#9 Neighbor Christmas Gift Idea – Therapy Sacs
November 27, 2009 by Missy
These are so great for cold toes after sledding or just being out in the cold. You just pop them in the mirco for a couple minutes, put on your cold toes or hands, AAHH instant warmth. They are also great for sore muscles.
tag idea: Stay warm and toasty this Holiday Season, Merry Christmas!
To make: You just sew a pouch, fill with wheat or rice, sew the pouch closed – DONE! So Easy! I used a washcloth for my material and added a ribbon embelishment, but you could use any fabric. (Be sure not to use ribbon with wire in it – for obvious reasons)

Love the idea of making this with a washcloth! Would hold up well.
I like to put one by my feet in bed in the Winter. I checked out the link you posted. The poem really makes the gift!
My mom would make these by filling a tube sock with rice (we noticed wheat smelled bad if accidently nuked too long) and then tying a knot in the top. Thus they became known as “hot socks.” I love the idea of adding essential oils!
