SB Hot List: Our Favorite Cold-Weather Essentials
Fleece-Lined Leggings
“Fleece-lined leggings are a game changer for long walks and hikes when it’s cold out. Lots of brands carry thermal options, but to save you some time scouring the reviews, I can definitely vouch for this Amazon pick. The Baleaf leggings are high quality; they fit well, and they’re SUPER warm. I love the side pockets, but they also offer options with waistband pockets or no pockets at all.” — Alissa Harb, Managing Editor

Coffee Creamer + Cookies
“The Chobani Peppermint Mocha Coffee Creamer and Trader Joe’s Mini Gingerbread Men are two of my favorite holiday treats. The coffee creamer is such an indulgent addition to my morning cup. Fair warning: it is VERY sweet but so festive! The gingerbread men are probably the most addicting holiday cookie I’ve ever had. They are just too good.” — Bailey Torkelson, Marketing Manager

Festive Drinking Glasses
“I love these cute and festive North Pole Juice Glasses from Anthropologie. They get me into the Christmas spirit when I am drinking my iced coffee!” — Anne Henley Walker, Content Marketing Assistant & Agency Relations

Baby/Toddler Beanie
“I’m obsessed with this Binky Bro beanie simply because of how adorable it is for babies and toddlers. This family-owned company has the cutest accessories for little ones (especially boys, which are so hard to find!). From snapbacks and beach hats to beanies and backpacks, everything they have is adorable!” — Lauren Cummings, Business Coordinator

Button-Down Shacket
“As soon as the weather turns even the tiniest bit cold, I immediately start pulling out my shacket collection from storage. One of my favorites is this option from Billabong. It has all of my favorite shacket features — it’s soft, oversized, and has spacious pockets. I love to pair it with a cute graphic tee and distressed jeans, or I just throw it on when lounging around the house.” — Brianna Goebel, Associate Editor and Sponsored Content Manager

Temperature-Controlled Mug
“My husband was kind enough to surprise me a few weeks ago with my new favorite thing: an Ember Temperature Control Mug. I love my morning coffee, but sometimes I tend to get sidetracked, and it’s cold before I can finish it. Now, with my Ember mug, I set the app to 145 degrees, and my coffee stays nice and warm until the cup is empty! Hot cocoa would be heavenly in it, too, but I’m still enamored with keeping my coffee warm every day!” — Melissa Thompson, Account Executive

Vanilla & Caramel Spice Candle
“I count down the days to being cozy like most people anticipate a beach vacation. Out come the sweaters, throw blankets, and autumnal decor. I have fall playlists, seasonal coffee mugs, and special fall cocktails. So, believe me when I say it’s tough to choose a cozy favorite! With that said, the star of the show in our house this year has been the Better Homes & Gardens Vanilla & Caramel Spice Candle. A fragrant blend of vanilla, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, brown sugar, and toffee, it’s essentially dessert in a jar. The beauty of it? It makes the house smell like you’ve been baking for hours, even though you’ve never even turned on the oven.” — Jenna Bratcher, Associate Editor & Lead Nashville Writer

Knit Cuffed Beanie
“A basic beanie is crucial if it’s cold out. It’s the perfect hat for running to the store when your hair is a mess or maybe on a day filled with late autumn and winter hiking. Carhartt makes a quality beanie that will last for years. The product might say ‘men’s,’ but a beanie is unisex for all to enjoy and keep warm.” — Robert Conklin, Digital Developer

Sherpa-Lined Jacket
“I found the BEST dupe on Amazon for the Athleta jacket that’s always out of stock and also $199. This jacket is so trendy, warm, and packable. I love the rusty orange color. I sized down based on the reviews and it fits perfectly. It feels so much more expensive that $57.30!” — Zoe Yarborough, Staff Writer

Not only is this jacket lined with cozy sherpa, but it’s also lightweight and water-resistant. Image: Amazon
We hope you’ve discovered something new (and cozy)!
