Meet Karakiri, the Friendly Octopus Pillow

A short while ago, we were telling you about a manllow (half man, half pillow) in the shape of either Edward Cullen or Jacob Black of the “Twilight” films. Those who are not fans of the movies but would still like to have a pillow that makes those lonely nights seem, well, less lonely, now have another option in Karakiri.

Karakiri is billed as the “friendly octopus” and a “creature of comfort,” while also upping the cuteness factor tenfold. It is a pillow shaped like an octopus that can come in various colors and even models (which would make each Karakiri special in its own terms), and that basically embraces you as you sleep. You can lie on it and have its tentacles around you or you can watch TV and hold it by the… hand.

“Karakiri’s loving arm holds you when you sleep, Karakiri’s loving arm holds you even when you watch TV. Karakiri loves cats and nature and the cats love Karakiri. Karakiri matches every outfit. Karakiri is cotton for a lasting friendship with your skin. Karakiri can be any color you’d like. Karakiri is the right size for the perfect fitted personal embrace,” it is being said on the Karakiri official website.

Judging on pictures alone, indeed, this is one pillow that can’t but make a lasting impression. It can be either cute or dead serious, or simply just friendly. It can come in a bright red color or a simple grey that is not too tiring on the eyes. It makes for excellent “company” for a child or a pet, such as a cat, as the countless photos available online clearly show. At the end of the day, it can provide that sense of security that we might lack on occasions because we happen to be home alone – and not in the sense that Macaulay Culkin was “home alone.”

Pricing details and shipping conditions are available on the Karakiri official website or blog, where those interested in purchasing this “creature of comfort” can also see dozens of pictures of already happy owners.
