Winter is the only time of the year where I do my best not to go outside. That means no happy hours, no sledding, no nothing; I may as well move out into the wilderness and become a hermit from November to March. But, as you can probably guess, that type of lifestyle isn't sustainable — no matter how hard I lie on the couch. So instead of wasting away all winter long, I've come up with this list of Amazon products that help me stay warm and cozy while I'm outside.
And I'm not just talking about wool socks and beanie caps — I'm talking about heated gloves and vests that keep you warm while you're snowboarding. But if you're not into winter sports, don't worry. There are still slippers stuffed with plush memory foam, infinity scarves with hidden pockets, and even a portable fire pit. Because, truthfully, I wasn't totally honest with you earlier; I'll go outside if it means I get to make s'mores. But rest assured as soon as that marshmallow has browned, I'm scurrying back inside (unless I'm wearing the cozy blanket-sweatshirt hybrid I've included on this list).
No matter how hard the winter wind blows, these comfy and cozy things keep me feeling toasty all season long. Keep scrolling for my top picks.
