold always feels perfect under this (with no heat on). It keeps me extremely warm and locks heat in like no other blanket.
I use a regular cheap duvet inside. I have a full-sized mattress and it works great with the queen size — but I almost wish I had the king size. When my boyfriend spends the night, it’s easy for one of us to have too much blanket.
If I had gotten the king, it wouldn’t be a problem. So DEF upsize. The color is beautiful and it’s so cozy! Sometimes i sleep with the fur-side down and sometimes I sleep with it normal.
Either one is super soft and cozy." — Hannah Get it from Amazon for $51.99 (available in sizes twin–king and 34 colors).
15. A "flaming" humidifier because it's cozy season and we should all really lean into it. This fun illusion offers ambience, aromatherapy, and a solution to dry fall air.
According to Johns Hopkins , you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. Promising review : "I like how this diffuser kind of looks like a mini fireplace and it’s perfect for winter. I also like how long the water of this diffuser lasts — I always add my favorite essential oil in it when I go to sleep every night without worrying it will run out of water.
I used to have insomnia and it helped me to sleep through the night with my relaxing essential oil scent, and it also worked as a humidifier." — Benny Get it from Amazon for $24.69+ (available in three sizes and colors).
16. A foaming lavender bath with pure Epsom salt to soothe your wind-chapped body and create the most sudsy bath experience ever. This is the closest you can ever get to feeling like you're inside a wonderfully scented cloud.
It's vegan, cruelty free, and made in the US. Promising review: "I love this stuff soooo much. I have had some rash issues on my fingers ever since I got a full-body rash from Downy Unstopables and had to take prednisone to get rid of it.
Ever since I started regularly soaking in the tub with this, I have had hardly any flare-ups. Something about the ingredients in this particular combination makes my skin sing. Plus, it smells amazing and provides top-notch bubbles.
Worth every penny. "— Sarah Get it from Amazon for $6.79 .
17. And to ensure you're getting the best possible bubble bath experience, a suctioned drain cover so you can fill your tub all the way to the tippy top. You need all the warm water you can get — it's cold out there! SlipX Solutions is a small business that specializes in safety-oriented shower and bath accessories.
Promising review: "Can I give this thing 10 gold stars? I have a four foot bathtub (so small it should be illegal) so I used to bring a towel in the tub to cover myself just to keep warm because the water was so shallow. I've used this drain cover three times and now I literally bask in my Epsom salt baths. The silence is wonderful; I used to seethe at hearing the precious bath water drip-drop down the overflow drain.
Buy it, hands down a peace preserver." — M. Smith Get it from Amazon for $9.
99 (available in nine colors). 18. A reviewer-beloved electric fondue set , which is easily one of the coziest ways to eat food.

A sweet little candle warmer that shines a light on your favorite candle. The 50-watt warming bulb provides much-needed cozy vibes and a flame-free way to enjoy a well-scented home. Bonus: It also extends the life of your candle.
Promising review: "Not sure why I didn't buy this in the first place!! With this lamp, the smell of the candle is stronger and lingers longer! At the moment, it's on my kitchen counter, and I can smell the candle all the way up in my bedroom!" — stephanie Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in 13 styles). 20.
Or a paw-some mug warmer to heat up drinks, candles, and wax melts. There's a little screen on the cat's forehead that tells you the temperature so you can purr-fectly calibrate your drink or candle. Warming a candle instead of lighting lets you enjoy the fragrance without dealing with an open flame.
It also extends the life of the candle, so this thing kind of pays for itself. The feet are meant to be used as a phone holder, but personally, I would not put my phone on a hot object. Promising reviews: "I thought I’d try putting my wax melt in there and see how long it would take to melt.
It took less than five minutes to melt it!! Also, it feels kinda heavy and dense like it was made out of good material. I love it. 😭 It's gonna be good for my tea time AND make my office smell good.
" — Allisen "I'm a teacher, so I NEVER get to finish my coffee in one sitting. This thing has made my day so much better. No matter how long ago I made my coffee, each and every sip tastes like it was just brewed.
Very happy!" — Amanda Fausto Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 10 styles and one with a mug). 21.
A set of three remote-control flameless flickering candles so you can pretend to be Bonnie Bennett lighting fires with *magic*. You can choose a steady glow or a flicker effect to really sell the cozy ambience as you hunker down for the cold weather season. Since you're not really a witch, you'll need some IRL magic to make them work ( AA batteries ).
There's also a remote to set the dimness, mode, and timer. Check out a TikTok of the flameless candles in action. Promising review : "I bought the gold glass candle set.
It's almost iridescent gold and looks very elegant. The flame actually moves back and forth. I have mine set to come on in the evening and go off after four hours.
The remote allows you to control the brightness of the candle, set a timer for auto on and off, and you can control how bright you want the actual candle inside the glass. I love them and plan to buy the gray glass set for my bedroom. Buy them, you will love them!" — Tammy B.
Get them from Amazon for $29.99 . 22.
Cadbury Drinking Chocolate for a more decedent hot cocoa experience while you're curled up at home. The powder makes ultra-rich and creamy drinks that'll make you feel like you're sipping on melted Dairy Milk bars. Make sure you mix this with milk instead of water! Promising review: "A British friend of mine once stated Cadbury chocolate bars are the 'silk lingerie of chocolate,' and she is absolutely right.
This hot cocoa is so rich and decadent, I'm afraid it has ruined all other hot cocoas for me. I used the steaming wand on my espresso machine to heat up the milk and it was perfection in a mug. Add a sprinkling of cinnamon and cheers!" — Christina Get two canisters from Amazon for $29.
99 . 23. A towel warmer to lessen the agony of having to get out of the loving embrace of a hot shower.
Warm towel hugs are just as good, I promise. It can fit up to two towels and has a 15-minute adjustable timer. Promising review: "After reading lots of reviews on several different towel warmers, I bought this product for my mom for Christmas.
I tested it out before giving it to her. It works great! The timer looks so sleek and fancy. Even at only 15 minutes, you get a nice warm towel! 10/10 would recommend! Already thinking of buying one for myself!" — Kaylee Sierra Get it from Amazon for $99.
99 . 24. A set of wildly popular "hotel" pillows so you can feel like you're falling asleep at the Ritz.

Plus, they're breathable and cooling, so you won't overheat while wrapped in all those blankets. Promising review: "These had great reviews, but I was still a bit skeptical.
I'm a bit of a pillow snob. These pillows — these amazing, heavenly pillows — are now my favorite part of going to bed. Soft but firm.
How does that work? It gives support for me to sleep slightly propped up but I sink into this comfortable personal cloud. Soft but firm. My head isn't sinking through the pillow to rest on my mattress, but I feel comfortably enveloped.
Heaven. I bought two but think that would be too much fluff, so now my husband and I each have one. Buy them.
Add to cart. Buy now with one click. Stop the research.
You've found the pillows you were looking for. " — Marissa Urey "God himself must use these pillows. I have (or had, haha) insomnia, not to mention a bad neck/back *and* hot flashes.

Promising review: "I was born in 1983 and this is the EXACT version I adored and obsessed over as a young girl.
Thrilled that I can share this game with my now 4-year-old daughter exactly the way I remember it. Also the book box is amazing. Keeps all the pieces tidy and in good condition.
Looks great on the shelf." — Elle MK Get it from Amazon for $39.99 .
Check out the rest of the vintage game collection on Amazon. 27. A cult-favorite luxury-scented candle reviewers love for its intoxicating and long-lasting smell.
It has an impressive throw, meaning you can actually fill your home with its calming jasmine, oud, and sandalwood scent instead of having to stick your nose right up to the flame. If you're wondering what oud is, think of the smell of fallen trees in the woods after a hard rain. Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes.
Promising review : "I was staying over at a friend's house and sitting next to her coffee table. She had this candle on the table and even though it wasn't lit I could smell it, and it was so delicious that I instantly went online to find it and bought it for myself! If this came in a perfume I would buy enough to last the rest of my life. I don't know how to even explain the scent but if you are an amber/patchouli/vanilla fan, this is absolutely for you.
The jasmine adds an unbelievable freshness without a flowery scent . I even bought the shampoo and conditioner which I will probably use as more of a body wash and shaving cream but that is how desperate I am to get this scent on me! " — Melissa I. Get it from Amazon for $19.
95+ (available in three sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents). 28. And a rechargeable lighter with an extra long neck so you can light candles that are getting a little long in the teeth (jar).

This butane-free lighter charges with a USB cord and the igniting spark shuts off automatically in seven seconds. Promising review: "This is seriously the coolest device of my winter holiday.
It makes lighting candles a breeze. Yes, there is a weird crackling noise, but that's a super minor annoyance. It's a super intuitive device.
Plus the lighter with the USB (included), charge for a bit, then pop it open and light ALL THE THINGS; well, candles. I don't know how well it lights cigarettes or whatever. However, for my personal intended use, it's awesome!" — Jee W Get it from Amazon for $9.

Each puzzle has a logic grid to help you keep track of the evidence. Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun, but the characters, storylines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativeness! You can Murdle solo or with friends.
I look forward to future volumes, but this one will keep me busy for a while!" — Liz Gately Get it from Amazon for $11.77 . And when you need more puzzles check out Volume 2 for $10.

Very good draft/leak stopping . My door faces the breezeway, and it tends to seep into the cracks and blows hot or cold air along the floor, making it awful in the winter. This stopped that as soon as I put it on.
" — AYonko Get it from Amazon for $8.57 (available in four colors). 33.
An unreasonably cuddly throw blanket that you should only buy if you plan on hibernating underneath it until April. The call of the fuzziness is just too strong. Luckily, the weather has made the choice all too easy.
I have this blanket and haven't moved from under it since I got it. It's silky soft on the bottom and thickly furry on top. I can't even begin to describe how perfectly snuggly this thing is.
Promising review: "This blanket is SO soft and keeps me warm while I read and study. My cat also loves it." — Wynne G Get it from Anthropologie for $49+ (originally $98; available in 16 colors).
