Get your winter A-team ready with a sleep-altering comforter, sumptuous house dress, plush sleep mask, and more.
Date November 29, 2022
It’s almost December, the temps continue to drop, and all we want to do is stay inside and watch holiday rom-coms. So let’s do it, no? (Except for when we feel like getting dolled up and hitting the holiday party circuit, that is. We’re layered!) Cozy season is here and there are countless ways to make your stay-at-home moments infinitely comfier. We scoured the internet, Instagram and TikTok for plush, lush and luxe items to keep you toasty from head to toe. It’s a tough job, but somebody had to do it. From body-hugging comforters to soul-caressing sweater dresses, we’re rounding up nine ways to upgrade your life this winter and embrace the season once and for all. Bonus: These make excellent cozy gifts for the consummate homebody on your list *and* there are lots of Canadian brands here, too, for those who want to prioritize shopping local.
Here are some impossibly cozy gifts for you or your loved ones to snuggle up with this season.
The Dreamy Cashmere Scarf
What feels more comforting than swaddling yourself in 100% cashmere when the cold weather hits? This lightly ribbed scarf from Canadian brand T.Line is just right for wrapping up for the office, or a day at home. (Bonus: grab one as a gift and enjoy complementary monogramming for an extra-special touch.)
The Splurge-y Candle
Large Baies/Berries Candle
($567, Diptyque)
This mega-candle is a total treat and that’s what makes it so appealing. The three-wick candle is nestled in a gold-specked terracotta vessel, making it a lovely sight to behold on your coffee table all winter (and holiday season) long.
I’ve been a “duvet and duvet cover” gal for basically my entire adult life so I can’t tell you my excitement about having a silly-soft organic cotton comforter that I can throw in the wash and not have to wrestle back into its sheath. This baby is lightweight enough to not feel suffocating but with a bit of extra heft to help lull you into a deep slumber.
Hear me out: a lush knit dress that you can wear at home in lieu of a sweatsuit or throw on with tights and lug-sole boots for a rare winter outing.
The Ultimate Pillowcase
Blush Queen Zippered Pillowcase
($119, Slip)
These O.G. silk pillowcases have unlocked icon status. Resting your weary head on one not only allows for a gentle night of rest on your hair and skin (creases and frizz? We don’t know them), but you feel like actual royalty snoozing on it.
The Indulgent Bubble Bath
Because what’s more comforting than a hot bubble bath on a winter’s eve?
What feels more decadent than slipping into a sleep mask before turning off your bedside lamp? It’s a ritual I relish and this lightly padded eye mask, shaped to keep the light out, has really upped my bedtime game.
The Festive Diffuser
Aroma (Be) Free Ruby
($118, Saje)
A cordless, rechargeable diffuser that fills your sacred space with lavender oil *and* looks like a delightful object without feeling overtly holiday? Sold!
These divine suede slippers are the ultimate house shoe thanks to their substantial, but still cushioned, sole. Bonus: They’re from a Canadian, family-owned company with a focus on sustainability.
This clever product is basically like a weighted blanket the size of a bath towel. Our beauty director Natasha busted it out the other night when she was having a restless sleep and said it felt comforting and made a noticeable difference to her sleep.
