7 Ways To Combat A Ridiculously Cold Office
What is it with offices? Freezing in summer ... and somehow still freezing in winter? It's basically just a single season when you're working the nine-to-five. Here are some ways to make your cubicle just a little bit more comfortable:
1. Viva Scandinavia Minima Balance Tea Cup, $22

A ceramic cap helps hot drinks stay warm for longer. Just make sure you clearly label this so Janet doesn't steal your mug AGAIN.
2. Ikea Varkrage Blanket, $4.99
Ikea
Yeah, a blanket is an obvious way to keep warm at the office. Our advice: Don't spend major bank on one because you'll probably just spill your sad desk lunch all over it. This Ikea offering is less than $5, plus if you drape it in just the right way, you could kind of pull this off as a cloak and no one would be the wiser.
3. Stadler Form Fan Heater, $120

Ember

6. Upstate Stock Fingerless Gloves, $29
Bespoke Post
Try Upstate Stock's fingerless gloves as a foolproof way to keep at least parts of your hands warm while texting.
7. Pippettes Dispensary Warming Balm, $17
