Hot Water Bottles?
Has anyone purchased a hot water bottle and cover here in the US that they can recommend. I have found the bottle on drugstore.com but no cover and the covers on Amazon are a bit naff. I really like the selection that Boot's have, the furry ones and would like something similar.
I'm freezing my bits off so would like to get a couple to snuggle up with really quickly.

Can't help you but curious why a water bottle or do you mean a hot water bag would have a cover? Mine is very heavy rubber with a screw type stopper. It didn't have a cover when I bought it 30 odd years ago. I do have a heating pad which came with a lovely flannel cover. It gives off a moist heat and quite lovely.

edited to say: here is one link you might try. Have not ordered from them, but their catalogue has some interesting things in it, including a British Hot Bot and cover

Well, I discovered hot water bottles in Chile (no pun intended) about 10 years ago and never turned back. I love them! The stores in Chile sell them with really nice, thick fleece-type covers in a variety of designs and colors. Unfortunately, I threw mine away since they were not "essential" when I moved back to the US. I regret that now.
I bought the hot wattle bottles we use now at Target BUT they come with really thin, flimsy, plain white velour-type covers. I looked online for some a few months ago but the cheapest ones I could find were like $15 plus shipping! No thanks... I went ahead and made my own out of fleece material. It's a bit rudimentary but it does the job.

If your really looking for comfort, Restoration Hardware have cashmere covered hotwater bottles from $50. I remember because I had to explain to the Americans I was with (while xmas shopping) what a hot water bottle was used for !.

could always stuff an old sock with dried beans or rice and nuke in microwave for a couple mins and dump at the foot of the bed...that'll stay warm for a while and take the sting out of things...

A few years back my father in law bought over for me a microwave hot water bottle. That thing was great. Three minutes each side and it stayed warm until the morning. Sadly, that one has gone belly up. When I last used it it inflated so much I thought it would bust plus it did not get very warm.
I am currently without a hot water bottle and have been searching locally to buy one.
One I did buy had no cover so I bought some fleece from Wal-Mart and wrapped it up like a parcel.
Good luck.

All the hot water bottles that I have with covers came from Britain. I have one that I bought over here without a cover. I know that this doesn't help you much but I've been using mine a lot lately as I haven't been feeling well and they're nice to snuggle up to! How about' bed bath and beyond' or 'linens and things', I bet they would have some.
