Review & Giveaway: Pillow Pets - not just another stuffed animal
Wednesday, December 2, 2009 at 12:00PM My sister-in-law started a rule in her house for stuffed animals that I'm considering adopting....
Aunt Sue's Rule:
For every new stuffed animal that comes in, an old one has to go out.
We are literally swimming in stuffed animals. Part of the reason is that little girls of a certain age find every freaking stuffed animal from the tiniest clip-on koala to the life-size giraffe, cute. Part of the problem is The Mister and his love of claw games....especially claw games with stuffed animals.
A pet I can appreciate
Enter Pillow Pets: part stuffed animal, part pillow. They come in a variety of animals including a ladybug, panda, monkey, frog, hippo, duck, and more. There is a strap that allows you to pull the ends of the pillow together and secure it with velcro so the pet can 'stand'. Undo the strap and the pet flattens out to a cozy pillow.

So many uses and excuses to buy the Pillow Pet
Here's why I'm giving Pillow Pets a Twofer Thumbs Up (take note, these are my Pros)
Pillow Pets are made of really soft material that is definitely cozy enough to use as a pillow.
At just $19.95 these are great gifts for the holidays, birthdays, or any celebration.
I can see the Twofer using their pets for sleepovers, long car rides or flights, vacations, or even just to snuggle in fron of the TV.
BUT the MOST important thing here is that Pillow Pets have a reason to exist! Yay! I don't have to fight with The Twofer when it comes time to purge stuffed animals. Pillow Pets will make the cut.

Pillow Pets might not be right for you (take note, these are the Cons)...
if you don't have little kids. Not sure a teen will find them as cute.
if you like to stick to gifts that are under $20.00.
if you have an aversion to buying something that's 'As Seen on TV'.

I'd go with a unicorn. :) Tweeting @gzes.
The unicorn for sure! My daughter is constantly telling me she wants a unicorn pillow pet! The minute she hears the music from that commerical, she knows it's pillow pets no matter where she is in the house.
