With January’s chill comes the desire for all things cozy and good for the soul — ample self-care, home and wardrobe upgrades, hot drinks, and an overall lifestyle refresh. Check out this month’s selection of Southern FINDS to keep you warm and smiling all month long.
HOME & KITCHEN
Rustic bread mix
Savannah’s darling “everything” shop, The Paris Market, is shipping out an easy-to-bake rustic French bread mix with no kneading required! Just add water, mix, and stick your boule dough in a Dutch oven for a perfect, golden crust and soft, chewy interior. The mix is $10.50 at The Paris Market.
REEL SOUTH x Non-Fiction Coffee
Nothing pairs better with a fresh year than a bold, thoughtfully roasted cup of coffee. Non-Fiction’s new collaboration is like a Southern documentary in liquid form: rich and complex. REEL SOUTH is a PBS documentary series showcasing the South’s wonders — the food, the music, the people — through films about social justice, cultural experience, environmental challenges, and more. Your bean purchase supports their work. A 12-ounce bag is $20, and a two-pound bag is $48 Non-Fiction.
Cold Gold canned coffee
This canned cold brew is smooth, bold, and caffeinated enough to slap you out of your winter slump. Sometimes, a frosty, on-the-go caffeinated delicacy is just what we need, even if it’s colder outside than in the fridge. A six-pack of this new Nashville-based creation is $30 at Oye Coffee.
Flip cap for Mason jars
This flip-cap Mason jar topper is so much handier than a screw lid! Perfect for on-the-go meals like overnight oats, oatmeal, yogurt, fresh fruit, and more, this trinket helps downsize your collection of containers and bottles and cut back on using disposables. It fits regular mouth Mason jars and is $17 at Holistic Habitat.
Oil bottle
Another worthy impetus to get cooking this year is high-quality olive oil in a fabulous vessel. This gorgeous, green-glazed one makes drizzling feel downright luxurious and earns you instant kitchen cred with every guest who spots it. It can also drizzle salad dressing during any family or friends gathering. Shop this for $60 at Wyatt’s Wheel.
Vase
With its minimalist charm and tiny arm-like handles, this quirky little vase brings some much-needed personality to your winter gloom. Stick in a couple of cheerful stems and bask in all that is alive this dreary winter. This is $62 at Ware Ware Studio.
Mr. Bird’s squirrel repellent
Winter birdwatching is a lovely pastime. Your backyard’s favorite wild birds are in for a treat, and your pesky squirrels will finally be defeated! This birdseed is infused with the natural oil of hot peppers that birds seem to enjoy while squirrels and other mammals can’t stand the heat. This seed is HOT, so use gloves and wash your hands after handling. A two-pound bag is $13.50 at Piper Lillies.
START THE YEAR ON THE RIGHT FOOT
Your Hidden Genius
Your Hidden Genius is a must-read this year — whether you feel content, stagnant, or unfulfilled at work. Betsy Wills, co-founder of YouScience and a pioneer in aptitude awareness, and expert career coach Alex Ellison joined forces to write this incredible life and career guide based on the cutting-edge aptitude assessment that comes with the book. It’s available for pre-order now for $27.89 on Amazon. (The title officially releases on January 21!)
Passport cover
If you or the adventurer in your life is already plotting 2025 travels, this classic Italian vegetable-tanned leather passport cover is for you/them. It’s inspired by Harrison, Dreamers Supply Co. owners’ five-year-old son, who stamped the whimsical symbols. After he finished, his mom finished the design with gold acrylic ink detailing. This fun FIND is $50 at Dreamers Supply Co.
Baby memento kit
If anyone is expecting in your life, this is the FIND for you! Hannah Bergen’s baby kit is a simple, beautiful way to collect, keep, and share all the cherished mementos and stories of a baby’s birth and childhood. It comes with a cover page, nameplate, notebooks, heirloom tags, stickers, cream Italian cotton ribbon, gold scissors, a dark grey Le Pen, golden fabric pins, and baby bookplates. Shop this kit for $150 at Hannah Bergen.
Puzzle mat
January commences our puzzle era. Now, you can safely put away your in-progress puzzles on this “rolling pin” style mat that keeps the pieces in place. When you’re ready, unroll the mat and resume puzzling. It’s great for storing or traveling to another room or destination. It’s $29.99 at Quinn’s Mercantile.
ACCESSORIES
Two-in-one earrings
New year, new jewelry that multitasks. These chic double-duty huggies come with interchangeable charms so that you can go from minimalist to fancy with a quick swap. The “Elinor” is a classic gold huggie with interchangeable gemstone pendants. These are $60 at Ginger & Pearl.
Crossbody bag
We love that the classic pocketbook style is coming back around. This sleek, no-nonsense crossbody is perfect for carrying your essentials. It has a flap with magnetic closure, an inside slip pocket, solid brass hardware, and an adjustable buckle strap. Handmade of 100% full-grain leather, it’s available at Weather & Story for $225.
Sneaker socks
If you’re also tired of basic, boring socks, meet the sneaker socks: a breathable sock that won’t leave a mark on your skin like most sockbands do. You can sweat, jump, and play in this airy cotton blend material. They’re chic enough to wear with loafers and Mary Jane’s, too! These are available in five fab colors for $12 at Megan Huntz.
BATH & BODY
Lotion
Dallas-based Niven Morgan has created a widely loved line of luxurious personal-care products and hand-poured candles. The pepper, sage, and cedar hand and body lotion is fortified with aloe vera, shea butter, sunflower oil, and Vitamins C and E to restore cracked and aging skin. It’s available for $25 at Niven Morgan.
Body oil
If your skin is tired of feeling like sandpaper, an after-shower body oil is a silky-smooth savior. No greasy residue here, just rich hydration ready to nourish any type of skin. This scent combines luxurious essential oils like frankincense and fir needle to create a subtle wintry smell. Apply this while your skin is still a little damp, and ogle the results. Shop this for $28.99 at Cleansed Pure & Simple.
Headband set
This charming terry cloth headband and wristband are here to save your sleeves and sanity while you’re self-caring this year. Who knew you could do your morning and nighttime routines without turning your bathroom into a waterpark? This set comes in many colors for $13.95 at Poppy & Pomela.
Here’s to a cozy January!
