The winter season is upon us and if you’re like most of us you are not made out of money. This means, that we need to find ways of saving money instead of cranking up that heating bill. How can we do this? Obviously bundle up, drink tea and maybe generate a bit of body friction. While we’re at it, why not knock out two birds with one stone and get some items for not only ourselves but also our friends that are cosplay related. There’s nothing better than staying warm in style.
My Neighbor Totoro Hoodie
First up we have this amazing My Neighbor Totoro Hoodie. It looks warm from what I can tell and has a 4-star rating meaning there has to be something good about it right? The most amazing feature though is the awesome ears that the hoodie sports along with the adorable Totoro smiling face. How amazing would it be to rock this hoodie while watching the movie My Neighbor Totoro? Mix this in with some hot chocolate and you have yourself a whole date night. Maybe you can even end it with some Disney+ and….. memories.
Japanese Teapot
If you favor tea then this is the gift for you. It’s a nice alternative to hot chocolate if you want to cut down on both carbs and sugar. I’m not exactly sure the name of this cat but I know it represents good luck. I don’t know about you guys but I certainly need a bit of luck moving into 2020. Not to say 2019 wasn’t great, but moving forward some added luck would certainly be useful. Snag this teapot and mix it in with the hoodie of your choice and ur being warmed from the inside and out.
Demon Slayer Socks
I don’t know about you but if there’s one thing I hate its cold feet. Even worse is when your partner has cold feet and decides to place them on you. This is damn near grounds for divorce. Especially if the individual is a repeat offender. What better way to solve this issue than with some Demon Slayer Socks. Feel free to snatch any demon slayer of your choice as there is a wide variety. I know I have my eyes set on the Zenitsu set, how about you?
Cat Ears Beanie
So although it’s not from a specific anime, cat ears are commonly seen throughout so many anime. Although we think they’re just being cute, I am starting to believe the creators do not want their characters to be cold. Tokyo can drop to around 36 degrees Fahrenheit meaning you are going to want to trap as much body heat as possible. A large portion of heat loss actually occurs through our heads so it only makes sense that we need Cat Ear Beanies to preserve it. But let’s face it, we all know it just looks cute and that’s the reason we’re going to purchase it! Heat retention is just an added bonus.
Pikachu Onesie
Next up we have the most iconic Pokémon to ever grace the series. That’s right, Ashes’ best friend and number one ally. Pikachu is an electric type Pokémon and is arguably the cutest Pokémon in the series. He has bested several Pokémon much stronger than him due to sheer will power and training. Well since we can’t have an actual Pikachu, why not settle for becoming one. With this amazing onesie, you will be capable of both staying warm and accentuating your own cuteness.
Animal Hat Scarf
Another item that I had to include because it not only looks warm and has great reviews, but its simply adorable. With this gift, you’re getting three items for the price of one. You’re getting the scarf, hat, and gloves all combined into one nifty package. As an added bonus this Animal Hat Scarf would look great for your next convention. So if you’re headed to any winter anime or cosplay themed conventions, don’t hesitate to snag this item.
Anime Slippers
Another item rocking a 5-star review on our list are these awesome Anime Slippers. Do I really need to stress the importance of not having or placing cold feet on others? If you combine these slippers with a matching pair of socks then you are sure to prevent anyone from experiencing the displeasure of both cold feet and the temptation of placing cold feet on others. They come in many styles so feel free to select your favorite anime.
Ahegao Hoodie
I’m not so sure this hoodie needs an explanation. I believe the faces say it all! More importantly, this item has 73 reviews at the moment along with nearly a 5-star rating. I’m not exactly sure how warm this item will keep you during freezing temperatures, but it’s sure to help around the house or a convention. The hoodie comes in color along with black and white. This lets you decide how flashy you want to be with your winter apparel.
Anime Neck Scarf
We have already discussed how important it is to keep your head and neck region properly insulated from these harsh winter elements. If the Animal Hat Scarf didn’t fit into your personal style, then maybe this Anime Neck Scarf will. It’s only designed to keep the neck region warm but hey sometimes that’s all you need. Combine this with the Cat Ears Beanie and you have the entire head region covered.
Sailor Moon Blanket
Last but not least we have this awesome Sailor Moon Blanket. Who doesn’t want to fight evil by moonlight from the comfort of their couch? The blanket is your staple defense against the harsh winter months. It has been used for ages to keep cosplayers warm and never fails. When all else fails and your backs against the wall, its time to bust out the Blanket.
I hope you found a few items on the list that will help you stay warm for the next few months. There are tons of items to choose from so feel free to get creative. I expect to see tons of people at conventions in 2020 so start saving money now to make those cosplay dreams come true.
