Cheapest way to warm a room wfh

I work from home in an office which has a radiator that doesn’t kick out enough heat for me. The boiler is new and I can’t put in a radiator that is much wider and I don’t want to add a second as the pipes would have to be on display.

The room has patio doors into the garden and curtains which I can draw when it is dark.

But I’m cold. I want some type of heater that isn’t going to cost a fortune. I wear heat holder socks, thermals and wrist warmers but my fingertips go numb and I have to be able to type.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

@Cranberriesandtea if you have a really good thick cover and then a blanket on top of that they stay warm pretty much all day!

You can get microwavable ones.

Sheepskin house boots from Celtic (Ugg type but made in the U.K.) are brilliant for keeping your feet warm. Mind are several years old - I’ve just machine washed them ready for the cold weather.
They’re called ‘house’ boots but you can wear them outside - sole is just thinner than their outdoor boots.
