My dad is just back from a trip to Norway and he brought me wrist warmers. Now, they're very smart looking, hand knit, and comfortable. At first blush, however, it's like, yeah, but why not just wear long sleeves and mittens? I never should have doubted -- Norwegians can always be counted on to know what sort of products are necessary to maintain body heat in the frigid northern winters.
These wrist warmers are amazing. I've had them for 12 hours and now can't imagine how I spent 26 years without them. I know I've heard something about putting an ice pack on the wrist when you are hot can keep one from overheating, but I never realized how important wrists are in the regulation of body temperature. This morning, I put on my wrist warmers and braved the -30 wind chill to get to my car. These little wrist warmers seemed to make my whole body stay warmer as I sat in the cold car waiting for the engine to warm up. Too bad engines don't have wrists.
I'm currently sitting at my computer continuing to wear these brilliant little things. My hands are as toasty as if I had them wrapped around a hot mug of coffee or in a pair of down mittens, yet my fingers and hands are fully usable. Folks, I'm telling you, wrist warmers may be the secret to everlasting happiness. God Bless those innovative Norwegians and their fabulous little secrets to surviving winter.

You know who really invented wrist warmers, don't you? Gnomes.
