Winter is finally here in her full, dry-skinned, cozy-blanketed, white-wonderland glory, and all of Instagram is a-flurry (ha) with excitement.What this cold snap gains for the grid, though, is also what a lot of us might not be thrilled about, and understandably so. High winter marks the peak of cold and flu season, and this year, COVID-19 numbers are also once again back up, with a new variant on the rise to boot and with many masking up again in crowds for extra protection.While we’ve all gone through our share of pandemic panic purchases — from jugs of hand sanitizer to #toiletpapergate — the one thing that’s remained constant, is a good old cold remedy. If there’s one thing we learned in the past few years, preparedness is a game changer — and Sniffles is just the modern solution we need in a pinch.A first-aid kit for colds, the flu, and COVID-19, it includes everything you’ll need when the bug hits, from a diagnostic antigen test to fast-acting daytime/nighttime meds, an inhaler, vitamin C effervescent tablets, a thermometer, lozenges, tissues, herbal teas, a lip balm — even a $20 coupon towards a virtual care visit! Everything is bundled up neatly in a travel-friendly carrying case, making it handy to bring on winter break as well as to your parents’ house, to make sure they’re ready if and when the virus hits home. “This kit is extremely useful to have on hand — especially this winter season when it seems like hundreds of illnesses are spreading around all at once,” confirms our senior editor, Summer Cartwright. “I used this kit to ensure I didn’t have COVID-19 before I traveled, and have gone to it repeatedly for its vitamin C packet, cold meds, and soft pack of tissues. Not to mention it’s super cute and easy to bring when traveling!” she adds.It’s one of the things you hope to never use but will be grateful to have in an emergency. I actually call it peace of mind in a kit, because it streamlines everything I need any time I’m down with the flu (and yes, that includes using an antigen test because, as someone with asthma, it always behooves me to make sure). But one of its niftiest features is the option to talk to a physician and request free COVID-19 medication delivered to you via its accompanying app. It removes the need for that tedious pharmacy trip when the fever hits you in full force. Best of all, the entire kit is under $50 and is also now 10% off on Amazon, making it one of the smartest purchases one can make this winter season. Stay warm and healthy, folks.Shop Sniffles on Amazon
