If you’re looking for an instant way to stay warm whilst out and about this winter, Stacey Solomon’s clever hand warmers are under £20 and are her ‘best discovery of 2025’
We’ve all spent enough time outdoors in the winter to know that cold hands may be one of the worst things to tackle. Obviously a good pair of gloves will help keep them toasty, but they can be a little cumbersome in moments when you need your hands free, or sometimes just don’t provide quite enough warmth to do their job.
However, Stacey Solomon has found the perfect solution, as she hails her Ocoopa Hand Warmers her “best discovery of 2025.” She added: “My sister kept telling me to get handwarmers. I should have listened. What a revelation.”

The ‘revolutionary’ Ocoopa Hand Warmers are ultra affordable at just £19.99, and are fully rechargeable so you can use them time and time again, whether you’re standing pitch-side at your kids football matches or getting some odd jobs done in the garden (like Stacey). They come in four different colours and prints, but Stacey’s floral ones are the only pair priced at under £20 – the other designs are each priced at £22.99.
They have a compact size that fits perfectly in your palms, with a slimline design that means they’re not too bulky or awkward to carry. Their small size also means they’ll fit inside gloves and pockets to keep them warm without holding onto them, and they’ll pop inside your wallet or bag between uses without taking up space.
The Ocoopa Hand Warmers will heat up to 52°C and use intelligent thermal feedback via a built-in smart chip, which senses when they’re touching your skin and adjusts the heat for safety and comfort. You simply charge them up before use, and they’ll gradually heat up once activated with long-lasting warmth that should keep you comfortable most of the day.
For something a little more techy, the LIFESYSTEMS Rechargeable Hand Warmers are £41.49 and have three different heat settings. You’ll get instant warmth for up to nine hours, and you can even use them as a portable power bank to recharge your phone.
If you’re looking to splurge, the Upwell Waterproof Heated Cycle Gloves are £190 at Sealskinz. These might be a bit more than Stacey’s handwarmers, but they have a fully integrated heating system, rechargeable battery, three levels of heat control and a power reserve of six hours – all whilst being made from waterproof goatskin leather treated with signature Aquasealz technology and PrimaLoft Gold insulation.
However, Stacey’s budget-friendly Ocoopa Hand Warmers seem to be doing the job, with shoppers raving about them. One wrote: “Have been using them non stop since buying. Great buy. They last so long!!! Even in the lowest setting, they get quite warm. I work a lot outside with a computer so have been putting them in my gloves and they work perfect, help my fingers type!!! Also whilst walking etc. just holding them for a bit make my whole body warm, super useful tbh for us with cold hands!”
Another said: “Smaller than I thought but that actually makes them better, they fit in my handbag which is small, I can have one in each handbag so I don’t have to think about swapping everything over. They heat up quickly and personally I think level 1 is hot enough and they last longer on level one… really pleased I bought them.”
However some had some complaints about the Ocoopa Hand Warmers , with one adding: “Not sure how others haven’t really mentioned this but only one side gets warm. Which may not be the biggest deal for some, but it feels cold or not very hot to me. I wish both sides got warm.”
Whilst another agreed: “I walk outside every day. Thought these were going to be fantastic. They do not always charge up completely but do get extremely hot. Do not plan to hold them directly on your hands.”
But this wasn’t an issue for many, with one writing: “Really useful on freezing days. Heat up very quickly and you only need the first setting because they do get very hot. Good quality and very pretty design.”
