One of our favorite all-around snow boots |
 |
| Marki Williams/NYT Wirecutter |
Many snow boots present a conundrum: They are either comfortable but skimp on warmth, or they’re plenty warm but heavy. Not so with this pair, which, after countless in-the-snow trials testing dozens of boots, we’ve crowned the quintessential women’s snow boot.
They’re cozy and lightweight without being too stiff, and they kept our toes blessedly dry in all types of snow. Also? Cinch toggles make slipping the boots on and off extremely easy — even with one hand.

We tested a parade of stylish sweaters, but none of them racked up more compliments than this luxurious crewneck, which comes in a range of playful designs. The fabric “feels like a favorite childhood blanket” — sumptuous and insulating yet light. We especially love how it layers under a wool coat.

| Michael Murtaugh/NYT Wirecutter |
Our experts have been testing light-therapy lamps since 2017, and we think our top pick is the best option for treating symptoms of seasonal affective disorder. Not only does it have all the specs recommended to be therapeutically effective, it’s also extremely easy to operate. Just make sure to position yourself within a foot of it to reap the benefits.
