Hand-warmers

Folks who work on a computer at home, and also suffer from cold hands, can find keeping their digits toasty during winter months an expensive problem. Danish startup Varme has sought to address such issues with a power-sipping desktop hand warmer.

Sanyo has launched the egg-shaped eneloop kairo hand-warmers in time for winter. The single-sided and double-sided models fit easily into a handbag or pocket and have rechargeable batteries and make gloves almost obsolete.
