Christmas was pretty great this year. My sister-in-law Katie gifted me some incredibly thoughtful stuff like a fancy stylus for my iTouch because I have fat fingers, a Bubble Wrap 2009 Calendar, the complete Little Britain series on DVD and my favorite gift of all - My Beating Heart .
It's a small fuzzy pillow in the shape of a heart and it has a tiny computer inside that mimics a beating heart. You turn on the pillow and it beats for 20 minutes and then shuts itself off. Every time you turn on the pillow, a different heart rhythm occurs. It's suggested that if you hold the pillow close to your own heart it will start keeping pace with the pillow artificial beat.
I've used it a few times and it's the most astonishing thing - it actually relaxes me. I find myself focusing on the vibration of the beating heart and before I know it, I'm out like a light. Complete relaxation.
I'm on vacation next week so I plan to do my share of heavy afternoon napping. You can bet this lovely pillow will be cuddled up against me along with Spencer and the fat beagle, of course.
I can't recommend this pillow enough. Valentine's Day is only a few short months away and I think this would be the perfect gift. Screw the box of chocolates. Give me this pillow and a package of 9-volt batteries and I'll love you forever.
