In some embodiments the gelatinous material (50) can be chilled or heated to provide a source of cold or heat for a period of time. The gelatinous material (40) can be held in place by a base support means (20). In some embodiments wrist rest (10) can be grasped with both hands and squeezed, propelling the gelatinous material within the elastic envelope, thereby functioning as an exercise means for the hands and fingers of the hands.
