PILLOWGRAM AMPS UP WEBSITE

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – OCTOBER 22, 2007 – PillowGram, the new alternative to gifts of flowers and food, has added new details and options to www.pillowgram.net, the site the company launched in July. The web site offers 193 differently-patterned PillowGram options, which are created, customized with individual messages, wrapped, and shipped anywhere in the U.S. for $39.99.

"PillowGram's first 60 days have been busy and exciting," says founder and proprietor Nancy Sundeen, "Web shoppers are showing us with their orders that PillowGram is a great alternative for thank-yous, congratulations, get-well-soon greetings, graduations, military care packages, and all kinds of holidays such as Mother's and Father's Day – and even Halloween."

New additions to the PillowGram site include:

• Over 30 New fabrics available to choose from on the PillowGram website
• New images added to the ever-growing gallery of popular PillowGram Greetings ordered by customers
• Channel 12 Interview: Video of the site's first local news coverage
• Holiday "Pick 6" Package Promotion (order a PillowGram and receive 6 Holiday PillowGram Pillowcases each with an embroidered Holiday Greeting for just $79.99).

And as Nancy points out, "PillowGram Greetings are very affordable, too!" The price breakout and comparison below shows the value of a PillowGram Gift versus alternatives and demonstrates that PillowGram is not only a personalized, unique gift – it's a very cost-effective gift as well!

The company's unofficial motto is: Flowers wilt and lose their petals; balloons will pop; and cookies, candy and fruit will get eaten – but a PillowGram is calorie-free and lasts forever.

A PillowGram is a personalized keepsake with a message wrapped in a unique, designer package. It is travel size (12" x 16"), and includes a decorative pillowcase that has been machine embroidered. They make great pillows for cars, the bed, couch, watching TV, reading, lower back support, overnights, camping, cabins, travel or just being on display. The pillowcase is made of cotton and can be easily removed for washing.

In recent years, products have already been donated to the Childrens Hospital of Minneapolis; the Crisis Nursery in Savage, Minnesota; and a number of dog associations, where they all received an enthusiastic response, which eventually led to the launching of the PillowGram site.
