I don’t want to believe it, but winter is coming. As temperatures drop, one of the best ways to keep colds at bay and your home comfortable is to invest in a humidifier. You don’t even have to spring for an expensive one—I bought a $40 humidifier for my bedroom last winter, and it was one of the best decisions I made. I got sick less, had fewer sore throats, and my skin didn’t feel as dry (especially my lips).
Vornado
VFan Vintage Air Circulator
We love the sleek, old-school look of this desktop fan. This series is a rerelease of Vornado’s original 1945 classic, in authentically retro colors like off-white and green. It also has just three settings like the OG model: on, off, and high or low speeds.
Jisulife
Portable Neck Fan
When it’s hot, nothing helps like a portable neck fan. This one has five speeds, a comfortable fit, and is available in a bunch of stylish colors.

It has eco mode for longer battery life, A mode, which samples air every three minutes, and real-time mode, which samples air every 1.5 seconds for the most accurate air quality readings.
