"I put one each into the toes of my steelies and then put one each into my work gloves and I'm warm and comfortable for hours.
"These heat pads last as long as they say they do.”
Property expert Joshua Houston shared his tips.
1. Curtains
"Windows are a common place for the outside cold to get into your home, this is because of small gaps that can let in air so always close your curtains as soon as it gets dark," he said.
This simple method gives you an extra layer of warmth as it can provide a kind of "insulation" between your window and curtain.
2. Rugs
"Your floor is another area of your home where heat can be lost and can make your home feel chilly," he continued. "You might notice on cold days, that your floor is not nice to walk on due to it freezing your feet.
"Add rugs to areas that don’t already have a carpet, this provides a layer of insulation between your bare floor and the room above."
3. Check your insulation
Check your pipes, loft space, crawlspaces and underneath floorboards.
"Loose-fill insulation is very good for this, and is a more affordable type of insulation, with a big bag being able to be picked up for around £30," Joshua explained.
4. Keep your internal doors closed
"Household members often gather in one room in the evening, and this is usually either the kitchen or living room," Joshua said.
"This means you only have to heat a small area of your home, and closing the doors keeps the heat in and the cold out."
5. Block drafts
Don't forget to check cat flaps, chimneys and letterboxes, as they can let in cold air if they aren't secure.
A third commented: “These are excellent little hand warmers and they keep your hands very cosy for about 10 hours. Would never be without them.”
Whilst someone else expressed: “Proper handy little things these, can't believe they work as good as they do.
“Even better is that they're so cheap you won't begrudge buying another box either, they're worth it.”
At the same time, another user chimed in: “I rely on these as a Raynaud's sufferer. The best product out there, lasts for as long as they say.”
