Great Non-Toy Christmas Gift Giveaway #1 - Pillows!!

When I wrote my first Non-Toy Gift List back in April, I included blankets, sheets and sleeping bags, but not pillows. Lucas was still too young to sleep with one, so pillows were not on my gift radar at the time. But now that Lucas is 20 months old (and because even though we have a house filled with toys, Lucas still periodically chooses to play with the decorative throw pillows on the couch,) I figured it was time to start looking for a great pillow for Lucas. And man, did I ever find a great pillow!

Cinnamon from the Etsy shop Sew Cinnamon is the creator, maker, and awesome seller of The Perfect Toddler Pillow. She sent one for Lucas, and sweet mercy, the child loves his pillow. (True story - when he wakes up in the morning, I can often see him in the video monitor talking to the pillow.) Here's the video of Lucas seeing the pillow for the first time. It was love at first sight. Don't think pillows are an exciting and fun gift for a kid? Lucas begs to differ...



There are a bunch of different adorable fabric options for the pillowcase, so you can definitely find one that your child will love. Both the pillow and the case are machine washable and dryable (is that a word? Let's say it is,) and the pillow doesn't get all weird and lumpy in the washer and dryer. (And if you've ever had a child who coughed so hard while in bed that they threw up all over their bedding, you know how important it is that everything in the bed is machine washable. I mean, not that I'd know from experience or anything...)

The pillow before the washer and dryer (left) and after (right.) See? Not lumpy and weird!

It's flatter than a regular pillow so that your toddler or young child's neck won't be at a weird angle, even while sleeping on his/her belly, and it's small enough to not take up half of a crib or toddler bed.

Yes, he was really sleeping!

It's also a great size for older kids to take in the car on road trips, to daycare for naptime, or for sleepovers. The pillowcase is designed with an extra long flap so that your child can't easily remove the pillow from the case, and there are cases available in both flannel and smooth cotton. Every pillow comes with a case, and you can also buy extra cases so that you have a spare for a quick change after a random middle-of-the-night coughing fit. (Oh, is that still just my child?)

The Perfect Toddler Pillow sells for $33 (plus S&H), but from now through December 12, Sew Cinnamon is offering 10% off of any purchase of $33 or more* with the coupon code MORENAPS. Woo hoo! (The last day to order with guaranteed delivery before Christmas is December 12, so don't wait too long to order.)

ANNDD... one lucky reader will win a Perfect Toddler Pillow of your choice! (You'll get to choose from the pillows that are available in the shop when you claim your prize.)
