Pillow Pets. Any of your dc have them and love them or are they a gimmick?

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

Just that really. Keep looking at them as an option for 5yo DD1.

No he doesn't use it as a pillow, but other friends have regular pillow pets and they don't use those as pillows either really! You could use the non plastic side I suppose... I like it anyway because it means he doesn't wake me up as often in the night. Pillow pet makes quite soothing light.

DD(11) has one and I got my DN(6) one last Christmas. They both love theirs.

I'm getting DH one for Christmas as a joke , because he's always moaning about not having enough pillows in the hotels he stays in!!

Ds1 has the dog it is named fluffy he is 10.

I was wondering if she was a bit old for it but it almost looks like she's too young! Am definitely going to get one though.

My ds(4)has two, the elephant and the dog. He loves them and does use them as pillows.

mine have them (3 and 6) and love them.

I saw scooby doo ones for £20 which I'm very tempted with but have 3 dc's so am trying to find decent £10 ones!

DS has been asking for one and he is 5. Might give in.

Home bargains have non branded ones cheap as chips, both my boys have asked for them for christmas- result!

My dd has a Toothless one. ( dragon from How to Train Your Dragon).

My dd has a lion one and a ladybird one, she saved up and bought them with her pocket money.

She loves them

They came from Argos and I would say are worth getting, she has taken them to sleepovers, on holiday and they are useful on long car journeys to lean on.

Dd is 7yo.

Thanks mittens!

My DD (2) has the pillow pet and the pillow pet blanket, she likes the pillow pet but LOVES the blanket.

Have got my 2 the light up ones for Christmas, they have fake cuddleupit blankets and love them.

My DD (3) has four!!

My parents, my best friend and us all bought her one last Christmas...

Then last week she fell asleep in the trolley at sainsburys and looked so uncomfortable I picked one up to put under her head on the handle and she dribbled so I felt compelled to buy it!

She loves them, tries to sleep on them all at once

these are on groupon for £13.99 at the moment

I had a look at the ones in Sainsburys and they're very little. Are they mini ones or are they all like that? For some reason I thought they were bigger!

Ive bought a Unicorn and Hippo for DD's 5 and 3 for Xmas. From Sainsburys for 9.99 each.

Also spotted them in 'The Entertainer' today for £10 too. if that helps anyone.

DD's both got Cuddleuppits from the grandparents at xmas and they love them too.

DD has this one unicorn it's a good size and very soft! she also has a blanket with a dog head and paws attached which she loves.

Both still going strong after a few machine washes since last Christmas.

We bought D's the Scooby doo one for Christmas, it looks fab.

OMG they do a Gunnersaurus :o

my DC (3,6,9yrs) all got the cheap ones last Christmas - they've lasted fine and have been VERY well used (they have them on top of their real pillows). We also love STOMPEEZ - the pop up slippers, thought they'd be a gimmick but they're so fun !!

Thank you! That was my next question. DD1 has seen an advert for some funky slippers, anyone know what they're called? Except I couldn't remember enough about them to describe them!

7 and 5 yr old DSs love theirs (bought them for me and they kidnapped them humph!)
