Woman Buys Boyfriend Cushion Of Herself For His Birthday And Ends Up Looking Like A Potato

It was a good idea in theory!

A woman who wanted to buy her boyfriend a pillow with her face plastered all over it, had quite the surprise when it arrived and she looked "like a potato".

Amy Compston, 21, from Romford, wanted to buy her partner Harry a little surprise gift for his special day - and decided a cushion of her face would be an ideal joke present.

But when the pillow arrived, it certainly wasn't what she expected. In fact, thanks to the fact half of her hair had been completely cut off, Amy - who works in a nursery - said she looked like "a potato".

She told Tyla: "We've only been together three months officially, so I asked him what he wanted for his birthday, but he was being really awkward about it and just kept telling me he wanted a surprise.

"He's really fussy with clothes so in the end I got him to tell me something that he actually wanted. He said trainers, but I thought I'd get him a little surprise gift too alongside his main present. So, I decided to surprise him with my face!

"I'd seen an advert on Facebook and I knew it wouldn't look exactly the same as the picture, but I didn't expect to look like a potato, my forehead is definitely not that big, and you can't really see that I have any hair at the top of my head."

Despite asking the company, Snugzy, for a new one - which they sent out straight away - Amy decided to give Harry both anyway and he found it hilarious, claiming his girlfriend looked like "an egg".

"He opened it and just burst out laughing," said Amy.

"I don't think he was expecting that, I told him the story behind it and he said I looked like an egg!

"He said I have to have one of his face now!"

As long as it had Harry laughing, we class that as a successful birthday gift, right?!
