Mr. Toastie

By

I'm one of those people whose tummy starts to hurt when the weather turns cold. After seeing too many neon green and magenta flower-patterned heat packs that simply made my head hurt, I decided to make my own. 

Mr. Toastie is a friendly microwaveable heat pack and the perfect cold-weather companion. Simply warm him up for 1 minute and he's ready to heal everything from sore muscles to queasy tummies and freezing hands.

Details: He is made entirely from scratch using rice and a calming scent. He is held together with cotton canvas and is 4 inches wide, 6 inches tall and 1 inch fat (See photo below for size). He will keep you warm for 30-45 minutes.

Caution: Heat for 45 seconds to 1 minute max! Heat too long and his rice-y insides could get burnt. Slight moisture after heating is normal because rice contains a small amount of water. Do not eat!
