I would love to give this to my Mom Judy to have a little feminine touch in her very utilitarian house. Would be great to have something unique to give her for Christmas.

My sister Molly is still settling in to her new apartment. I think this would be a great housewarming gift for her.

My sister Aunnie in Alaska just got a new bright aqua colored couch which was very out of character for her (buying actual new furniture instead of using cragislist and also the color choice was crazy). I'd like to win this super stylish pillow to encourage her to keep taking risks (at least where decor is concerned...)

This gift would be great for my artistically inclined friend Carmen, who's just out of college. The pillow is right up her alley, and would be such a sweet accent for her apartment.

This would be for Bethany, another family friend. Once when I was stranded in the phoenix airport she picked me up & let me stay at their house until my parents were able to drive to phoenix to pick me up. They are always so much fun!

I would give this to my friend Becca. She's just finished her MA and has moved into a tiny, undecorated apartment in Philly with her boyfriend, and shes having trouble finding a job, so as you can imagine, her apartment is still undecorated. I know she'd love this. <3

If there is one thing that my girlfriend Grace enjoys, it is pillows. Perhaps I am not meant to understand, but man, does she like crafty little pillows with fun designs. This little guy is definitely just her style.

My brother's fiance, Sheena, just moved into my brother's house and they've been trying to furnish and decorate it on a very strict budget. After all, they're saving every penny for the wedding! An accent pillow like this is so versatile, with the neutral coloring and minimal design -- they really could put it in any room.

My sister Melissa would love to have this pillow help furnish her new home.

My niece; Andrea, lost her best friend recently ~
Rosie, her 15 year old dog. Rosie was with her through
her divorce, struggling after to make ends meet and then for the good times ~ a new husband who is wonderful! Andrea enjoys decorating her home, but likes it simple.
This pillow would look great in their family room.
This won't bring Rosie back, but will bring a smile to her face. Thanks very much.....Cindi

My mom! She's re-doing her living room, very Eco-friendly like, and this would go perfect with her decor. And it's so festive, it'll be perfect for all those parties my parent throw!

I'd like to win this beautiful pillow for my friend Jenny. I think she would really appreciate it, and it would go so nicely in her living room.

I'd give this awesome pillow to my friend Karey. She and her boyfriend just bought a house this year and the pillow color would match her living room furniture perfectly! Since they're new home owners, money is spent on more important things than decorative pillows at the moment. I'm sure she'd love it!

Oh, this is so cute! My friend Christena just got her first apartment and this would look lovely on her couch - she loves cute things like this.

This pillow is perfect for my friend Teresa! She's been looking for work for way too long now and I think it would really perk her up to have someone do something sweet and unexpected for her. (Looking for work can be a real beat-down in this economy.)
