The winter is coming, and the discomfort levels are increasing.
I consider myself an introvert, and I value things that will keep me comfortable and occupied.
In this video we will see 20 things will keep you cozy through the cold season, and will
help you enhance the process of staying in in general.
All products cost $5 or less, and the links are as always in the description below.
The first product is this cute pillow with a totally unknown to me character, definitely
not inspired by a character from a somewhat popular website.
And when I say pillow, what I mean is a pillow cover, because it does not come with a filler.
The cost for this lovely decor item is $3.25, and it has been purchased over 1900 times.
The link is in the description.
The second item is a waterproof LED tape.
It is waterproof for a reason, so that you can shed the tears caused by the lack of sun
over it.
Over time, I have purchased a number of these LED strips and placed them in different places
around the house, like around the TV and on the bottom of kitchen cabinets.
The sticky tape on the bottom makes it easy to apply.
The price ranges from 4 to 42 dollars, and it has been bought over 5000 times.
When your body is mostly stationary, it is a good is a good idea to at least exercise
your brain a little.
This amusing brain teaser toy will help you with that.
This classy wooden puzzle costs $4, and 1800 of 2800 buyers came to a collective consensus
giving this puzzle thing a total score of 4.9 out of 5.
I can’t quite decide if they are magnificent or spectacular.
If wooden puzzles are not your thing, check out these fascinating golden playing cards.
Remember when Bender promised to open his own casino, with Black Jack and hookers?
Now, you can too...probably…
These very luxury-looking golden colored foil-plated waterproof playing cards cost $4.75 and have
been purchased over 900 times with an overall rating of 4.9 out of 5.
As Alexander Suvorov, a beloved Russian military leader of 1700’s famously said, the head
must be cold, the stomach - empty, but the legs - always warm.
And while I appreciate a full tummy and a big Russian beaver hat, I agree with the legs
part.
What he meant, I think, was the part that the legs should always be warm.
And with these slippers they should last through the apartment-grade winter.
An infinity scarf is a fancy new term that I have recently learned for this thing that
you are currently seeing.
Knit on the outside, and soft faux fur on the inside for extra warmth.
I get cozy just by looking at it.
One of those will set you back a mere $3, and it has been purchased over 6800 times
in total, with a 4.9 out of 5 overall rating.
It’s not too late, friends, the winter normally lasts through February.
If you are into more traditional scarves, and if by the draw of chance, plaid is also
your thing, well, then this might be your lucky day, because look at this exciting fashion
piece.
Currently going for $5.94, this scarf can be worn in a variety of ways.
And I’m not just saying it because I want you to buy it, I actually mean it.
And now, I have a secret weapon, which is this amazing photograph of a beautiful pupper
wearing it sitting in a rowboat.
For the days you don’t want to move and just want to be a potato wrapped in a bunch
of blankets, this clip-on smartphone holder stand thing will help you hold the device
in an upright position.
It is 70 cm, which is about 2 feet long, and it should hold both smartphones and tablets.
The head can make a 360-degree turn.
Only $4.47 for this bad boy.
And for the times when you absolutely don’t want to be bothered, this panda will help
you minimize the interaction with the pesky outside world and just get completely lost
in your own.
If I had to choose, I would go with the koala, as it definitely koala-fies for a good time
in my books, because a bunny one will become a dust bunny real fast.

For the extra stressful days, here is a sticky stress squishy for you to squish on during
the toughest times.
There are 11 different kinds to pick from, to satisfy even the pickiest squisher.
These things only cost around 50 cents each, so grab a few for when you inevitably squish
the squish out of it.
What better to remind you of the summer time than butterflies.
For just 50 cents you get a 12-pack shipped to your door, which is a pretty good value.
What’s pretty cool is that they are all differently sized and look slightly different
too.
There are 5 different color options to pick from.
Butterflies possess some of the most striking color displays found in nature.
A butterfly's rich color can act as camouflage, mate attraction, and warning signal.
The more you know…
Unless you live in Australia, the winter is usually darker than the warmer months.
Just like the phone holder from earlier, this table lamp clamps to whatever you want it
to clamp to, for the cases when you want to read a book in the dark, or something.
There are two color options - black or white, as well as the bulb colors - white or warm
white.
If you ask me, warm white sounds cozier.
According to a pretty common Russian superstition, in order for the new house to have good luck,
a cat must be the first one to enter it.
No idea how this started, but to this date some people still believe it.
This cat floor mat comes in 6 different sizes, priced from 5 to 11 dollars, and there are
two colors to pick from - orange or blue.
To avoid staining or bubbling the surface of your fancy mahogany furniture here is a
set of classy retro-style corkwood coasters.
A 4-piece set of these costs less than $2, and it has been purchased over 750 times.
Each coaster is 10 cm, or about 4 inches in diameter.
Make sure to get a few sets for the high-class parties for those people who just have to
put their tumblers on your Bösendorfer piano.
An imperative part of staying cozy, or comforting a friend in despair is a warm beverage.
Powder tea such as the kind in tea bags is for peasants, and you should settle for nothing
less than the best select loose leaf - Teavana at the very least.
I have seen a lot of the different designs for the tea strainers, but this is the first
time I see an elephant one.
Unfortunately, no pin, but there is grey, yellow, orange and blue.
If I know something about comfort and interior decoration, is that there can never be too
many pillows.
There are a lot of different listings on AliExpress, but these stood out to me because of the pretty
design patterns.
There are 16 different options in this listing, but if it ever becomes inactive, or if you
don’t like these designs, there is a whole bunch of other ones in different listings,
all around the same price.
And even though you probably don’t want to, most of us will have to leave the house
to go somewhere during winter.
And even if you have to, you can still bring a warm lunch with you.
This thermal bag will keep your armpit warm during some portion of the commute.
It is designed as a waterproof bag, it costs $1.71 and there are 3 color options to pick
from.
Comfort food is called comfort food for a reason, it is because it comforts you.
The Oxford English Dictionary traced the term to a 1977 Washington Post magazine article
about Southern cooking, but regardless of when people found the words to describe it,
though, the concept itself is ageless.
And for whatever type of comfort food you have cooked, despite the effort put in, these
silicone oven mitts will help you retrieve it with minimal damage to your flesh.
If you dare to disagree with Alexander Suvorov, a
beanie will keep your head warm.
This one costs 3 dollars, and it has been bought over 300 times.
There are 2 different thickness options here, one with and one without the wool insert.
In addition to that, there are 6 different colors in this listing.
And when there is snow, there usually is ice.
Most cities don’t have the resources to sand or salt the walkways for the duration
of the entire winter, so cheap slip-on ice studs like these can be a worthy investment
for the purpose of preventing broken pelvises or even to avoid awkward ice break-dancing.
There are two size options, one for kids and one for adults.
