Spring is just round the corner, chronologically speaking, but the weather has different ideas. The past few weeks have seen us plunged into a winter so dark and so dreary that it makes December's weather seem positively balmy in hindsight.
And the commute to-and-from work (if you've managed to get in at all) can be tough. That's why, when you finally get home, you need to upgrade to slippers you can pop into the microwave.
We'll admit it's a weird concept to put shoes in the microwave, but bear with it, once you've slipped your feet inside it will all make sense.

Gently scented with lavender, the warming sensation instantly soothes and relaxes tense and tired feet - and studies show that having toasty tootsies can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep for longer.
The cosy slippers cost just £19.99 at Prezzybox and the reviews are as warm as your feet will be - and most of them are from men whose wives are thrilled with their gift. Maybe an idea for the Galentine/Valentine/Palentine whose feet are constantly frozen.

One man wrote: "As the husband of a wife who is always cold, I'm pleased to say that, from the moment she put them on, she hasn't once mentioned a chill or draught.
"They make her happy. Thank you."
Another posted: "Bought these for my wife - who always has cold feet! She loved them, and more importantly for me - no more cold feet!"

If dealing with cold feet is your struggle another option is hot water bottle covers that come with a pouch for your feet.
At just £15.80 from Amazon, the heated foot warmer contains a compartment big enough for a 2L hot water bottle as well as a pouch for you to slip your feet into to keep them toasty.
The product description claims that it stays warm for a couple of hours so if you suffer from cold feet in bed this could stay warm enough just to make sure you drift off while being nice and snug.

Customers also seem to be pretty happy with their purchase as the product has plenty of five-star reviews.
One user said: "Super furry material inside and out so lovely to put your feet into even without socks, ideal for when you want to snuggle up on the sofa and don't want to keep fiddling round trying to keep your hot water bottle in place to keep your feet warm."
