When a friends' grandson was at St Judes for chemo, she requested gifts. I sent him a Las Vegas themed pillowcase. He loves to play cards, dice, etc. I enjoyed making it. Heck, I make a personalized pillowcase for me. That way I can spot my favorite smooshy pillow on our bed. I should make DH a camo case!
They are fun to make, personalization is fun and who cares if they "match". That is not the point. As far as knowing the size of ones' pillow? Hmmmm...not worried. Just me, i cant micro-manage my gifts to others.
