Nah, they're also not uncommon in the Netherlands, where I'm from, and Germany, where my partner's from (don't know if I'd call them "common" though).

What I found truly surprising is that they're impossible to find in Sweden, where we live. You'd think that hot water bottles would become more common the further up north you go.

"...they're impossible to find in Sweden,"

Ha, you're just too modern up there. Come to think of it I've not seen one either down here in Australia for many decades. Maybe they've finally died out altogether.
