Press Release Body: MINNEAPOLIS, MN - OCTOBER 15, 2007 - PillowGram, the new
alternative to gifts of flowers and food, has added new details and options to

differently-patterned PillowGram options, which are created, customized with
individual messages, wrapped, and shipped anywhere in the U.S. for $39.99.

\"PillowGram\'s first 60 days have been busy and exciting,\" says founder and
proprietor Nancy Sundeen, \"Web shoppers are showing us with their orders that
PillowGram is a great alternative for thank-yous, congratulations, get-well-soon
greetings, graduations, military care packages, and all kinds of holidays such as
Mother\'s and Father\'s Day - and even Halloween.\"

New additions to the PillowGram site include:

. Over 30 New fabrics available to choose from on the PillowGram website
. New images added to the ever-growing gallery of popular PillowGram Greetings
ordered by customers
. Channel 12 Interview: Video of the site\'s first local news coverage
. Holiday \"Pick 6\" Package Promotion (order a PillowGram and receive 6 Holiday
PillowGram Pillowcases each with an embroidered Holiday Greeting for just $79.99).

And as Nancy points out, \"PillowGram Greetings are very affordable, too!\" The price
breakout and comparison below shows the value of a PillowGram Gift versus

* Compares four leading flower seller\'s sites

The company\'s unofficial motto is: Flowers wilt and lose their petals; balloons will
pop; and cookies, candy and fruit will get eaten - but a PillowGram is calorie-free
and lasts forever.

A PillowGram is a personalized keepsake with a message wrapped in a unique, designer
package. It is travel size (12\" x 16\"), and includes a decorative pillowcase that
has been machine embroidered. They make great pillows for cars, the bed, couch,
watching TV, reading, lower back support, overnights, camping, cabins, travel or
just being on display. The pillowcase is made of cotton and can be easily removed
for washing.

In recent years, products have already been donated to the Childrens Hospital of
Minneapolis; the Crisis Nursery in Savage, Minnesota; and a number of dog
associations, where they all received an enthusiastic response, which eventually led
to the launching of the PillowGram site.

Visit www.pillowgram.net to learn more, select pattern options, and find a gift for
that special someone today.
