Gift Ideas For The Holidays

Gifting
Are you searching for a unique, low cost gift idea? I've been sewing up a storm the last few weeks with more to come. Keep checking back here for photos of new, budget minded gift ideas. This week and next I'll be working on little fabric "package toppers/ornaments" Market Line items, Christmas Stockings and Cosmetic Bags.

Hot/Cold Packs

My hot/cold packs are filled with rice, flax seed, lavender flowers and peppermint leaves. The outside covering is 100% cotton. There is a wide selection of Cotton Prints to choose from. Through the end of the year, shipping on any Hot/Cold Pack item is free!

Mini Pack: $8.00
In the past, I made some little Mini Hot/Cold pack as a bonus gift for those who have purchased from me. I'm now adding them to my line for sale for the first time. The Mini Hot/Cold Pack is 4" x 12" and priced at a low $8.00!

Hi, I have 3 that I've accumulated over the years b/c I have a bad back- (plus they provide an instant fix for any kid booboos straight out of the freezer!), but my favorite one has velcro straps so that I can use it on my lumbar region. It's pretty old and abused though- if you could do such a thing, I'd buy a couple. You know, w/ all your spare time! ;) You can PM me on IS/ user poplife. :)

Anony @ 10:48,

I'm not a member of IS message board.

If you would like a custom hot/cold pack with velcro® email me and we can work something out in the fabric of your choice.

I just received a goodie pkg from the wonderful Besty Ross! Let me tell you about these WONDERFUL hot/cold packs! They really are the very best I've ever used (and I've used A LOT of hot/cold packs over the years!) From now on, I will only use Betsy Ross's hot/cold packs. Not only are they very pretty to look at (great feeling fabrics and colorful... unlike the ugly green or dark blue terry cloth or mystery synthetic fabric ones you buy from the drug or department store) these packs feel absolutely soft and wonderful. They really hold the temperature for a good long period of time too. Oh! And did I mention? Again unlike the hard and uncomfortable packs you buy from the drug/department store, Betsy's hot/cold packs mold perfectly to your body; they're so soft! And they smell absolutely delightful! She adds the perfect mixture of wonderful scents that really soothe the body and soul. I suffer from chronic sinus issues and the scent (along with the heat) of these packs really help me breath easier. I just can't say enough positive things about them. I'm hooked - forever! I have the large hot/cold pack on my back as I'm typing this..and ahhhh...it feels so good and comforting. My friends and family are going to find these under their Christmas trees this year!

Originally, I ordered the hot/cold packs from Betsy and when I received them, I had to place a second order! They are beautiful. I ordered them for Christmas presents for co-workers and now have ordered a second batch. I love the smell of them and they are very pretty and well made. I'm telling everyone about this website.

Thanks Betsy!

PS. Thanks for all of the "extras" included in each order. Love them!

I'm curious to know if you're still doing the hot/cold packs...I'm noticing most of this is from the end of 2008...are the sales still going on?..maybe I've missed some info somewhere here?...anywhoooo, I bought two of the packs from you, 3 yrs ago, or so, & LOVED them!... I'd like to order some more in the very near future :>)

it's probably as simple as hitting the "buy/order" button, huh? lol

anyway, I caught you on a radio show about the Spector sentencing & remembered the hot/cold packs I purchased in the past, lol...they really are great!

Take it from a person with a 20+year history of low back pain—Betsy's hot/cold pack is the best you can get!
The cold you get isn't as jarring, and the heat generated is gentle and won't burn your skin. The pack itself is mobile enough that you can actually lie on your back and not be uncomfortable in the least.
I am on my way to lying on the floor with one in place (having a bad back day) and I know I'll be as comfortable as I can be while my back is acting like a 9 out of 10 on the pain scale.
I also have a small wrist-sized one that I use as a cold pack when I am doing heavy-duty typing.
Consider these things an investment—and don't even think about buying the crappy ones that are at those mall kiosks! There IS a HUGE difference in quality, trust me!

I just wanted to mention that I have a Betsy Hot/Cold pack that is the most wonderful thing ever. I used "Corn Bags" alot because the produce "moist heat" for my Fibromyalgia. When I got my Hot/Cold pack, I was sure it wouldn't work. It was BETTER. Not only is it not as bulky as a Corn Bag, but the heat is evenly distributed (Thanks to the ingenious design) and it SMELLS wonderful. I won't ever give mine up. As a matter of fact, I may need a new one soon!!! Thanks - Anneliese (NY)
