1. 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 colors).
2. 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 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).
3. A bubble tent not unlike the kind you might find at expensive rooftop bars. Set one up in your backyard, and you can enjoy a romantic evening out of the house — but without chilly weather, bugs, or an eye-watering bar tab.
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).
4. Or a Shark Tank-famous foldable mini pop-up tent offering protection from the elements while you watch your child’s soccer scrimmages or football games. When the pod is fully zipped, it can feel up to 35 degrees warmer!
Under The Weather is a family-owned small business creating pods to handle all your outdoor weather-related needs. Bonus — you can zip several together side by side while still keeping the front closed.
Promising review: “We had a ballgame today where it was 30 degrees; one minute it was raining, then it would turn to snow. While everyone else was freezing cold, I was warm and toasty — I only had a long-sleeve shirt and yoga pants on while everyone else was layered up. I had extra stuff with me, but I put it on the floor of the pod ’cause I was so warm. Others had three or four blankets on top of their layers of clothes. I put a small propane heater in there, and it felt like I was sitting in my living room. I highly recommend this product as I am a very happy customer! I’ve looked at them for years but always backed out and finally decided it was time to get it. I will never sit out in a cold snowy or rainy ballgame ever again.” —Jeff & tennille chambers
Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in five colors).
5. 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).
6. And a rechargeable lighter offering a safe way to light your candle, even if the wick is getting hard to reach. It’s windproof and it doesn’t need lighter fluid, making it a futuristic option when you’re trying to set the mood.
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 $5.99 (available in nine colors).
7. Aaand 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 11 styles and one option with an included mug).
8. A smokeless tabletop firepit if you love cuddling up next to a nice bonfire 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.
Amazon
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 nine colors).
9. An unreasonably cuddly throw blanket that you should only buy if you plan on hibernating underneath from September to April. The call of the fuzziness is just too strong.
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.
Get it from Anthropologie for $98+ (available in 10 colors).
10. Or a knit blanket covered in various deli meats because there’s nothing as comforting as a giant slice of soppressata. This delicious-looking throw is machine washable so if you fall asleep mid-salami sandwich, you’ll be comforted to know you can easily wash the mustard stains out.
Bando
Calhoun & Co is a small business based in Brooklyn that sells blankets, towels, and tapestries made in the US.
Get it from Ban.do for $134 (also available in shrimp and condiment patterns).
11. A pair of fleece-lined leggings that are basically just blankets for your legs. Despite the extra warmth, they’re thin enough to wear with a skirt or even under your pants.
Amazon
Promising review: “These leggings are AMAZING. The inside is just as plush as the pictures indicate, and feel like you have a soft blanket hugging your legs. They are thick and not at all see through, and very warm. I’ve worn them in the rain and while they are not waterproof, they are very water resistant. The extra piece of fabric that goes under your ankles is comfortable and makes sure they don’t ride up if you wear them with boots. I would recommend hand washing to avoid pilling. Other than that they are perfect. I am ordering more!” —Sabrina0002
Get them from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two foot styles and eight colors) or see a highly-rated plus-size version here (available in sizes XL–4X).
12. A pair of snuggly Ugg ankle boots for when you want the comfort and warmth of a classic Ugg but without the big cumbersome shape. Thanks to the wool lining, your feet won’t go numb halfway through the line for a latte served in a pumpkin.
You can try before you buy with Prime. Pick up some waterproofing spray so you can wear them in slushy weather!
Promising review: “So cute. So comfortable. True to size. Love them. Easy to take on and off. I have worn them a few times even dressed down with some sweatpants and dressed up with some jeans and a cute shirt. If you are on the fence, do it. They are pricy but def worth it. You get what you pay for.” —Samantha
Get it from Amazon for $139.95 (available in women’s sizes 5–12 and 16 colors).
13. A cover that suctions onto your overflow drain so you can fill your tub all the way to the tippy top. Cold weather means warm baths that actually reach your shoulders, tyvm.
Amazon
Promising review: “I would die without a good bath. It’s an absolute must. We just moved into a new home, and the bathtubs are *SO* shallow. My soul was slowly being ripped to pieces while soaking in a measly 7 inches of water. Devastating! It will be a while until we can afford to remodel the bathrooms, so I needed to find an alternative solution before I cracked. This product seriously improved the quality of my life. It’s a softer, malleable plastic than I originally thought, but convenient for different-shaped tubs since it will mold more easily. All I have to do to turn my nightmare tub into a dream was to run the suction cups under the faucet and snap the suction cups into place over the bath drain. It was so easy! I got an instant 5 inches more of water!! For $8?! I think yes!!! Crowds applauded and cried; it was beautiful. In all seriousness, I’m pretty impressed and happy this worked out so well. I saw a few reviewers had issues with the suction cups not sticking, and I’m not sure why. I have a standard porcelain-enameled cast iron tub and have no issues (it is so easy). One person wrote they had issues with mold in their drain cover, so that is why I remove and hang it up after each bath to dry it thoroughly. Good luck, fellow Bathians! I hope this review helps!” —Rachael
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine colors).

15. An oversized scarf that’s one part fashion and two parts a shield from wind smacking you. It’s just a step away from wearing a full blanket on your shoulders.
Promising review: “I was shopping for a business trip and needed a scarf quickly to match three outfits. This company’s selection was terrific and I would highly recommend them. Scarf is huge, which I like because I am very tall. Very soft, not scratchy. Will be back for more!” —J. Kennel
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five styles).
16. A flannel plaid shacket which is likely going to be your apple-picking and pumpkin spice latte–drinking uniform. According to reviewers, it’s warm, but breathes well, so you can wear it through finicky transitional weather.
Reviewers say this runs large so, depending on the type of fit you’re going for, you may want to order a size down.
Promising review: “Super cute and oversized for pairing with any outfit. Got the green for St. Patrick’s Day then ordered black because I loved it so much. Large was super comfy and cute with a black bodysuit under it!” —Lindsey Daniels
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in women’s sizes XS–XXL and in 12 colors/styles).
17. 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.
Amazon
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).
18. 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.
Amazon
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).
19. A cocoon-like pullover hoodie dress to wear on chilly fall days when you want to dress up but long for the comfort of your favorite sweatshirt. This thing hits the knees, meaning you can roll into a ball and hide inside it when needed.
Promising review: “This dress is perfect for any occasion. I wore it out with sneakers to a ball game and got so many compliments. The material stretches, so it was easy to move in. I later paired it with some dressy flats to go to dinner, and everyone raved about how nice I looked. The material is so soft, and it’s the right thickness to keep you warm on a chilly day but not too hot for a sunny day. I will order more.” —KJ
Get it from Amazon for $43.99 (available in women’s sizes S–3XL and 14 colors).
20. 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 four sizes, 11 colors, and five styles).
21. A !!!GLOW-IN-THE-DARK!!! Snoopy sweater that’s so cute, it should honestly be worn year-round. The extra-long style means it’s perfect for leggings or tucking into pants for an oversized look.
American Eagle
Promising review: “This sweater is amazing! It’s super soft and perfectly oversized, and the Snoopy graphic is so cute. I also love how it’s not a very thick sweater since it doesn’t get that cold where I live. I can’t wait to wear it all spooky season. :)” —Snoopy Lover
Get it from American Eagle for $49.95 (available in sizes XXS–XXL).
22. An outdoor folding loveseat so you and your favorite person (or dog) can cuddle up together. This is perfect for camping trips, sports games, and fireworks — although Fido will probably want to skip that last one. 🎆
The seat is waterproof and can hold up to 500 pounds. It comes with both cup *and* wine holders, making this the perfect date seat.
Promising review: “This collapsible chair is fantastic! I popped it up in the back of my truck near a pond for a romantic movie night with a date. It was comfortable and added a unique touch to the evening. I also used it with my partner during a camping trip, where it allowed us to sit close to one another near a fire. The chair is easy to set up with just a few quick adjustments and is very comfortable.” —DotScott1
Get it from Amazon for $70.48+ (available in six colors).
23. A pair of fleece-lined sweats happy to hug your legs in their warm embrace. Cold weather should never stop you from being as cuddly as possible.

Promising review: “This thing is great! I’m home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around. It’s a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!” —Amber
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in nine colors).

26. A set of extra-large, fizzy aromatherapy bath bombs to take a relaxing bath to the next level. They’ll moisturize your skin with infused essential oils and Epsom salt.
They’re each about the size of a tennis ball — and they won’t stain your tub, so you won’t have to scrub afterwards.
Promising review: “I have been using bath bombs for years. I’ve used cheap brands, drugstore brands, luxury brands (Lush, YL) and more. This box gives all bath bombs I’ve tried a run for the money! The packaging was super cute and totally giftable. I was really impressed at the quality of the bath bomb itself too (I used Heal tonight) and I love that this uses natural essential oils. During this COVID-19 outbreak, I have had a lot of stress and anxiety and have enjoyed a bath nearly every night for the past week. This bomb gave me the most serene experience and they are HUGE! At least double the size of ones I’ve used before. Comparable to the size of Lush bombs. I will definitely purchase this box again when I run out and honestly it’s a great price at a little more than $2 apiece. You really can’t beat it!” —Heather H

Promising review: “Omg I absolutely love this tote bag. The handles are very sturdy, I can carry my laptop and use it for school! It’s very roomy, I fit a whole outfit and extra shirts in there when I needed to carry some clothes. It’s a super cute design and I’m very happy with it.” —Carlyann K.

29. 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.
Since you’re not really a witch, you’ll need some IRL magic to make them work (AA batteries). 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 $35.80.
30. A pair of plush slipper socks to keep your paws nice and warm. Cats are professional snugglers, so dressing up like one is sure to maximize your cuddling abilities.

31. And a paw-shaped chair cushion, because who doesn’t want to be lovingly cradled in a kitten’s paw?
Amazon
Promising review: “I freaking LOVE this paw cushion! This paw cushion absolutely saves my butt. It’s not super thick or as filled as you might hope. But I read reviews and was prepared for that. A little extra padding would be great but even without it this cushion is soft and comfy! It’s still worth every dime. It’s perfect if you have one of those hanging indoor/outdoor rope chairs, too! This cushion is soft and cute and comfortable. Buy yourself this thing. You deserve it.” —mandarabbit
