If you've got a side-sleeper on your gift giving list this year, treat them to the gift of comfort with the Scrumptious Pillow from Honeydew Sleep Company!

The Scrumptious Side Sleeper Pillow was specifically designed to stop neck pain at the source. It's unique design provides perfect alignment and support for your body.

Stuffed with Scrumptious Fill, Scrumptious Pillows feel deliciously soft, yet are incredibly supportive. The foam component of the fill is 100% CertiPUR-US certified Copper infused foam. Copper is far more effective at cooling than gel based memory foam, and has naturally antibacterial properties, which helps keep your pillow fresh night after night.  All this means you sleep cool and comfortably all night long.  These pillows fit in a normal pillcase, but Honeydew Sleep Company also offers fitted pillow cases for this unique side sleeper design.

Just in time for holiday travel, Honeydew Sleep Company has a travel size side sleeper pillow!  

Just like the full size, but will a smaller footprint, this is your favorite travel pillow ever!

#HolidayGiftGuide - Creative Socks For a Good Cause with John's Crazy Socks!

 *DISCLOSURE* Thank you to John's Crazy Socks for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

We think colorful socks always make a great gift idea, but when the socks support a great cause, we are even more excited to share them!  John's Crazy Socks do just that.  They offer a fantastic selection of awesome socks and they give back to a ton of different causes including the Special Olympics.  John's Crazy Socks is the brainchild of John (who has Down Syndrome) and his dad.  Working together, they built John’s Crazy Socks into the world’s largest sock store. More than half their colleagues have a differing ability and every day, John and Mark work to show what people with differing abilities can accomplish.

Check out a few of our favorite giftable socks from John's Crazy Socks:

Cupcake Crew Socks

Cupcakes are muffins that believed in miracles and these socks are simply adorable!

Down Syndrome Awareness Socks Unisex Sock

These Down Syndrome Awareness Knee High Socks were created to honor all people with Down syndrome. The sale of these socks also help fund Down syndrome causes as they donate 10% from every sale to the Association for Children with Down Syndrome (ACDS) and the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS).

The sock has a multi-color icon of 3 ❤️ 21.  The 3-21 represents both World Down Syndrome Day (March 21) and the extra chromosome that people with Down syndrome carry. Most of us are born with 23 pairs of chromosomes, but people with Down syndrome are born with a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21, thus 3-21.

Book Shelf Women's Crew Socks

The cute and cozy socks are perfect for the booklover, teacher or librarian on your gift list!

Grab a pair of John's Crazy Socks to stuff in a stocking or grab a few pair to create a fun-loving gift for pretty much anyone on your list this year.  With so many styles and sizes to choose from at affordable prices, you are sure to find something for everyone!
