One thing that we have been making use of already in the quest for warmth & comfort, is heat packs. Filled with wheat or rice, they are easy to make & our collection is growing. A quick zap in the microwave & they are ready for snuggling. As part of our bedtime routine I like to wrap the kids' pj's around a heat pack so that they are nice & toasty for them to put on after their bath.
Given my current love for Chenille I backed this heat pack cover with it. The front is a very quickly put together patchwork. I think i need to make some more masculine covers next.

What a fantastic idea! How long do they stay warm for?
Soooo cute!! I ned to make one of these to keep my bed warm while DH is away this summer!! *nods*
The chenille alone is cosy-tastic! It's so cold in this house at the moment I think I'd probably be needing a body-length wheatbag...
too cute! been meaning to make some of these for my kiddies..
how long do you zap them for? and how long do they stay warm?
Great idea to use chenille. Chenille just screams "Cuddle me, I'll keep you warm!"
I'm a big fan of the hot water bottle, but I really need to make some covers for them!
I love your idea of the wheat/heat packs!
Oh, those look so cozy!
What a lovely mum to pre warm the children's PJ's. My gran used warm my PJ's in front of her heater...
Oooh, chenille! I need more chenille in my life I think. So do you just use regular rice in these heat packs? Or special, heat-pack rice?!
