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”?
If you’re curious, you can get more details about our giveaways here. All images courtesy of So’mace Lifestyle and Kaypee Soh

My husband and I got married in Mexico and honeymooned there as well. We would have done Hawaii but it was so darn expensive. We hope to renew our vows there someday. I say five years because it’s sooner but he thinks 10 would be more appropriate. Heck, we should renew every five years. Great blog!!!!

Kim says
ALOHA!
My husband and I went to Montana…yes I said it, Montana. We are both avid snowboarders, but had not made it out to the Big Sky Resort. It was extremely romantic as we stayed outside the resort at the lovely Rainbow Ranch Lodge. We were the only people that that week, which was nice to have the outdoor hot tub all to oursevels. :-) We also went on a sliegh ride through the woods to a romantic dinner in a warm log cabin. Dog sledding, snowshoeing, snow mobiling and of course snowboarding were just some of the other activities we did. I loved our honeymoon trip to Montana!

Liv says
ALOHA!
My husband and I went to San Francisco, CA for our honeymoon. It was so much fun since I’d never been but he had. We didn’t rent a car or do anything major, we just walked around and window-shopped. It was a blast and the weather was perfect (which was great since our airport shuttle dropped us off at the wrong hotel and we had to walk for ages to get to the right one!)
Laurie says
ALOHA!
We cruised the Carribean and did a few days in Orlando and then the Doral Spa. It wasn’t Hawaii but it was heaven….until we make it to Hawaii!
Christan says
ALOHA!!
Love these pillows! I am getting married in June and don’t know where I am going on my honey moon! My fiance is planning it and is surprising me so I wont find out until we board the plane on June 14th! I’d love to go to Hawaii but if not…it would be nice to come home to these beautiful Hawaiian pillows!
Christine says
Aloha!
We went to the island of Maui for our honeymoon and it was absolutely wonderful! Neither of us had been to Hawaii before so we spent most of our time exploring the island. We can proudly say that we survived the Road to Hana! On a rainy day no less.
Heather says
aloha!!!
We went to Riviera Maya. It was hot, hot, hot in the middle of summer, so we spent much of the time in the water with a tropical drink in hand! It was lovely!
Lindsay says
Aloha!!! :) I love them!!!
Jaime says
Aloha! These pillows are absolutely perfect for my couch! Not to mention, it makes me excited for my own honeymoon in the Caribbean!
Natalie says
ALOHA
Those pillows are fab, so colourful!! I just got engaged over the Christmas holidays so no honeymoon for me yet. Perhaps a sun and sand stay… but your Alaska honeymoon sounds so unique!
Jeremy says
ALOHA! My wife and I went to sunny (and hot!) Florida for our honeymoon in August 2007.
Back when we were dating we made a bet where if I lost, I owed her dinner in Hawaii. We can’t remember what the bet was about, but she’s still holding out for the trip!
Tuyet says
