MacRumors Giveaway: Win an Apple-Themed Plush Pillow From Throwboy

[MacRumors]

For this week's giveaway, we've once again teamed up with Throwboy to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win one of Throwboy's plushes modeled after classic Apple products and icons.

Throwboy makes a whole range of different plush pillow options priced at $30 to $40, with each one designed to look like an Apple product of some kind, including classic Macs, the iPod, the iPhone, and more. Each pillow features detailed embroidery and careful construction to highlight each component and to accurately represent Apple's designs.

The 1998 pillow, for example, is modeled after Apple's original iMac with its bright Bondi Blue design, while the 2001 pillow modeled after the original iPod comes complete with a screen and click wheel embroidery.

The 2007 pillow looks like the original iPhone with black bezels and a silver backing, and the Icon Pillow looks like Apple's classic happy Finder icon.

There's even a rainbow-colored Spinning Wheel Pillow that's designed to look like the dreaded spinning pinwheel that the cursor morphs into when an application is busy.

All of Throwboy's plushes are soft, squishy, huggable, and the perfect accent piece for an Apple fan. Each pillow is the ideal size to be used as a comfortable throw pillow for a couch or a chair. Photos of the pillows in action can be seen on Throwboy's Instagram account.

We have 10 of Throwboy's pillows to give away to MacRumors readers, and each winner will be able to pick their favorite pillow: iMac, iPod, classic iPhone, Finder Icon, or Spinning Wheel.

Finally a new Mac without issues 😆

Q-6

Ok.. the marketing team needs to pay more attention to detail. Why the heck is a model holding the spinning wait cursor looking at a watch that isn't an Apple Watch. That was the first thing I noticed.

Because he paid for the Rolex, but couldn't afford a Mac, hence the Mac-themed pillow.
#logic.

Is that what they call an iMac "soft" re-boot

Why aren't the winners of these giveaways ever posted as part of the widget? After the contest is over the widget should display the winner's names. The gleam widget has that functionality, but when I go look at old giveaways, it just says ended.

Wait. A $40 pillow that looks like it was made by a 7 year old? Sounds promising.

I won a USB hub once.

Not for the UK . Shame.

Why the Finder app icon looks the way it does?

Why the Finder app icon looks the way it does?

It's missing a darkened outline between the blue and white face.

 

[ScreenSavers]

I've always wanted some of those but can't bring myself to waste the money on them. Maybe now I'll get one? Not sure which one I'd chose though...

 

[tigres]

Was going to buy 4. Then the shipping was 25$. So I moved on

I won a Mous case from a previous MacRumors giveaway. It was seamless and legitimate. MacRumors is good people

 

[Macbookprodude]

I find this offensive to those who still use PowerPC macs in the PowerPC mac forums. Though i have a Mac Pro and a 2 intel machines, most of my work I do is on PPC.

I bought the iMac G3 pillow via their kickstarter and am very happy with it. I’m still a sucker for the original iMac after all these years...
