I’m thinking of gifting myself a Nintendo Switch and getting my Sister a Kindle.

    Being able to put the heating on for the days of Christmas would be nice. It is very cold.

      I feel you. This is the second winter we’ve only been able to heat one room to at least 18C, and that’s not warm enough for my disabled ass. My electric throw blanket is on 24/7 though and is incredibly efficient - it costs less than 25p a day. I would highly recommend one if you can manage the upfront cost. Also wrist warmers are highly underrated imo - cheap, you can knit/crochet them yourself, your fingers are still free for touch screens and they seem to keep me warmer than just a hat alone. Wishing you more comfortable times ahead, friend.

      Reusable hand warmers might be practical for you. They stay warm for hours through a chemical reaction, and you reset it by boiling it.

      Not the same as a whole body warm, but better than nothing. Sorry you’re having to deal with the cold.
