FOR anybody who really feels the cold, winter can be a difficult time, even more so for those with arthritis or Raynaud’s.
These heated mitts from Target should soothe your freezing hands though.
This cool heated gadget from Target will keep your hands hot in winter[/caption]They cost $36.99, giving you heat at your fingertips – literally.
Simply pop them on for long-lasting warmth to ease the pain of osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel, Dupuytren’s contracture and Raynaud’s Syndrome.
They’re also good for stiff joints and for soothing aching fingers that hurt more in the cold.
To activate the heat, simply pop the mitts in the microwave.
After just a couple of minutes in there, they’re warm and ready to wear.
Available in two colors – mauve and charcoal – the mitts are incredibly soft to the touch, with an almost faux fur feel.
Inside, they’re filled with a mixture of herbs, including soothing lavender, hops and chamomile, invigorating spearmint and peppermint, white willow, rosemary and lemongrass, among others.
As well as providing deep heat to relieve muscle pain, the aromatic ingredients have a calming effect.
So they’re also good for helping relaxation, while relieving tension and stress.
SUPER IN SUMMER, TOO
No need to put these away in a drawer after winter, as they can also be used during hotter weather to cool your hands.
Activating the cold therapy is simple: just seal them in a plastic bag and place it in the freezer.
You’ll need to leave them in there for one to two hours to chill down enough, but then they’re ready to use.
The minky fabric is gentle on your hands and fingers, without the harshness of an ice pack.
The softness protects and soothes your skin while the cold helps alleviate pain and could reduce swelling in sore joints.

WHAT ELSE IS HOT AT TARGET?
Shoppers are wild for a bargain body lotion that’s a dupe for a high-end designer fragrance brand.
The Eos Sparkling Amber Body Lotion smells just like Baccarat Rouge 540 from Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris, according to one fan on social media.
Shopper Kimberly [@kimnuzzolo] took to TikTok to alert others to her fab find.
“They have all of them here – they have the Whipped Shea and Sugar, this is brown sugar and creme brulee, and they only have one Sparkling Amber left, this is probably the most popular one,” she wrote.
Later adding: “Ok, I know why, this one smells like Baccarat, that’s probably why.”
The Eos version on sale at Target will cost you just $8.99, compared to $85 for the real deal.
