You’ve probably heard the discouraging sentiment that most New Year’s resolutions fail.
At The Filter US, we’re on a mission to disprove this notion, sharing the best products for hitting your goals – including reducing screen time, starting a fitness routine, and traveling somewhere new.
And your favorite purchases of the month signal that you’re on track to hit your New Year’s intentions. Below are 12 of the products you all purchased most in January, according to the aggregate anonymized data we have access to, including a game-changing piece of equipment for sneaking in an ab workout and a phone-free activity perfect for staying offline.
Saint Viviana Non-Alcoholic Sauvignon Blanc
Bedsure Gentlesoft Bubble Faux Fur Blanket

In January, you adored this this affordable dupe of the buzzy Lola blanket. Tested and recommended by Filter US contributor Jon Chan, it’s “just as soft and warm, while costing less than half”. (The Lola blanket costs $275.)
Anker Nano 45 W battery with smart display

Collectively, one of your worst fears must be a dead phone, and I don’t blame you. Among the five gadgets tech journalist Prakar Khanna test-drived at the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show, this portable charger was your favorite. Anker’s small but mighty charger is “enough to bring an iPhone 17 from zero to 50% battery in 20 minutes”, and features a high-tech display.
SPRI flat resistance bands
Winter glove combo

You’ve all leaned into the Gorpcore aesthetic this past month, making this glove combo – sold at military surplus reseller McGuire Army Navy and Home Depot – your favorite winter weather staple of January.
Recommended by Filter US editor Nick Mokey, this combo allows you to complete your to-do list without the restrictions of a bulkier pair of gloves. Mokey uses his duo for biking, driving, and even “thumbing open dog-poop bags on soggy predawn dog walks”.
Bero non-alcoholic beer variety pack
Kent 16T Tortoise Fine Tooth and Wide Tooth Comb

Was a new haircare routine at the top of your 2026 to-do list? Of all of the products we shared throughout January, the Kent comb was your most shopped. This “durable British classic” came recommended by Filter US contributor Josh Patterson, who found his hair “felt smoother and less pulled” after swapping his cheaper comb for this plastic-free fan-favorite made from cellulose acetate – the same plant-derived material many glasses frames are made from.
Handy Laundry dryer balls

Does your dryer leave your sweaters staticky and your socks stiff? Luckily, Dryer balls are an affordable solution. Many of you must have some pretty lousy dryers (myself included) or were ready to get rid of that box of dryer sheets, as this bundle of wool balls was among the top purchases.
CAP Barbell Abdominal Wheel
Amazon Essentials 4-piece packing cubes

Many of you must have big travel plans for 2026. But when it came to travel gear, you were all about affordability. Of the 26 packing cubes tested by Filter US contributor Les Chu, this budget-friendly set was your favorite: “If cheap and no-frills are what you’re after, this four-piece set does the job.”
