Snoopy and Woodstock Heart Handwarmer

Give the heart a quick snap with your fingers and the warmth is released. From there it goes into your hand or into a coat pocket as a pocket warmer, wherever the cold reaches you first.

Once the warmth is used up, put the heart in a pan of boiling water for about 5 minutes and it is ready to be snapped again. That alternation of snapping and reheating is exactly what it is built for, so this is not a one-use warmer.

The heart measures 8.5 × 10 × 1 cm, roughly the size of a palm, and at 57 g you barely notice it in a pocket. Its 1 cm profile means it also disappears into a tight jacket pocket. It is made of PVC and shows Snoopy and Woodstock in a hug.

Peanuts and Snoopy fans will go for the motif, everyone else for the warmth. The heart is made for cold hands in winter: on the way to work, on a station platform, on a walk or in the stands at a match.

As a gift it is small and still personal - a lovely present for Peanuts fans or someone special, whether for Valentine's Day, for Christmas, for a Secret Santa swap or as a thank you for someone who makes your winter easier.

Snap the heart just before you head out, so the warmth happens outdoors rather than in your living room. Kept in an outer jacket pocket it sits right against your fingers, while an inner pocket keeps it closer to you. If you usually walk with both hands in your pockets, take two hearts along, one per side. As a present it works well next to gloves, socks or a mug of cocoa, and for Valentine's Day the shape already does most of the talking.

How do I activate the handwarmer? Give the heart a quick snap with your fingers. That releases the warmth.

Can I use the heart more than once? Yes, it is reusable. Put it in a pan of boiling water for about 5 minutes and it is ready again.
