    28 Products To Help Turn Your Home Into A Cozy Winter Fortress

    You're gonna be 🎶❄️living in a winter wonderland❄️🎶.

    1. A bubble tent that'll make your backyard feel like a cozy outdoor oasis. Curl up inside the tent and enjoy a romantic night out — all without leaving your home, dealing with the chilly weather, or that expensive rooftop 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 $160.28+ (available in four sizes).

    2. tabletop fireplace to bring the comfort of outdoor camping to your abode. This can conjure s'morey-gooey-goodness right to your living room as though it were magicked by Santa himself! Plus, it burns for an hour at a time, it's smokeless, odorless, AND ash-free!

    Bonus: If you're not planning on roasting s'mores or any other snacks, add a color-changing packet for some rainbow flames.

    Promising review: "I have a small deck at my condo and no place to put a full-size firepit, so I opted for a tabletop version. This fits the bill perfectly! It is so easy to light with a beautiful flame, and just as easy to put out the flame when you're done (although, so far, I have just let it burn out). It sits comfortably on the coffee table on my deck, so it's always ready to go. I'm so grateful to have found this perfect option for my summer evenings. Paired with my water feature, I now have the perfect oasis, just outside my back door." —Kristine R Robertson

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in a round shape and four colors).

    3. And a "flaming" humidifier because cozy season is just calling for some ambiance and aromatherapy. This'll add to the homey vibe as you snuggle near the tree with your milk and cookies awaiting Santa's arrival.

    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 $23.99+ (available in three size and three colors). 

    4. Lighted curtains you can layer with some sheer curtains so your room can look like a cozy winter wonderland all day, every day. These will help make every night at home a ✨fancy✨ one — you won't ever want to leave the house.

    Promising review: "I've hung these up in the corner of my room behind my desk and they are so cute. I've had these for years and they're running great. Also, perfect light amount! They're not too bright or too dark. Overall, a great room light for when I'm gaming at night or studying for school!" —Amber

    Get them from Amazon: 300 LED light curtain for $17.74+ and sheer curtains for $9.99+ (available in nine colors and three lengths)

    5. shaggy faux-fur duvet cover lined with soft velvet on the bottom, so you'll be cozier than you ever thought possible, no matter which side of the blanket you decide to snuggle under. This set even comes with matching pom-pom pillowcases, so your bed will basically be a comfy haven during those cold winter nights.

    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 35 colors).

    6. Or a fan-favorite all-season comforter if you want something to curl up into but would rather buy something you can use all year long — thanks to its lightweight material and down alternative fill. If you've ever wanted to know what it's like to snuggle up in clouds, this is the comforter for you.

    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 $23.93+ (available in twin–California king and in six colors).

    7. A uniquely blended luxury-scented candle that’ll transport you from your cold home to the woodsy forest of your favorite fairytale or the flowery fields in Twilight. With a jasmine, oud, and sandalwood blend, you’ll feel like a lounging royal as you light it up and lean back with your favorite book.

    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 seven sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents).  

    8. And a rechargeable lighter to say goodbye to the days of messy fluid lighters and hello to clean and easy technology! It's rechargeable and windproof, so you can safely use this lighter no matter the weather conditions. It also has a hidden lock safety feature, so you don't have to worry as much about your little ones getting their hands on it.

    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 $9.99 (available in nine colors).

    9. A paw-some mug warmer for slow sippers who don't feel like getting up every 30 minutes to warm up their hot chocolate for the millionth time. Sit back, relax, and don't fret about remembering to turn off the heat pad before going to sleep — because it'll automatically turn off in eight hours!

    BTW, you can even use this as a way to warm up a candle without using an open flame!

    Promising review: "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

    Promising review: "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 $24.99 (available in 11 styles). 

    10. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" you can place on your couch to hold all of your most important movie night snacks and drinks. It has expandable cup holes to perfectly fit each of your precious snack and beverage commodities, as well as an insulating foam that keeps your drinks cool or hot for longer periods — this pillow is sure to elevate your Christmas movie marathons!

    Cup Cozy Pillow is a small business that specializes in family-friendly snack and drink organizers. Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action.

    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 three sizes and nine colors).

    11. A set of three remote-control flameless flickering candles so you can have the perfect ambiance without fretting about leaving an open flame near your favorite books. You can choose a steady glow or a flicker effect to really set the cozy ambiance for your night at home — curled up on the couch reading your favorite novel by the "flame."

    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 $28.99.

    12. A splurge-worthy Zadro towel warmer because you deserve the spa feel of having a warm towel draped over your face when those winter temperatures dip lowww

    Promising review: "Absolutely my favorite thing purchased from Amazon. You will never be able to take a shower without this once you have it. Just like right-out-of-the-dryer towels!" —Erin

    Get it from Amazon for $126.49+ (available in nine colors).

    13. An incredibly soft chenille throw so you can wrap yourself up like a luxurious burrito as you snuggle in to watch your fave girl-goes-home-and-finds-true-love-during-Christmas movie.

    Promising review: "The color and material are perfect! Perfect fall aesthetic." —Renee

    Promising review: "My husband and I both love this blanket! I mostly got it for the look, but it's so soft and cozy! We've always used fuzzy blankets while sitting on the couch at night, but now we both prefer this one! It's perfectly light weight, a good size, and all over very nice. 10/10 would recommend!" —Cori

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two sizes and 18 colors).

    14. Or a plush blanket that many reviewers say is just as good as the popular (and much pricier) Barefoot Dreams one. It's incredibly comfortable, supremely cozy, and completely aesthetically pleasing, so it won't throw off your home decor.

    Promising review: "I saw this blanket on TikTok and I have to say I absolutely love it. I washed it several times now and it’s maintained its elasticity and softness after each wash. It’s warm enough but not too hot for a throw. Absolutely recommend this blanket!" —Amy

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in 12 styles and two sizes). 

    15. And a giant 10x10 blanket the whole family can snuggle under so you're not playing tug-of-war for the fluffy comfort that only a supremely cozy blanket like this can provide.

    Big Blanket Co

    This blanket is 10 feet by 10 feet, so you're not fighting over surface area with your partner. 

    Big Blanket Co is a small business that, obviously, creates HUUUUGE blankets. The blankets are made with four-way stretch, temperature-regulating fabric and can fit in standard-sized washing machines. 

    Promising review: "I took the leap and bought my first blanket! I am in love with it! It is so soft. I love the weight it has. It keeps me at a good temperature. I have a feeling that I will be getting more. 😉" —Lelia R.

    Get it from Amazon for $98.45+ (available in four sizes and 14 colors).

    16. color-shifting mushroom light to bring that cottagecore aesthetic to your room. It'll help you complete the cozy vibe you've been aspiring to all season.

    Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on, which is nice because I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand

    Get it from Amazon for $5.99

    17. A 3-in-1 convertible "reading chair" you can curl into at the end of the day with your favorite book and cup of hot cocoa. It has an outlet so you can charge your Kindle before it dies in the middle of a great chapter, a side pocket you can use to stash all your fave snacks, hidden storage in the bottom to hold your coziest blanket, AND it pulls into a full sleeper bed so you can reach ultimate levels of relaxation!

    Check out a TikTok of the reading chair in action. 

    Promising review: "Amazing reading chair/lounger. If you're one of those people who needs to change positions often while reading, this chair is the bomb. I leave a charging cord in the arm for my phone and headphones, slide out the foot, and grab whatever book I chucked under there. I can lay down, recline, sit straight, etc. with ease. The foot stool part, being collapsible and held up with thin bars, did kind of sink a little after awhile but nothing that makes the chair feel broken or look lopsided. It's a solid little guy and I plan on picking another one up eventually for another room I like to read in." —Calvin Andrews

    Get it from Amazon for $229.99+ (available in seven colors). 

    18. A wall-mounted electric fireplace so you can bring warmth, comfort, and serious cottage vibes to your home without having to shell out thousands on actually building a chimney. It has various brightness and flame speed options, as well as 12 color options for the flames and flame bed, touch screen buttons, and a remote control — so you never need to leave the warm spot you've claimed on the couch to switch up the customization options.

    Promising review: "Installation was quick and easy; it's very, very slim to the wall profile-wise. The heat output is great, and it's quiet. It's heating approximately 1,000-sq.-ft. basement to comfortable levels. I was frozen down here; now I just set the fireplace on low, and it's 72 degrees. Plus, it looks awesome, and the remote is easy enough to use. I've had tons of compliments on it." —m.code

    Get it from Amazon for $134.99+ (available in six sizes).

    19. candle lamp warmer that'll have you enjoying the cozy vibe and aroma of your fave candle without leaving you fretting over the possibility of falling asleep with an open flame. Plus, it'll be a cute addition to your home decor!

    Check out a TikTok recommending the candle lamp warmer

    Promising review: "This was perfect for my wife and me. She especially loves to have the scent of candles throughout the day, but because of our pets, we can't have lit candles. We tried this with both a jar candle and a glass bowl with some wax melts, and it worked perfectly for both. One of my wife's favorite features is the on/off switch on the cord, rather than having an ugly button or knob on the lamp/light itself. It's really a statement piece, like a desk lamp with a pretty wooden base. Overall, it works well for what it is and is well worth the money." —Scott Rarden

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in nine colors).

    20. Or a decorative jar filled with 135 matches (you can strike 'em on the bottom!) so you can stop hunting around your junk drawer for that lil' matchbook you pocketed the last time you were out at a bar.

    Promising review: "Beautiful to display and the matches work great! I’ve bought other decorative matches and the striker or matches haven't worked well — this one is perfect!" —Sarah

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99.

    21. A set of velvet pillow covers that feel so soft you'll want to burrow yourself in them all throughout your cozy night at home. They're also super easy to swap out when you inevitably get the itch to redecorate your room (for the seventh time this year).

    Promising review: "This is the second set of these I've purchased (bought two different colors to change out when one set is in the laundry), and I completely love them. They are so soft, easy to put the pillows into, and they come out of the laundry looking brand-new. Get a couple of different colors and switch out for holidays, or when desiring a quick easy decor change. I highly recommend them." —Melanie Mastin

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in nine sizes and in 49 colors).

    22. A "dog bed for humans" because let's be honest, you also deserve to have the coziest seat in the house. It's a perfect lil' nest to curl into for reading, napping, or snuggling while watching TV.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I saw this online and decided that I'm giving it a try. I have a hard time sleeping without feeling support around me. I toss and turn over 40 times per night according to my sleep app. I tried this hoping for the best and I will say, I slept like a baby for the first time in sevenyears. I put a pillow under each side to prop it up to make it cradle in more and I’m in heaven. I'm 57 and have had a hard time dealing with the emptiness of divorce. Who needs a man when you’ve got this to sleep in? Purchase it! You won’t regret it. And best of all, no one snoring next to me! Win, win!" —Heavenstinyangels

    Promising review: "Soooo comfortable. Big enough for my daughter, and our dog, and me. Arrived in an appropriate time frame as advertised. The blanket that came with the bed was also a pleasant surprise. The bed and blanket are soft and cuddly. Sure to be the 'fought over' spot in our house for the foreseeable future." —J Derks

    Get it from Amazon for $119.99 (get this price by clipping the $30 off coupon on the product page; available in four colors). 

    23. Some prismatic window film to stick onto a window for a kaleidoscope of color and light bursting into your room. This will grant you an extra layer of privacy and make your space feel like a wintery, magical haven.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this! TikTok made me buy it for my sunroof and I'm so glad I did! It's so beautiful when the sun comes through! And you get so much for the price!! If you're on the fence, buy it!!" —Ashley Ann

    Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in 11 sizes and three colors).

    24. A super cute fairy light photo display you can use to hang up your precious memories in the coziest way possible. Just clip your photos onto the string, and switch out the pics anytime.

    Promising review: "These are fun lights that spruced up a dull area. Once I got them untangled initially, they were super easy to put up. They are a tad bit heavy and need something strong to clip to. The clips have good springs and will stay wherever they are put. It literally took just a few minutes, including adding the photos, to put up and enjoy." —Sheila Crawford

    Get them from Amazon for $12.99 (available in three sizes and in warm white or yellow).

    25. A TikTok-famous sunset lamp to cast a warm glow around your room and make it feel like you're watching the rays of that precious winter sunset all day long.

    The distance determines how wide and intense the light is — position it farther away for a softer diffused light, or closer up to focus the colorful beam on a specific spot.

    Promising review: "Immediately, out of the box, it makes any room more aesthetically pleasing. It's such a simple but beautiful light to make your room feel cozy. The warm color also adds calm and serenity to your space. I am so satisfied with it, I will be buying another. My space has weird geometric angles and this light makes them feel even cooler." —jordan

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three styles).

    26. A faux-sheepskin area rug because your feet deserve to feel plushy, cozy, softness first thing in the morning — rather than ice cold floors.

    Promising review: "LOVE!! Nicer than the other one I have. Definitely worth the price. It kinda reminds me of a warm, fuzzy dog. It’s more like fur than fuzz. Doesn’t shed too bad." —Cyndi Z

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six sizes and nine colors).

    27. And a rain showerhead so every warm shower feels luxurious on those cold winter days. It's super easy to install, and reviewers say it has a soothing pressure — the absolute perfect way to destress at the end of the day.

    Promising review: "It was super easy to install and works amazing! I love it so much and the flow of water is perfect and so relaxing. It's a real steal for the price (which had made me skeptical it would work right). It works so great though, super luxurious." —Sarah Katherine

    Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).

    28. A drain cover to fill your tub to the absolute brim so you can enjoy the luxury of a nice, warm bath as those outdoor temps drop lower and lower. This'll give you a few extra inches of toasty water without causing your overflow drain to gulp down huge chunks of water every time you move a muscle.

    Don't worry, it doesn't block your overflow drain completely but rather moves it up several inches — there's a 1-inch hole at the top of this cover that still allows excess water to safely drain.

    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 salts 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 $7.99 (available in nine colors).
