Whether you're watching the new season of Empire or binge-watching old episodes of The Office (John Krasinski will always have my heart), these are the products from Amazon that will make your TV-watching session that much better. Welcome to your fall Friday night plans.

While I personally would change wine to beer, I still 10/10 support the message behind this adorable pair of socks. People who have purchased them enjoy that they're soft and comfortable. Not only that, but the writing on the bottom is actually printed in non-slip ink so you won't fall on your way back to the fridge for a refill—although that may be more due to the wine than the socks at that point.
