Happy National Cuddle Up Day, folks!

Today's Top Deals

As the weather gets colder and colder, the need for a good cuddle becomes stronger and stronger. On a personal level, I’m sadly extremely cuddle-deprived this January due to the single life — and I’m sure a lot of you out understand what I mean. Sure, I bet some of you have pets to snuggle up with, but I’m pet-free. I’ve got plants, but they’re not exactly cuddle-friendly.

For National Cuddle Up Day, I’m finding new ways to snug like a bug in a rug even if I’m the only bug in that rug. Cuddling up is just as much of a solo sport as it is a team sport. You just need the right things to cozy on up with.

So, to celebrate National Cuddle Up Day in 2023, I’m inspiring other single people across the globe to celebrate solo. We need no one except for ourselves! Okay? Okay!

From snuggly weighted blankets to adorable Pillow Pets, see everything you might need below for the perfect solo cuddle up sesh that National Cuddle Up Day never saw comin’.
