We love hot water bottles in our household. When the weather turns cold it’s so delicious to pre-heat the bed with a lovely, warm hot water bottle. They help tummy-aches, cramps and colds melt away. And I just found these pocket-sized hot water bottles to tuck in a big pocket to keep hands warm during a brisk walk. They just needed a malabrigo cover to make them perfect!
