Not quite completely fingerless, but just enough so that you can access your touch screen phone, the Etre Touchy Gloves keep your hands as warm as possible, covering all of your fingers except the thumb and forefinger. Sure, it might be mustache-free, but that’s the price you have to pay.

With only two fingers missing warmth, you might look a little silly, but the utility of not having to remove your gloves, and not being pushed away from wearing gloves in the first place, is so worth it. The winter chill is harsh, but so is not having any access to my iPhone. At least I can save my other three fingers from frostbite.

I don’t know about where you’re from, how could I? But I do know that in these parts, winter means frigid temperatures. Jersey gets the best (and worst) of both worlds. Extreme heat and intense cold.

The heat part is easy, all I have  to do is walk around naked. It’s the chilliness that starts getting tricky. Out come the layers and bye-bye goes the skin. Unfortunately for Grandma, I have a new pattern I’m going to physically force her to knit. These Mario Mushroom Wrist Warmers will keep me and my family’s wrists warm this season, all cozy under our Mario hoodies. Even if my wrists get more activity than they should, they still get frigid in the chilly Jersey winter.

Know what a Benjamin Franklin buys you nowadays? Some incredibly warm rechargeable heated insoles for your shoes and boots. That’s right. You charge up the soles and let a Li-On battery and a PCB do the rest. Really! That’s all. They’ll keep your feet toasty at 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit for up to eight hours. Work in the cold? This is exactly what you need. Too bad they don’t make a version you can shove down your pants for TGW (Total Genital Warmth).

Forget going to the gym to save the environment. If you’ve got the equipment, why not put it to good use by modding an exercise bike to chill and heat stuff simultaneously for your own benefit? This guy did it and now look at him, he’s shredding pounds and chilling beers.

That’s right, the integrated pair of copper wires that are connected to the whole pedal assembly can both chill or heat a refreshing beverage. In the morning, both coffee and beer are a great refreshment during routine exercise. So why not drink both simultaneously? It’d be like drinking Sparks without that Robitussin taste in your mouth.

As much as I love cuddling up underneath a big, fluffy, warm (and occasionally USB powered) blanket when a chill fills my gadget-loving bones, the inability to cover my whole body while I play around with my devices deters me from keeping myself warm. Slanket has holes for your arms, which allows you to stay completely cuddled and still play with your gadgets.

Whether you be a gamer with your PSP, or a texter with your iPhone, the Slanket accommodates you with two cleverly placed arm holes for full gadget access. Get yours for $50. — Andrew Dobrow
