Have a Pillow Pets Christmas
Check out Pillow Pets -- one of the hottest toys this Christmas season!
Pillow Pets are really the simplest concept. It's funny, though, how the simplest things catch on. Pillow Pets are cute, cuddly, and wonderful toys, but the concept is deceptively dull. They don't light up, talk, glow, or walk. Nonetheless, kids everywhere have gone nuts over these cuddly creatures.
Pillow Pets, which actually go by the brand name My Pillow Pets, have achieved overnight popularity, so if you're stuck for a Christmas gift this holiday season, there aren't many kids who wouldn't welcome their very own pillow pet.
What is it?
Have you ever walked in to find your kids curled up asleep, their heads pillowed on their favorite stuffed animal? If so, you'll understand the concept of the pillow pet immediately. It's an extremely soft and cuddly stuffed animal, perfectly sized and shaped for hugging.The gimmick with My Pillow Pets is that when you undo the Velcro strap holding them in their cuddly animal shape, they flatten out and become pillows. Presto: a soft, warm, cuddly pillow in the shape of your favorite stuffed animal!
There are tons of Pillow Pets available, so you can consult your kids' animal and color preferences when you do your shopping. Just a few of the animals you can get include a dragon, a bunny, an alligator, a giraffe, and a penguin. The marketing cleverly includes animals and colors that appeal to boys as well as girls, making this a great gift for any gender or age group.
Where to buy Pillow Pets
If you're starting to wonder where to buy Pillow Pets, you're not alone. The most popular styles (the unicorn, the puppy, and the panda) sell out extremely quickly. Last year, My Pillow Pets were such a popular item that the prices skyrocketed online, and many children were either disappointed or had very grouchy parents who'd paid an astronomical price for a stuffed animal.
That said, it's best to shop early. If you can't and have to resort to online shopping, however, be very careful that you are buying an actual My Pillow Pet. Unfortunately, many unscrupulous individuals have created knock offs. And while there's nothing wrong with that per se, there IS something wrong when they try to market their imitations as genuine articles and charge accordingly.
Let's face it: your kids probably won't care whether they have a genuine pillow pet or not, so long as it does what it's supposed to. So if knock offs don't bother you and they're all you can find, go for it. Just make sure you know what you're buying.
All in all, these are great toys for kids, who absolutely adore them. So if you want to be a child's Santa Claus, My Pet Pals are the way to go.
