What it is:
A cunningly cute boudoir pillow, printed with helpful hints for husbands and wives on how to maintain a harmonious home.
Why we love it:
Hey, marriage is a tricky gig. It's no small feat to live peacefully with the same person, year after year. It requires patience, love, and a commitment to fair play on all sides. Even the very best of relationships could occasionally use a small reminder here and there about how to treat each other. If you're going to give one, best to give it before it's truly needed, and in a format that will be fun for all. So, this light-hearted and clever reminder of what every good spouse knows should do the trick. The Husbands and Wives boudoir pillow is absolutely fun, prodding us to remember our duties in the gentlest of tones, with such notes as "do not require a request to be repeated" and "never make a remark calculated to bring ridicule upon the other." All very good advice indeed, and printed on this charming pillow that can be left out conspicuously should anyone be in need of a little reminder.
Who we'd give it to:
Newlyweds and Oldlyweds, anyone who could use a reminder of gentility and fun in their marriage.
