Gift Guide # 17: Put a Name on It

Personalized gifts to show loved ones you care...like, a lot

I did not grow up with hot water bottles, but after a year in Northern Ireland they’ve become a staple in my home. The retro-ness of filling up a hot water bottle before curling up on the couch is part of their charm, I suppose. But don’t be fooled into thinking their old-fashioned charm means they are ineffective. Heavens no! They work wonders at keeping you warm. This cashmere hot water bottle is reasonably priced, and the U.K.-based company is footing the bill for duties and taxes while offering a flat $25 rate for shipping. This is a gift you might want to place under your own tree. ;)
