I use incandescent lights as heaters. They also happen to give off a lot of light. Which, in the winter where the days are short, is good for you. So rather than a light bulb plus a heater, I get a two-fer.
this is a good time to talk about dressing smart.

Sit with a dog or cat next to you or on your lap. Then wrap a blanket around your shoulders, including the pet.
I use my dog when I am asleep at night, I call her a heating pad.

If you want to make a foot warmer, try putting those small lava gravel pieces in a pan in the oven or on the wood stove. When warm, pour the lava-gravel into a flannel pillow case and tie. Snuggle your feet into the fabric cover.

Sand would be super comfy on the toes. Your own personal tropical beach!
Like this, only lower voltage...

I'm not an electrical engineer, so I'll leave that up to the guys with the know-how to chime in on that.

In the above link they recommend using a dog bed heater to heat the surface you are in contact with, but on Amazon, I'm seeing these run like $60-$70!
Like, seriously!?? That seems like a lot for a loop of wire and some padding.
I was wondering if people had other thoughts or experiences concerning heating a surface. What will/won't work? Which is the cheapest way to go?
Just brainstorming options, ...
* dog bed heater
* electric floor heater (like those intended to go under tile floors like in bathrooms)
* heated floor mat/bath mat
* roof heating cable
* pipe non-freeze tape
* diy+ carbon heat strips (an example diy project)
* electric blanket
* seed starter warmer
* ... others?

Idea was pre RMH days so obviously the current appropriate technology is a miniture RMH if you do not have the space for a full sized one.micro-heat bubble.
