VersionTECH. Mini Handheld Fan, USB Desk Fan, Small Personal Portable Table Fan with USB Rechargeable Battery Operated Cooling Folding Electric Fan for Travel Office Room Household Black

Yes, we need fans for winter. Some of the days may get cold, but they may also heat back up into the 90s. If you don't want to lug around a different set of clothes, you can just prepare for cold mornings, and use this fan in the afternoon until you can get home and out of that sweater.
