We all know someone who always complains about how cold it is. Maybe you are that person.
Then allow me to make your fall and winter a little more enjoyable. I’ve been buying these cute electric hand warmers as Christmas gifts for years. They’re basically the perfect stocking stuffer. Even at full price, they cost less than $30. I first bought the Orastone Electric Hand Warmer for my long-time partner, who struggles with always-being-cold syndrome, a very serious and under-studied medical phenomenon.
She loved it, using it every day for several winters before its battery finally gave out. Ever since, I’ve been buying them for friends, family, and under-$25 White Elephant gift exchanges, and they’re always a hit. Most electric hand warmers work just fine, but are pretty ugly. The Orastone is the rare hand warmer that’s actually cute, and it comes with a lanyard you can wrap around your glove-covered hands.

While it comes in a few different styles, this geometric-print version is on sale at Amazon for just $17.99, down from its regular retail price of $29.99. (Per Camelcamelcamel, its typical price is usually $23.99, so this is a genuine discount.)
There’s not much else to say about this one. It’s cute, it’s warm, and it works. Oh — and it also has a flashlight, FWIW. In my experience, you’ll get at least two winters’ worth of warm and toasty hands out of this little gadget, and that’s a fair deal for the price.
