Not only do they look great, but the covers are super soft and easy to clean and the bottle itself is made from natural rubber. They’re also the perfect size for little ones to snuggle up with and, unsurprisingly, nearly all reviewers reported they were a huge hit with the kids.Parents can be nervous about hot water bottles around children, so opting for a soft toy-style product that comes with a microwavable pouch is a great way to enjoy the benefits of a hot water bottle without dealing with hot water itself. On the downside, these fluffy characters may have a limited shelf life and they might not be the preferred option when they get a bit older. What’s the best kids’ hot water bottle to buy?

When I work from home it's a constant. I was given a small pink fluffy one a few years ago but never really used it as it's too small for me.
