Hmm? Did I hear you say you have way too much money? Might I recommend a bespoke embroidered pillow perhaps? It takes 4-6 weeks for delivery, so unfortunately it won’t work for this year’s Mother’s Day, but you can always keep in mind for next year.
A wonderful personalized gift to admire and remember. Send us your child’s drawing and we will embroider an exact replica of it on a 100% white cotton pillow case. White. Measures 12″ X 16″. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.
Measures 12″ X 16″
$795.00, Buy it here.

These stones by Ronel Jordaan seem to be quite a bit larger than the Felt Rocks by Molo, and they would be excellent cushions to add here and there around a living space. (I’ve listed links for two different retailers; whoever had the lower price got the link for that particular item.)
Socially conscious as well as gifted, Jordaan has set up a women’s workshop in Gauteng- Johannesburg-where her personally trained artisans transform interlocking fibers, made from 100% merino wool, into these freeform oversized “stone” floor cushions…Soft yet buoyant, the veined, smooth textured cushions can be arranged to support seat and back. Hand washable in cold water.
Small, 12″w x 14″d x 5″h, $245.00, Buy it here.
Medium, 16″w x 20″d x 12″h, $395.00, Buy it here.

I heart this embroidered pillow- for the script on front, yes, and also for the embroidery on the back (click on link to see detail).
Our over-sized Fair & Square pillow is an embroidered cushion in Chinese hemp. The cushion’s deco-design was developed by FairTrade Designers with inspiration from traditional ethnic chinese embroidery and Danish embroidered tradition with the ‘Home Sweet Home’ cushion, which carries a message that signals personal values.
Available in collegiate lettering or script.
The back side of each pillow is brightly embroidered with the name & hand print of the person who made it.
24″ x 24″

The pillow on the left reminded me of the Google News Cushion, but the font and words are completely different, so fair play…all that being said, it’s a heck of a lot more affordable.
