Hi!! I just thought I would throw this out there. Since I'm dealing with the cold sensitivity from chemo I thought someone else might be able to use this info. Target has women's glove (sorry guys I wasn't over in that section ... shoulda looked for you too). Anyway, they are only $1.50 for 2 pair. Lots of colors and designs. They aren't heavy duty or anything like that but I like them cause they are thin enough that I can do things like type while wearing them but still keep my fingers warm. I even bought a bunch that I'm going to donate to my infusion center to give out to others. For the price, you can just get rid of them if they don't last long and you can wear a new design or color everyday! Just thought I'd pass it on.

    Depending on your indoor heating, room temperature foods and liquids may still be too cold to consume or drink without a little warming. (as I found out last winter-not much heat in my apartment!!).....steve

    Gloves
    I use the "Ove Glove" found at target in the cooking section. Then they will have a purpose later. They are cut resistant and temperature neutral. I can get something out of the fridge or oven.

    Have Fun! mike

    I already found that out. I use an electric heated mattress pad and leave my heater off at night. Since my dog wears a fur coat to bed she gets too hot if the heater is on. I left a cup of luke warm tea on the nightstand (can't sleep without a beverage on the nightstand as I wake up at night thristy) and lordy lordy ... that cup of tea was actually cold, not even room temp a half hour later.

    No Targets here in Canada
    But we do have lots of mitts, gloves etc. I think they have even brought out the "official Olympics" ones from the winter Olympics to sell at the Bay again.
