Funny Throw Pillows and Giant Plushies
Rx: For the plush collector with no room left
A funny pillow is the rare gag gift that actually gets used every day. There's a giant dumpling, a set of dino nuggets, a pickle the size of your arm and a goose built for hugging. Pick one for the couch, a dorm bed or the friend who already has too many plushies.
