Best New Hand Warmers of 2021

As a person with Reynaud’s disease, I frequently try new ways of warming my fingers and toes. The two solutions I’ve tried this year are affordable (and available in pink, among other colors). I detest that they’re made in China instead of the USA but like their effectiveness enough to share them with others with cold fingers.

AmazonBasics Desktop Space Heater
This ceramic 6 x 6 x 3 space heater heats fast and well when aimed at my right hand. With only one button, it’s the easiest space heater to operate. It’s just heavy enough not to tip over and just loud enough to prompt me to turn it off during video calls. It cost me $26 on Amazon in January 2021.

Beskar Hand Warmer
I’ve managed to get this hand warmer to work for 7.5 hours (1 hour on medium and the rest on low) before recharge, which is longer than any electric hand warmer I’ve had. It’s easy to operate and a little larger than many other models. It cost me $25 on Amazon in January 2021.
