This is a 2 litre silicone hot water bottle dressed in a red knitted cover, made to warm your bed, soothe cramps and ease aches on cold nights. The cover looks like a little winter jumper, complete with a ribbed roll neck and white knitted patterns such as snowflakes or hearts, which makes it as charming as it is practical. Knitted fabric softens the heat against your skin and helps the bottle stay warm for longer. Nairobi's cold season catches many homes without heating, and a hot water bottle filled from the kettle is a simple, power-free way to stay warm. It is a lovely Christmas or Valentine's gift, a comfort for anyone with period pain or back trouble, and a thoughtful touch for elderly relatives who feel the cold at night.

Buying guide
Fill the bottle with hot water from a kettle that has been left to cool for a minute, up to about two-thirds full, then press out the air and screw the stopper firmly. Keep the knitted cover on whenever it is in use and never lie directly on the bottle. After use, empty it completely and hang it upside down to dry, which helps it last much longer. Hand-wash the cover in cool water and dry flat so the knit keeps its shape. Patterns vary by stock, so mention if you prefer snowflakes or hearts.
How it compares
Electric blankets and heating pads warm well but rely on electricity and cost more to run. A hot water bottle works during power cuts, travels easily and needs only a kettle. Compared with a plain bottle, the knitted cover protects your skin, holds the warmth longer and looks far more giftable.
