Valentine’s Day Pillow Pets Review and Giveaway

February 13, 2011 By


It’s a pillow, it’s a pet, it’s a Pillow Pet!  Created by a San Diego mother of two, Pillow Pets are the super-soft, cuddly stuffed animal with a velcro tab that turns it into a super-comfy pillow.  Kids love them!

My Pillow Pets started out as a collection of six animals and has expanded to more than thirty, including zoo, jungle and farm animals as well as cats and dogs. For Valentine’s Day, My Pillow Pets created the adorable Valentine’s Luv Pup and Luv Kitty.  Luv Pup has a heart for a nose and hearts under her ears, and both Luv Pup and Luv Kitty have hearts dotting their bellies. Both are made from ultra-soft chenille that is machine washable.  A velcro strap on the underside transforms them from a pillow to a pet and back in seconds! Perfect for naps, car rides, plane trips, or just lounging around.

Kaitlyn was so excited when My Pillow Pets offered to send her either a Luv Pup or a Luv Kitty for this campaign. She chose Luv Pup and he has a permanent place at the foot of her bed. He also sat at the kitchen table with her while she signed her preschool Valentines!

    Hershey’s Makes Valentine’s Day Extra Sweet

    February 10, 2011 By

    For me, Valentine’s Day is all about chocolate, and especially Hershey’s chocolate.  In fact,  according to a poll done for Hershey’s last year, more people want Hershey’s for Valentine’s Day than flowers or jewelry. Hershey’s has lots of options for sweet gifts, in festive wrappers and packaging. For school Valentine exchanges, Hershey’s offers Snack-Size Treats in NEW Cookies ‘N’ Crème, Hershey’s Kisses, and Kit Kat Wafer Bars.

    For gift-giving, Hershey’s has really outdone themselves with their Valentine’s Day Collection. Some of the many Hershey’s chocolates available in special holiday packaging include:

    * Hershey’s Kisses Brand Milk Chocolates wrapped in pink, red and silver foils
    * Hershey’s Kisses Brand Milk Chocolates with Almonds wrapped in red and gold foils
    * Hershey’s Kisses Brand Milk Chocolates Filled with Caramel in pink foils
    * Hershey’s Kisses Brand Special Dark Mildly Sweet Chocolates in red and purple foils
    * Hershey’s Kisses Brand Milk Chocolates Filled with Cherry Cordial Crème in pink foils

    Those looking for heart-shaped, ready-to-gift options need to look no further. Hershey’s offers an array of beautifully decorated Valentine’s Day-themed boxes featuring both classic and premium favorites, including:

    * NEW – York Dark Chocolate Covered Peppermint Pattie Hearts
    * NEW – Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures Heart Box
    * NEW – Hershey’s Kisses Brand Milk Chocolates Heart Box
    * NEW – Hershey’s Pot of Gold Truffles Collection Red Checkered Heart Box
    * NEW – Hershey’s Pot of Gold Premium Collection Red Swirl Heart Box
    * NEW – Hershey’s Pot of Gold Truffles Milk and Dark Chocolate Gold Swirl Heart Box

    Hershey’s sent me some treats to review, and although I tried to keep them hidden, the kids figured out where they were pretty quick. It doesn’t take long for chocolate to disappear in this house!  We enjoyed a bag of Hershey’s Kisses in pink, red, and silver foils, a bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter Hearts, and a package of snack-size Kit Kats.  Now I’m just hoping that my husband surprises me with a Pot of Gold Heart-Shaped Box for Valentine’s Day!
