It’s officially Cuffing Season, and whether you’re looking to cozy up to a loved one or reclaim some solo time with yourself, brands have released a number of new products to help you feel more connected.

Though there are no official dates for Cuffing Season, it’s generally seen as the period between October and Valentine’s Day. Landing yourself a partner during that time (I.e. the “cuffing” part) ensures you’ll have a fun date for Halloween, someone to bring home to the family over Thanksgiving and Christmas, and — if you’re lucky — a Valentine’s Day boo.

Of course, Cuffing Season also overlaps with Cozy Season, the time of year where cold weather makes you want to just stay indoors and curl up into a ball. Finding someone to curl up and snuggle with? Well that’s a pretty good bonus.

Whether you’re looking to land a partner or trying to keep the one you have, we’ve rounded up 13 Cuffing Season products, couples toys and gift ideas to pick up online now.

The perfume is floral and sophisticated, with notes of blackcurrant bud, panna cotta, pink pepper, jasmine and rose. The liquid is then infused with androstenol, said to help increase openess and friendliness to others, and copulins, which is a type of pheromone related to ovulation and is said to spike testosterone levels in men. According to reviews, just a few drops of this scent can go a long way.

While there is no shortage of candle brands on the market, we like these Lulu Candles, which are hand-poured in the USA and available for easy ordering on Amazon. The black glass votive adds an elegant touch to your space, while this jasmine, oud and sandalwood scent is at once luxurious and inviting.

From the makers of the bestselling card game, “We’re Not Really Strangers,” this “Couples” box features 150 conversation cards that ask you about everything from personal gripes, to love languages.

Made from 18k-plated gold, you can personalize the necklace with the letter of your choice. It sits next to a subtle gold heart all on a 16-inch chain. This initial necklace is also available in silver.

Inspired by the viral Snuggie blanket, this “Cuddle Buddy” doubles as a cozy throw and wearable hoodie in one. With plenty of room for two people, the blanket features adjustable drawstrings, side pockets and a front pouch. Choose from more than eight colors and prints online.

This one is an Amazon bestseller, with more than 5,000 units sold in the last month alone. Choose from a three-pound weighted blanket all the way up to 20 pounds (I personally use a 15-pound blanket). The tiny weighted beads are nestled into the woven pockets of the blanket and provide high pressure support to help ease restlessness in bed. And while you may want to get hot and heavy under these covers, this weighted blanket is surprisingly breathable, so you won’t sweat all night. It’s machine-washable too.

This one is available on Amazon, and features one side filled with more plush stuffing than the other. That in effect creates a warmer and cooler temperature “zone,” depending on which side of the comforter you use. The filling itself is made from 100% organic cotton, per the brand.

If you need a little bit more help to regulate temperatures in bed, you can also pick up this electric mattress topper, which sits on top of your existing mattress, and channels nine different temperature options once you plug it in.

In our experience, there’s truly a date idea for everything, whether you like painting, cooking, nature, snapping photos or just a relaxing getaway. A bonus: flip a coin to decide who’s paying for the date.

The Twilight series is an ideal cuffing season movie, and this box set gets you all five films spread over ten discs. You can watch them through a Blu-ray player or use the included codes for a digital download of each movie that you can watch on your computer. There are also two hours of “bonus footage” collected here that you didn’t see in theaters.

If you’re going to lounge, make it comfortable with this oversized Lululemon sweatshirt. Made from a heavyweight cotton-blend shell with a fleecy lining, this is a sweatshirt you’ll be reaching for again and again. Make it a matching set with Lululemon’s Big Cozy Joggers here. What we like: the crewneck and pants are sleek and tailored enough to be able to wear out of the house too. And you can always getting matching sets for the both of you.

The pillow is shaped like a ripped and rugged man, with one side offering an arm to curl up under, and the other side offering broad chest to snuggle into. Also known as a “Boyfriend Pillow,” the cushy companion measures approximately 20 inches in height. A tip: spray a bit of your loved one’s favorite cologne on the pillow to bring back warm memories.

I’ve had my boyfriend pillows for years now, and even put a shirt on him (it?) to make it feel more familiar. Whether that’s sad or ingenious remains to be seen… (I’m leaning towards “sad”).

Adult toy site, Lovehoney, has these metal handcuffs with faux fur cover available in a host of colors. The cuffs come with two keys and a quick-release lever so you’re never stuck; the faux fur restraints are also machine-washable in case your dirty mind also leads to dirty play.

There are 11 toys and accessories in this beginner kit, including butt plugs, anal beads and a masturbator for all genders and preferences.
