It’s getting colder many places, which means daily life may get a little harder in terms of getting out of bed in the morning, changing out of warm pajamas into day clothes, and convincing yourself to leave the heat of your shower and return to the chilly air.

Enter the reviewer-beloved SereneLife towel warmer, currently on sale for up to 33% off for a limited time, the lowest listed price of the year for the models with black and cherry accents. This gadget will make life a little easier and much more pleasurable. Called a game-changing “affordable luxury” by reviewers, it’ll make your towels deliciously warm so you can wrap yourself in a cozy sheath after your shower or bath. Reviewers also swear by it for warming up blankets for themselves, their kids, and their parents or parent-in-laws. Many also ingeniously use it to warm up their clothes, so their layers will also be heated after they dry off with a cozy warm towel.

This towel warmer is also incredibly intuitive and user-accessible, offering a built-in timer with options for 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes of heating time, and an automatic shut-off feature. It’s designed to be compact and lightweight, so it’ll fit easily in small spaces and won’t be too heavy for you to move around if needed.

Also, I’m convinced — as are many reviewers — that it would be an excellent gift. One reviewer bought the towel warmer for her children, who never asked for it or wanted it before, and said now they cannot shower without it

There’s something to be said for simple, affordable luxuries, especially in times of stress or when you need some extra TLC. This investment is one of those things, and will keep giving long after your purchase.

SereneLife’s one-touch towel warmer.

Promising Amazon reviews:

This towel warmer makes my bathroom feel so luxurious. I feel like I am visiting a five star spa when I use it. If you hate getting out of the shower or the bath and instantly freezing then this towel warmer is perfect for you. The towels are heated quickly and you will instantly be warmer with use. It’s so relaxing and it not just for towels, I will use this for my pajamas and blankets before going to bed and also my robe. It is easily large enough to fit my long, oversized robe. It can fit multiple bath towels at once. Two oversized bath towels, usually 40” by 70” in size, can fit with room to spare. The towels are warmed thoroughly, no cold spots, just complete warmth. The outside is safe to touch, so if you have kids or pets you don’t have to worry. However, when you open the lid the side of the warmer will be hot. The hot surface light displayed reminds you not to touch. Another useful safer feature for me is automatic shutoff. Often when in a rush I forget to turn off things so this is one less thing that I have to worry about turning off- it will shut down itself after an hour. It’s very stylish and attractive, I don’t mind leaving it out in my bathroom, but if you wish to store it when not in use it is super lightweight and can be transported easily. It also wipes cleans. I enjoy pampering myself with this and getting that spa feeling right in the privacy of my home.” — Heavy Duty

“I adore cozy blankets and towels. My most favorite thing to do after washing towels and blankets is to pull them straight from the dryer, smell and then wrap myself in them. This towel warmer allows the same experience but is conveniently located right next to my bathtub! I can’t even begin to express how much I loveeeee having that warm towel after coming straight out of the shower and bath. You can also put your PJ’s and sleepwear in the warmer and even blankets (as long as it’s not too huge). I hate being cold so this towel warmer is an absolute godsend! So what I do is, while getting ready to take a shower, I turn on the warmer and place my towel or clothing inside. By the time I’m done everything is nice and warm and being covered in heat at the end of the shower is the most amazing thing everrrrr! Loveee this! Buy it, you won’t regret it!” — FoXyAF

“UPDATE: Ordered a second one this month. 9/2023. The other one is still going strong. My mother in law has been quite ill and I’m using the second one to warm twin size cotton blankets for her. I don’t trust heated blankets so much, and I can just use large towels or these cotton blankets to give her some warmth. I can put the towels and blankets in the washer and dryer with no issues like a heated blanket. This one has a pink accent and it is not ugly or imposing. Heating blankets is just a different way to use these. I’m very thankful I discovered these last year.

July 2022: This is my new favorite thing. With chronic pain, getting out of the warm shower affects my balance and I get a cold, painful chill. I never thought a towel warmer would make me so much more comfortable. I can put a huge bath towel, smaller towel for my hair and a large hand towel in there with lots of room to spare. I only used the scent disc once with some lavender oil but other people might use it more. It’s easy to operate and does not take up much space. Some of the styles of these are quite ugly but this one is unimposing. My teens use it too and even warmed up the towels for the dog after her bath. This bit of self care is soooo worth it.” — Tree Warden

The Gifts That Men Told Us They Actually Want For The Holidays
A Makita job site coffee maker(01 of17)
Open Image Modal
Brandon Jenkins, a professional muralist who frequently paints outdoors, said he really wants this job site coffee maker by Makita, a power tool brand that he touts as "one of the best." It's powered by the same rechargeable batteries that operate your favorite Makita power tools and brews up to three cups of coffee at once, without the need for single-use paper filters.

"It's something that's not only functional but really cool and it can save money in the long run because I wouldn't have to run to a coffee shop while on a job site," Jenkins said.

A lightweight insulated rain jacket(02 of17)

According to Jenkins, Carhartt's line of Rain Defender jackets are great for anyone who works outside in the elements or spends a lot of time outdoors. If he could, he would ask for one in every version, ranging from heavily insulated jackets to lightweight hooded windbreakers. "They are just really functional and great quality," he said.

This particular rain jacket is moderately insulated for partly cold conditions and features a water-repellent coating that will keep your guy completely dry in rain or snow. The relaxed and non-bulky fit means it's easy to move in, and it comes in six colors and sizes S-3XL as well as tall sizing.

A splurge-worthy camera drone(03 of17)

Another gift request from Jenkins: a camera drone, which he said would be great for capturing large outdoor shots of artwork or cityscapes. According to some knowledgeable users on Reddit, the DJI Mini 3 Pro is a great beginner-friendly option that's worth the price and suitable for a number of needs. This agile drone features multi-directional obstacle sensing to help avoid crashing, is ultra-compact for travel and has a variety of film and photo-capturing capturing abilities for shots that are clear, vivid and professional-looking.

A personalized celebrity message from Cameo(04 of17)

Cameo.com is a website offering short personalized video messages from well-known celebrities. Buying one is a winning gift, according to Monika Porch, a reader of the HuffPost Women Facebook page.

"My dad is a massive fan of the show MASH," she explained. "...He just rewatches over and over again. I got him a Cameo from Jamie Farr and he was over the moon. I revealed I had been debating between Jamie and Loretta Swit and he asked if I could get him a Cameo from her as well. Both actors were very kind and Jamie even showed off some of his MASH memorabilia and now my dad has the biggest street cred in his retirement community and shows it off constantly to people."

A pair of universal Glasvin wine glasses(05 of17)
Open Image Modal
HuffPost Shopping managing editor Emily Ruane’s husband, Chris Grosso, recently picked up one of these Glasvin wine glasses and wants to add a few more to his stash. “They’re as close to the feel of Zalto — some of the best wineglasses in the world — but for half the price,” he said.

Having handled one at home recently, Ruane said, she can vouch for the fact that the glass is astonishingly light and thin-rimmed, and yet somehow didn't shatter when she accidentally knocked it into the sink while doing the dishes.

The hand-blown glasses are created from lead-free crystal and promise to complement any and all vintages.

A Santoku cleaver-knife(06 of17)

Grosso would also be happy to receive this 7-inch hollow-ground santoku knife from Shun. “This is a really good multifunctional knife for chopping vegetables and carving meat,” he said. “[It’s] highly functional and very stylish.” Made in Japan, this knife-cleaver hybrid has a sturdy handle made from a wood-resin composite material and a sharply tapered blade that’s layered with 34 ultra-thin sheets of stainless steel.

A portable commercial-grade pizza oven from Gozney(07 of17)
Open Image Modal
Of this popular and relatively affordable pizza oven (it's currently marked down $100), Grosso says that “making pizza is fine, but I want this for what it does to steaks. [It has] the ability to give a steakhouse-like sear to your meat.” Gozney’s insulated Roccbox has a stone floor and a “rolling” propane-powered flame that mimics that of a wood-burning oven, with internal temperatures reaching up to 950 degrees. Thanks to the foldable legs and built-in thermometer, it can be ready for action in a matter of minutes. It comes with a professional-grade pizza peel valued at $85. (credit:Gozney)
A smart drink fridge that doubles as a bar cart(08 of17)
Open Image Modal
Grosso spotted this stylish wine fridge when it launched earlier in the month and noticed its unique styling and smart design. It’s equipped with reversible racks that can be re-arranged to accommodate bottles and beverages of all shapes and sizes, and temperature zones powered by the same compression technology that’s found in Sub Zero refrigerators. The triple-thick reeded glass door is both attractive and functional, providing added insulation and diffusing any incoming light, protecting the contents of bottles.

“I like that they seem to have engineered it so that it doesn't rattle the way most wine fridges do, and it looks nice enough to blend in with your dining room decor,” he said. “If you’re going to serve wine, you might as well serve it at the right temperature.”

The appliance also promises to run quietly, something that’s hard to find in a cheaper model. “Lesser fridges can be extremely noisy, which is something you definitely don't want in an area where you’re hanging out,” Grosso said.

Melanie Gray, a member of the HuffPost's Parents Facebook page, said her husband wants a smoker. We found this well-rated option with a spacious vertical interior that can accommodate up to three chickens, two turkeys, three pork butts and three rib racks all at once. It's fully electric for easy operation and has an analog temperature dial to precisely set your desired temperature control, along with a pull-out wood chip tray for infusing meat with a delicious smokey flavor.

A highly rated 3D printer(10 of17)

We found this impressively rated 3D printer from Amazon; it's an item also inspired by Gray's husband's wish list. The brand claims it takes just two hours to assemble, has the ability to resume a printing job even after an interruption and features an updated extruder component that's less likely to clog.

My father, Eliazar Flores, is a big beer lover and says a hoppy brew is always a welcome addition to his gift list. In the past I've gifted him an assortment of craft beers, similar to this 12-day advent calendar by Give Them Beer. It features a top-rated selection of beers that range from rich stouts to bitter IPAs sourced from microbreweries from across the country. (credit:Give Them Beer)
A pair of durable, work-ready overalls(12 of17)
Open Image Modal
This is the second year in a row that my dad has asked for another pair of these trusty relaxed-fit overalls by Carhartt, his uniform of choice for outdoor gardening and landscape work.

"I like how durable they are and that I don't have to wear a belt with them like I do with regular pants," he said, adding that they fit perfectly around his waist.

Made from a heavy duck cotton, these overalls feature elastic suspenders and tons of pockets and are less likely to wear at the knees thanks to a double layer of fabric. They are available in four colors and 22 sizes, including longer length options.

A helpful robot vacuum(13 of17)

Noah Michelson, head of HuffPost Personal, hasn't been this excited about a gift in a while. He recently gave himself this Roomba vacuum by iRobot.

This beloved automatic vacuum intelligently cleans floors using row-by-row navigation, and with the accompanying smart app, users can schedule cleanings and pair up with other smart home systems for a voice-command operation. Even tight corners and baseboard crevices are no match for the multi-surface brushes and powerful suction promised by this helpful household friend.

A classic game with a grownup twist(14 of17)

Game night advocates may appreciate this adult version of Telestrations, a gift Michelson said he recently purchased for a fried. "It's so fun and stupid in the best way possible," he said.

An interactive game that relies on miscommunication, poorly drawn sketches and hilarious guesses, Telestrations After Dark promises to be endlessly entertaining and perfectly crass.

For as long as I can remember, my father has always loved these exact 574s from New Balance, a shoe that he frequently requests as a gift for holidays and birthdays. He said he likes that they are good for the gym, work or everyday wear and they also remind him of when he was in high school during the '80s. They feature an ultra comfortable soft foam midsole, come in a wide range of color options and, according to my dad, are one of the only tennis shoes that work with his short, wide feet.

If you're looking to gift a proud beard-owner in your life, this beard oil by Jack Black would make the perfect stocking stuffer, according to my dad. This nourishing formula contains a blend of vitamin E and Kalahari melon oil to tame coarse beard strands and hydrate skin. (credit:Sephora)

Michael Metzger, a member of the HuffPost Parents Facebook page, said that the only thing he wants for the holidays is the latest reissue of Steely Dan's 1977 classic, "Aja." A reissue that's a year in the making and was personally overseen by founding Steely Dan member Donald Fagen, this remastering comes in a collectible box set and can be a great gift for music collectors.
