Reusable hand warmers, boil to reset – set of 8, oval

The walk to school in December, waiting at the bus stop, a long winter walk, and your fingers go numb despite your gloves. With this set of 8 hand warmers, you always have warmth with you. Just click the little metal disc and the oval pad turns lovely and warm in your coat or trouser pocket, as if made for cold days. Once the heat has been used up, simply boil the hand warmer briefly and it's ready to go again.

What changes for you

• You get warm hands instantly when you're out and about, because each pad is activated with a single click and heats up to 50 °C, with no batteries or electricity at all.
• No need to keep buying more, as each hand warmer can be reused up to 500 times simply by boiling it briefly.
• You can kit out the whole family, because the set contains eight pads in eight different colours, so everyone can spot their own at a glance.
• You can easily make the warmth last longer by gently kneading the activated pad every now and then.
• Nothing bulky to carry around: at approx. 115 x 65 mm, each pad fits into any coat or trouser pocket.

Why these hand warmers make a difference every day

Cold hands can quickly turn the loveliest winter's day into a miserable affair. With a heat pad in your pocket, you can head out more relaxed, whether to the bus, the weekly market, a football match or sledging with the kids. Instead of pulling your fingers into your sleeves, you simply reach into your pocket and hold the warmth in your hand. It's a small difference you'll notice again every cold morning.

Material & finish

Inside the pads is a gel filling made of sodium acetate, a harmless substance that is even approved as food additive E262. The casing is transparent, so the bright colour of the gel shines through, and each pad carries the Kawako print. The heat is activated by a small metal disc inside: one click and the filling releases warmth quickly and for a long time. The hand warmers are completely maintenance-free, with nothing to fill, nothing to charge and nothing to replace.

How to use the hand warmers

• On the way to school or work: click the pad, pop it in your coat pocket, and you'll arrive with warm hands instead of numb fingers.
• On a winter walk or at the Christmas market: a heat pad in each pocket turns your time outdoors from frosty to cosy.
• On the touchline or at the stadium: while everyone else is freezing, you're holding your own little heat pad.
• At work: for staff on market stalls, doing deliveries or working outdoors, the pads are a simple way to beat cold hands, with no electricity, no fuss and eight in a set.
• Our tip before first use: Boil the hand warmers once before using them for the first time. That way you'll get the full heating time right from the start.
• Another hot tip for when you're out: If you can't boil the hand warmers during the day, boil them briefly in the morning just before you leave and use only the residual heat at first, without clicking the disc. That way you can activate the pads on your way home and enjoy the warmth a second time.

Good to know about sodium acetate

Sodium acetate is approved as food additive E262 and is used, for example, as an acidity regulator in many tinned fruits, vegetables, fish and salads. That's exactly why these heat pads are also suitable for everyday family life: the filling is harmless and the heat is produced purely physically, without electricity, batteries or an open flame.

Care & durability

There's not much for you to do: once the heat is used up, simply place the hand warmer in boiling water for a short time until the gel is liquid and clear again. It's then ready to use once more, up to 500 times. There's nothing to refill and nothing to maintain, so the pads will keep you company for many winters to come.
