Now that the holidays are over and we’re all back to the real world and are no longer in a dreamy haze of binge-watching TV with a rum-spiked eggnog in hand, blissfully unaware of the day of the week, the next best thing we all look forward to doing the second the clock strikes 5 p.m. is rushing home to turn down the lights, light some candles, slip into fuzzy slippers, wrap ourselves in a faux-fur blanket, and surround ourselves in cozy, comfy home decor. The thermostat? Oh, it’s getting cranked, friends. 67 degrees inside feels like a balmy paradise when the winter winds are howling, after all. 




If you don’t have the essentials to turn your home into a wintertime sanctuary so you can successfully hibernate your way to the slightly warmer temps of spring, don’t fret; we have you covered.


From bedding and blankets to pajamas you won’t ever want to take off, here are the products you absolutely need this winter.

A Cozy Duvet

Staying warm and cozy during the winter is all about having the proper bedding. Give your bedroom a mini makeover by swapping out your current duvet for a 100% French flax linen duvet cover that will transform your space into a warm and comforting oasis. We love this duvet from Bed Threads because they offer some of the best linen products we’ve ever felt and the colors they offer are so chic and trendy. We also love the versatility of this linen because it’s perfect for warmer summer months too.

Nespresso Espresso Machine

Is there anything cozier on a chilly morning than wrapping yourself in a million warm blankets with a hot latte grasped in your hands? It’s a lot more comfy than braving the cold to go to Starbucks, and that’s why we think a Nespresso machine is totally worth it.

Heat Holders Thermal Socks

If your feet can never seem to get warm, you need to upgrade your socks. Worn along or over another pair of socks, these Heat Holders thermal socks will keep your feet warm — even your ice cold toes — and are actually 7 times as warm as standard cotton socks, with a TOG rating of 2.34.

Weighted Blanket

Weighted blankets are the ultimate cozy products but they aren’t always super stylish. Luckily this chunky knit weighted blanket combines function and beauty so you can snap some Instagram-worthy pics while you snuggle up on the couch.

Printfresh Pajamas

It’s winter, which means we want to spend most of our time in our pajamas. We should enjoy wearing them, and there’s no PJs that bring a smile to our face quite like the bold designs of Printfresh. No offense to our stained sweatpants. They offer their pajamas in a variety of styles and prints, and best of all, they come in sizes XXS-6X, and standard, petite, and tall lengths.

Memory Foam Slippers

The thought of stepping onto a cold, hard floor with bare feet in the winter makes us want to cringe. Luckily, these cloud-like memory foam slippers will keep you comfy and your toes warm and toasty all season long.

Fiddle-leaf fig plant

Winter can leave you seriously craving green grass and plants. A houseplant is an easy way to get your green fix. Plus, houseplants have some amazing health benefits, too. If a fiddle-leaf fig isn’t your style, check out some of our other favorite low-maintenance houseplants.

Space Heater

This little space heater is perfect because it’s so portable! Use it under your desk during the day and move it to the living room after work to keep you warm while you binge Bridgerton for the third time.

Heated Mattress Pad

Believe us when we tell you that this heated mattress pad will change your life. Climbing into a cold bed is not our idea of cozy but if you turn this mattress pad on a few minutes before bedtime, you’ll have a warm and luxurious bed to hop into. This one has dual control, so both sides of the bed can choose their prefered heat level, has a 10 hour time, and automatic shut-off for safety. It can also help you save on heating your home over night!
