Print-making site SnapBox uses its background in fine art reproduction to deliver high-quality, affordable prints for consumers. It started in 2012 with simple framed canvas prints and expanded its offerings last year to include fine art paper and peel-and-stick fabric posters. Now, it’s added pillows to the mix.

For $35, you can take your favorite photos — whether they’re from your phone or camera — and have them printed onto a high-quality sueded 18×18 pillow.

To test it out, I used a 3-megapixel picture taken with a Galaxy S5 and the results are impressive. It is, however, a one-sided print: the back is a neutral beige color.

Snapbox certainly isn’t the only printmaker to offer pillows, but the quality here is excellent, they’re completely machine washable without damaging the print and filled with 100 percent allergy-friendly fiber.

If you’re struggling for a Mother’s Day gift, it’s a quick and easy option that can be handled entirely from a phone or tablet. Snapbox will even show you a proof of what it’ll look like before you order. Plus, the pillows are manufactured at one of three US facilities and ship just a few days after you order.

I wish life could be simple. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. When it comes to Apple’s iPad lineup, which used to have just one model called the “iPad” back in the day, picking which one to buy has become a strangely entangled process. Somewhere between every single model Apple offers is the perfect iPad, …
