A nifty idea to be sure, but we're a little concerned that our inhumanly portioned heads may not be adequately comforted from these tiny pillows. As a straight up gift though, especially if you have a friend or family member that owns more than half of the Apple product catalog, these will definitely come in handy. But c'mon, no love for the Safari, GarageBand or Stickies icons? Hopefully we'll see this collection expanded to include our personal favorites, and maybe even throw in a couple abstract choices like Photoshop and Trash.

Check out these cool Halloween-themed “Finder” icon pillows created by Etsy user THROWBOY, one of which claims the same name as the old orange Macs. That’s “Count Macula.” The ghost, that’s the “Spooker.” The Frankenstein, that’s the “Finderstein.” As for the pumpkin, it’s called the “Mac-O-Lantern.” Sound familiar? Of course it does. Already gave you the know how to make your own orange Mac. How many different Mac-O-Lanterns are we going to see this season?

The Halloween Mac pillows are yours for $39 a pillow. If you’ve got an old Mac collecting dust, why not save yourself some money and this year.
