Our Story: Why We Started Velwarm

Velwarm began with a simple frustration: freezing hands at a desk and no good way to fix them. Space heaters were too much, gloves were too clumsy, and heated pads only warmed half the hand. So we built a small, foldable warmer designed for exactly that spot.

We kept running into the same frustration. Space heaters warm a whole room (and are banned in many offices). Heated mouse pads warm only one side of your hand. Gloves make typing and precise mouse work awkward. We wanted something small, tidy, and designed for the exact spot where the cold hits hardest: your hands, at your desk.

That idea became Velwarm: warmth that fits on a desk, folds away when you're done, and looks good enough to leave out.

The Problem: Why Cold Hands at a Desk Are So Common

Desk work keeps your hands still for hours. Add air conditioning, a drafty window, or a cold winter morning, and your fingers cool down quickly. Many people notice stiff fingers, slower typing, and a constant urge to rub their hands together or tuck them into sleeves.

The common fixes each have a trade-off:

• Space heaters heat the whole room, use more power than necessary for one person, and are often not allowed in shared offices.
• Heated mouse pads warm your palm only, so the back of your hand stays cold, and the pad can feel awkward under your wrist.
• Fingerless gloves keep some heat in but reduce precision for typing, clicking, and gaming.
• Hand-held warmers need to be reheated or replaced and occupy a hand.

Velwarm was designed to sit in the gap between these options: personal, targeted, and out of the way of your work.

What We Believe

Warmth should be personal. You shouldn't have to heat a room to warm your hands.

Good design belongs on a desk. Our products come in soft, modern finishes because a desk accessory should be something you enjoy looking at.

Honest claims beat hype. We describe what our products do, show real photos, and tell you what they don't do. A Velwarm warmer will warm your hands; it won't heat your office.

Safety comes first. A heater sits close to you for hours. That is why every Velwarm product is built around protective features, not added on as an afterthought.

Our Flagship Product: The Velwarm Foldable Desk Hand Warmer

The Velwarm Foldable Desk Hand Warmer is an arch-shaped personal heater. You place it on your desk, rest your mousing or typing hand underneath, and warm air flows around it from several directions.

How It Works

1. PTC ceramic heating. The heating element uses PTC (positive temperature coefficient) ceramic plates. PTC ceramic is widely used in small heaters because its heat output is self-regulating as it warms.
2. Fan-driven airflow. A built-in fan circulates warm air through vents on the arch so heat spreads across a wider area than a single hot surface.
3. Open arch design. The wide arch leaves room for your hand to move, so you can type, click, and scroll naturally.
4. Three heat levels. One button cycles through Low, Constant, and High so you can match the warmth to your room and your comfort.

Key Features

• Warms both the palm and the back of your hand
• Rapid PTC ceramic heating
• 3 selectable heat levels
• Wide, obstruction-free arch for typing and mouse use
• Foldable design that drops to 9.5 cm tall for storage
• Detachable stabilizer feet
• 1.5 m power cord
• Three finishes: Almond Rain, Velvet Mist Purple, and Matte Silver

Built-In Safety Features

Velwarm warmers are designed with multiple protective layers:

• Anti-scald grille that helps keep the exterior comfortable to touch
• Flame-retardant ABS shell
• Tip-over protection that cuts power if the unit is knocked past a set angle
• Overheat protection that shuts off power if the temperature gets too high

Tested and Certified. The Velwarm Foldable Desk Hand Warmer (model A99) has been tested by an independent third-party laboratory, Shenzhen NTEK Testing Technology Co., Ltd., and has passed CE EMC (EU Directive 2014/30/EU), UKCA EMC (UK Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016), and FCC Part 15 Subpart B testing, which confirm that it doesn’t cause electromagnetic interference and keeps working normally next to your computer, monitor, and mouse. It has also passed EU RoHS (Directive 2015/863) and UK RoHS testing for restricted substances, including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB and PBDE flame retardants, and four phthalates.
