As someone who's pretty much in a constant state of freezing - no matter how many layers I pile on - I'm always on the lookout for anything that might work against my tragically poor blood circulation.

And in preparation for the plummeting temperatures, I've already invested in an electric blanket and microwaveable teddy bear, But they're both items that never leave the comfort of my home for obvious reasons.

This location is one of the absolute coldest places on the planet:

So, if you, like me, are searching for a more practical product, something that you can take with you when you're out and about, then look no further because online retailer Action Heat has the perfect solution.

Action Heat's battery-operated heated pants come with a heating system that includes three built-in heating panels on the knee, thigh, and backside.

Complete with three temperature settings, the product is now selling at a discounted price of $99.

Reviews of the product are widely positive, with one buyer dubbing it "the best invention ever".

They added: "My husband bought these for me because I have a bad knee that bothers me when I get cold.....the bonus was that it also worked on my lower back!!!! I wear these anytime there is a chill in the air and they keep me warm......LOVE THEM!!"

Another agreed: "These are nice. They last about 4 hours on low. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the heating part is below the knee. And my husband is 6 feet tall. It would be nice if it was a bout 4” higher."

A different customer added: "I really like that you can use any standard portable power USB capable. The focus of heat is concentrated on the knees, which really helps. I have only had them a month, so stay tuned."

It's an indisputable fact that no one likes the idea of leaving their warm, toasty bed in the cold winter mornings and commuting to work. Having said that, drivers may just be in for a treat this winter.

We may be in the last month of the cold season, but with plummeting temperatures expected, it's not too late to get your hands on a heated blanket for your car.

For less than $7, Amazon is selling this cozy travel blanket:

Take a read of the product description:

"This is an ideal and stylish 12 volt electric blanket for your car, truck or SUV in cold days. Stitched from 100% polyester fleece this electric blanket is comfortable, functional and safe and will keep your seat warm when the mercury drops. Keep passengers comfy on long trips with the electric blankets generous size 100x 140cm. Use the electric blanket to wrap yourself up when the temperature drops or be the toast of the tailgate party. Store your electric blanket in the handy plastic storage case."

And if the reviews are anything to go by, customers are generally thrilled with their purchase:

One buyer wrote: "Bought this for my sister who was pregnant at the time and thought it was a good idea in case you got stuck in traffic during the winter seems a reasonable quality and low current role for me she finds it quite useful and has used camping."

Another added: "Warms up nicely, so much so the kids are constantly stealing it from my wife who was the intended recipient. Only reason it sits at 4 stars is the bag/case is flimsy (I didn’t expect anything great it is a budget product) so storage will prove a challenge."

This location is one of the absolute coldest places on the planet. (Avoid if you know what's best for you):

A third wrote: "Purchased for my wife when she's sitting in her car between calls in the cold. Seems to heat fairly quickly and keeps her warm."

If you're looking for a product to keep you warm when you're not in your car, then look no further. Amazon is also selling these battery-operated heated pants with a heating system that includes three built-in heating panels on the knee, thigh, and backside - and all for a discounted price of $99.

Just a month ago, I was still wearing shorts and t-shirts, the sun was shining, and the hot weather felt like it was going to go on forever. Now, it's freezing, it literally won't stop raining, and I can't even remember what summer felt like. Ladies and gentleman, welcome to winter.

The cold weather can often lead to people feeling miserable - both in and out of their own homes. But thankfully, everybody's favorite discount supermarket chain is here to help.

Take a look at Aldi's employee fascinating training video:

Aldi is selling a heated throw to help keep you keep warm as we draw ever closer to the winter months.

The super-soft item will be available to buy in-store and online from for £34.99 on October 24 in either brown or grey. It measures 120cm by 160cm (roughly 3ft 9" x 5ft 2") in size and comes with six adjustable warmth settings.

"Keep warm during the cold winter months with this Easy Home Heated Throw," The budget supermarket writes on its website. "In addition to safety features, like overheat protection and 3-hour, auto-off function, this soft throw blanket has 6 adjustable heat settings to provide the right comfort and warmth. Choose lower settings when using as a throw blanket, and higher settings for preheating your bed before settling in for the night."

If you're interested in the product, you'll be pleased to know that past reviews have been predominantly positive:

"Last year I bought one of these heated throws," one reviewer wrote. "They are amazing so warm for the cold months ahead very low wattage so very cheap to run, they saved us a fortune on the electric last year without the heating on for so long , these are 160 watt so for a 2000 watt heater on for an hour you can have this on for approx 13 hours for the same money, they say easy clean as well, in shops and online from the 7th."

Another reviewer commented on the necessity of such an item for certain sections of society, such as the elderly.

"Also the elderly... with expensive home heating. These sort of things may help them also. Heat themselves while they're watching telly without needing have the heating on as much and saving precious money. Know when I'm stuck having Netflix days due to pain this sort of thing would be amazing! Sadly though because chronic illness. I can't afford to buy one at this time. When they have come out I've always been skint! One day!"

The heated throw will be available to buy on October 24.

As we delve deeper into November and even deeper still into winter, I'm sure the one thing we can all agree on is that work sucks a lot more than it did in summer.

Gone are the alfresco lunches and beer garden drinks after work. Now it's time to wrap up warm, commute through the rain and snow, and struggle to make it through the day as you patiently wait for the office heating to eventually kick in.

And it doesn't matter how many jumpers you wear, as it really is impossible to work at your computer with gloves on (believe me, I've tried it). But thanks to an Amazon store by the name of Black Temptation, your fingers are now saved.

Introducing the USB Heated Mouse Pad Mouse Hand Warmer with Wristguard Warm Winter (be sure to hit those keywords).

Retailing at £16.66 ($21.40 US) the USB Warmer Mouse Pad is equipped with a built-in warmer pad that can help "warm your freezing cold hand while you are at work". The pad heats up when you plug the device into your laptop/computer via the USB cable.

The snug design will also help keep your hands warm as you work away, and it comes in an array of colors; lavender, white, dark green, beige, coffee, and magenta pink.

One five-star user review reads: "Brilliant product. My hand was toastie warm without having to use the heat pad. Sitting under an air-con vent the cold air blows continually down on my hand. Using the USB heated mouse mat has solved my freezing hand problem. Thankyou"

Another happy customer types: "I have a mild form of Raynaud's and no matter what I do, once I get working at my computer my mouse hand turns to ice in minutes. But no more - this thing works."

And Black Temptation is currently running a promotion on the Heated Mouse Pads, offering 10% off when you purchase two (so there really is no excuse for your office manager not to treat you). 

It's now official: summer has been and gone for another year.

Personally, I'm still dreaming of the long days and warm nights, drifting around on a pool float while simultaneously reading a book, drinking a cocktail and applying sun cream.

At the time, the biggest inconvenience was the hourly readjustment of your towel on the lounger.

Life literally was a beach, but now those days are gone.

Instead, the cold winter nights are already drawing in, the wind is chilly and the rain incessant.

If you, like me, are the sort of person who spends the winter months in varying states of cold, then listen up, because I've got news of a veritable life-saver of a product you might want to consider this season.

That's right folks, there's an electric heated warmer available on Amazon right now, and it sounds akin to slipping your feet - or hands - into a perfectly cozy, mini warm duvet.

22 inches wide and 21 inches deep, the Proaller warmer is compatible with an array of shoe sizes, and it even has an automatic 2-hour shut-off feature to prevent things from getting overheated.

And at prices from around $26.99 on Amazon, it's a veritable steal. Concerned about how comfy the heater is? Allow this description of the product to assuage any concerns;

"Both sides are constructed from luxurious ultra plush flannel that is exceptionally durable and warm; the inside soft plush adds extraordinary comfort to your skin. Only the bottom with heating wires ( for safety concern ) but the soft the thick flannel cover will keep heat inside the pad and make you warmer."

There are three heat settings, so you can adjust things to be just right for your own personal preference.

If you want relief from incessant cold this winter, this warmer may just be the one for you, and with 4.3 out of 5 stars at present time, it seems people are enjoying the added warmth in their lives!
