Cosy treats for dark days
It's cold, drizzly and dark at 5pm so it's time to up the comfort factor with these must-have items for days indoors, including plenty of opportunities to #supportlocal

Light it up
Cold, dark evenings call for candles – and lots of them. We love the cool monochrome looks of these candles from local maker Loggique available exclusively at Collen & Clare in Southwold. We’ve chosen a cosy Christmas Vetiver and Fir scent, because this year there’s no such thing as Christmas come early!

Light my fire
Is there anything cosier in winter than lighting a fire and snuggling up for a sofa session? We think not. Make sure your fireside set-up is on point and easy to use with this clever log storage solution from Angela Reed in Saffron Walden. Not only does it look stunning, but it has easy-to-access space for kindling as well as logs.

Fluffy feet
Fluffy slippers are an A/W staple and we had to include these fabulous pink Moccasin slippers from Suffolk’s very own Nursey Sheepskin in Bungay. Handmade from 100% sheepskin, they’re super-soft, stylish and come in a range of vibrant colours.

You can’t get much comfier than this cardigan/robe hybrid from The White Company – it’s basically a blanket with arms. Stylish and minimal design with dropped shoulders and deep pockets, it features a dash of luxurious alpaca wool for added warmth.

Treat your toes to a pair of these super soft Alpaca socks from local business The Cambridge Sock Company. Available in four colours, they’re made from 75% Alpaca, and would make a lovely stocking filler – hint, hint!
