The hot water bottle has arrived in present course fits perfectly with the season. The shell of the bottle (ie the tap) is sooo beautifully finished and lovingly. The material is very pleasant soft. I love this hot water bottle! The only thing that bothered us was the smell of the first bottle! As I have given hot water to it has spontaneously smelled like a gas station or similar that was very unpleasant. After three practices but better.
