Great Gift Idea ~ Pillow Pets Review and Giveaway



Pillow Pets are a product that have caught my eye for quite some time now. I always enjoy finding things that are fun and have a purpose for my kids. Rather than buying them another simple stuffed animal this Easter, why not a Pillow Pet that is super soft, lovable and best of all...can be used as a pillow?!

For the past 7 years, Pillow Pets have been bringing smiles to the faces of all ages. The idea that they can be transformed from a simple stuffed animal to a functional item like a pillow is wonderful! Why didn't I think of that? Made of ultra-soft chenille, Pillow Pets are much more than a stuffed animal. With a strap that closes underneath it transforms the pillow into a friendly pet. I love that they are an ideal travel pal and all around snuggly friend! Pillow Pets are available in jungle animals, farm critters and sea creatures – 20 different animals to choose from.

Just in time for Spring and Easter, Pillow Pets is featuring new spring/Easter-themed products. The bunny, the duck and the lamb are all adorable!

“We’ve been in touch with the big bunny who prefers the Pillow Pets bunnies in pink or purple for obvious reasons, but particularly because you can only get them this time of year,” said Jennifer Telfer, VP of Operations for My Pillow Pets. “However, the word we hear from children is that any of the Pillow Pet animals would be happily welcomed in their homes on Easter morning.”

My Pillow Pets sent us the duck for Kaelyn and Kaden.

Until it arrived in the mail, I had only seen these on television and online. I knew they were super cute, but wondered how I'd like the quality and size. All of my reservations went away once I got my hands on it. It is incredibly soft and I could tell right away that it was well made (a must when it comes to products for kids). I expected it to be smaller for some reason, but have found the size to be perfect after having it around now. It makes a great stuffed animal, as well as a snuggly pillow for Kaelyn to use when she's watching a movie or resting. I have a feeling we'll be taking it in the car and on any trips we take. I also love that it's machine washable!


I love how easy it is to convert from a simple stuffed animal to a nice sized pillow. All you have to do is undo the strap and there you have it, a duck pillow! So cute!


I would definitely recommend Pillow Pets to the parents I know! They would make fantastic gifts any time of the year. The selection of animals they offer is amazing and all are so adorable.
