The Ultimate Sleepwear Gift Guide

The Ultimate Sleepwear Gift Guide

When a birthday, anniversary, retirement, or other major life event rolls around, it can be incredibly difficult to find a gift that feels personal, thoughtful, and genuinely useful. Despite how challenging this can be, pajamas, believe it or not, check all three boxes. Pajamas are something everyone needs, and most people don’t splurge on a luxury set, but you can when you want to give a memorable gift.

Luxury sleepwear gifts are some of the best to receive. Anyone who receives a set of comfortable pajamas carefully designed and manufactured by a brand like This Is J is likely to cherish their new threads. After all, a great pair of pajamas can help one feel more comfortable and restful, and a little more luxurious every day. That’s why pajamas have become such a popular gifting category in Canada.

If you want to gift a pajama set to someone you love, you’ve come to the right place. Today, we’re exploring pajama gift ideas in our pajama gift guide. These are perfect for last-minute gifting, new parents, anniversaries, holidays, and birthdays. We’ll break down all your gift options, including the perfect stocking stuffers, so you’re sorted well in advance.

For Her

When you’re shopping for a woman, it's important to consider buying pajamas she will reach for often. You want to buy her a set that she feels cute in, that is comfortable, and that she can wear on any given day of the week.

So, with this in mind, here’s a look at the best bamboo pajama gift ideas from our bamboo-jammers collection. These sets offer a luxurious feel, soft touch, moisture-wicking, and breathability:

  • Henley Tee Short Set Soft Pink Hearts: If you’re looking for a Valentine's Day gift or something cutesy, you can't go wrong with this short pajama set. With its Henley neckline, tulip shorts, and cute heart design, it's a new favorite we think your loved one will adore. It's also ultra-soft and comes in six sizes and other patterns.

  • Relaxed Long Sleeve Set Safari Flower Black: For those looking to gift a comfortable pair of pajamas, look no further than this set. This pajama set comes with a comfy-fit crew-neck long-sleeve top and long, straight-leg pants. The pants have an adjustable drawstring closure waistband, so they offer an adaptive fit. The set also includes a matching headband, made from moisture-wicking fabric.

  • Long Sleeve Button Down Pajama Set Tartan Burgundy: One pajama set that oozes luxury is this button-down set in the color tartan burgundy. Usually, button-down sets are always giftable because they are a familiar favourite. Ours offers an oversized cozy fit. The top features a curved lapel with sleek contrast popping and just a tiny hint of flair from its side slits. The bottom matches the top with detailed piping. It’s simply stunning.

For Him

Shopping for that man in your life or a man in general can seem like an incredibly challenging activity, but it's not impossible. There are plenty of pajama gift ideas you can explore, including the options we mention below.

We’ve mixed and matched a few sleepwear and loungewear items from our Harris Loungewear collection that any man would be more than happy to receive:

  • Men’s Pajama Pant Tie Dye Black: Tie-dye pants can be a fashion statement, even if the only parade done is one through the bedroom and home before bed. These pajama pants are soft and stretchy, making them perfect for around the house. They drape ever so gently, so those wearing them can barely feel them. Not to mention, they feature a drawstring waistband for maximum comfort, and they come in five sizes.

  • Men’s Long Sleeve Shirt Black: Does your gift recipient love to be comfortable for bed and around the house, and maybe dare we say it…outside the house? If so, you may want to add one of our long-sleeve shirts to their gift bag. This shirt is versatile. It can be worn indoors and outdoors across seasons, pairs well with our pajama bottoms, and is ultra-soft and breathable.

  • Lounge Set Long Sleeve Shirt and Lounge Short Tartan Hunter Green: Our tartan fabric is showstoppingly gorgeous, which is why we made it into a men's lounge wear short pant and long sleeve set. This set is comfortable and easy to wear, and the design has enough structure that it feels like a proper set rather than just two items paired together.

For Kids

Most children love presents, but you don’t have to be cliché and get them a new toy set like everyone else. Instead, you can put money toward ensuring they get a comfortable night's rest.

We have quite a few luxury sleepwear gifts ideal for children, so you shouldn’t find it difficult to find a set, but in case you need a little help, here are two of our top picks.

And before you have a look, just know these sets are safe for your children's skin since they are free of flame retardants and made from bamboo viscose blends like our adult sets:

  • Kids Long Sleeve Lounge Pant PJ Set Varsity Stripe Kelly Navy: This classic long-sleeve pajama pant set features a varsity stripe in Kelly Navy and suits both boys and girls. It's perfect for cooler weather and belongs in the ‘everyday wear’ rotation. It has a soft, stretchy top with long sleeves and a crew neck. The pants also feature a tapered design with ankle cuffs.

  • Kids T-shirt Sleep Short PJ Set Bandana Royal Blue: This kids' t-shirt sleep set lets your child sleep in comfort and style. It has a contrasting sleeve detail at the top and is paired with drop-crotch sleep shorts with slightly tapered legs. The shorts fall just above the knee, and the set is lightweight, making it a true summer pajama set.

Matching Family Sets

Sometimes you love to have a matching set of pajamas for your family. Other times, you need a set of matching pajamas because it's a holiday tradition in your household and you’re planning a family photoshoot. Regardless of the reason, we have plenty of options at This Is J. Our matching family sets make wonderful gifts, with so many styles to choose from. Not to mention our sets are for the young and the old, and come in several styles, colors, and patterns.

Stocking Stuffers

If you’re looking for stocking stuffers, why not get a few luxury sleepwear gifts? Small accessories can be thoughtful add-ons with any pair of pajamas you buy. We have quite a few stuffers you could choose, including sleep masks and soft, stretch headbands. These are made from the same material as our luxury pajamas and come in various patterns.

How to Choose the Right Size

Gifting can go horribly wrong if you buy the wrong size. That’s why it's so important to check size guides. At This Is J, we offer a detailed size chart on every product page. This will help you determine everything from waist, hip, and inseam size to chest size and body length. As long as you consult a size chart or guide and get measurements on the down low from your loved one or friend, you should avoid any awkward situations where the gifts…don’t fit.
