My Winter BFF
While many things can help make the stick season more bearable, one Christmas gift of mine has downright become my bestie; and I think you'll love it, too!
Winter is my least favorite season, and it takes pulling out all the stops to make me feel somewhat normal. That's especially in regard to my fingers; thanks to Raynaud's, keeping my digits toasty isn't just a nicety, it's a must. While I've gone through a lot of trial and error to find the warmth, convenience and functionality I seek in a hand warmer, my frugal, tech-savvy hubby found a winner on Amazon that doesn't break the bank — and works big time!
Let's just say, thanks to this Christmas present I was gifted, I've unlocked a whole new level of comfort, that I'm guessing anyone would absolutely adore. Rest assured, I'm not talking about bulky heated gloves that won't fit under your coat sleeve and will squash your wrist mobility — been there, done that.
I'm talking rechargeable hand warmers that look like something out of Rifle Paper Co. (or you can get a solid color, if that's more your speed), are comfortable to hold, and slim enough to easily fit into a glove. Even better, though, unlike disposable hand warmers that require keeping them in a pocket or glove, these babies stay super hot even when walking gloveless with hands exposed to the open air. You don't have to keep them in an enclosed space to keep them toasty.
And they even come with a cinched bag that is easy to throw into a coat pocket or purse. Meet the OCOOPA Magnetic Rechargeable Hand Warmers 2-Pack, just $19.99 at posting.




I cannot recommend them highly enough. One tip: Fully charge them before you use them the first time. When I first tried them Christmas morning, I didn't think they got that hot at all. Boy, was I wrong! I'm so glad I stuck it out and gave them another chance.
If your Valentine suffers from cold hands, these would make a great gift along with something a little more personal.
Stay warm!
