Winter Slump? These Cozy Products Will Make Your Home Into A Hygge Haven

Even when the heat is on and the fireplace is running, you might still want to reach for something warm and cozy to wear while you’re relaxing. Enter: this boucle knit hoodie from Skims. The ultra plush, soft fabric makes it feel like you’re wearing a blanket—but it’s much more stylish and functional.

If you’re anything like me, your hands and feet often feel like icicles in the winter—regardless of how warm you’re dressed. But quality indoor footwear can make all the difference. These UGG slippers are a great pick because they’re lined with the brand’s cozy signature sheepskin, and they feature an elastic backstrap that supports your foot as you move.

There’s no shame in saying no to nights out this time of year! But if you’re going to be cooking more meals at home, you need to invest in the right tools. A Dutch oven is a must for a variety of cozy meals—think everything from homemade bread to chicken soup to slow-cooked braises. We love the Cast Iron Perfect Pot from Our Place because it features an enameled cast iron interior (no seasoning required), a lid with self-basting divots for extra moisture, and silicone Hot Grips for easy handling. Plus, it comes in a variety of fun colors to bring personality to your kitchen.

Nothing says cozy like a good candle. And Voluspa is a leading name in the industry, thanks to its clean and sustainable ingredients, unique scents, and beautiful glass jars. The Baltic Amber is a fan favorite, with notes of amber resin, sandalwood, cedar, and vanilla for a resulting fragrance that’s woodsy, warm, and perfect for winter.

Weighted blankets are popular winter staples for a couple of reasons: They keep you extra warm, and they help reduce stress and anxiety (when many of us need it most). This blanket from Silk & Snow is a great pick because it’s made from natural cotton with no synthetic textiles, so it’s healthier for you and the planet. Plus, its hand-knitted construction is designed to be breathable, so you can bring it into bed without worrying about overheating.

A big part of the winter blues stems from short days and long nights, which means a lack of mood-boosting sunlight on a regular basis. A great way to combat that issue is with a therapy lamp, which offers full spectrum natural light (without UV rays) in three different temperature options to boost your mood and energy while minimizing fatigue.

When the weather outside is frightful, why not bring the coffee shop to you? This De’Longhi machine can do it all: hot and iced coffee, cappuccinos, espresso, lattes, and more. Best of all, it’s fully automatic, so there’s no barista learning curve required from the user’s end. Just fill the machine with your favorite beans, water, and dairy (or non-dairy alternative), and make your selections on the control panel.

Houseplants are a big part of hygge culture, embraced for bringing the outdoors inside and re-connecting with nature throughout the colder months—even if it’s from your couch. We love The Sill because it makes having a green thumb easy. The service can ship a variety of different plants to your door in great condition, and the staff is there to help guide you toward success with a 30-day guarantee and a free online course to teach you all the care tips you need to know.

There’s nothing like a hot cup of coffee, tea, or cocoa when the weather is miserable. And you know what makes that experience even better? A great mug. This earthenware set is uniquely crafted so that every mug is one-of-a-kind, adding to the homey-ness of the product. It has a beautifully rustic vibe, comes in four colors, and can hold up to 10 ounces for a roomy serving.

There’s something about the cold weather that comes with an insatiable craving for baked goods (or maybe that’s just me?). But instead of trying your hand at successfully making the best chocolate chip cookies on your own, get some help from the pros. James Beard Award-winning pastry chef Joanne Chang is sharing all her secrets with the Tcho Chocolate Chip Cookies Baking Kit, which gets delivered right to your door, ready to start baking. (All you’ll need on hand is butter and an egg.)
