I'm Kicking of the Gift Guide With a My Pillow Pet - Review and Giveaway!

I wanted to kick off the Holiday Gift Guide with the hottest toy out there right now.  That's right - I'm talking about the My Pillow Pets.  If you don't have a clue what a My Pillow Pet is, than its quite obvious that you don't have kids.  My boys have been bugging me for a My Pillow Pet forever and I was so happy when I learned that I would be receiving one for review.  All three of my boys have been asking for one so to keep things fair I got one for the little one to review.  That way the older boys wouldn't fight about why one of them got it when the other one didn't.  Plus, my two year old really loves stuffed animals a lot, so I thought that he would be the most excited.

There are several different animals to choose from and it was really hard to pick out just one but my husband made the call and picked the Frog My Pillow Pet for Emilio to love on.  He was SOOO excited the day that it came.  Being that he's two he had no idea that it was coming so it was a complete surprise.  He kept saying, "Mommy got Pillow Pet for me?  Thank you mommy!", it was adorable!  My other boys were a bit green with envy so we had to make sure that they knew that we are planning on getting them their own for Christmas as long as they stayed on Santa's Nice List.  Check out how happy Emilio is with his new My Pillow Pet!

Emilio still dotes on his My Pillow Pet all the time!  He adores it and I have to say, I do too!  It is sooooo soft and cudly.  I have even used it as a pillow and I found it to be amazingly comfortable.  I love that the design allows for the user to play with it as a pet or use it as a pillow.  We have tons of stuffed animals at our house and I am so happy to have one that is functional as well as fun.  I love that I can store objects in it as well when the pillow is in Pet mode.  It makes it really useful for just a quick trip to grandma's house, I can shove an outfit in there and a couple diapers and we're good to go!

My favorite part, next to the fact that its washable, is the velcro latch that hold the pillow in Pet mode was very cleverly made.  When the My Pillow Pet is in Pillow mode the velcro is covered by a piece of fabric from the Pet. I have had ours for about a month now and the velcro still looks brand new.  It has not gotten filled with fuzz once!  This is so important in my opinion because it speaks to the longevity of the Pet part of the toy.  If the velcro gets damaged and filled with fuzz obviously it will not be able to close and become a Pet, it will stay a Pillow. I am confident that with this design the velcro will stay intact.

Our whole family loves the Pillow Pet.  My older boys have all ready picked out the ones that they want for Christmas this year.  Benji wants a T-Rex and Oscar would like the Comfy Panda.  To be honest, I thought that because they are older - 7 and 5 - that they would see Emilio's and the novelty would wear off.  Like I said, its been over about a month and they still both bug me all the time for their own My Pillow Pets.  To me that is the sign of great toy.  Which is why I think that this toy will be the most popular toy this holiday season.  Not only is it fun and functional but it is affordable too.  Its also a great gift for boys or girls of all ages.  

My best friend's daughter had a birthday a couple of weeks ago and she wanted a My Pillow Pet, so I bought her one because I knew how much my boys enjoyed theirs.  She wanted the purple Unicorn My Pillow Pet and I was lucky enough to get her awesome reaction to getting her My Pillow Pet on video.  She was so excited!!  I also gave her a Nano Bug which I stashed inside the fold of the My Pillow Pet but she didn't really even seem to care, it was all about the My Pillow Pet!
