EDITOR'S NOTE

Now that it finally feels cold (especially if you’re in the southeast like myself), our team is collectively cozy-ifying our spaces with:

• This plush down pillow that won’t have you waking up feeling stiff. Use code SKIMM20 at checkout.

• An adorable candle dedicated to a night in.

• A cashmere throw our Commerce Director curls up on the couch with every night.

• This national parks-themed miniature puzzle, which you can do by yourself in a sitting or two. I did over Thanksgiving.
