Each month at Good Housekeeping, we round up the best gifts on the market, report on top trends of the season and put both new and trusted products to the test in the esteemed Good Housekeeping Institute — and each month, our readers decide which items they want to spend their hard-earned cash on.
Heading into the first few months of the New Year, Good Housekeeping readers armed themselves with smart, inexpensive products to combat the cold. Temps have dropped, so our readers filled their carts with hydrating humidifiers to relieve dryness, repairing hand creams for seasonal cold snaps, weighted blankets for that much-needed extra layer, plus cozy blankets you can actually wear – all beloved by our editors or tested by our Lab pros in the Good Housekeeping Institute.
Your purchases also screamed, “out with the old and in with the new,” featuring DIY beauty products like an at-home gel nail kit and a drugstore box hair dye for a fun winter pick-me-up. Riding the high of the holiday gift-giving season, you aimed your focus toward self-care and stepped into their New Year’s resolutions, trying out everything from our favorite multivitamins for women to the best calorie counting apps.
Below are the 10 most popular products of 2022 (so far), as dictated by you, our GH readers. Even better, everything is under $60, so securing your winter essentials is easy on you and your wallet:
