How would you react if you got a red singing plush heart as a present? I would be scared, then I would question the sanity of the gift-giver.
The I LOVE YOU Music Pillow is incredibly cheesy. Do people still fall for big red hearts? I would’ve thought that trend had passed.
But to be fair, except for the horrible looks, this can be quite useful. I can’t fall asleep if there’s not some music playing in my bedroom, and when I don’t have a radio I sleep with headphones on. Pretty uncomfortable, as you might guess. This pillow allows you to connect your mp3 player to its speaker and listen to music without earbuds poking your ears.
Also, the last line in the product description is so bad it’s good: “Get one for your lover and let him or her sleep with your love.”

Space Invaders is having its 30th birthday and all sorts of anniversary merchandise is popping up. Since Invaders was one of the first games I ever played (and one of its more modern incarnations kept me entertained on my mobile phone), I have a soft spot for it.
The Space Invaders Pillows remind you of the old days of gaming and can be a (relatively) subtle way of telling guests you are a gamer. (What’s a non-subtle way? Having three cupboards full of movie miniatures, one housing a collection of consoles plus game posters on every free piece of wall. Which is called “taking it too far”.) It can also help keep a happy couple environment - you can just tell your girlfriend/wife it’s a decorative pillow and that its presence ensures the absence of some of the above-mentioned things.

Music plays an important part in our lives. Some, like me, prefer having a soundtrack even when sleeping. While my choice is much simpler, a radio, various companies produce all sorts of devices meant to make listening to music at night easier.
But the Music Pillow doesn’t convince me. It’s a (hideously colored) inflatable pillow that connects to your mp3 player and plays the music through embedded speakers. One problem is that it needs 4 AAA batteries to work… so you’d need to remember to recharge them everyday.
The other problem is that I don’t see why I would buy it. For the same price, I can get a pair of generic speakers that can I can plug into an outlet, and still use my comfy pillow. I also don’t see the point of the hole in the middle. Is it for my head? It is for my ears? I could really use a pillow with a hole like that for when I want to listen to music on my headphones, for example when I’m sharing a room with someone who wants quiet. But in this case? I don’t get it.
