I could have linked to these individually, but since the holidays are upon us, I thought you might like a great stocking stuffer. This package includes everything you need to keep your hands feeling great. Inside, you’ll find Almond Milk Cream, Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream, & Shea Butter Cream, with gloves! Is it any good? Well, it has a zillion really great reviews!
Most of us are used to using an exfoliating scrub on our faces, or as body scrubs, but hands can often get neglected. Exfoliating off the dead skin not only makes for softer hands but also improves moisture absorption. This scrub moisturizes as it exfoliates, and ingredients include elderberry and raspberry. Reviewers say the smell alone is worth it!

What a great idea – a microwavable hand muff! Made with a soft, plush fabric, it’s not just about style but also about keeping those hands toasty without having to wear those bulky gloves. You know, I can see myself using this while watching one of Matthan’s football games. Plus, it’s kinda like a fashion statement, right? A touch of vintage with modern comfort!
This little gadget might be my new best friend, lol! It’s got heat and compression settings, so you can decide how much intensity you want. It’s rechargeable, so there is no fussing around with cords all the time, making it really handy for a quick hand-relief session. Imagine this, after a long day, you slip your hands in, and it’s like “ahhh”, instant relaxation!
Arthritis is never easy, but the winter months are especially tough. These compression gloves come in a variety of sizes and are two to a pack. Compression gloves help by “pushing” the excess fluid out of the hands. For joint pain, the gloves provide support, compression, and warmth to the joints. A win/win!

My friends who swear by Essential Oils and the like, have been using lavender for years to help with sleep. I’ve always been told to rub it on my feet before bed, so lavender foot lotion makes perfect sense. Lather up and throw on some socks, or wear them throughout the day. Either way, it is sure to moisturize your dry and cracked feet.

Speaking of moisturizing, these sleep socks are chock full of Vitamin E, Olive Oil, and Jojoba Seed Oil. Who doesn’t want to wake up to softer feet?! I like that these are open-toed because while I like sleeping in socks, they can make me hot. I love products that work while I’m sleeping. 🙂 They come in different colors and can be washed and reused.
Cracked heels are the worst! Dr. Scholl’s is a household name when it comes to foot care. This balm allows for hands-free application, so you don’t have to goop up your hands.

Thank you for the hints and products for my dry feet and hands. I’m ordering several of these products now. Have a great day
Cheers to self care and keeping hands and feet cozy and healthy- thanks for the great finds! Merry Christmas Eve!
Really like all of these products.
Love your ring, too!
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
My feet need a lot of help I’ve seen a lot of products that I want to get to help. Also, my feet always are very sweaty and smelly yuck. My hands always get very dry during the winter months that they do need a good lotion I saw a lot that I want to try also, the arthritis gloves 🧤 hoping that they will help with the pains that I have. I always Love ❤️ your Recommendations!!!! Have a Merry Christmas 🎄 and a Happy Healthy New Year.
Enjoy time with your family this Christmas season! That’s what it’s all about.🎄🎄
I love this theme. I need to buy some of these suggestions.
Great ideas for our hands and feet
Merry Christmas to you and yours
So enjoy your posts and all the work that you put into them
My skin also gets very dry in the winter. Thanks for the tips!
Merry Christmas!!!!
Enjoy your family.
We all need to take time and do that.
great post today. Winter does make it more challenging to keep skin hydrated. something to add to your list of great products is, Orange Blossom Honey Hand & Cuticle Salve. It’s helped to keep my cuticles from cracking.
Thanks for the recommendations. The Burt’s Bee would make a great gifts. They have a cuticle cream that I really like. Rechargeable shavers are a must. Used to buy them at Bed Bath and Beyond the last one was from amazon. My husband likes Working Hands cream.
Thanks for this list. I like the hand warmer gadget and the gloves. I use organic castor oil on my feet and hands and eyelids at night. I also mix a few drops with jojoba oil or lotion for the rest of my body. The brand I like is queen of thrones on Amazon. It has to be in a glass bottle. Don’t buy castor oil in a plastic bottle. I probably won’t be reading blogs much the next few days as I will be busy enjoying my family. I hope you have a blessed Christmas.
Thank you, Tania for all the great recommendations. I need to try some of those products. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones!! I appreciate all the hard work you do on the blog.
Looks like a lot of great ideas for those of us with dry skin. Thanks!
I have dry hands also, thank you for the suggestions!
Hi Tania,
Wow! So many great suggestions/products. I would like to add a zero-cost suggestion. I am a young-looking 70 year old. Or, I should say young-looking except for my hands. I teach piano and there’s nothing like seeing the beautiful skin on a 9 year old’s hands in comparison to my own, ha, ha. I have a life-long bad habit of drinking very little water. It finally caught up with me this past spring. I was waking in the middle of the night with “cotton mouth”. I mean zero saliva. My eyes felt dry all the time. The skin on my hands looked dessicated. I felt thirsty frequently for the first time in my life. (I don’t know what has been wrong with my “thirst meter” for decades!) I thought I had perhaps developed diabetes. My doctor did an A1C test on me for the very first time. Whew! No diabetes. My problem, I decided, was the obvious – lack of water. I bought a 60 ounce water jug. I now fill it up every morning and I make a concerted effort to drink all of the water by bedtime. It is absolutely revelatory how much better the skin on my hands looks!! My hands look 20 years younger simply because they are no longer dehydrated from within. In the past, hand cream would help them look a little better, but drinking more has been almost nothing short of a miracle. No hand cream could do what drinking an appropriate amount of water has done for me. I still love a good hand cream, but ladies, please check your water consumption!!
Nice things for winter, merry merry
Thank you for all the great suggestions! The hand scrub and sleep socks are now in my cart! Have a wonderful week with your family! Happy Monday ❤️❤️❤️
The cuticles at the corners of my fingertips crack, split and bleed. My nails are stubs. My go-to treatment is Vaseline and gloves at night. It took some time to get used to this, not to mention some ribbing from my spouse about my “Minnie Mouse” hands, but it seems to help in the morning. Also, I bought electric hand muffs and bags like they have at salons. I slather on some thick cream like Eucerin or Vaseline, put on the bags, slide them into the muffs and watch a great movie. Great for arthritis flares!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Great post here! My hands especially suffer tremendously during the winter months. Merry Christmas to you and your family. You deserve more time off than you’re allowing yourself for the Christmas holiday! Enjoy! 🎄🎄🎄🎄
Yes, busy week for sure!! And my washing machine decided to go kaput lol! That foot massager sure looks welcoming right now, just found a back one for my daughter.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas!
Why does things like that have to happen when we are the busiest???
Those half socks and aquaphor have made my heels so soft.
Thanks for letting everyone know that it works.
I can relate….my skin looks like a snakeskin that is about to shed. Great products. Have a wonderful Christmas with your family.
My skin is like that too. I hate when it gets so dry.
So needed advice on hands and feet care, LOL!
Enjoy your time with loved ones. Wishing you and yours a blessed Christmas.

Thanks for all the great hand and foot care items. This time of the year both are extremely dry and can always use a little TLC.
