Don't get us wrong, we're big fans of winter. It truly is the most wonderful time of year, from shopping incredible seasonal sales from top-rated brands like Madewell & Anthropologie to planning our glamorous 'fits (& kissable lips) for New Year's Eve. There's a whole lot to enjoy during the holly jolly season, but let's be real: Winter ain't all sunshine and rainbows, metaphorically and literally. From the colder temperatures that make our joints ache to dry air that cracks our hands & feet, there are a handful of inconveniences that come around only during this time of year and can dim the magic of the holiday season just a tad.

Well, we're here to bring back that light just in time for the new year, because you deserve to start off 2024 on the right, happy foot. We brainstormed, did the research, and scoured through Amazon to find the best problem-solving products for all your winter-related problems, big or small. Hate stumbling around in the dark during early mornings & midnight potty breaks? Motion sensor lights will fix that. Dry air making your hands cracked and irritated? Try this top-rated hand cream with 56,400+ five-star Amazon reviews. Cold weather making your arthritis act up & your wrists sore? Bam, compression gloves. For any cold season trouble you've got, we've got a solution.

So, don't let the winter blues get you down, and let's shop, shop, shop!

As you've probably realized by now (& every morning/evening this season), the dark nights have been longer. That means more time spent stumbling around in the dark when we get up in the middle of the night for a quick potty break or wake up in the morning to get ready for the day ahead of us. These motion sensor lights are here to help save you from a tumble or stubbed toe, featuring an aut-on function within 10 feet and an auto-off after 15 seconds of no detected motion. They only turn on when it's dark and motion is detected, and they're simple to install (just stick them on wherever you like).

Keep the warm in and the cold out with these handy door draft stoppers with 15,300+ five-star reviews on Amazon. Made from flexible yet durable silicone material, these self-adhesive stoppers are designed with triple layers to effectively reduce noise, prevent dust from entering through the door, and keep your interior space quiet, clean & cozy.

Alternatively, you can opt for these weighted door draft stoppers, which are easy to hook & loop on your door and hang away when not in use. Their large size meets the measurements of most doors, and they can help reduce noise while blocking out cold and dust from outside (plus insects that are also looking for a warmer place to crawl around in than the chilly exterior environment).

If your windows are also letting in a bit of a draft, seal them up with this transparent tape. Made from weather-resistant materials designed to withstand extreme temperatures, moisture & UV exposure, this tape offers an airtight solution for your windows and doors. Once the winter passes, the insulation tape removes cleanly to leave your windows free from residue.

Wind isn't the only thing to worry about weather-wise during winter. If you've been fighting against ceiling and wall leaks due to rain and snow, this waterproof patch & seal tape is a small-cost, big-impact fix that is more effective and requires less effort than placing an old bucket under the leak & constantly monitoring it. It has an extra-thick adhesive layer and UV-resistant backing that durably conforms to the surface to repair holes, cracks, gaps & tears and effectively seals out air, water & moisture.

If you park your car outside, you probably know the struggle of dealing with condensation on your car every morning; you swear that you'll remember to bring a towel the next day, but you inevitably forget to do so amid the chaos of getting ready on time & are forced to wipe down your mirrors with your sleeve (leaving you cold, wet & miserable). If you relate to this struggle (please tell us it's not just us), this car rearview mirror wiper is an absolute lifesaver. Its small size is perfect for storing in your car, and it easily expands for extended reach so you don't have to strain to reach the passenger side mirror.

The brush is designed with a polished bristle head that protects the paint and prevents scratches, according to the brand.

If your morning commute used to be the time for you to put on the finishing touches of your makeup, it's become 10 times harder with the delayed sunrise.

You can even switch between three light colors and dim the lights according to your preferences!

I used to run the shower unnecessarily because the dry air burned my eyes and made my nose bleed. Now I run this humidifier on my nightstand in the hotel and I sleep comfortably. It's super quiet, like a gentle hiss. Super easy to use. Only drawback is it didn't come with an adapter. Luckily I have a bunch of old ones (thanks, apple) that worked just fine."

It contains 3% salicylic acid to help combat scalp build-up, and let me tell you, it works. A dermatologist recommended this shampoo to me a few years back, and it's been a staple in my haircare routine since; I always make sure to have an extra on hand so I never run out, because I can tell a difference in my scalp's condition when I don't use it.

Excellent product, 100% will buy more when it runs out."
