Description
This quilted hot water bottle carries the Wild Flowers print, a cheerful botanical design scattered across a soft cream ground. Red poppies, purple foxgloves, blue cornflowers and forget-me-nots, yellow gorse and cowslips grow all over it, each labelled in small script with its Latin name, much like a page from an old field guide. The cotton cover is quilted in a neat diamond pattern that gives it a soft, padded feel in the hand. It measures 34cm long, 21.5cm wide and about 5.5cm deep, a generous size that holds approximately 1.2 litres.
It is made for cold nights and slow evenings. Tuck it under the duvet before bed so the sheets are warm when you climb in, or keep it on your lap on the sofa while you read or watch a film. It is large enough to warm your feet or rest against your back, and the quilted cotton feels far kinder against the skin than bare rubber. The bright print means it looks cheerful left out on a bed or an armchair, so there is no need to hide it away in a drawer between uses.
Inside the cover sits a rubber bottle with a plastic stopper. The cover comes off, so always slip the bottle out before the cover is washed, and store the bottle empty with its stopper removed between uses. As with any hot water bottle, check the stopper is screwed in firmly each time you fill it. We think it makes a thoughtful gift for the colder months, and it brings a little of the summer meadow into a winter bedroom.

It is 34cm long, 21.5cm wide and about 5.5cm deep, and the bottle holds approximately 1.2 litres, a generous full size.

Store the bottle empty with the stopper removed, which lets it dry out properly and keeps it ready for the next cold night.
