Aldi’s £12.99 buy will keep you warm for hours so you don’t have to put the heating on & it makes a great Christmas gift

takes just 15 minutes to heat and promises to deliver two to three hours of "continuous warmth from a single charge".

And with just 230V of power, it should be pretty cheap to charge up again, perfect for keeping energy bills down this winter.

Unlike traditional hot water bottle designs, Aldi's version features a front pocket.

And from the looks of things, it's the ideal size to warm up your hands - talk about snug!

We can just imagine settling down with this on the sofa with a cheesy festive film lined up, for the ultimate cosy night in.

Or why not use the pocket to warm up your feet after a long day out in the cold?

At £12,99, it comes in at a very decent price compared to other rechargeable hot water bottle designs out there.

Tesco is for £19.99, while Dunelm has for £14, which one five-star review notes: "It's brilliant for my disabled husband [who] has MS.

"Left hand is always cold. Not now."

The minimalist design and grey colourway keep things simple and understated, making it a versatile choice for any home.

Because of that, it's pretty much a foolproof Christmas present idea for those hard-to-buy-for family members.

After all, who wouldn't want the gift of cosiness?

Aldi says the water reaches a maximum temperature of 70°C, so it'll provide plenty of heat.

It has a water capacity of 1.2L, so it's a bit smaller than the standard 2L size of most hot water bottles - ideal if you're after something a bit more compact in size.

You could even pop it in your bag and use it on the go – think those moments when the bus is taking ages and you wish you had something to keep you warm.

It hits Aldi stores from the 8th December, so make sure you head into your local if you want to secure one.
