Great idea! My daughter is always saying she's too hot to sleep, and this is perfect. I colored it blue....it looks even colder, more icy!

Just had to try this when I saw the recipe. I've been having knee trouble and this worked great! I came here to leave the tip to freeze and then put in the vacuum sealer and you had all beat me to it!! lol.. But I also did something a little different. I folded a cotton dish towel and inserted it into the bag along with the water and alcohol. I froze it flat on the shelf in the freezer and it works great. It's very flexible, too.

This is awesome...DH had a toothache, and we didn't have an ice pack. He was a bit whiney saying that ice wouldn't help it, but...who would've thought that I was right! =) Was soft enough to gently mold to his face...toothache was gone in no time! I added blue food coloring to make it easier to find in the fridge. Thanks for posting this!
