This is the season I hate the most ¨C it's so cold, and everyone has to bundle-up under a dozen layers to beat back the cold. I can't find any beauty in winter! However, there are a few items that can keep us warm...and happy.

Cartoon slippers

Slipping these on won't turn you into Cinderella,but with these slippers, you can be Hello Kitty, Astroboy, Sailor Moon or a flying pig. Fairy tales are always heartwarming, aren't they?

Available: Opposite of Watsons, B/1, 77 Street, Xidan, Xicheng
Price: 25 yuan per pair

Shufeixie boots

Even if the name sounds a little dumb, your feet won't mind. A pair will keep your toes tosty throughout the winter, but you know what? I hate talking about all this footwear stuff. It makes me think of smelly feet.

Available: A18, New World Shoe's Town, Xidan, Xicheng
Price: 399 yuan

Massaging shoes

If you're trying to avoid stinky feet, these might help out. They may not be terribly attractive, but their rhythm will make you feel like you have a sexy lady massaging your feet. Enough about feet for this week...

Available: B/1, Beichen Shopping Center, Yayuncun, Chaoyang
Price: 450 yuan

Dog-patterned quilt

Difficult to guess what it is at first sight? Well, it's a quilt wrapped up in a lovely dog-print bag. If this isn't enough to keep your warm at night, you can go find a real dog.

Available: Xuelai Bed Stuff, No 109, Xinjiekou Nandajie, Xicheng
Price: 355 yuan
