We’re leaving the mainland and heading for the islands for this week’s freebie giveaway. Well, I guess I don’t mean that literally (unfortunately) but we’re leaving it up to So’mace Lifestyle, a new design boutique in Honolulu, to bring the Hawaiian experience to all of us.
So’mace Lifestyle is a new gallery & shop spawned from a design service that started in 2004 by former New Yorkers Kaypee Soh and Edward Macey. The new boutique, which has a focus on sustainable and green design, is chock full of great art for your walls (wallpaper), for your floor (rugs), for your dreams (bedding) and- here’s where the prize comes in – for your sofa (pillows).
Kaypee Soh’s line of original pillows (view full collection here and here) is a mix of nature-inspired florals and graphic retro designs, all hand-printed in Washington state and hand-sewn in Hawaii. They feature 100% linen covers with a 20″ x 20″ feather/down and hypoallergenic insert. Plus, with two different, coordinated designs on each side, you can give your couch a fresh look just by flipping the pillow over. And one lucky reader will have the chance to do just that…
To win your choice of any one of the six pillows shown below, just comment on this post with the words “ALOHA” by Wednesday, February 18th at 8pm EST. And since Hawaii is such a popular honeymoon spot, we’d also love to hear where you went (or are hoping/planning to go) on your honeymoon. As you probably know, we actually left the lower 48 and headed the other direction for an Alaskan honeymoon. Not quite as warm, but it managed to be just as romantic.
So’mace Lifestyle will ship this great prize anywhere, so don’t hold back all you international pillow lovers! We’ll be picking one winner using random.org and announcing it later in the week as usual. Now, what’s Hawaiian for “good luck”?

Aah-lo-o-ha!
We ended up touring Boston, where we had free hotel nights and could afford to fly to during my husband’s spring break in grad school (could have stayed many, many other places, but with grad school bills, we could afford the airfare to other places at that point). It was chilly but still fun, we both enjoy history.
Laura says
ALOOOOOOOHA!
Hawaii is actually one of my favorite places to visit. If I could, I’d move there! One day… But for my honeymoon, I’d rather go somewhere new, where neither of us have gone. And that has yet to be determined! Aloha & mahalo!
Susan says
ALOHA
We went to Kauai! Lovely!
Julie says
“ALOHA” my best friend went to Hawaii on her honeymoon and I think I would give the pillow to her for her birthday in March.
Angela says
Aloha!
We got married in Maui and then spent our honeymoon 10 island hopping! We love Hawaii and try to make it there at least every other year!!
erin says
ALOHA!!
We honeymooned in Aruba (Dutch Caribbean), before Natalee Holloway disappeared and made the news. Before we went I knew nothing more about Aruba other than the Beach Boys song (“Aruba, Jamaica, oooh I wanna take ya…”). It was fabulous.
Cheryl says
ALOHA!! We spent our honeymoon cruising around the Caribbean on back to back cruises. The only downside was the cruise line leaving our luggage behind for the second half…oops!
Heather says
aloha! beautiful pillows!!
we went to Ireland in October, and it was so, so, so gorgeous – it didn’t rain at all. We drove around for a week, staying in a new place nearly every night. It was wonderful. And so perfect for us.
Dani says
Aloha!
We weren’t able to take a honeymoon after our wedding (less than four months ago), but we’re gearing up for an Ireland/Scotland trip with my Mom and cousin that we’re thrilled to bits over!
If money hadn’t been an object, I’d have loved a trip to the Greek Isles.
Alison says
ALOHA
No honeymoon, I’m single!
kristen w says
aloha! we hiked the grand canyon and then drove old route 66 all the way to beautiful santa monica…an amazing chance to see the states and pieces of history with the man i love.
Brandi U says
I’m originally from Hawaii and just returned from the islands last night, but never saw this boutique or gorgeous pillows! On our honeymoon, we travelled to Italy (Venice, Rome, Florence), Greece (Athens & Santorini) and 1 day in Paris. Aloha!
YoungHouseLove says
Um, wow. You guys are hot for some pillows aren’t ya? Then again, who can blame you. I wish we were eligible for the pirze.
But as you probably guessed – my comment marks the end of this giveaway, so thanks to everyone who entered, all 600+ of you! Keep your eyes peeled for the announcement of our winner later this week.

Keith says
Aloha,
I know I missed my chance to win a pillow. That’s okay, I live here in Honolulu and am a customer/fan of Kaypee, Ed and Isla’s.
My wife and I have purchased several pillows from So’Mace for our condo. They make such a dramatic impact without breaking the bank. As you noted, flipping them over changes the entire look and feel of the room.
Combine Kaypee’s prints with pillows for a complete island transformation.
“Aloha”.
