VALENTINES DAY GIFT IDEA Comment “GIFT” and I VALENTINES DAY GIFT IDEA  Comment “GIFT” and I’ll send you a direct message with the links to shop!  💕This heart pillow makes the perfect gift for friends and family - especially those who live far away! It’s like giving and receiving a hug!  💕The pillow is soft and the perfect size — making it a cute piece of decor on a couch or bed too.  💕The sweetest note is included that I think adds a personal and perfect touch! This pillow comes in plenty of pretty colors but they tend to sell out or colors get limited during Valentines Day.  💕But save this post for later because it makes a great gift throughout the year too.  It’s a perfect ‘just because’ or ‘thinking of you’ gift - or if someone close to you is going through an illness or tough time.  💕I’m about to put this one in the mail to someone special - and I can’t wait for them to get it! 🥰 And if you give this (or get this) pillow, I hope you enjoy too! 🫶  #valentinesgift #valentinesdaygift #valentinegifts #valentinegiftideas #valentinegiftsforher #valentinegiftidea #heartpillow #valentinesday #valentinesday2024 #valentinesdayideas
