I'm honestly not sure. It looks like it's just a pillow with an iron-on transfer. Either way, whether professionally done or not, it's a pillow. I'm not a spoiled sport... but come on. Really? What about our annual I-Mockery Secret Santa event screams "I WANT TO SEND SOMEONE A PILLOW"? Much less, why would I want a pillow with my own face on it? Why would I want to look at myself? I know what I look like! I let my girlfriend open the package it came in (I was driving at the time). Her immediate response? "Damn, that's just CREEPY."

It's really just a great big turn off and makes me reconsider my participation in the whole event.

I get you, I really do....but it's a secret santa, you gotta expect random stuff. it's not going to be that fun of an event if we start making lists of items people cannot send. and nowhere in the rules does it say you have to send more then one item.

I mean yes. a pillow. but I don't think we should be jumping on who ever was your secret santa.

I agree with Thanos, a pillow with your face on it is a pretty creepy gift, especially from some random internet person.

I don't think a pillow would have been a bad gift. A personalized pillow with something awesome that the person likes wouldn't have been a bad gift.
but your own face on the pillow? That's not right.
