10 of the best winter warmers
Beat the winter blues with some warming gadgetry
You’ve heard the forecast. Now time to don the essentials, the not-so-essentials and the downright non-essential…
Heated Gloves
£13, maplin.co.uk
These heated gloves toast your paws to 40 degrees in five minutes – almost too hot to handle, if you ask us.

Red Hot Chilli Jellies
£5, firebox.com
What better way to warm your yap than chomping on jalepeno-flavoured candy? Not suitable for children. Or your friend who thinks chicken satay is spicy.
Midland SubZero Headphones
£35, firebox.com
These lug warmers feed tunes into your ear canals while keeping the biting winds out. Coldplay? Canned Heat? No? Oh, we give up.
Pac-Man Heat-Changing Mug
£5, play.com
Liven up your winter bedtime routine with this heat-changing mug. The hotter the Horlicks, the clearer the Pac-Man figures appear. Who knew bedtime could be so gnarly?
Hot Pants
£6, prezzybox.com
Squeeze these gel-filled hand warming pants to fill your pockets with warmth. Oh, grow up.
MusucBag
£90, urbanjacks.co.uk
This all-in-one sleeping bag suit keeps you snug as you move your bear-like bulk from room to room. The ultimate work-from-home or lazy weekend slobwear.
Beard Head Viking
£20, beardhead.co.uk
This hat-tache combo provides much-needed swelter for the oft overlooked upper lip area. And it’s proper Magnum PI territory, not some sorry Poirot effort.
Double Slanket
£40, doubleslanket.co.uk
Sod the tandem. Get a slanket made for two and you’ll be looking sweet and generating double the heat. There’s a song in that somewhere.
Stripey Ski Socks
£18, patagonia.com
These stripy ski socks are so thick you can walk to the shops in them. Probably. Best to wear shoes anyway – especially if you’re going to hang them over the fireplace for Santa afterwards.
Zippo Hand Warmer
£20, zippo.co.uk
There’s nothing like a roaring fire to keep your mitts warm in winter. This pocket fireplace should keep your tendrils toasty when you’re out and about.
