The days are getting colder, and the need for being warm and cozy is getting stronger. While sitting under a warm duvet or taking a nice hot bath can’t be beat, there are many ways to elevate those experiences. So, here are the best snacks, scents, and other hamper goodies to keep you warm through winter.
Triple choc biscuits for a rainy, chilly day
There’s a universal truth we must all acknowledge: hot drinks are often just an excuse to eat biscuits, especially in the winter.
Our triple-chocolate biscuits hit that ultimate sweet spot. They are crunchy, buttery, and packed with chocolate flavour without being overwhelmingly sweet. Dunk them in your afternoon coffee, tea, or late-night cocoa, curl up under a fleece blanket, and relax.
Fragrances that feel like a hug
Since we’re all spending a bit more time indoors right now, why not make your space smell amazing? Certain scents are scientifically proven to trick your brain into feeling more relaxed and cozy. Our top two winter favourites are:
Mr Olympia: Think incense, amber, and bergamot. It’s sophisticated, a little bit nostalgic, and perfect for a night of reading or hosting friends by the heater.
Snuggles: The name says it all! Marshmallow, vanilla, and caramel blend together to make your house smell like a fresh-baked dessert. Warning: May cause intense cravings.
Candles for the perfect winter spa day
A hot bath is already a winter treat, but adding a scented candle immediately takes it to the next level.
For one, soft ambient lighting creates a similar vibe to a fireplace, helping your mind and body slow down after a busy day. For two, fragrance notes like rose, vanilla, and citrus have real relaxation science behind them!
Some winter favourites include:
Adorabubble: rosy, floral, and uplifting
Vanilla Caramel: sweet, warm, and comforting
Driver: citrusy and refreshing for a mood boost
Citrus notes are often associated with calm and cleanliness, rose with freshness and satisfaction, and vanilla with relaxation and comfort, exactly what you want during cold winter evenings.
Chilli oil for an instant warm-up
Nothing warms you up faster than a little chilli.
Capsaicin (the natural compound found in chilli peppers) can make cold days feel hot. It’s one of the easiest ways to add warmth, flavour, and depth to winter meals.
The Gonzoil chilli oil works especially well with:
Fresh pasta
Pizza
Roasted vegetables
Hearty soups
You can also grab some toasted focaccia and dip it in for an afternoon snack.
The 3 pm winter pick me up
Those darker mornings and chilly breezes make the mid-afternoon energy slump hit hard. The cure? Chocolate, obviously.
Rich chocolate feels completely indulgent and pairs flawlessly with your winter hot drinks. Melt some into warm milk for a bougie, homemade hot chocolate, or just snap off a few squares to enjoy alongside your afternoon latte. Whether you’re Team Milk or Team Dark, it is the easiest way to turn a cold day around.
