Softest Spring Gift: Pillow Pets! {Review, Coupon and Giveaway}

Candy, Colored Eggs, Bathing Suits and Sunglasses are all staples in my kids’ Easter Basket, but this year I am looking for something a little different.  What would catch their eye and be something they would play with for more than a few minutes?  Pillow Pets!  I have been fortunate enough to work with this company on several occasions and I have yet to be disappointed by one of their products.  This year, the Spring Line would make adorable Easter gifts for not only my own kids, but my nephew and nieces, too! What kid wouldn’t love to snuggle with this……

We were sent the Cuddly Panda to try out and I can tell you that it is just as soft as its counterparts.  The Velcro holds the Panda in shape until bedtime when the Pet transforms into the softest pillow ever.  Usually, I give the Pets to my kids, but I am keeping this one for myself!  Take a look at all eight Pillow Pets available this Spring:

  1. Ms. Lady Bug
  2. Magical Unicorn
  3. Comfy Panda
  4. Playful Penguin
  5. Buzzing Bumble Bee
  6. Squeaky Dolphin
  7. Silly Monkey
  8. Snuggly Puppy

Valentine’s Pillow Pets: Review and Giveaway

Each night, I read a story to my daughter, pray and tuck her into bed….with about 5 Pillow Pets. She absolutely loves these things and I can’t say that I blame her. The Pillow Pets are so soft and cuddly that I was so excited to get the opportunity to review the brand new Valentine’s Pet, Love Pup!

Have you heard of Pillow Pets?  Just in case you haven’t hugged one yet, let me explain:

Made of ultra-soft chenille, Pillow Pets™ plush foldable stuffed animals are much more than a stuffed animal. With a strap that closes underneath to transform the pillow into a friendly pet, they are an ideal travel pal, naptime buddy and all-around cuddly friend. Pillow Pets™ plush foldable stuffed animals are available in jungle animals, farm critters and sea creatures – 36 different animals to choose from – and are just one part of the Pillow Pets™ family of products, which also includes books, blankets, slippers, and games.”

How can you resist this face?

When the Luv Pup arrived, I decided that it was MY turn to own a Pillow Pet and claimed him as my own!  He is just as soft as the others in the series and incredibly cute with hearts on his belly.  His nose is even shaped like a little heart!  If you are looking for a great gift for your kids (or even your sweetie), the Luv Pup from Pillow Pets would make a great snuggle buddy!

Pillow Pets Spring Line: Giveaway!

In December, I was fortunate enough to do a product review and giveaway of the very popular Holiday gift, Pillow Pets!  The adorable plush pets were so popular that they were sold out for a period of time, and after reviewing the product, I could totally understand why!  Only a few short months later and Pillow Pets is back with a brand new Spring Line including a bunny, a duck and a lamb!   About Pillow Pets:

puffyduckPillow Pets are a pillow and a stuffed animal, snapped up into one. Made of ultra-soft, machine washable chenille, PillowPets transform from a standard size pillow into a friendly, warm and snuggly pet with one strap. Pillow Pets are available in 20 adorable animal varieties that live in the jungle, on the farm and in the sea. They make ideal naptime buddies, travel pals and all-around fun, furry friends.  Winner of a 2009 iParenting Media Excellent Product Award and the 2009 Dr. Toy Best Vacation Product Award, Pillow Pets are much more than a stuffed animal!”

Aubrie still loves her Pillow Pet Puppy she received in December and uses it to lay on while watching movies with her big sister.  So when the pink bunnies arrived, I knew they would be an instant hit with them both.  The first thing I noticed is that they are just as soft as the puppy.  It’s so soft, I am honestly a little jealous that I don’t have one!  Just like the puppy, the bunny transforms from a stuffed animal to an 18″ pillow with one swift tug on the Velcro attachment.  And to maximize the cuteness, the bunnies ears are lined with a polka dotted fabric!

Your child not into bunnies?  Check out the equally cute lamb, tiger or penguin!  Because the pets are super affordable, they would make great Easter or birthday gifts.  The first pet is only $19.95 with each additional pet sold for only $15.95 (shipping and handling fees will apply).

I love our Pillow Pets so much, I am excited to tell you that I have one pet of your choice to give away!!

Pillow Pets: Review and Giveaway

hypothesis The Snuggly Puppy Pillow Pet will be a great bedtime pal for my Aubrie, my 20 month old daughter, and will also make a great travel companion on the ride to and from daycare.

One Snuggly Puppy Pillow Pet, and one toddler is can’t wait to find a bedtime buddy to snuggle and love!  About Pillow Pets:

results My daughter, Aubrie, will be turning two soon and has entered the stage where she has become attached to several “security” items around the house.  A blanket, a teddy bear, and her paci are only a few items that she MUST have!  So when I was approached to review the Pillow Pet, I knew that Aubrie was the perfect candidate for this review.

Photobucket
When the Snuggly Puppy Pillow Pet arrived, Aubrie immediately tackled the puppy and wouldn’t let it go.  She pet the puppy for quite some time, and after feeling the puppy for myself, I really couldn’t blame her!  It is incredibly soft!  After a few minutes, I released the Velcro and showed her that the puppy was also a pillow.  She watched in amazement and instantly dove onto her new pillow and said, “Night Night!”  Snuggly Puppy was a hit with Aubrie and she has yet to sleep without her new friend.

hypothesis The Snuggly Puppy Pillow Pet is Aubrie’s new best friend!  She loves to carry it around as a puppy and lay on it as a pillow.  I love that it is super soft and machine washable.  With 20 different designs, you are sure to find a pet that your child will adore!  And if you love the pillows, check out the backpacks and blankets!

Sold at very reasonable prices, the pillows, blankets and backpacks would make excellent holiday gifts or birthday presents!

Unfortunately, the Pillow Pets are unavailable right now due to high demand, but you can win one right here on The Not-So-Blog!

1. Visit Pillow Pets and tell me which blanket or backpack is your favorite!
