Hot Hands warmer packs.
I knew someone who worked construction outside in the winter in New England, and he swore by these little hot packs. You crack them to mix the chemicals inside of them, and they heat up, staying warm for hours. My friend put them inside his work boots and pockets so that he could keep his feet warm and stick his hands inside his pockets when he needed to warm them up.
