Who should you give a new pillow to and how?

Giving and receiving gifts characterizes the month of December. How can you create joy for the recipient and excitement for yourself? You want the gift to be a 10/10 in the eyes of the recipient, because that's how you treat yourself.

Sleep Angels share some recommendations on how to approach it, what exactly to give, so that the gifts are practical and sustainable. All this while improving the quality of your sleep.

Let's start with children. Will a new pillow make a child happy?

As usual, the family longs to find small toys, colorful books, experiences from the water park or theater under the tree. But when they see a new pillow, the question arises: what to do with it... I already have one in my bed?

1. Previous elf letters, which explain, for example, the nature of good sleep or the importance of a sleeping environment, help to make getting a new pillow an important topic. If the elf says that the bed could have a pillow that can be easily cleaned if necessary or a pillow that he (the elf) can comfortably lie on because it is so fluffy and soft, the gift has a completely different meaning.
2. A dramatic loss, destruction of a pillow, or an accident in the washing machine can make the situation exciting and the need for a new pillow important. A new, fresh pillow found under the tree in the evening or coming from a big gift bag brings a good feeling.
3. Making a gift list together and thinking about each wish can help you understand that another doll or car may not bring you the same happiness and joy as the one you already have. Talking about a bad dream and seeking relief from it can lead to the topic of whether the pillow supports sleep and maybe you need a new one with only bright and beautiful dreams inside?

Companion, friend, sibling, mother-father, mother-in-law?

The most critical target group of gift recipients. To avoid disappointment, “oh, I’ve slept with a memory foam pillow so far, but I’ll try this softer microfiber one” or “I sleep on my stomach and need a very low pillow, this one seems too high…”, the easiest way would be to give a gift card. But will this piece of paper make you happy? It may not, and that’s why we recommend wrapping the gift card in a new, fancy pillowcase with the following message: “There’s one more component of good sleep missing – PADI. Choose a pillow that suits your sleeping position and wake up like a superhero every morning – full of action, energy and good thoughts, because quality sleep brings all of that.

Another clever solution for giving a pillow as a gift is to send it to or take it with you to, for example, the WASA resort hotel in Pärnu, where you can choose a SleepAngel pillow from the pillow menu to try out. There are different ones to choose from, so you can test and understand which pillow supports your sleep and suits your sleeping position, and you can even take several of them to bed if available.

You can sleep with SleepAngel pillows:

WASA resort (ask for different options on the pillow menu)
Mäetaguse Manor Hotel SPA (in premium rooms)
Vihula Manor (specify when booking)
NIGHTS IN HOTELS (request when booking)
Kajamaa Holiday Home (SleepAngel mattresses and microfiber pillows in all beds)
Hektor Container Hotel (ask when booking)
Estonia Resort Hotel & SPA (suites have a QR code referring to the pillow menu)
Nest Hotel (specify when booking)
Arte Apartment
Nature BioSpa Bioclinic (in all rooms)

A kind of interesting approach, and why not give the gift of a hotel vacation for Christmas and then get a pillow for your birthday?

Grandparents, whose first reaction might be "what are you spending, I've had one pillow my whole life, I can still manage with it."

When the elf brings a book...

"Guide to Good Sleep" Kene Vernik
"Of the Brain and the Mind" Jaan Aru
"Why Do We Sleep? The Power of Sleep and Dreams" Matthew Walker
"Uneversum" Estonian Health Museum
"Under One Blanket" by Wendy M. Troxel

...then the new pillow brought by Santa Claus will no longer raise any questions.

Of course, gifts can also be combined and refreshed with knowledge from sleep. People have a habit of forgetting, clinging to their beliefs, being skeptical about change, but more information helps them move forward and adopt new practices. By educating your grandparents with innovative new things, you keep them young and fresh.

We hope you got some ideas on what, how and why to give as a gift. The best thing is of course to give yourself the gift of better sleep, so we recommend that you start with some sleep books, then visit a hotel to try out a SleepAngel pillow, and that way you can choose the right pillow to achieve the best sleep in the world and a better you!
