I had a girlfriend once who was always complaining about being cold. I usually gave her the benefit of the doubt—after all, this IS Vermont. For my ex, the hot shower provided much-needed respite but, like all good things, the hot shower came to an end. Now if only I had known about this little beauty… the Glass Towel Warmer, heats a cold cotton towel to a toasty temp, prolonging the warming shower experience. Officially known as the Thermique Towel Warmer, this creation of Engineered Glass Products achieves uniform heating across its entire surface by virtue of invisible conductors within the glass. And not only will the whole towel heat up, the glass won’t cause second-degree burns (those who have metal “radiator” towel warmers know what I’m talking about). Features include thermostat and timer controls, and an automatic shut-off after two hours. Expect to hire an electrician to hard-wire the unit into the wall, and expect to pay around $2500 (a little pricey, maybe, but such luxury can be worth every penny to some). Available in June of 2006. Plug-in floor model available in ’07. Fellas—if this doesn’t scream Valentines Day/Anniversary/Birthday gift, nothing does. If only I had bought one long ago, that ex might not be an ex…
