The 10 best hot water bottles to keep your whole family snug and cosy this winter

This luxury Rebecca sheepskin hot water bottle has been made from traditional rubber and 100 per cent sheepskin. If you are looking for a gift, push present or a treat for yourself, then look no further. This hot water bottle is soft, soothing and the perfect item to snuggle up to on a cold night. It arrives in a lovely box, making it very easy to present as a gift. 

Not suitable for children

Mother&Baby Senior writer, Hannah Carroll, said: "The quality of this water bottle is unmatched. As soon as I got it out of the box I couldn't stop touching it. It is so warm and soft. It feels like a warm hug. A hint of a chill or a long day - it's the first thing to come out. The sheepskin cover protects your skin from being burnt."

If you are looking for a super sweet hot water bottle to keep your little one warm, this Helen Moore Children's Pocket Pal is perfect. We love that it has a small pocket with a cute linen toy. This comforting hot water bottle is a great way to keep the cold away. This water bottle is available in three colours.

Mother&Baby Senior writer, Hannah Carroll said: "This is such a sweet hot water bottle. It is a gorgeous gift as it includes a sweet little teddy. It has been a great comfort to my little one when he is feeling under the weather or in need of comfort."

Filled with cereals and lavender, this is no ordinary hot water bottle. Not only is it the cutest sloth we have ever seen but it is soft and weighty making it the perfect spooning partner. Unlike a traditional hot water bottle, you can pop this sloth in the microwave for a few minutes to heat it up.

Not suitable for diabetics or people with circulatory problems

If waiting for the kettle to boil doesn't float your boat, this is another speedy option. Another one that heats up in the microwave, we love how cute this 'hot water bottle' is. Perfect for the whole family and as a good cuddly you when not being used for heat purposes. With 16 animals to choose from, each is filed with specially treated millet grains and dried lavender flower. Look forward to a menagerie of these in your home.

M&B writer, Eleanor Weaver, said: "Everyone in my family has one of these (even dad!) with extras often being gifted around Christmas time. It's a great size though it can be a tight squeeze in smaller microwaves. Warming up nicely in less than two minutes without getting too hot, each is lovely and cuddly too with long-lasting heat and a lovely lavender scent."

When you are pregnant, those aches and pains come in an abundance and even those areas you didn't even know could hurt begin to ache. A hot water bottle is a fantastic way to ease the pain without resorting to any medication. This extra long hot water bottle will have your whole body covered, tackling larger areas.

This is the larger hot water bottle designed by Helen Moore. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the cute little teddy that the smaller version does but it is a really sweet mother and child gift. This is faux fur making it a great option for vegans.

**Mother&Baby Senior writer, Hannah Carroll said: "**My son was delighted when he saw that we had matching hot water bottles. This hot water bottle is so soft and also cruelty-free. It is of such high quality. I love using it when I have cramps as it eases the pain."
