Tips To Buy The Best Pillow Gifts
Pillow gifts are a perfect way to show someone you love and care for them. They are easy to make and can be personalized with a special touch that just says, “I care about you!” The best part is, you can use any old fabric that you have lying around the house. Pillows make a perfect gift for anyone on your list.
Tips to buy the best Pillow gifts
1. Flip a pillow over and look at the tag
Make sure that the pillow is not older than six months. The recommended time is three to six months. The filling will start to break down and become lumpy after a while.
2. Remove the pillow from its clear plastic bag, if it comes in one.
The bag can cause the pillow to grow mildew and get an unpleasant smell. If you are going to give this pillow as a gift, I recommend that you remove it from the clear plastic bag because some people are sensitive to strong scents and would not like your pillow after having been exposed to two or three weeks of plastic! Also, don’t keep pillows in a trunk for more than a day or two or they will begin to smell.
3. Look at the size of your pillow
Make sure that you choose a cover size that is similar in size to your pillow. This can be a little bit tricky because each manufacturer makes its pillows and covers differently.
4. Feel the fabric
Feel the fabric of your pillow cover to make sure that it is soft, durable, and nice to the touch. Don’t choose polyester fabrics or other synthetic materials; they are not good for to touch. Also, pick a vibrant color if you are giving this as a gift because you will want it to be noticed! Yarn-dyed fabrics are also a good choice for pillows because they have plenty of color choices and come in bright, rich colors. Keep in mind that thread count does not have an effect on the softness of your cover but it does have an effect on the durability and quality of the material.
