Hot Booties, $14.99, orderhotbooties.com

The promise: Put booties in the microwave, and then "enjoy the warm cozy comfort of long-lasting heat." Natural linseed holds the heat in for up to an hour, and lavender seeds provide "a fragrant aromatherapy to help soothe and calm your senses."

The facts: Heat lasts only 13 minutes max; booties feels as if you're walking on a bag of sand; uneven sole no good for those with balance problems; linseed smells so bad you have to wash your hands after putting them on.

Ellen says: N-O!
