California Entrepreneurs Sell Heart-Shaped Gifts for Soldiers

May 23, 2012 - PRLog -- One of the most emotionally-trying times someone can experience is when they have a family member, friend, or significant other deployed overseas. These deployments can last a few months or over a year, and for those back home trying to stay in touch with soldiers who are abroad, things aren’t always easy. Kathy Farace and her business partner, two California residents and the owners of a business called Inseparable Treasures, came up with the “A Piece of Me” exchange heart pillows as a way for people to stay symbolically connected to their loved ones serving in the military.

The exchange heart pillows are at first connected in the shape of a heart by a tie on the front of the pillow. When the time comes for a soldier to be deployed, the two halves of the heart pillow can separate, and each person can keep a half.

“It’s a way for two people to be reminded about the bond that they share, despite the distance that might separate them,” said Kathy Farace.

For those who want to send something special along with their soldier, each half of the heart exchange pillow has a built-in pocket that is perfect for candy, trinkets, and more. Stuffing the pocket with something your recipient loves is a great way to make the pillow even more personal.

The pillows are very popular as gifts for soldiers. One customer stated, “Inseparable Treasures exchange heart pillows were the perfect idea to keep my husband close to me when he left for Iraq! I felt like I always had a piece of me with him, no matter where he was!”

“We’re happy that the exchange pillows can help people feel closer to one another,” Farace added.

Inseparable Treasures sells its unique line of exchange heart pillows on its website, http://www.inseparabletreasures.com. You can choose from a variety of different heart colors and patterns to find the one perfect for your situation.
