Sipping a hot beverage on cold mornings can be the wakeup you need, but ensuring your drink stays hot can be difficult. That’s why the Ember Smart mug can be so helpful! Smart LED lights on the mug let you know when your beverage has reached the perfect sipping temperature, and auto sleep technology turns the device on and off automatically, so there’s no need to worry about manually controlling the heat.
Rather than creating excess soot through traditional candle burning, try this candle warmer that uses a 50-watt halogen bulb for even melting, plus it can extend the fragrance life up to two times longer than using the wick. A built-in timer shuts off the warmer at your preferred time, and the warmer has adjustable brightness so you can control the level of fragrance released.

If freezing in bed has you tossing and turning, it’s time to consider a heated blanket like this one from Hammacher Schlemmer that’s also weighted for extra comfort.

A 9-foot cord makes plugging in easy, while two sides — one micromink, the other a cozy sherpa lining — offer double the cozy, soft-to-the-touch fabric.
There’s nothing quite like slipping into your favorite sweater during the cold months, but pilling is an issue that can ruin the good mood that comes with it. Cut down on loose threads and fuzz with this handy Conair fabric shaver that has three depth levels to help repair everything from your sweaters and clothing to larger items like furniture and upholstery. It has a comfort-grip handle, one-year limited warranty and a detachable lint catcher for safely disposing of those excess shreds.
