I gave that tip to somebody in my family years ago during the fuel strike.

He used a plastic plant pot.  DOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. :roll:

Hmmmmmm, I was just thinking that a plastic plant pot may not work.  :roll:
Don't see many pot pots about these days though.

FCG's idea is fairly sound.
Solar panel producing small current at 12v.
Wire it up through a couple of small 12 bulbs.
Insert bulbs into something that will retain heat (brick?) and slowly release it.
You would have to use a filament bulb as these give off mainly heat.
So when lit they heat up the "lump"
Problem is that I suspect that you will not get a great amount of heat.

I have a set of gloves that are "heated" they are for a motorbike so are 12v. Reality is that they keep the cold off they do not heat the hands. They were good however. So somewhere out there is 12v heating wire :shock:

Was reading something on the web about heated slippers that operate off of a USB port. USB ports supply 6v I think, so a possibility is to buy some and canabilise

They are around.  You can buy them second hand, even a cracked one will work.   Or one with a chip or two.   Ask around and you might even get one or two free. Your local garden center is a good place to ask.  But make sure you give them a good wash just in case.

How about a cheap king size electric blanket, cheap to run and can be machine washed and tumble dried these days
