*Please keep in mind that these are just intended for inspiration. We encourage you to tailor these ideas to your budgets, needs & traditions!
Throw blanket - staying warm and cozy is paramount as we work, live and unwind at home. We love this throw blanket from Black-woman-owned Johanna Howard Home. For those who might need additional care during these times, we also love these knit weighted blankets from Bearaby.
Pillows - for a lot of us, we’ve never been home for such an extended period of time. Those who like to switch up their interior and make the space feel fresh could opt for throw pillow covers like these Kilim Pillow Covers from Dune Gift & Home, a woman-owned, maker-led shop in Stoughton, WI.
Bathrobe - whether you’re between Zoom calls or simply want to stay cozy throughout the day, a bathrobe like this one from Parachute is a must-have wishlist item.
Diffuser - when you’re ready to turn in your candles for a fresher, cleaner option, you can opt for a diffuser like this stunning one from Vitruvi, which can be purchased from Wildewood Shop in Madison, WI. Not only is the design stunning, but Vitruvi has its own selection of essential oil blends that range from energizing to relaxing.
Slippers - it’s not often that we wear regular shoes anymore. We love these ethically made slippers from SOCCO Designs that keep our feet warm and cozy around the house.
Socks - ensuring you’re cozy from head to toe, these socks from Pansy are made of organic, USA-grown cotton and dyed in special colors.
Undies sets - what you wear under your clothes is integral to homebody comfort. When it comes to ultimate coziness, these size-inclusive underwear sets from ARQ are undefeated. Made sustainably with organic cotton, these base layers are essential for relaxing and everyday wear.
Candles - lighting a candle in your home should be the universal signal for cozy time. We love these signature candles in our Savannah home from the Paris Market, these Fraser Fir candles from House of Flowers and these PF Candle Co. candles, which can be picked up from Local’s Only Vintage Collective.
Puzzles - if you need a break from Netflix binges, these stunning puzzles from Slow Down Studio are a great way to stay occupied while staying safe at home.
Vintage sweaters - as we enter into the winter months be sure to stock up on cozy sweaters from your favorite local vintage sellers. We love Acre Vintage, Local’s Only Vintage Collective and Sparkhaus Vintage, to name a few. These amazing sellers offer story sales on Instagram for items that are perfectly worn in and pre-loved, so you can stay cozy while supporting local and making a purchase that’s kinder for the environment.
