Star pocket warmers – set of 8 reusable hand warmers

The walk to school in December, the Sunday winter stroll, waiting at the bus stop – and your fingers go numb despite your gloves. With this set of star-shaped pocket warmers, the solution is right there in your coat pocket: one click of the little metal disc and the star pocket warmer turns lovely and warm in seconds. Made for cold winter days – no batteries needed and reusable up to 500 times.

What changes for you

• No more cold hands when you're out and about – the hand warmer is activated with a simple click and heats up to 50 °C.
• You don't need a socket or batteries – the warmth comes purely from the sodium acetate gel filling.
• You can use the warmth again and again – simply boil each hand warmer briefly to reuse it, up to 500 times.
• Your whole family is covered – with eight pocket warmers in eight colours, everyone can find their favourite star.
• It's easy to make the warmth last longer – gently kneading the star after activating keeps it warm for longer.

Why these pocket warmers make a difference every day

Cold makes every journey feel longer than it is. With a warm star in your coat or trouser pocket, the morning at the bus stop, a break at the Christmas market or half-time on the sidelines feels so much more relaxed. You reach into your pocket, feel the warmth – and winter loses a little of its bite.

Material & finish

Inside is a gel filling of sodium acetate – a substance considered completely harmless and even approved as food additive E262. The transparent outer material with Kawako print lets the eight colours shine and shows you at a glance whether the warmer is activated or ready to use. The pocket warmers are maintenance-free: no refilling, no charging, no spare parts.

How to use the hand warmers

• On the way to school or work: click the star, pop it in your coat pocket – and arrive with warm hands.
• On a winter walk or at the Christmas market: a heat pad in each pocket, and you can enjoy the crisp air rather than dread it.
• On the sidelines or during winter sports: warm your fingers between turns – and you're ready to go again straight away.
• As a small gift or party bag treat: eight colours in the set – everyone picks their own star, and you've got the whole family sorted.
• 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.
• Our tip for days out: If you can't boil the pocket warmers during the day, boil them briefly in the morning just before you leave and use only the residual heat at first, without activating the star. That way you can save the activation for the journey home – and still have cosy warmth in your pocket in the evening.

Good to know about the gel filling

Sodium acetate is approved as food additive E262 and is used as an acidity regulator in many tinned fruits, vegetables, fish and salads, for example. That's exactly why you can happily hand the stars to children and slip them into coat pockets – the filling is completely harmless.

Care & durability

There's not much to do: after use, simply boil the pocket warmer briefly until the filling is liquid and clear again – and it's ready to use once more. This works up to 500 times, with no maintenance or accessories needed.
