Amazon January bestsellers seen on TODAY
Viottiset 2-Piece Knit Sweater Set
When you don't know what to wear in the middle of winter, this is the answer, says Garcia. The sweater set is polished but low effort, with zero buttons, zippers or snaps to mess with. It comes in a range of colors and sizes up to XL.
Pavoi 14K Two-Toned Convertible Link Earrings
One of the biggest jewelry trends we've seen lately is mixed metals, and thanks to these lightweight 14K gold-plated earrings, you can try the look without breaking the bank. Our editors love this Amazon jewelry seller, and one writer even showers, works out and sleeps in a pair from the brand. On this specific pair, you can remove the bottom link for a more understated look, giving you options for both gold-toned huggie earrings and mixed metal drop earrings for the price of one.
Dr. Groot Miracle in Shower Treatment
Dr. Groot is a huge name in Korean hair care for their thickening products, and the Shop TODAY team has been loving this new launch. The scalp treatment targets common issues like buildup and hair loss, with dermatologist-approved ingredients like rosemary oil, niacinamide and salicylic acid. After rinsing out your shampoo, Garcia suggests massaging this formula into a damp scalp and leaving it on while you wash your body to reap the benefits before rinsing it out.
O'Keefe's Working Hands Hand Cream
With over 75,000 ratings on Amazon, this hand cream is an essential for winter, Garcia says. Whether you're battling dry hands or cracked cuticles, this lotion has a balm-like consistency that doesn't feel greasy and absorbs quickly. At less than $10, a little bit goes a long way, meaning the jar will last you through winter.
Yarramate 2-in-1 Oil Sprayer for Cooking
If your resolution is to eat healthier or cook at home more, this nifty gadget can help you stay on track. It's a refillable oil dispenser that both pours and mists, and Garcia loves that you can use the sprayer to avoid over-saturating your food with oil or wasting more than you need. Plus, it's dishwasher-safe!
Baker's Signature Air Fryer Paper Liners (120 Pieces)
Air fryers are one of the most useful appliances in modern kitchens, but the cleanup can be a chore. That's why Garcia swears by an air fryer basket liner, which makes cleanup as easy as throwing away the paper liner after you've finished cooking. They're waterproof, oil-proof and can withstand temperatures up to 450 degrees, per the brand.
Lotelli Air Fryer Magnetic Cheat Sheet Set
Another air fryer accessory you won't want to go without is this kitchen "cheat sheet" that shows the recommended cooking times and temperatures for a ton of common air fryer dishes, from chicken wings to brussels sprouts. It's magnetic, so you can simply pop it on the fridge and keep it handy as a reference next time you need it.
More Amazon January bestsellers
Essence Lash Princess Mascara Primer
Have you heard of a "mascara cocktail?" The beauty hack involves applying a layer of this bestselling primer before your usual mascara for eyelashes that are longer and more voluminous than you can achieve with mascara alone. At less than $5, it's certainly worth adding to cart.
Grace & Stella Foot Peel Mask (2 Pairs)
Winter tends to take its toll on our skin. If your feet are in need of some TLC, these foot peel masks provide a grossly satisfying self-care moment. Over time, they help shed away calluses and cracked heels for baby-soft skin, the brand says.
Dabria Water Bottle Carrier Bag
If your emotional support water bottle never leaves your side, this neat invention is a must-buy. The carrier bag has a strap to make toting around your tumbler easier, plus a pocket for cards and your phone, hooks to hang your keys from and more.
Elon Lanolin-Rich Nail Conditioner
Winter has a number of seasonal side effects, but dry, brittle nails are among the most annoying. That's why we love this conditioning treatment, which aims to strengthen nails and thicken cuticles. In most cases, it provides results in as little as two to three weeks, the brand claims.
Warmies Microwavable Slippers
These fluffy memory foam slippers are even cozier than they look — you can pop them in the microwave to keep your feet toasty for up to an hour at a time, the brand shares. No more cold feet!
Baleaf Fleece Lined Leggings
Fleece-lined leggings are a go-to during these cold winter months. These are breathable and warm without being bulky, and they feature deep pockets that can fit your phone, keys and other essentials. Plus, they're super flattering and feel really luxurious.
Levoit Top Fill Humidifier
This easy-to-use humidifier can help make the air in your bedroom less dry to potentially relieve congestion and dry throat. The home gadget has an easy-to-fill top and can run for up to 25 hours, the brand says. It has more than 15,000 perfect, five-star ratings from Amazon customers.
Zesica Batwing Sweater
Looking for the the coziest sweater to wear on repeat all winter long? This is the one. It’s got just the right amount of chunkiness, comes in over two dozen different colors in sizes S-XXL and has over 13,000 perfect, five-star ratings.
