This capybara hand warmer is a small heat pad shaped like the world's most laid-back rodent. Its body is wrapped in shaggy, velvety brown plush, while the face, ears and paws are embroidered, so it keeps its calm expression whether it is tucked in your jacket pocket or sitting on your desk.

Inside are wheat grains and lavender, both from organic farming. You warm the pad in the microwave and it releases the stored heat slowly afterwards: gentle warmth for cold hands, with no cable, no battery and nothing to click. It is made for anyone whose fingers go cold quickly, from commuters waiting on a platform to pupils and students in a chilly lecture hall, and of course for capybara fans who like having their favourite animal along in plush form.

Wheat grains take up warmth well and give it back evenly, which is why they are a classic filling for grain pillows. Dried lavender is mixed in with them. The wheat and the lavender both come from organic farming.

Warming happens in the microwave. Follow the instructions on the label, heat the pad briefly only, and check the temperature before you take the capybara in your hands or slip it into a pocket. Never leave it unattended while it warms, and never put it in the oven. The pad is tested to CE and to the British standard BS 8433, the standard for microwaveable heat pads.

At about 14 x 3 x 16 cm the hand warmer is small and flat enough for a jacket or coat pocket or for a handbag. At about 160 g you barely notice it while carrying it, yet it feels pleasantly solid when you cup it in both hands. The cover is made of polyester and cotton, the filling of wheat and lavender.

It helps to warm the pad before you head out and drop it straight into your coat pocket, so your hands have something to wrap around while you wait for the bus or the train. At the office or in the library it sits well between both palms once your fingers have gone cold from typing.

As a present it is an easy choice for the cold months: a Secret Santa gift for the team, a small treat during Advent, something for Christmas, a winter birthday or simply a token to bring along. Because it works for young and old alike, you hardly need to guess anyone's taste. Do not use it for babies and do not hand it to small children as a toy.

What is inside the hand warmer? Wheat grains and lavender from organic farming. The cover is made of polyester and cotton.

How does the hand warmer get warm? You heat it in the microwave, following the instructions on the label. It then gives the warmth back slowly.

How big and how heavy is the pad? It measures about 14 x 3 x 16 cm and weighs about 160 g, so it lies flat in a coat pocket.

Can I warm it in the oven? No, it is made for the microwave and is tested to CE and the British standard BS 8433.

Who makes a good recipient for this gift? Capybara fans, commuters, pupils and students, and anyone whose hands get cold quickly.
