The hottest hot botties in town

I've been hunting for hot water bottles recently and have come across several I just have to share. The monsters below are totally divine for children and are made by Dawanda in Germany.


This super soft Alpaca bottle cover is produced by the non-profit organisation Minka who work with poor communities in Peru to ensure that local artisans get a fair price for their goods. It is sold by Traidcraft in the UK.

Based in London, knitwear designer Row Oxo creates throws, cushions and these cheery hot water bottle covers made from superfine Scottish lamb's wool and cashmere. They are all handcrafted with individual care and sold on the Rowpinto website.



Opting for a unique rectangular design,the Greenshop stock this lovely appliqué bottle cover, made from organic cotton (with polyster wadding so ,it's easy to wash!) Toasty and warm, they make a great green gift!
