24 Gifts of Pittsburgh: Pretzel Hug Pillow

The Pretzel Hug Pillow is the huggable pillow form of my feelings for The Pretzel Shop, which is quite possibly one of my most favorite places in Pittsburgh for snacks. Since snacks are quite possibly my most favorite meal, that makes the Pretzel Shop my favorite food establishment in the City of Pittsburgh. The Pretzel Shop opened in 1927 and has been serving soft pretzels ever since.

One of my many tweets about The Pretzel Shop:

The Pretzel Shop. The best. #thisisPittsburgh pic.twitter.com/8PRSOHBjDB

Even better, this pillow is made right here in Pittsburgh by the artist duo Otto Finn. The pillow case is $45 or you can get the case with the pillow insert for $60.

Show Your Love for PGH by Shopping PGH this Holiday Season

Image by lil moe72 via FlickrOne of the easiest ways to support Pittsburgh is to spend your money locally. One of my hopes for this blog is to connect more people to the local businesses here in Pittsburgh. With the start of the holiday season, I can’t believe it is already the holiday season – I tried to ignore the robotic Santa Claus that started singing at Costco before Halloween was even here. But after stopping by the Shady Side Presbyterian Church Bazaar last weekend, I can no longer pretend that the Holiday Shopping Season is weeks away.

I know that holiday spending is down this year, but that makes it even more important to support the businesses that continue to do good things for the Pittsburgh community. Click here to check out the ShopPGH category and read about some of the other Pittsburgh businesses. We will also be featuring more ways to ShopPGH this season with a holiday gift guide look for the tag Holiday08.
