NES on our pillows isn't pain in our hearts

Given that they're 1) handcrafted, 2) video game related, and 3) on Etsy, you can bet these covers don't come cheap. Just one will cost you $40, although if you buy two you only have to pay $70. That's still an exorbitant amount of money for pillow cases, but at least there's a small deal involved.
We're also not sure how practical they are, since the design might make sacrifices in terms of comfort. If your NES nostalgia runs deeper than your concerns of practicality, though, then there's no doubt that these covers will make your pillows incredibly awesome. Also, the next time you get so frustrated with a game that you want to throw your controller, you can just beat up your doppelganger pillow instead.

The Amazon for the hand-crafter set.

If anything, having Videogame-related pillows, plushies and posters would be a clear sign that i'm no longer living at my parents'. They hate that stuff :P

What's with craft people selling this video game stuff at so high of a price? Pillowcases for $40, scarves for $150...Seriously, I'm quite crafty myself and I would never charge that much on Etsy.

Now Penguinotic needs to deisgn one for body pillows that's shaped like a Wiimote. That'd be awesome.

$40 for one pillow case? Cripes. I'll just take out some markers and draw an NES controller on a plain white pillow case for free.

$40 is not too much to pay for custom sewing. Surely that pillowcase took a few hours to make...just cuz you're a cheapskate doesn't mean it's not worth $40.
