Heart hand warmers – set of 8, multicolour, reusable

A winter walk is lovely; the school run, less so – by the time you reach the bus stop, cold fingers are creeping into coat pockets. With these heart-shaped pocket warmers, you've already got the answer with you: one click, and the little heat pad turns cosy and warm in seconds – just made for frosty mornings. The set of 8 in eight colours means everyone in the family can find their own heart hand warmer.

What changes for you

• No more cold hands on the way to work or school – one click of the metal disc and the hand warmer instantly gives off heat of up to 50 °C.
• You need neither a plug socket nor batteries – the sodium acetate gel filling produces the warmth all by itself.
• You can make the warmth last longer yourself – gently kneading the pad after activating it keeps it warm for longer.
• You can use each heart again and again – after a quick boil it's ready to go once more, up to 500 times.
• There's the right colour for everyone – eight different shades from yellow through red to purple make sharing them out easy.

Why these pocket warmers make a difference every day

A heart-shaped pocket warmer is one of those little companions you only truly appreciate once it's in your hand: the warmth comes exactly when you need it, with no preparation and no gadgets. Instead of heading out with stiff, cold fingers, you simply reach into your coat pocket – and the rest of the journey instantly feels friendlier. And because the hearts are reusable, they'll keep you company through many winters.

Material & finish

Inside is a harmless gel filling made with sodium acetate – a substance that is even approved as food additive E262 and is found, for example, as an acidity regulator in many tinned fruits, vegetables, fish and salads. The transparent outer casing with Kawako print lets the colour shine through and gives you a lovely view of the gel crystallising when you activate it. What's more, this pocket heater is completely maintenance-free: no refilling, no replacing, no power source needed.

How to use the hand warmers

• On the school run in winter: a heart in each coat pocket – and your child arrives with warm hands instead of numb fingers.
• On a winter walk or at the side of the pitch: click, knead, warm up – and you'll last longer, even when the wind turns colder.
• As a little treat: a heart-shaped pocket warmer in someone's favourite colour makes a thoughtful small gift for St Nicholas' Day, for an Advent calendar or simply just because.
• For the market stall or food van in winter: your team can warm their hands between customers – with no power needed at the stall.
• Our tip before first use: Boil the pocket warmers once before using them for the first time. That way you get the maximum warming time right from the start.
• Another hot tip: If you can't boil them during the day, boil the hearts briefly in the morning just before you head out and use only the residual heat at first, without activating them. Then you can activate the pocket warmer on your way home and enjoy the warmth a second time.

Good to know about the heart as a pocket warmer

For centuries, the heart has stood for affection and warmth – so there's hardly a better symbol for a pocket-sized source of heat. That's exactly why the hearts are perfect not just for your own use, but also as a small gift for people you'd like to send off with a little warmth – quite literally – in winter.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: after use, simply boil the pocket warmer briefly until the gel is clear again – and it's ready for next time. This works up to 500 times, with no maintenance, batteries or accessories.

Options & what's included

• Contents: 8 heart-shaped pocket warmers

Frequently asked questions

How do I activate the pocket warmer? Simply click the small metal disc inside – the gel crystallises and gives off heat straight away. Gently kneading it afterwards makes the warmth last longer.

How do I get the heat pad ready to use again? A short boil turns the gel liquid again and the pocket warmer can be used once more – up to 500 times.

Is the filling dangerous? No. The gel filling consists of sodium acetate, which is approved as food additive E262 and is found, for example, as an acidity regulator in many tinned foods.

Do I need batteries or power? No, the hand warmer works entirely without a power source – it only needs a short boil in hot water to recharge.

How warm does the pocket warmer get? It heats up to 50 °C and stays warm for a long time – kneading extends the warm phase even further.

In the end, it's not about a gel-filled heat pad. It's about that moment when you reach into your pocket on a sub-zero day and a little warm heart is waiting for you. Just choose your set of 8 at Bütic – and the next winter's day will feel that little bit friendlier.
