Winter Must-Have: A Cool Humidifier

Want a couture humidifier? The Hybrid Ultrasonic ($150, brookstone.com), with its sexy, sculpture-like form, can be proudly displayed instead of hidden away. It comes in white, pink, or a purple hue that’s a dead ringer for Pantone’s color of the year: radiant orchid.

While kids sleep, Oscar the Owl ($46, crane-usa.com) will make sure their nights are comfy. The adorable humidifier/night guardian has an automatic shut-off function, is Energy Star qualified, and is whisper-quiet.

Is there anything the Humio ($100, tribestlife.com ) can’t do? The three-in-one appliance acts as a humidifier, night light, and room fragrance dispenser!

Our travel essentials include a chic-but-cozy travelling outfit, a great book, and this portable humidifier from Satechi ($30, satechi.com). Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, the humidifier just needs a bottle of water and a USB outlet to work its misty magic.

With its sleek shape and clean lines, the Anton humidifier ($140, target.com ) could be found in a modern art gallery. Instead, the Swiss designed humidifier makes an elegant addition to your bedroom.

No electricity? No problem! Go old school with the Mast wooden humidifier ($149, gizmine.com). Crafted from pure Hinoki (Japanese Cypress), it absorbs water into its elegant bends and diffuses it into your room, along with the subtle lemony scent of the timber.
