Yutanpo, a Japanese hot water bottle, £40 , Objects of Use
We’re big hot water bottle fans (it’s a product whose sole purpose is to give you a warm hug; what’s not to love?). We’re intrigued by this unusual galvanised steel rendition of the classic. But do note, fill with warm – NEVER boiling – water!

Shetland Island Sheepskins, £95, Freight HHG
We’re obsessed by Freight HHG’s minimal but perfectly crafted aesthetic. This Shetland Island sheepskin is the ultimate thing to throw over an armchair and sink into for hours of snug bliss.

Hopsack Throw, £250, Bamford
This hand-spun, hand-woven throw is gloriously soft and comforting. Just the thing for curling up with on a winter’s eve.

Shearling Sheepskin Slippers, £79, Toast
Keeping toes toasty is the first commandment of cosiness. How better to do so than with this gorgeous sheepskin pair of slippers?

Kindling basket, £460, Annemarie O’Sullivan
As the mercury plummets, we’ll mostly be found by the fire. We’re coveting this handmade basket – hewn from Dicky Meadow Willow –for all our kindling and newspaper storage needs.

Handmade Stoneware Tealight Holder, £12, Rowen and Wren
Rowen and Wren has almost too much to choose from when it comes to stylish but cosy accoutrements for the home. But since candlelight is everything in winter, we find this Florence Nightingale-reminiscent candleholders irresistible.

Fireside Embers Scented Candle, £24, Plum and Ashby
For those of us who don’t have an open fire at home, candles help set the tone and give ambient warmth to a room (if not literal heat). We love this one by Plum and Ashby, which recreates the scent of the last embers of a fire. Heaven.

Phoenix Aran Cable Men’s Cashmere Socks, £69, Johnstons of Elgin
The idea of getting socks in your stocking for Christmas used to seem unimaginably dull. These days, we’d welcome a pair of such sublimely soft examples as these (in the red colourway, please).

Patchwork Bedspread in Ruby, £150, John Lewis
We’ve always been big fans of a patchwork quilt, and although this one suggests its for your bed, it will, in fact, be accompanying us straight to the sofa for obligatory duvet days this winter.

Velvet Song Love Seat, £3,495, Maker & Son
Maker & Son claims to make the comfiest armchairs and sofas in existence. We’re dreaming of pulling this one up to the fire and then staying put – perhaps for days on end. It comes in all manner of colourways, and is big enough for two to snuggle on, hence its name.

Small Metal House, £16, Flint
These mini houses looks utterly charming illuminated by tealight. Dot them about the house or cluster together on a mantelpiece or dresser.

Velvet Quilt Throw, £183, Heal’s
Was there ever a creation more suitable for nuzzling into and cocooning yourself from the cold than this? No, is the correct answer.

Sheepskin Hot Water Bottle in Charcoal, £39, King's Farmers
If you err on the side of classic cosy when it comes to your hot water bottle, this sheepskin beauty is the stuff of huggable dreams.

Navy And Terracotta Coffee Cup, £10.95, Closet & Botts
It is imperative that winter afternoons spent curled up with a book must be accompanied with multiple cups of cocoa. We have our eye on this beautifully chunky mug for all our hot choc needs this season.
