I Work From Home, and These 10 Essentials Keep Me Cozy in the Winter-Including Slippers, Heaters, and More

"I've been working from home full time for the last five years, and there are some things I'd like to say I've "perfected" in creating the perfect setup. Each season's setup is a little different, and as we've finally made it to my favorite, winter (January baby here!), I swapped out some things in my office to keep me warm and toasty as I work."

"A friend of mine gave these as a Christmas gift years ago, and I've repurchased them a few times not only for myself (to replace my extremely worn out original pair), but also for others as their gifts, too. The slipper has a very plush, faux fur lining that wraps around a large portion of the shoe. Compared to other styles I've seen, these Donpapa slippers have more fur around them, which is a look that just adds a scoop of coziness to your outfit."

A five-year full-time remote work routine adapts office setup seasonally with winter emphasizing warmth and productivity. The setup prioritizes coziness without skyrocketing heating bills by using a powerful space heater and insulating accessories. Core comfort items include plush memory-foam slippers, ultra-soft socks, an oversized quarter-zip, wide-leg sweatpants, and a wool throw blanket. Durable insulated drinkware keeps coffee hot for extended periods. Additional functional gear includes an electric back heating pad, whole-room heater, humidifier, and noise-cancelling headphones to maintain focus while remaining warm. Specific product examples include Donpapa slippers, the BruMate Muv tumbler, Renpo heating pad, Dreo heater, Carepod humidifier, and Bose QuietComfort headphones.
