Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been.

Blood circulation in my hands breaks down completely when I get cold, so no. I will not be turning down the heat.
- Gloves wear big ass gloves use gloves that make your hands look like Mii character hands big ass spheres attached to the ends of your arms zero functionality just big ol gloves
- The older I have gotten, the more true that has been for me. I'm in an enclosed room with its own electric heater and it's plenty warm in here because I'm comfortable in a T-shirt, but my fingers have been like ice since I woke up well over an hour ago and they aren't getting warmer.
  
  This is the year my hands and feet started getting cold. It's been... an adjustment.
  
  I can't remember when it started for me but it's like a big red "you're old now" flag. Sigh.
  
  Right? No me gusta, I wanna go back to being 20 kthxplzbye.
- Meh I just deal with the purple arms
- I'm a very chilly person who loses dexterity fast. I find some quick exercises warm me up pretty well.
  But yeah you've got to heat your space to a minimum of comfort
- Fingerless wool gloves.
  
  I'm not the person you replied to, but fingerless gloves don't fix the big problem of your fingers being super cold due to the poor circulation. My hands feel just fine right now. My fingers, which were warm for a while today, have felt like they were suspended in ice water since the last time I was outside about 45 minutes ago.
  I wish there were a good solution like that, believe me I've tried to find a good one that will allow me both warm fingers and manual dexterity and not be super uncomfortable (like tight rubber gloves or something), but I haven't found it yet.
  
  Electrically heated fingerless gloves?
  
  Again, they won't heat my fingers. Which are what were cold until about 5 minutes ago. It took a lot of holding them under my arms and blowing on them.
