Lovesac Radiant Footsac Blanket

I always find myself doing some sort of acrobatics in order to comfortably lounge on my couch under a throw blanket while keeping my feet completely covered and warm too. The Lovesac Footsac makes it easy. The fluffy blanket is designed with a little pocket at the end for you to slip your feet right in struggle-free. The standard version is one of our favorite blankets, but this one has an added feature: It doubles as a heated blanket to control the level of warmth you need.

ActionHeat Women’s Heated Snow Gloves

For those days when you plan to spend a prolonged amount of time outside, be it shoveling snow, sitting in the stands at a football game, or taking a long hike, you want to make sure your fingers don’t freeze. These gloves offer a one-two punch, with a cozy fleece lining as your first line of defense against the cold and a battery-powered heating element keeping you even warmer for up to five hours. And they come in mitten form too.

Invava Electric Heated Slippers

I have a shoeless household, especially in the winter when I don’t want snow and salt trekked all over my hardwood floors. When we get home, we change right into slippers to keep the floors clean and our feet warm. Regular slippers are great for the other three seasons, but slippers that come with heating technology built in? A game-changer! They’re non-slip, easy to charge, and the temperature can be adjusted via remote. Plus, they’re machine-washable (just remove the heated sole first). 

Mockingbird Stroller Hand Muff

A must-have stroller accessory for parents in cold climates? An insulated hand muff that attaches to the handlebar. There are several available, but the Mockingbird stands out among the rest because it also features a clear zippered window that holds your cell phone. It stays safely guarded from the elements but you can still use it, be it for quick texts, following a map, or playing music.

UGG Bluetooth Earmuffs

If you’re an earmuff stan like me, you know the struggle to keep your ears warm while also wearing headphones — not only is it uncomfortable but it’s just one more thing you have to remember to tote with you on the go. UGG’s Bluetooth earmuffs are your answer. They’ll keep your ears warmly covered by sheepskin, while also playing your music or phone calls. They go in and out of stock frequently, but if you can grab them from Amazon or UGG directly, they’ll make winter strolls much more enjoyable.

WanderFull Vegan Leather HydroBag

I hate carrying my water bottle when it’s freezing outside. Even with gloves on, I just want to keep my hands nestled in my coat pockets. But it never fails that when I put it in my bag, the water either drips inside or the bottle makes my bag look clunky. I found this vegan leather bag to be the perfect solution. Its water-resistant pockets hold a water bottle (or even a thermos!), keys, phone, and wallet so I can be completely hands-free while still being organized and looking chic. It also comes with two straps for wearing as a crossbody or over-the-shoulder.

Coalatree The Puffy Kachula Adventure Blanket

For those times when you want to pack light for an outdoor adventure, this puffy, water-resistant blanket — made using recycled materials — can also be snapped into a hooded poncho. The quilted design makes it as fashionable as it is functional. Plus, it has zipper pockets so you can stash away essentials like your phone, keys, and wallet whether wearing it as a poncho or lounging on it to enjoy the view outdoors. Need a sleeping bag? You can snap multiple blankets together to make one. It adds an extra layer of warmth in the winter, but will also come in handy throughout spring and fall.
