I know I’m not alone on this – winter is the absolute worst time of year. My lips are chapped, there’s ice on the roads, my back muscles can’t seem to relax no matter how hard I try, the list goes on. But we can’t just not go outside because it’s cold, right?
Because we have no choice, the best we can do is find the easiest way to stay warm. Getting outside this time of year can be fun (I guess), if you can feel your toes – so thermal socks are a must; but you also need functional things like ice-melting salt and traction cleats if it gets to the extreme lows. So, before it gets any colder, I wanted to put together a list of some of Amazon’s best items under $35 to keep you warm this winter!
This Reusable Hand Warmer Can Charge Your Phone
Hand and feet are the first to go when your body is preserving heat. It’s the worst! This rechargeable handwarmer has three different heat settings (I’ll be using the highest for sure), and it even doubles as a backup charger for most phones on the market. I’m definitely getting one before I go out this New Year’s Eve!
These Winter Gloves Work Great With Touchscreens
Okay, I know, touch-screen-compatible gloves are not new; but these Luther Pike Winter Gloves stand out because they are sleek and the entire palm is slip-resistant. I drop my phone enough, I need all the help I can get!
This Lap Warmer Is Perfect For Outdoor Games
Wow, would I have loved these when I was younger! I remember plenty of football games where I actually left because I was too cold. This Lap Warmer heats up naturally and stays warm for up to 8 hours. That’s plenty long enough for a Friday night!
These Long Johns Have Over 19,000 5-Star Reviews
Soft, comfortable, warm…what else could we ask for! These Fleece-Lined Long Johns fit snugly against the skin so they can be worn under jeans without riding up. I’m going to New York next week – I’m SO thankful they qualify for one-day shipping!
No More Scraping Ice With This Windshield Cover
I have done some sketchy things in order to get ice off of my windshield. I’m shocked I didn’t crack it with my boiling water attempt. But hey, you live and you learn. This Windshield Cover protects against ice, rain, snow, and all other debris so we can quickly (and safely) get our car on the road!
No More Frozen Toes With These Extra Thick Thermal Socks
If I can’t feel my toes, it’s best that no one talk to me. These Thermal Socks have great reviews and are made for long-term stays in the cold. Being born into a family with poor circulation, I think I’ll buy a few as Christmas presents!
This Flameless Lighter Is Ready Whenever You Need it
Whether you’re hiking, camping, or just enjoying the winter views, you need this lighter. It’s waterproof so it’s okay if you drop it in the snow, and most importantly, it’s rechargeable and flameless! You’ll never have to worry about lighter fluid again.
The Best Moisturizer for Dry Noses
Winter wind not only dries my face out, but it makes my nose run like a leaky faucet (so gross). The constant blowing and wiping really hurts the skin around my nose, so I need a great moisturizer. This Double Repair Face Cream has great reviews for dry skin, and will last all winter!
An Emergency Blanket That Covers Multiple People
One top fear of mine is being in the car with my family and getting stranded in the cold. This Extra Large Emergency Blanket is compact for easy storage, but it’s 5′ by 7′ so multiple people will be able to share body heat. It could save your family’s life!
Keep Your Neck and Ears Extra Warm With This Neck Gaiter
I love that HotHands is branching out with products that have pockets for their hand warmers. It’s genius! This Neck Gaiter holds warmth on your ears and is perfect for tucking under your shirt to keep you warm for hours.

My boyfriend works in construction and his hands are always rough, but they were literally cracking this time last year! Working Hands Hand Cream is the only product that has helped him. We saw a difference in days, and his hands have never been better.

This LED Beanie Hat Is Perfect For Daylight Savings Time
We’re at that time of year again, where it’s dark during almost all of our free time. Not only is it dark, but it’s cold, too. This LED Beanie Hat is perfect for working outside after you get home. It will keep you warm, and you won’t need anyone to hold a flashlight for you.
A Balaclava To Keep You Warm and Stylish
It’s crazy the get-ups I used to put together to stay warm. Fashion, I admit, was absolutely last on my list! This Balaclava finally lets us have the best of both worlds by looking great and staying warm, too. It can be worn up to six different ways!

Natural Lip Balm To Protect Those Chapped Lips
I’m a huge Chapstick gal. Lip gloss is sticky and most glosses make your lips even more chapped! This 8-pack of Naturistick Lip Balm is great for stocking everywhere you go, it’s 100% natural, and stays on all day. It’s definitely my favorite brand!
Protect Your Clothes From The Snow With These Leg Gaiters

Stay Warm Without The Bulk With These Fleece Lined Long Johns

These Traction Cleats Could Prevent Serious Injury
I don’t know anyone who hasn’t completely lost control when walking on ice. It’s manageable if it’s just a small patch, but if it’s an entire sidewalk, it could really end badly. These traction cleats will help with peace of mind for ourselves and our loved ones.
A Hassle-Free Scarf
Usually, scarves are just one long piece of bulky cloth that you have to manipulate to stay put (no thank you). This Infinity Scarf is a loop of fleece that you pull over your head. It’s a super cute way to keep your neck warm without all the fuss.
No More Frozen Hands With These Snowball Makers
My limit for snowballs is literally one. I ball one up, throw it, then go run my hands under hot water – it’s the worst! These Snowball Makers do the work for you, so you can put on your gloves and get to the fun part with your family!

I own this exact fire pit so I can say with confidence that it’s the best I’ve ever had – especially for that price! It has a shallow fire bowl so it heats the area around very well, and the protective lid keeps those ‘fire pops’ from causing any damage. My puppies can sit right next to the fire without a worry!
Another Great Hand Cream

Wind in your face is the absolute worst. I love that this Winter Hat has the option to protect you from it! You just clip it into place and the fur will keep you warm, while the windproof outer layer will stop the wind from cutting into you.
An $8 Fleece-Lined Beanie

Warm Leggings For Any Occasion
These leggings have become a staple item for me. I’m usually walking out of the house with the ‘casual’ look, but when I want to switch it up, I’m happy that these leggings still work. They’re fleece-lined (I’m starting to notice a personal pattern here) – so they’re super warm.
Gloves They Won’t Want To Lose
If I’ve learned anything from working with kiddos my whole life, it’s that if the clothing is awesome – they try harder not to lose it. These gloves have dinosaurs, trucks, tractors, tons of options. They’ll be warm and want to show all of their friends!
This Umbrella Is Made To Block Wind
We’ve all been there – the dreaded fight with a collapsed umbrella trying to literally fly to the next city. This Windproof Travel Umbrella wants to put a stop to all that nonsense. It’s large enough to cover two people and is lightweight for easy travel.
A Waterproof Blanket For Unexpected Weather
Sometimes, you can’t control the circumstances – you have to be outside. I’m having flashbacks to watching my sister’s softball games – we were covered, but that didn’t stop the wind, rain, and snow! This fleece blanket makes the best of the situation and has loops you can hold onto to keep everything in place.
Get Out And Play With These Great Snow Tubes
