In the chill of winter, keeping warm, organised, and stylish becomes a priority. BuzzFeed's shopping recommendations offer a range of practical products that cater to these needs, providing solutions for winter problems and showcasing the best kitchen gadgets of 2021.
Firstly, a super-absorbent non-slip entryway mat can trap snow and slush before it enters the home, making it durable enough for both indoor and outdoor use. For those seeking relaxation, a wireless hand massager massages each knuckle and finger individually, complete with a warming function to ease tense muscles.
To brighten up any space, an LED light strip reduces eye strain and fatigue, while increasing color contrast. For pet owners, a pair of silicone grooming gloves can remove fur and dander from cats without tugging or snagging, making grooming time less stressful.
In the kitchen, a temperature-controlled smart mug can keep hot drinks toasty until the last sip, and can be adjusted via a companion app. A set of dual-sided measuring spoons can measure out both dry and wet ingredients, ensuring precision in cooking.
For skincare enthusiasts, a 4-in-1 face mist hydrates and tones the skin and sets makeup, while a mattifying facial roller made of volcanic stone helps reduce oils on the skin's surface. A set of self-watering planters are designed to provide the perfect amount of hydration to plants and prevent them from getting swampy.
To organise the pantry, a set of minimalist spice jar labels can help keep track of seasonings and are made of dishwasher-safe, waterproof vinyl. For those who love to read, a superhero bookend can keep books from toppling over and works better with heavier books.
To maintain a clean home, a waterproof security camera records when it detects movement and has excellent night vision. A rubber stopper can snag loose strands before they can clog drains and can be transformed into a regular plug with a single press of a button.
For a fresh and clean living space, a water-collecting boot rack protects floors from slush and salt and provides drainage for footwear. Deodorizing shoe balls freshen up stinky footwear and can last up to six months.
To help with organisation, a set of stackable nesting containers can keep leftovers fresh for longer and only take up a small amount of cupboard space. An armrest coaster can keep drinks within reach while couch-surfing and is smaller than a coffee table. A compact key holder can hold up to 10 keys and is equipped with Tile tracking tech to prevent loss.
For outdoor activities, a petite umbrella is small enough to throw in your bag and pops open at the push of a button. A magnetic drain snake can retrieve items from hard-to-reach places and is strong enough to pull up to four pounds' worth of items.
For those who love to cook, a cauliflower prep tool can dislodge florets from the tough stem safely and easily. A set of kitchen knives stay sharp and have wildlife print that doesn't shave off during sharpening.
For personal care, a pair of terrycloth hair scrunchies can help reduce drying time and leave hair soft and looking great without the use of hot tools. A pair of chilling wands can cool down the temperature of wine if it was forgotten to be chilled before serving. A beverage chiller can keep drinks cold by being tossed back inside when they get tepid, instead of diluting them with more ice cubes. A pair of shatterproof wine glasses are made of recyclable plastic and designed to stack and lock in place, making them perfect for picnics, road trips, or patio hangouts.
To round off the list, a lavender-infused pedicure sponge is infused with anti-fungal tea tree oil to help keep athlete's foot at bay. An angled measuring cup can quickly detect if more ingredients are needed and the measurements are visible from above. Lastly, liquid chalk markers can be used to label pantry goods, write to-do lists, or doodle holiday decor on windows.
