Thanko's USB "Bust Beauty Pad" Fights Boob-Chill Epidemic Valiantly

John Mahoney — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 10:20:00 EST

This is without a doubt Thanko's finest USB warming gadget to date.

These kidney-bean pads heat up to 40°C when plugged into USB, effectively taking the problem of cold boobs (man- or otherwise) while websurfing off of our collective minds. THANK YOU THANKO! They're $22: [Thanko via Crunchgear]

Japanese Heart-Shaped Pocket Hand Warmer

Jason Chen — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 18:40:08 EST

These Hokkairos have been very popular in Japan and all over the world (Lam even had one when he was five—his parents made him sleep on a stainless steel bed), acting as a self-contained hand warmer you stick into your pocket in the winter. As you can see in the ~~cool~~ warm video above, you just need to break the coin-shaped container to cause a chemical reaction. It's "semi-permanent," so you can heat up the thing once it's cooled off (probably not in a microwave) for use again. It's only $4 each, which is definitely a price not too much to pay to keep our fingers intact when high-fiving Eskimos. [Strapya]

Touchstone Portable Gadget Charger, Hand Warmer...Eh?

Sean Fallon — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 21:00:36 EDT

They say that the best way to develop a great product is to find a need and fill it. Perhaps the design team at DigitalTech didn't look hard enough when they came up with their Touchstone portable gadget charger / hand warmer hybrid. It's not that the two functions of the device aren't useful —it can charge just about anything and my hands could stand to be a little toastier in the winter months —I'm just not sure that these functions make a lot of sense together. Still, if you would prefer a compact charger with some added yet unrelated functionality, you will be happy to know that the Touchstone can provide up to 9 hours of continuous cell phone charging and up to 6 hours of hand warming. Available for around $44. [Product Page via TFTS]

Brando's USB Cup Warmer Comes With Actual Cup

Jason Chen — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 15:50:37 EDT

Leave it to Brando to fill in the hole of USB warming by providing an actual stainless steel camping-like cup to the equation. So not only does this USB cup warmer warm cups, it provides its own cup to warm. Other than that, there's a four-foot USB cable, a lid, and an LED indicator to tell whether it's on or off. It's pretty barebones, and the $16 reflects that. [Brando]

USB Chiller and Warmer

Jason Chen — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 13:25:07 EST

Why settle for just USB chilling or USB warming when you can have two for the price of one? The cooling keeps your drinks down to 11 degrees Celsius (51.8 F) and warms them up to 53 degrees Celcius (127.4 F). Pretty impressive when you compare it to the standalone units.

Not a bad bargain for $24. Just don't accidentally rest your elbow on it. – Jason Chen

Club Seat Warms Your Fat Ass at The Stadium

Gizloco — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 13:58:55 EST

There's this thing called "outside" that people apparently venture out into, but now that it's cold you may find that you need to be warmed in certain places... special places. That's where the Club Seat comes into play. It's designed with sports fans in mind so they can continue to watch the Big Games from the stands without freezing their buns off. The seat will warm your seat (are puns ever funny?) for up to five hours on a single battery charge, just enough time to see that football game play out.

Convenient seat heating will set you back $100, but once February rolls around and you're watching Sheva draw blanks at the Bridge you'll be glad you're as warm as can be. Pretty cool, we just hope it doesn't get too warm and start a fire or something. 'Cause that'd be painful. – Nicholas Deleon

Jura-Capresso Pointless Coffee Cup Warmer

Travis Hudson — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 14:31:37 EST

Really, what the hell is the point of a coffee cup warmer? Isn't coffee supposed to be served warm enough to heat any mug regardless? The Jura-Capresso Coffee Cup Warmer can hold 16 coffee cups or 24 espresso cups. It will warm the cups up to optimal serving temperatures for you prissy assholes who can't have a room temperature mug like the rest of us. The Jura-Capresso warmer retails for the absurd amount of $1,000. I'll take my coffee in a room temperature mug and go spend the $1,000 I saved at a strip club, thank you very much. – Travis Hudson
