Throwboy Dock Icon pillows


We're in the middle of gift guide season right now, but here's a gift that would fit great on any Mac user's list: Throwboy has designed a set of throw pillows after some of the Dock's most famous icons, including iTunes, iPhoto, Dashboard, and the Finder. They're 100% fleece, hand-crafted, and look cuddly as all get out.

Sure, a computer icon might seem like a strange thing to squeeze, but hasn't Finder been there for you in the worst of moments before? No reason that shouldn't remain the case outside the computer as well. You can pick up a pillow (for yourself or anyone else this holiday season) for $29 each, or $149 for the whole set. They ship in about 3-6 weeks, so there's no guarantee you'll get it by Christmas, unfortunately, but as their order page says "handmade takes a while."

Now, where can I get a set of dock icons that look like these pillows, just to close the loop.

I just ordered one of the pillows. Specifically, the Finder pillow...and it's for my uncle.
I really hope it gets here by Christmas. Oh, DEAR GAWD, PLEASE let it get here by Christmas.

Ha. The Finder has *caused* some of my worst moments. :-)

And on a serious note, I'm not sure if what he's doing is legal--using Apple's artwork like this. Try selling handmade, unlicensed Mickey Mouse pillows online and see how long you last.

Each pillow costs $29 and there are 6 dock icon pillows to collect. 6 times $29 equals $174.

Is there an actual icon set for this for OSX? Icons that look like pillows?
