Microwave Slippers

While the term ‘popsicle toes’ sounds endearing, the reality is really uncomfortable. And since keeping our feet permanently by the fireplace is not very practical for us moms, we love these Microwave Slippers available in blue or red. Filled with linseeds and made with 20 heat zones per slipper (and an elastic fastener to keep that heat inside), one to four minutes in the microwave gives you two hours of warm feet. Now that’s getting the winter off on the right foot. ($49.99, available at www.microwave-slippers.com)
