Comments about Happy Mitts:
I had a sudden onset of arthritis in my right hand as the result of major trauma to that hand. The moist heat from these mitts was such a godsend. Even my hand therapist said they were good for easing the pain of arthritis. It takes 48 seconds in the microwave and they give calming relief for at least 20 minutes or so. I found the fragrance to be mild and just right. The mitts machine-wash nicely without shrinkage. I have ordered several pairs for friends who are thrilled to discover them - highly recommend and you can't beat the price!
Comments about Happy Mitts:
I ALWAYS have cold hands, sometimes so cold that they hurt. With these I was immediately SO comfortable. It would have helped if the instructions told you that the warm insert went on TOP of your hand--(but I did figure that out). The separate thumb permits you to pick things up or turn pages without taking them off. My only negative was the strong lavendar odor the first time I wore them. By the second time it was pleasantly faint. I would definitely buy them again! Thank you Gardeners' Supply!
Comments about Happy Mitts:
Bought them for mom and she loves them. She uses them after gardening and when her hands really hurt.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
These little mittens are great for cold and achy hands.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
At night, I settle in my chair, turn on my favorite tv shows, and warm up my Happy Mitts. They keep my hands flexible and are surprisingly relaxing.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
My fingers get cold easliy so I use the mitts to warm them and they have the added benefit of a mild fragrance.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
Have Fibromyalgia that causes constant pain. Some days my hands ache and I cannot find relief. Saw the Happy Mitts and thought 'what do I have to loose?' Was surprised when I used them and actually felt some easing in the muscles. My only 'complaint' is that they only warm one side and not both. Would be better if one could slide sore hands into an all encompassing wrap. Ordering another set for my aunt.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
Having my hands exposed and cold to read the newspaper has always been unpleasant until now. The mild difficulty of turning pages is far outweighed by the comfort provided by these mitts. Great for my arthritic fingers!
Comments about Happy Mitts:
I actually bought the "Happy Mitts" this winter to use after almost daily snow shoveling here in Connecticut. My hands were not only "achy" but had become chapped, cracked and red--not matter how many gloves or mittens I wore when shoveling.
The warmth they provided felt wonderful, after being out in the freezing cold. They also helped moisturize my hands and the lavender aroma was very relaxing to the spirit, as well.
I also plan to use them this summer, after gardening.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
a spice scent would be nice
Comments about Happy Mitts:
Whether on hands or knees or anywhere else you need a bit of heat, these fit the bill.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
I bought a pair for me and one for my Mom. She gardens a lot and they will be great this summer. I use them now just to keep my hands warm from working outside with the dogs.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
Warms fingers/fingertips after working with cold metal. Reduces pain and warms cold fingers from the effects of RA.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
When my hands are really sore I heat them to contact the dorsum and then re-heat for the Palmer surface of my hands.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
I pop these in the microwave when my hands ache from arthritis. Their warmth brings relief, and the pleasant scent enhances the experience.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
Helped with pain, but no miracle!
Comments about Happy Mitts:
The first time I used these mitts, I almost burned myself. I put it in the microwave for the recommended amount of time and when I put my hand in, I felt like I had touched a hot iron. After they cooled for a while, I tried again and they did feel wonderful and eased the arthritis in my hands. The smell was a little strong to before they cooled down but it was not so bad after the cool down. Wish I had something like this for my knees!
Comments about Happy Mitts:
Great for a soothing moist heat to ease the pain of arthritis or a long day's work in the garden. They make excellent gifts.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
These easy to use hand warmers and just the ticket to ease arthritis pain or tired hands from a long day's work in the garden. The lavender is so pleasant and they make great gifts for friends and loved ones.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
It is easy to heat up, it smells wonderful, and is soothing to my hands and brain.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
The Happy Mitts are just great. I have arthritis in mostly my thumbs and that was the only disappointment....there is no heat in the thumbs. However. I can tuck my thumbs into the main part of the warm mitten. It's heavenly. I warm them up and use them at night when I can't get to sleep due to aching hands/thumbs. They smell great and I think lavendar is supposed to aid with sleep also.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
In the winter months, I sometimes wake up with my hands aching due to arthritis in my joints. I slip my achy hands in my Happy Mitts and soon I have Happy Hands! It would be nice if the opening into the mitt was just a tad bit larger around. It would also be nice if you could slip your hands between two layers of heat! But the one layer does the trick! I love my Happy Mitts! I even bought extra pairs to give as gifts!
Comments about Happy Mitts:
My husband has RA in his hands and these warm mitts seem to help them with the warm moist feeling.
Anything to keep the hubby happy:-)
Comments about Happy Mitts:
My hands are always so cold and these mitts are perfect. I warm the inserts in the microwave and wear the mitts while watching TV.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
Whenever my hands ache from gardening all day or just ache in general I put on lotion and slip on the heated mitts and relax. It really helps relieve the stiffness and pain.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
I have arthritis in my thumbs & this feels great, and only takes minutes before my hands are surrounded by soothing warmth (unlike my parrafin wax heater which takes hours to melt the wax!).
Comments about Happy Mitts:
Whether it is from typing or yard work, I can always get relief for my tired, aching hands with Happy Mitts. You just pop them in the microwave for a little over 1 minute and then slip them on your hands. The warmth is incredibly soothing and the fragrance is an added bonus. My hands are happy when I use my Happy Mitts.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
warm elderly hands
Comments about Happy Mitts:
Purchased for my elderly mother who is easily chilled. I warm them in the microwave and she will wear them for hours. The skin on her hands looks softer too. I've seen her put them on without warming as well.
I'd buy a pair for myself but mittens don't provide enough dexterity.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
When my arthritis in my hands are hurting the warm Happy Mitts are so smoothing and relax me.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
My mother-in-law has arthritis in her hands and this was the perfect gift for her. It relieved the pain in her hands so well that she tried holding her mittened hands to her hips for relief. This prompted me to purchase your Tension Relief Wrap for her to place on the hip area. Success there too.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
Portable..I even use it during my break at work.
It eases my pain and the scent is calming for all my co-workers!!
I'd recommend it to my friends, but I already bought each of them their own pair!
Comments about Happy Mitts:
great gift idea for any lavender lover
Comments about Happy Mitts:
I suffer from Raynauds and these sre just the ticket for keeping my hands warm outside and they're even great for warming your hands in the evening. Now to find something like this for my feet and I'm all set!
Comments about Happy Mitts:
They have a nice fragrance and are easy to slip on. They are big and you cannot do anything with your hands when you have them on. Even reading a book can be a difficult, but if you want to sit and relax, these do the trick. I bought these as a gift for my mother, who has arthritis. She was impressed with how soothing they were and easy to use. My dad has started using them for his aching hands, too.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
I enjoyed enough to buy as a gift

Comments about Happy Mitts:
Really helps ease sore fingers.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
I bought these for my mother who is always cold. She is able to warm them up easily and stay warm wearing them in the house when relaxing.

Comments about Happy Mitts:
I bought these for my mother-in-law who suffers from severe arthritis. She is not able to get the pouches out by herself, and it is difficult to get the mitts over her fingers and onto her hands. I think these could really provide her a some relief if she could just use them. It would be nice to see the openings for the hands made larger.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
[...] it was for a agift would not do it for myself. I love the catalog and items [...]
Comments about Happy Mitts:
I gave these mitts as gifts to 3 friends (and myself) who all immediately put them on. We soothed our hands as we shared our friendship. We all loved the mitts and tried them on our necks, faces, and backs. It was difficult to hold the wine glasses, but we managed. We felt like it was a day at the spa!
Comments about Happy Mitts:
Happy Mitts are great for relaxing old, arthritic hands that have spent too much time working with a trowel.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
I gave this as a gift to my 98 year old grandma and she LOVES them.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
Gave to my sister for Christmas-She works in a grocery store and she wears at home when she goes to bed and just love how they feel and smell while she sleeps.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
i bought this for myself. i have arthritis and after gardening, my hands are very sore. i haven't used this yet but i have high hopes for it.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
This is the second year I've given these as Christmas gifts. Last year's lucky recipient is a beautician with arthritis in her hands, and uses these all winter long.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
I was skeptical about these mitts but now I am overjoyed with this purchase.
My favorite time of the day is now the evening including a hot bath, clean pj's and the heated mitts. I sit back in my recliner with legs up and the warm mitts on my hands, close my eyes and I am in heaven. The clean scent and warmth takes me where ever I want to go. They are more than just relaxing and therapeutic, they are life changing. I have always had trouble sleeping. This new ritual of mine has helped me relax and sleep. I feel 100% better because of the increase of sleep time.
Thank you for this wonderful product

Comments about Happy Mitts:
Was looking for a product like this and liked that it had lavendar fragrance. But material is cheap and overall cut is too small. Also filler tended to stay bunched up and did not cover enough of my hand. Returned product.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
Bought them for my mom after I received them as a gift. She has osteoarthitis and has been enjoying great relief from stiff , cold hands since I gave them to her a week ago.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
I have arthritis pretty bad in both hands, yet I refuse to give up my favorite activities. So after working on something like crafts or gardening, I put these on and in a matter of minutes, the pain is nearly gone and I feel ready to go again.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
This is my second pair of Happy Mitts, and I like them as much now as I did when I bought them before. I bought them for relief from Renauds Syndrome, but they also provide a side benefit for the arthritic joints in my thumbs. I often sit and watch TV with them on in cold weather because they are so comfortable. The lavender fragrance is very pleasant as well. If you follow directions and don't use high power to heat them up, they will last a long, long time. I used my first pair for about four or five years before they began to show signs of wear. An excellent product for my specific need!
Comments about Happy Mitts:
I have arthritis in my hands and it helps soothe the pain.
Comments about Happy Mitts:
I have had surgery on my hands five times for tendon problems and carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. This product eases stiffness and reduces pain, making it much easier to move my fingers. My only regret is that I waited so long to buy it!
