I can’t stand being cold. That’s just a fact about myself that I’ve come to accept. I hate it and I will avoid it at all costs. In fact, most of my life in the winter revolves around trying to do just that. And most of the money in my bank account is spent on gadgets that help me to achieve the goal of staying as warm as possible throughout the chilly months.
Some of my favorite buys? This incredible, life-changing bath mat that ensures you step out onto a warm floor after every bath or shower. These insole warmers are at the top of my list. I didn’t know they existed until recently and they have rocked my world and kept my perma-frozen piggies toasty all throughout the winter. I admit that I avoid the cold at all costs, but when the kids see snow, I get excited right along with them. I bought this snowball making kit last year and it’s been a joy — an affordable way to bring hours of fun and keep their fingers at least a little warmer.
Keep Away the Winter Wet
Picture this: you’ve come back inside from walking the dog on a freezing winter morning. You’ve trudged through snow and icy slush. Your toes are freezing off and your boots are soaked. You don’t want to leave them to dry out and start stinking. What do you do? Use this awesome shoe dryer that keeps your shoes dry and stink-free.
For When a Scarf Just Won’t Cut It
If you hate the cold as much as I do, you know that a scarf just doesn’t cut it. Sure, it’s a cute accessory. Of course, it does keep some chill off. But does it keep you warm? No. This neck warmer, though, it’ll keep you warm and toasty throughout the part of your day you’re forced to spend outside.
Be Sure Every Step You Take is Warm
These heated insoles? They’ve changed my life. They keep my toes, the coldest part of my body, warm and toasty no matter how long I’ve got to trudge through snow or ice. They give your feet a nice warm glow that keeps your digits full of feeling and ready to face the chilly day.
Keep Your Windshield Free and Clear
There’s nothing glamorous about an ice scraper, but anyone that lives in snowy climates knows how important they are. There’s just no getting around it! This particular scraper has a soft, ergonomic, foam handle so you can get down to the tough business of scraping that built up ice without blistering your fingers.
Stay Warm, but Make it Fashion
Staying warm is hard enough, but staying warm and looking cute? It feels almost impossible. I recently purchased this heated poncho for my mom (from whom I inherited my aversion to the cold) and she looks adorable and she stays toasty warm throughout countless grandchild football games. You can control the temp with the touch of a button.
Add a Middle Man
Okay, so, you don’t have time to scrape the ice from your windshield every morning. I get it! I don’t either. So, I’ve added this windshield cover to my daily routine and it keeps the ice and snow from collecting on it during the night, or even just while I’m running errands.
Looking for the Ultimate Winter Tool?
My husband is always complaining about how long it takes him to find the right tool outside in the freezing cold in a car emergency. I bought him this awesome handyman’s ultimate tool and the complaints haven’t stopped, but they have changed into a general grouchiness about the weather. I might be good, but not good enough to control temps!
A Heated Blanket Made for Travel
This one is for all the morning drop-off folks out there! It’s still far too cold for us to be up and about in chilly weather, but drop-off stops for no man. This car blanket plugs into the charging port in your vehicle and keeps your lap toasty warm throughout your long and frigid drop-off ride.
Make Quick Work of Your Wet Shoes
No need to wait for days while your shoes dry out in the heat of your home. No more putting wet shoes on the next morning because you really only have one good pair of snow shoes. This dryer gives you a place to set those wet shoes and dry them out in a snap!
Keep Your Digits Toasty
Working in an office in the summer feels like torture, but in the winter it’s so nice to know you’re tucked safely away in a warm environment. Despite that, it can still get drafty in those big offices. This warming mousepad keeps your digits happy and warmed while you get down to business.
Keep an Eye on Your Water Usage
The winter months are some of the most dangerous for water usage. There’s always a chance that the pipes could freeze in some sort of freak accident and this gadget keeps you abreast of any changes in your water situation so you can stop them before they turn into a pricey bill you can’t foot.

Snow Chains That in a Snap
Snow chains are an absolute must if you live in snowy areas of the world. They prevent wrecks and save lives! But they aren’t easy to get on and off. And they aren’t cheap. Believe it or not, though, this set is a breeze to get on and off and comes at an affordable price point!
Keep the Ground Snow-Free Eco-Consciously

Stay in Touch
As a constantly cold person, I find it incredibly annoying that so many gloves don’t allow me to keep them on while I scroll my phone. These gloves, however, have built-in tech that allows me to scroll away without exposing my tender digits to the chilling weather all around me.
The Best Bathroom Buy
Seriously! This is probably the best purchase I’ve ever made. It’s not just perfect for the winter months, it’s great to have in your bathroom anytime. Who wants to step out of a warm shower onto the cold floor? No one, that’s who. Treat yourself and stay cozy with this warming bath mat.
The Multi-Purpose Windshield Cover

Create an Aesthetic Warmth
This little heater is an interesting gadget. I bought one for my yoga studio because it offers a nice warmth in a calming and soothing way without too much light involved, but it still manages to look beautiful and aesthetic in my studio. On top of that, the hood is designed to prevent accidental burns which is a big win!
Prevent Damage to Your Leather
The last thing you want is that expensive leather jacket getting damaged by snow. Fortunately, this Apple Brand spray can be used to coat your leather (shoes and bags, too!) and keep it from staining and ruining when water touches it. One good coat and a brief drying period and you’re good to go.
Keep Those Little Toes Warm and Dry
In my opinion, there’s nothing quite as adorable as little kid snow boots. There’s just something about how big they look and how tiny a child’s foot actually is. Gets me every time. These hardcore snow boots keep those tiny feet warm, toasty, and dry while looking absolutely adorable, too!
No More Mess
The winter months bring all sorts of annoying water and ice drip and mess into your house. Worst of all, mud still exists under snow, so oftentimes those snow boots track in gross mud on top of the icy water. These trays give your outdoor shoes a good place to rest for mess-free existence and a happier home.
Weather-Proof Your Vehicle
Okay, these mats won’t weather-proof your whole car, but it will weather-proof the floors, and that’s the area that gets the most wear and tear from your gross shoes anyways. These mats keep your floors from being saturated with snow, ice, rain, or mud and creating a huge mess for you to clean up.
Snow-Be-Gone
The easiest way to keep your stairs clear of snow is to keep the snow from ever developing there in the first place.

Make it Through the Entire Game
Real sports fans don’t let cold weather stop them, especially if the sport you love happens to be football.

These lap warmers can keep you warm for up to 8 hours so you can enjoy the whole game; extra innings and all.
Stay Warm Anywhere in the House
I love throw blankets so much. I have so many in my house it’s insane, but what I didn’t have until recently was this heated throw blanket. It lets me stay warm and cozy in my bed, on my sofa, in a lounger, or even sitting outside on the porch.
A Multi-Purpose Lantern
Sure, your lantern will light up the night for you, but will it also warm up your coffee for you? I didn’t think so. This UCO lantern will, though.

Start ’em Young
This snow scooter is one of the coolest, and most nerve-wracking, gifts my husband has purchased for our kids. They love to use it when the snow hits the ground because they feel like their dad out their shredding the slopes on his board, but in a far more safe way!
This is the Ultimate Snow Ball Gadget
Everyone loves a good snowball, except me because they’re both cold and wet and I absolutely hate that. But, my kids love to pelt each other with them every year and this thrower allows them to more effective hit one another which is why their dad had to buy these for them.
