Years ago, when we owned a business, there was a product available from an electronic parts wholesaler called Staticide that came in a spray bottle. Worked better than a humidifier (which wasn't practical for our business), or Static Guard. Hope you can find it!

3M also makes a product called Static Guard that you might try. It has worked for me on a variety of materials from clothing to carpets. Or using a humidifier might help. I would avoid putting one on your furnace though, as after the first year the maintenance cost can become a burden.
For a short term solution when the static is especially bad, using tap water sprayed on the interior materials such as the carpet, curtains and fabric covered furniture. Just a light mist a few times a day should help.

You need more moisture in the air of your house. Especially during the winter months, the air becomes much drier. A healthy humidity level is more then 40%. A humidifier would help greatly.

You need a humidifier. If you don't have one, boil lots of water and run the shower on hot with the door open. That will help temporarily.

cocanutt is correct. get a hygrometer while your at it to measure the humidity in the house. I bet it's below 50.
