If you’re looking to cozy up and get warm without having to find space for yet another big appliance, we found an excellent compromise. This plug-in space heater doesn’t sit on the ground or countertop. Instead, it plugs right into a wall outlet, heating its surroundings against a surface for convenient warmth wherever it’s needed. Don’t let its size fool you, either — reviewers say it works so well, this “little heater might as well be a blast furnace.”
This adorable space heater is tiny but mighty.
A nifty plug-in device for warming personal space, this heater includes a remote control to toggle its temperature and a 12-hour timer for automatic shutdown, which some say makes it great for bathrooms.
“My little heater is rated for 300 watts and 800 watts,” explains one reviewer. “I have a small bathroom so I only have it set for 300 watts and it works well.
You can set it for whatever temperature you want and it will regulate itself to maintain that preset temp. It is made to plug into your wall outlet.”
While its 300-watt setting may be great for slowly heating an area over time, the 800-watt option will get things toasty much, much faster. Although the Amazon details don’t list its exact dimensions, several reviewers say it’s roughly the size of their hand.
Snag this tiny space heater for just $21 and don’t lose your winter cozy. If you need some more convincing, though, take a look below to see what reviewers have to say about it.
“Ok i thought this was pretty cool for my lil studio that sometimes, i have people who run on the always cold side, so i plugged in near their chair, it heats up pretty good and fast and controled, remote is nice plus for me. So i dont have to reach around. Haven’t quite figured thw P1, p2 and eco yet not good at reading directions🤣, rather play with buttons to see what works but is still easy enough for me to poing and use. I loke this heater warms room up fast easy to control has timer and adjustable” — Audrey Monteverde
“This little heater might as well be a blast furnace. I had to turn it down because it made the area too hot! I have it under my desk―I work at home, not due to COVID but because my boss is in another country―and I have sliding glass doors and a picture window in the office. Cold just radiates from the glass, but this heater warms the entire area in a few minutes. It shuts itself off if it tips even slightly, which is a great safety feature. Great product at a great price.” — Zeeksmom
“Exceeded my expectations. Great value and they work perfectly for my needs. Love the focus adjustment. If you’re going to do home repairs, these are a must!” — frank
A set of women’s duds that are truly cuddly
You may already be a fan of this adorably-named brand’s loungewear, but did you know that Cuddl Duds also make popular and extraordinarily affordable base layers? This thermal set is made from a cozy synthetic fabric that boasts a brushed finish on the interior and a soft, toothsome exterior. The fabric’s dense knit also promises superior UV protection. Get the set in women’s sizes XS-XXL.
Promising review: “I wanted a base layer for skiing that wasn’t overpriced (REI separates were going for $115-$130 for just a top or bottom). This was a great value. The fabric feels high quality and soft to touch. The warmth is just the right amount. I am planning to use these for skiing and for everyday. These would work great under my scrubs at work to keep me warm in the hospital. Definitely recommend!” — Sarah F

A three-pack of Merino wool hiking socks
Your feet lose heat fast and can feel colder than the rest of your body in chilly temperatures, so warm socks like these Merino wool ones by Alvada are an important base layer to remember. Available in 15 colorways and gender-neutral sizes XS/S-L/XL, these socks are made for hiking but can work for plenty of activities in the cold. They have a no-slip cuff, reinforced heel and toe, footbed cushioning and moisture control fibers (warm doesn’t have to mean sweaty). The socks are machine-washable, but make sure to let them air dry so they don’t shrink.
Promising review: “I ordered these socks because I work in Wyoming where the temperatures can get well below freezing. Let me start by saying they exceeded my expectations. My feet are very warm and they don’t even sweat in these socks which is a plus because I’ve bought other insulated socks and my feet sweated a lot. I will definitely be purchasing more of these.” — Thomas M.

Some classic Fruit of the Loom waffle texture men’s thermal tops
Available in one- or two-packs, you can’t go wrong with this bestseller from Fruit of the Loom. It’s a long-sleeved thermal top with a waffle texture and crew neckline that comes in four neutral colors that can go with just about anything. Comfort is the name of the game with this base layer — the shirts are moisture-wicking, heat-retaining and even have a tagless label. Get them in men’s sizes S-5X. (Note that despite the photos here showing a full set, this product is only the shirt.)
A pair of fleece-lined leggings from a HuffPost reader-beloved brand
If you remember Baleaf for their ever-popular quick-dry hiking pants, it should be no surprise that they make great leggings, too. Many of their leggings and pants are above the $30 threshold, but we did find these fleece-lined leggings for cheaper (this might technically not be a true long john, but leggings can be worn under other clothes and the fleece lining can keep you warm). They’re high-waisted with a V-shaped waistband, water-resistant, have two pockets and are designed specifically for weather below 40 degrees. The leggings are available in four colors and sizes XS-XXL.
Promising review: “I love the fit, they’re really warm, the zippers are perfect for my phone and money. They washed up good and did not lose their shape. This is my second pair. However I would love to have five of them. I’ve had them on in 20° weather and still comfortable. They are true to the size chart. In my opinion. The outside layer is very nice quality and waterproof.” — Ina
