jakesmommy403 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 My DS7 has asked for a pillow pet 2 Christmases in a row now. I think he only wants one because the commercial has brainwashed him, so I never bother with it. $20 for an animal-shaped pillow seems like a bit much to me. But now here we were again and it's on his list. If I get one for him I would also get one for his little brother or there would be pillow pet envy. So I have questions. 1. What are these "teenie" pillow pets I'm seeing with the purchase of a big one? 2. Do your kids have a pillow pet? If so, do they seem to really enjoy it or is it thrown in with the rest of their stuffed animals? 3. If I do get one, should I order it from the website or just see what the selection is at the store? Help. Thanks.
mom8w Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 I love the pillow pet my daughter got last year...soft and cute. There are dinosaur versions, as well as a dog, panda, frog...several that would work for boys. Also, you can find licensed pillow pets for sports teams or characters.
racerfan Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 My DD13 has the Dolphin. She LOVES it. She carries it is the car for long trip, she sleeps with it every night. I plan on getting a teeny one for her this year, plus getting 2 of the regular size ones for my yorkies as beds in the car They love to curl up on her dolphin.
mom2monkiesx3 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 I would have NEVER bought them off TV, both kids asked for them. I have two big rules with my kids....and one of those includes decorating..their room but MY house..things must coordinate. So fast forward. Mom got my youngest Texas Rangers "Captain" pillow pet for his bday to match his room...he LOVES it..sleeps with it everynight, carries it to sleepovers and has taken it to school on pj days....I still wouldn't have bought it but glad my mom did! The others are just a smaller/travel sized pillow ..they have them at target now if you can stop by and just check them out.
logn84 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 My 21 & 15 y.o. daughters both love their Pillow Pets. :)
vern28 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 i believe the teenie pillow pet is a keychain version, the middle sized is called pee wee pillow pets.
Illinoismom Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 my two daughters both have pillow pets the 24 yr old has a bears one and the 14 year old has Penelope she is a unicorn
sgoodhue Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 6 and 3yrs old kids have them. They sleep with them every night. They are super soft and just the right size for their pillow. I bought one on their website and one at Target. Same thing. Go with wherever you get the best deal. I am going to get pee wee's for the kids xmas.
sherri1480 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 My daughter has a collection of these (DH worked at CVS, they had an ample supply) and she takes turns sleeping with them every night. She takes them on long car rides and she takes one with her for sleepovers. They are all very soft and we have only had one problem with one, it was the special edition rabbit for Easter. One of the ears came off, we returned it and had no problems with the new one.
SuggaD Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 There was a deal this past week for $9.99 for the big one. Its sold out now, but keep an eye out as they are always on sale.
tinkrbel Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Amazon has several different ones at lower prices. I can't bring myself to pay that much for a pillow the kids may or may not like. My bff bought a set for her kids and I've never really seen them play with them PLUS they aren't in the kids beds either so I think she pretty much flushed $40 down the drain. I'd consider one ONLY if it was a child's favorite animal/character. Walgreens has $10 register rewards in their ad when you spend 30+ on pillow pets.
mamat2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 My daughter 11 and 17 love theirs and sleep with everynight. My 6 year neice has 2 ad she also sleeps with hers every night. If you want a rare pilow pet then get it online, but if not they always have them on sale in the store.
oandesmom814 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 My kids, 8 and 6 LOVE their pillow pets! I just ordered my daughter another one. Here's a sale http://www.survivingthestores.com/hot-pillow-pets-deal-as-low-as-10-22-shipped.html
Scruzin Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Both of my kids 8 and 5 have a pillow pet each and they love them. We have a dog and a unicorn and this year they want an Arkansas Razorback!
smurfgirl Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 My daughter has 4 of them and sleep with all of them every night. When we go to visit grandma she gets to pick one to bring on the plane. She loves them and so do I. They wash up really well.
Elmck Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 My DD has 3 reg size. I have gotten her a smaller one for this year and may get one more. She loves them and does use them.
Mandy25 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Try collections etc I saw several friends on facebook yesterday purchased the name brand ones for 9 or 10 dollars. Of course they may have sold out of them. I hope you find one.
nicole20 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 I bought both my kids the smaller version and keep them in the car. They both always fall asleep and these are great fro the car!
Dylansmommy Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Might want to check ebay and compare pricing. Just a thought...
Kibit13 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Sometimes I see them at stores like Ross and Marshals and they're a little less than Target.
dealluvr Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 i am over 50 and my friend sent me one cause i was feeling bad aand i ♥ it i got the moose
speeddiva Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 My DD has the dinosaur one. I got it @ JCPenney on sale & with coupon for $15. Mine is a Detroit Red Wings octopus
Rockfordmom Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 I wouldn't order them off the website, they are everywhere now, even Walgreens carries them. I even saw generic ones last BF.
pottsie66 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Two of my kids have them (one boy and one girl) and they LOVE them!
rocky41102 Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 My DD has the dinosaur one. I got it @ JCPenney on sale & with coupon for $15. Mine is a Detroit Red Wings octopus Where did you find the red wings one? I've got to get one! **Never mind, I found them online-just added to my Christmas list. My kids have pillow pets. They sleep with them but don't play with them a ton. They all want different ones this year. My 4 year old did get a pee wee shark pillow pet that he uses at preschool for naptime and he loves that one!
speeddiva Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Where did you find the red wings one? I've got to get one!I got mine @ Dunhams & I know Meijer has them too.
kansasteacher Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 I have the bumblebee pillow pet for myself, and I use it to rest my book/arms on while reading in bed. My boys each have one, and they are 5 and 8, and they LOVE them.
3Kids4Me Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 My 3 kids each got one for Christmas last year. The 9 yo and 7 yo girl liked them for about 2 weeks, now they occasionally sit on their bed or are thrown under it. My 4 year old little boy however LOVES his. He named it Mrs. Turtle. Mrs. Turtle, along with his blanket, come down the stairs with him every morning and return to bed with him every night. I bought a pee-wee Mrs. Turtle (Baby Turtle?) for him this year and he could care less about it - LOL! But heaven forbid, you forget Mrs. Turtle when you head upstairs to bed!
theboyzmom Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Saw the Red Wings Octopus at Target today and I think I saw it at Walmart last week....I really want one, but I do NOT want to pay $30 for a pillow
