One of the (many) things I missed being able to eat while pregnant was sushi — I mean real sushi with the raw fish and not the placate-the-craving-with-the-cooked-stuff kind that I was able to eat. Though, I do have to say that the Dynamic Rolls and some of the other special Maki at Sushi Time on Queen St. in Toronto are really freakin’ good.

But I digress. This post is supposed to be about some cool sushi-inspired pillows. My brother and sister-in-law recently purchased these pillows and apparently they’re just as cool in person.

The pillows are made by Cindy Tomm and Mel Maghuyop and sold on their site. These original sushi pillows make a good I-heart-sushi gift :), especially when they’ve got a fall sale going on.

My favourite is the Ebi Nigiri, for the shape of the shrimp ($35 US). (Yes, I realize this is a ‘cooked’ sushi — the eating and the pillow-thing are different).

The rolls are pretty cool too.
Like this ‘Flat California Roll’ ($36):

You can see the full catalog here, and then go out for sushi.
