You won't need the aid of Sherlock Holmes to gather that temperatures have dropped, calling for thicker knits [1], a taste for soup, and a more enthusiastic attitude to will one's self out of bed [2] on a Monday morning. The upsides to putting away denim cut-offs, however, are the adorable heat-inducing spends you can allow yourself. Take these hug-friendly alpaca and sloth hand warmers, for example. Their enviable cuteness and ultrasoft texture is enough to make you forget about your lack of a tan [3].
Not only do they act as adorable desk mascots, but they bring warmth and relaxation, too — just throw them in the microwave for instant heat. The cotton hand warmers contain a mix of natural buckwheat grains and lavender that are said to also help sooth sore spots. Sold yet? Read on to see them in all their splendour. (Disclaimer: The following images should probably come with a cuteness warning.)
