The Girlfriend’s Lap Pillow

This rather unique pillow, known as the Girlfriend’s Lap Pillow, is supposed to let us chaps feel at ease by snuggling up to it when our partners are not at home.

And, whilst by no means a substitute for the real thing, I can see a number of bonuses – namely that it has a flat top on which you can place a cold beer (which a big plus point in my book) and that it is highly unlikely that it will ask if you love her every five seconds followed by a not so subtle hint that the dishes need doing or the floor need vacuuming (and that it’s your turn).

That said, I cannot help but wonder what your mother would think if she found one of these stuffed at the back of a cupboard.
