OleanderRain Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) I'm getting ready to get my daughter a pillow pet for her birthday, she's been asking for one for almost a year now! Has anyone used www.pillowpetsontv.com ? I don't want to get scammed so I'd like to hear about any positive or negative experiences you've has with this website or the one you used. TIA!

silliness7 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I'm eyeballing the ladybug for my dd for Christmas. Our Walgreens has them. I haven't had experience buying them online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vida Winter Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I got one from Amazon.com. My 6yo daughter loves her unicorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 :lurk5: I'm being forced to purchase 4 of these pillow monstrosities, also. I saw them on Amazon, but the prices were shady. Any personal experiences would be great. I don't want to have to buy them in a dark alley somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingersmom Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Have you checked your local mall? All of the malls by me sell them. We now have a dolphin and purple rabbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Yeah, they're at our mall, too. I'm with my kids 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so I have to buy our Christmas presents online. :nopity: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathmom Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I think I'll be buying 3 of these soon. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 The mall near us has a stand in the middle of the mall. However, if I were to buy something like this, I'd be purchasing one of these: http://www.zoobies.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleanderRain Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 I remember everyone saying that the ones at the mall are fakes. I checked with the people working at the kiosks and they are not the My Pillow Pets brand. Also they are much more expensive than online. If anyone sees the advertisement on television take note of the website and post it here, pretty please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrganicAnn Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 We have 2 real pillow pets (ladybug and chocolate moose) and one fake one (tiger). You can really tell the difference. The fake ones just are not made as well as the real ones. I think you buy the real ones at pillowpet.com There are 2 sizes of real pillowpets, so pay attention to size when you compare prices. Also there have been shortages of some types and so the people who speculate in these things will try to drive the price up. My DD is saving her pennies to buy her next pillowpet. With all the stuffed animals she has, the pillowpets are the only things she cares about. Its a pillow Its a pet Its a pillowpet. cha cha cha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I do a search I click on pillowpet.com or whatever website it is and I'm redirected to a similar named website. I'm afraid I'm going to give my info to a website that's not legit.

OrganicAnn Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I looked on my daughters and it said 'MyPillowPet' when I went there I was redirected to trypillowpet.com They looked like official pillowpets on that website. But you can also go through amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda in FL Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 LOL - I've never heard of these, yet we were at Walgreens today and my 7 yo was snuggling with the ladybug on the bottom shelf!! When I told him to come along - he says. "I'm not leaving till you buy me this!!" (Of course - I said forget it) I guess he knows whats hot!!

If anyone sees the advertisement on television take note of the website and post it here, pretty please. My kids didn't care what they got - they were happy it was pillow pet-ish. Walmart sells them for $20 - 3 have "real" pillow pets and one has a knock-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone used www.pillowpetsontv.com ? I don't want to get scammed so I'd like to hear about any positive or negative experiences you've has with this website or the one you used. TIA! Yes, that's where we got ours. I ordered in late October and it took a couple of weeks, if I recall. I believe it took longer than I expected, but I don't remember how long they said it would take. Also, there was a discount for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th... that didn't show up on the email confirmation. I emailed them back about it, and they said it wasn't charged to my card (and it wasn't). ETA: we have the unicorn and dolphin (large size) Edited March 5, 2011 by gardening momma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 We got a zoobie a few years ago before the pillow pet craze. It is great, and they have so many cute ones now. There was pretty much just the alligator when we got it. It is great for traveling. We unzip and take out the blanket and then stuff dd coat into the pet so we have a pillow and a blanket.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the gas station convenience store at this rate... :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Kohls.com for $16.99, shipped (with coupon). I have a unicorn and DD has a dolphin. DH rolls his eyes at both of us. Go through Mr Rebates and you'll get an additional rebate. http://www.mrrebates.com?refid=56649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs_JWM Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 The Ace Hardware in our neighborhood has them. When I saw them, I said to the manager, "Umm...really? You're a HARDWARE STORE - why do you have these?" My 5-y-o runs up and squeals, "PILLOWPETS!!!" He did finger guns at me and deadpanned, "That's why." Those Zoobie things are freakin' adorable, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 We ordered from MyPillowPets because the one dd wanted--cat--was one we couldn't find in any of the stores around here. Shipping is pricey but she had Christmas money. She's now saving up for a unicorn and I've seen them at a couple different stores locally, which will save a bunch--lower price plus no shipping.

tkeller Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 DS got a knock off mall version for Christmas and he loves it. It is his beloved monkey pillow buddy. (There's a tag on it, and he can read so he knows but doesn't care). However the pillow got two holes and the tail fell off within two days of him having it. He wasn't rough with it at all, it was just not made well. I sewed the holes up but my cat got to the tail so we have a tail-less monkey now, lol. There are now two DIFFERENT holes on it that I have to sew up. Two of the kids I babysit and a bunch of DS friends have the real deals and have never gotten any holes. I wouldn't waste your money on the knock offs, and go for the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrystal Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 We got ours at Wal-Mart for $19.88. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 That's the official site. Some of the new pillowpets can only be purchased on line. My DD is getting the purple lady bug for her birthday. We also have one knock off pillow pet. It isn't as soft and it required sewing up in a few places within a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtney.byrum Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Both mine wanted them for Christmas this year - I bought one at Target (penguin) and one at Bed Bath and Beyond (unicorn). Had BB&B had the penguin I would have bought both there as I used the $5 off coupon so only had to pay $15 - they were $20 at Target/WalMart. They are adorable and my son plays with his far more than my daughter - which is a huge surprise as she adores all stuffed animals and he has a select few he loves to death.

gardening momma Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I just saw some "Pillow Petz" at the mall tonight. I didn't examine them closely, but from what I saw, they really don't look as well made as the originals. It's mostly the fabric that I observed as being not as good. I didn't pick any up to look at the seams (my kids were with me, and I was trying to pull them away :) ). I'm not a clothing or toy snob (I'll buy cheap or secondhand when I can), but going by what others here have said about how the knock-offs come apart at the seams, I'd get the real thing.

StinkyFace Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I had to buy 3 of them for Christmas. Kohls.com had/have them and with a coupon it was not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
