Lovin’ the Poofin!
It’s part pillow, part plush and part collectible. Poofin (www.poofin.com) is a super soft, star-shaped pillow with a hollow center where kids can stash plush charms that reflect their personality … everything from their favorite foods, to what they want to be when they grow up. And very soon, Poofin will let you, or your child, design your own soft charms. Perfect, perhaps, for a parent who is traveling and wants to tuck a special note or photo in her child’s pillow while she’s gone.
