Santa Snugglily



Everyone loves something to cuddle. This very soft pillow toy is hand knit and would make a perfect gift for baby, toddler or a unique Christmas gift! 

The Santa Snugglily is shaped making the pillow easy to grip, but soft enough to place a sleepy head on, doubles as a soft toy and decorative pillow. The features are hand embroidered (no loose objects). Santa Snugglily is 100% acrylic, stuffed with polyester fiberfill and can be machine washed and dried on cool setting. Measurements are approx 15inches (38cm) high and 12inches (30.5cm). A great gift for anyone who loves Santa!
