8. Stio Unisex Hometown Down Scarf; $99

Winter is the time to bundle up in coats, hats, gloves, boots, and snow pants to keep the cold at bay. Scarves can be a challenging—though necessary—winter accessory, as they often slide out of place, leaving people's faces exposed to the biting wind. This insulated scarf from Stio snaps shut, so slippage won't be an issue. It also has a pocket where users can store things like money or keys.

9. Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2; $100

Help your giftee prevent this problem by giving them a smart temperature control mug. It'll keep their drinks between 120 °F to 145 °F and has one and a half hours of battery life.
