Winter is here for those of us in the north. For the frugal and green amongst us, with the thermostat turned down, staying warm requires a few resources and a sense of humor.
Funny long underwear is one way to stay warm, but there are lot’s more funky, frugal, or fashionable ways to stay warm this winter. Thanks for the inspiration when I wrote about turning down the thermostat.
- Funny long underwear – silk, wool, and anti-odor fabrics will do the job well.
- Hot water bottles – great for pre-warming beds and for snuggling with under a blanket.
- Flannel PJs – top choice of clothing for keeping you cozy in bed at night.
- Snuggle-buddy – whoever you have to snuggle up with at night, pet or person.
- Hot cocoa or chocolate with marshmallows – simply the best after time outdoors.
- Copious cups of tea – just like the Scots, stay warm with lashings of tea.
- Fingerless gloves – funky, stylish, or frumpy, they keep your fingers happy.
- Blankets and throws – for any time you’re sitting still. Wool and cotton are nice and avoid annoying static.
- Home-made soup and fresh-baked bread – what other food can beat the simplicity and comfort of soup and bread?
- Dressing gowns, bathrobes, housecoats and wraps – stylish or not, they’re the next best thing to a warm bed.
Find organic long underwear, hot water bottles, cotton bathrobes, wool blankets, fingerless gloves, tea, flannel pj’s, and everything except a live snuggle buddy at Amazon.com.
