24 Gifts of Pittsburgh: Pretzel Hug Pillow

pittsburgh-gift-pretzel-hug-pillowThe 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:

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.
