Personalized Pillows
Personalized pillows are the gift that gets hugged: a name, a photo, a pet portrait or a message that says "hug this until you can hug me," on the couch or bed they curl up on every night. Pick a design, add names, a short message or a photo, check the live preview, and we print it for you. You'll find throw pillows (many with the insert included), pocket pillows, custom-shaped photo pillows and cozy Christmas designs. Just need the cover for a pillow you already own?

Photo, Name or Message: How to Choose
- Photo pillows work best with a sharp, well-lit picture where faces are large. Close-ups beat group shots.
- Name and message pillows are the safe choice when you don't have a good photo. A short line reads better from across the room.
- Pet portraits turn a phone snapshot into a watercolor-style image, so even a casual picture looks like art.
What to Write on a Personalized Pillow
Keep it short and warm. Lines that work well: "Hug this pillow until you can hug me," "Sisters forever," "Official nap pillow," or "Reserved for" with their name. Add a date if it marks a first Christmas, a wedding or a move.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I put on a personalized pillow?
Names, a short message, dates and, on photo designs, your own pictures. Pet designs turn your pet's photo into a portrait, and custom-shaped pillows are cut around the face in your photo.
Is the pillow insert included?
It depends on the design. Products marked "Insert Included" come ready to use; others are listed as covers. Check the product title and options before you order.
Is a personalized pillow a good gift for someone far away?
Yes. "Hug this pillow" designs are made exactly for that: long-distance sisters, best friends, grandparents and couples. Add both names and it becomes the next best thing to a hug.
What photo works best on a pillow?
A bright, sharp photo where the face or pet fills most of the frame. Avoid dark or blurry pictures; the live preview shows how it will look before printing.
Do you have Christmas pillows?
Yes. Christmas movie watching pillows, pocket pillows and "Meowy & Bright" designs make cozy holiday gifts and couch décor.
