Recently, I attended an Alive Magazine Blogger event at the BooCatClub lounge! There I met a plethora of amazing bloggers in St. Louis, and even more amazing businesses here in St. Louis!

One business, Throwboy, stood out to me. Their booth was covered in pillows! But not just regular sleeping pillows. They were emoji pillows!

As a blogger and professional texter, I immediately fell in love. So I had to learn more!

These amazing pillows are found at Throwboy.com

“As a child, Throwboy Founder and CEO Roberto Hoyos was taught to sew by his grandmother, a Peruvian seamstress. He made clothes for his toys in the attic, a cozy, fabric-filled room with a shag carpet.

In 2006, he hand-sewed 7 pillows shaped like Mac icons as a gift for a geek girl. The tech company she worked for blogged about them, and the post went viral. Roberto had the idea to create a unique pillow brand for people like himself who wanted to express their love for technology in their homes and lives, so he founded Throwboy to create fun, high-quality throw pillows based on pop culture.

Throwboy quickly grew from its roots in the online world, and has been growing ever since. Building a community worldwide through Twitter, YouTube and other sites, Throwboy found its niche and flourished.”

Throwboy: Happiness you can hold™
