FlinQ LED candles
The cosiest thing you can put in a rental flat that doesn't allow real candles. You'll forget to charge them, though.

Five things to try, in order, before you buy anything.
Small things that make winter cycling in the Netherlands less miserable
Wind, drizzle, dark at half past five. A short list from someone who learned the hard way.
Sinterklaas and Secret Santa gifts under €30 that people actually use
No novelty mugs. Just small, useful things from the finds I've looked at so far.
I moved to the Netherlands as a student and quickly learned that small, cheap things make a big difference: the right gloves for cycling in sideways rain, a way to make a tiny room feel cosy, a phone that isn't always full.
Koopje Finds is where I write those things up honestly, including what's annoying about them. I don't get paid to say nice things, and I tell you when I've used something myself and when I've done the research instead.
