Pillow Pets Plush Dream Lites NightLite Rainbow Unicorn

$47.99

Like most of you parents, my daughter and I have seen the Dream Lite commercial on Sprout. And she wanted nothing more than a Dream Lite of her very own. However, I'm dubious of most items advertised on TV - especially those directed toward children. It seems like they are never as colorful, as bright, as cuddly as they seem on the commercials. And given the price of this item, I had to give it some serious thought.
Well, the Dream Lite was delivered today and tonight, she's sleeping soundly, her Dream Lite by her side - and she didn't stop smiling all evening. Obviously, she loves it.

Mom's point of view:
1) I was a bit dismayed by how long I was told it would take to ship. However, it came days earlier than they said it would.
2) Size - like some of the other reviewers, I can tell you that the size is a shock! They must have chosen very small children for that commercial, because these are tiny. I anticipated something the size of a normal pillow pet. To be fair, the product description says it's only 11 inches. However when you watch the commercial, these seem huge. Prepare your child for the actual size.
3) Brightness - in a darkened room, the colors are very bright and vibrant. It actually looks as vivid as it does on the commercial. No disappointment here at all! In the case of the brightness and how great the stars look, the commercial is absolutely accurate. And the bigger the room, the bigger the stars. It's really quite impressive.
4) Cuddliness - at first you might think that the plastic panel on the back would be too hard for a good cuddle. My daughter would disagree. Definitely cuddle-worthy!
5) Price - I still think it's overpriced. While I don't regret the purchase, it's one for a special gift - birthday or Christmas. As an everyday buy, it's pricey.
6) Improvements - I would love this to have soft music or nature sounds, but that's just a personal preference. :-)
All in all, though I still wince at the price, I'm glad I made the purchase.
