Went Xmas shopping yesterday

[conuly]

Because the Christmas fair closes at, well, Christmas, and makes no provisions for those of us who do Little Christmas for, uh, cultural reasons (and mostly financial ones, I must admit).

Went there and got what I came to pick up, which is a trio of mismatched dino socks, and yes I'm aware that I can pick those up online, but that's not the point.

And then I saw these

OMG.

I totally abandoned Evangeline to the mercies of the TV (and my mother, I'm not totally heartless here!) to post about them. (I would've done this last night but I fell asleep at, like, 8!)

They're awesome. Bend the metal thing and they turn all solid! It's the coolest thing you'll ever see. Plus, they keep your hands warm ^.^ (And if ever there was a time for Japanese smilies, now is it.)

I'm definitely picking up a few dozen more $15 per pair price tag be damned. These are the bestest things evah!

Those are very cool. We had some of those when I was 12 or so, and they lasted a long time (3 years of frequent winter time use, before they started leaking or we had one that no matter how much you boiled would not remelt the crystals). I had totally forgotten about them, but I'd recommend them!
