Pajamas make the perfect holiday gift for so many reasons. First off, it's wintertime, so people are drawn to soft, cozy things. Pajamas are typically a “safe” gift for those who are hard to buy for, and a lot of people don't frequently buy pajamas for themselves, so high-quality PJs can be a little treat. Plus, pajamas are available in a wide price range as well as both basic solid colors and fun or classic prints!
So, have we sold you on pajamas as gifts yet?! (A lot of those factors apply to throw blankets as well, btw.)
We haven't rounded up women's pajamas in a couple of years, so we're due for an update! These are some of the best brands and styles for friends, relatives, and the other important women in your life.
What are your favorite PJs to wear and to give as gifts, holiday or otherwise?

The Best Women's Pajamas to Give as Holiday Gifts
Soma
We've mentioned Soma's Cool Nights line several times over the years, and it's still going strong. These pajamas are great for women dealing with hot flashes, or anyone who sleeps hot.
You can choose from among shirt & pant sets (like the one pictured), pajama separates, sleepshirts, nightgowns, and more. The soft, easy-care fabric is designed to be cool to the touch and to not stick to your skin. *shudder*
In addition to Cool Nights, the company sells all sorts of pajama styles in waffle knits, satin, and so on.
The pictured set, a bestseller, is on sale for $29–$39 in six solid/print combos in sizes XS–XXL (some colorways are lucky sizes only). The pants have an elastic waist and POCKETS, and the set is machine washable, tumble dry.
Ordering deadline for Christmas: A customer service rep told us on 12/13, “Currently, there are no such dates on Soma” — so double-check the arrival date when you order. (Find stores here.)
Lake Pajamas
Lake Pajamas calls itself “a sleepwear phenomenon” and in addition to women's pajamas (including maternity!), they carry men's, kids', baby, and “mom & mini” styles, and even have a bridal shop for the bride, groom, and bridesmaids.
Lake's size range for women's pajamas is XXS–XXL, and the fabrics available are pima cotton, “DreamKnit” (a silky 95% modal, 5% spandex), flannel, and poplin.
The pictured PJs are one of the brand's bestsellers, the DreamKnit kimino pajama set, $138. The top has a belt and interior tie, and the pants are wide-leg with an elastic waist. This set is available in five colorways — five striped and one solid — and is machine wash, dry flat.
Besides this pajama set style, Lake offers other PJ pant sets as well as short sets, separates, and nightgowns. Check out their holiday shop and gift guide.
Ordering deadline for Christmas: Order by 12/18, 12/19, or 12/20, to have gifts arrive on 12/22 — with standard, 2-day, and overnight shipping, respectively. The brand's pretty gift boxes are $10 each.
Printfresh
If you're looking to gift sustainable styles this holiday season, Printfresh could be for you. The brand's striking prints, which are “inspired by plants, animals, and home décor,” start out as paintings and are then hand-screen-printed or embroidered on 100% organic cotton in India (sustainable details here).
Printfresh's pajama, loungewear, and other clothing styles are available in organic cotton and viscose in an inclusive size range that includes plus (up to 6X) and petites, as well as kids' and matching family sets. The brand makes other clothing too, such as T-shirts and dresses, as well as accessories and home items.
Check out Printfresh's holiday shop, gift picks, and gift bundles! (By the way, an exclusive collection of pajamas and wallpaper is available at Anthropologie.)
The pictured bestselling pintuck nightgown (in the “Bagheera” print) is made from organic cotton poplin and has POCKETS. It's available in XXS–6X for $138 and is machine wash, tumble dry.
Ordering deadline to arrive for Christmas: Order by 12/15 for delivery by 12/24 with standard shipping.
Moonlight
Moonlight, a Nordstrom house brand of pajamas, currently offers a few dozen women's pajama styles in regular and plus sizes up to 4X. Their pant sets, short sets, nightshirts, and nightgowns are made from a machine-washable Tencel modal / spandex blend — and some are now on sale!
The pictured pajama set includes a button-front top with some classic contrast piping and drawstring-waist pants, and like all of the Moonlight line, it's machine wash, tumble dry. This style is available in regular and plus sizes in the pictured Barbados stripe as well as leopard print, a geometric print (which honestly kind of hurts to look at), and three very different florals.
This set is $75 full price, but the leopard and the green floral are on sale for $37.50.
Note: Some of the Moonlight line's pieces are labeled “Moonlight Eco.” Unfortunately, I couldn't find a description online of how they're different. Both are made mostly from Tencel modal, which is sustainably produced, and while some Moonlight Eco pieces are classified as “Sustainable Style,” some aren't. What seems to (maybe) be the case is that Moonlight styles contain at least 30% sustainably sourced materials, while Moonlight Eco ones have at least 50%. (We contacted Nordstrom customer service, but they were unable to provide more info.)
Ordering deadline to arrive for Christmas: Order by 8 a.m. ET on 12/18 with free standard shipping, or by noon on 12/19 with 2-day shipping, for gifts to arrive by 12/25.
Readers, do tell! What are your favorite PJs, both styles and brands? Have you tried any of the brands above?

These are my favorite PJs. https://www.garnethill.com/asian-wrap-organic-cotton-short-sleeve-cropped-pajamas/506349?offers_sku=45584%20NVYF%20XS&SourceCode=DGW42B&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=GH+Network+PLA&utm_content=GH+Network+PLA&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA7OqrBhD9ARIsAK3UXh0QgoDdm-EsvGBRXWoyXG8ZP_UqGC8VydPVZKeJfzg0pBpy2yR_rIUaAvyFEALw_wcB
Those are pretty!
Has anyone ever been in a relationship with a dismissive avoidant? Was recently broken up with and still reeling a bit. Was convinced he was the one but have been doing a lot reading on attachment and he is a clear dismissive avoidant. Just wondering how others coped with the sadness.
I’m not sure the coping would be any different than other “types” to be honest. I will say I think women in particular and specifically go looking for psychiatric diagnoses for exes in an effort to “understand” what happened/to cope and in my non-professional opinion, it’s a way to keep the connection, however tenuous, alive.
Personally to me it doesn’t really matter ultimately “why” someone dumped me–the focus is on moving on and learning any lessons about picking men and using this to develop my “radar” and judgement rather than the “why of it all” ya know?
Perfectly normal, well adjusted securely attached men can dump a gal for reasons totally unrelated to their attachment style too! So it’s not like “oh I need to learn all about dismissive avoidant so I never get dumped again!”
But to directly answer the question, you wallow for a day or two or a week–listen to sad music, vent to friends, cry, fume, etc. If you have a therapist you sort through the emotions there for sure.
Then you funnel those emotions into doing better next time and commence a clean-break (no stalking socials, no “how are you” texts, no “processing” conversations with the ex).
This is such good advice. I hope you take it.
I wouldn’t waste another minute thinking about trying to understand a “dismissive-avoidant,” because it’s truly a them thing and not for you to fix. (Also, guys have been ghosting folks since the beginning of time when they’re not interested enough.)
I’m almost 50. Last night there was a meteor shower. My husband was already asleep, but it hit me that you only live once–so like a weirdo I drove to a nearby park with the dog to watch. On the drive there, I remembered another meteor shower from when I was in my late 20s with a boyfriend. I had made cocoa for our thermoses and s’mores bars, packed blankets and gloves, and drove to a park where the astronomy club was meeting where we stayed for, oh, about 10 minutes (maybe!) while he complained and we left. He had ghosted me when that relationship ended another year or so after that, and it was agonizing at the time. (Called me even a few years after that as part of a 12-step program thing apparently.) Anyway, I caught myself alone in the car last night literally saying out loud “Man, you were WAY too good for him.” It kills you when you’re in it. But someday you realize the right one is just easy and doesn’t require constant examination and will care just as much about your feelings. Anyway, I hope you hit this moment of realization without waiting 25 years. LOL. But truly, if you’re trying to research dismissive avoidance, trust me that you’re WAY too good for him.
This is a great answer.
Beans, if he broke up with you, you are no longer “in a relationship with a dismissive avoidant.” You have an ex-boyfriend who you believe is a dismissive avoidant. And the hurt you’re experiencing is not necessarily different because of what kind of attachment style your ex-boyfriend has. If he were The One, you guys would still be together. He’s not the one for you. But you can take what you learned in this relationship and use it to help you form a better, healthier relationship with a different person in the future. That’s literally all you can do – do not think that armchair-diagnosing your ex will somehow help you win him back.
Beans, it really sounds like you could benefit from finding someone to talk to about your own attachment style and why you are engaging in such unhealthy behavior. He broke up with you, and doing a lot of reading on attachment and deciding he had a certain attachment style based on what you read is not going to change that. The best thing you can do at this point is accept that the relationship ended, take lessons from the relationship, and move forward.
There is wisdom in the replies suggesting that trying to understand him might be a way of clinging to the relationship. On the other hand, trying to understand his issues might help you process the break-up and understand yourself better. So I would continue on whichever path feels right to you, taking care to focus on yourself rather than on him.
Seeking books related to Barcelona or maybe Spain more broadly. Any ideas? I am headed there in the spring and also need to pick a book for my book club. Hoping to accomplish two thing with one read.
Camellia Street or The Time of the Doves by Merce Rodoreda — love her work.
Hemingway?
For travel guidance, Rick Steves FTW.
+1 to Rick Steves for all European travel
Victoria Hislop has a good one.
I really loved the Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, which is fiction (sort of a mystery?) about a bookshop in Barcelona.
This–they are actually part of a trilogy.
I loved this one. It is a four books magical realism saga but you can fully enjoy the first one without reading the others.
Other could be “The cathedral of the sea” by Ildefonso Falcones, the plot it is in the 14th century “A story that does not simply tell of the building of a beautiful church, which the people would call the “The cathedral of the Sea” and the excellent recreation of medieval Barcelona, but also of the harsh life of its main character, who as a slave, ends up becoming an influential person through devotion, suffering, revenge, a loyalty trauma, love, war and conspiracies that make each page an exhilarating experience.”
Latuza, an American-made brand, is great for these. They’re made of a bamboo viscose, and the colors are so pretty! Sets are on sale now.
Here is a weird shopping request – I really love the little bags Turkish Airlines gives out in economy class. They’re about 4*6 inches, lightweight, and kinda durable, have a zipper – they are my perfect size for a cash baggy when traveling, my emergency hike kit, etc. But I haven’t flown Turkish since pre pandemic and I’m running out! Searching is getting me more robust, intentionally designed stuff – but I really just want the cheapo ones the airline uses. Any ideas on how to find these?
Have never flown Turkish Airlines I’m not sure exactly what you mean but something like this: https://www.target.com/p/juvale-juvale-12-pack-bulk-blank-canvas-zipper-pouch-set-canvas-pencil-pouch-for-cosmetic-diy-crafts-pens-markers-scissors-8×6-in/-/A-80405706?ref=tgt_adv_xsf&AFID=google&CPNG=storefront&adgroup=52-15
Ooh, yes, and looking at the description I think adding “bulk” to searches will help. Thanks!
I got a similar Herschel pouch on Virgin and it looks like they sell to consumers too!
Dang, Turkish gives you amenity kits in regular economy? On United you only get them in premium economy and business class.
Is the food on Turkish Airlines as good as everyone says? I’m flying ORD-IST in May.
On transatlantic, I’ve always gotten a little amenity kit from Turkish airlines even in regular economy (JFK to IST leg) but not necessarily from other EMEA connections. Food is fine, but never stood out as particularly great
I would check eBay.
I am having a rough month and want to plan a long weekend in January to look forward to. I don’t honestly have it in me to do a ton of research right now. Anyone have places they love that would be good for a solo vaca for a few days, coming from Virginia? Any of retreat/hot springs/ nature walks/paddle boarding/tennis type places would be good (or I suppose a mountain lodge type place with some activities, though I don’t ski), and I’m ok with a resort or just a location with easy food and stuff to do.
Thanks!
For me, it’s hard to top an all-inclusive resort for relaxation. Everything’s paid and mostly planned in advance, so it really cuts down on having to make decisions while you’re there. There are tons of options in Mexico, the DR and Jamaica and more limited options on other Caribbean island.
I’m going to Vegas for the first time in a few months and would love some sort of specific recommendations. Has anyone here been to the Sphere to see a show and do you have any tips to share? I’d also like to check out Canyon Ranch Spa and would love to hear feedback about it. Finally – restaurant suggestions? I’d definitely like one fancy, can’t-do-anywhere-else kind of meal! Thank you!
I just went to Vegas for the first time recently and loved the show Awakening at the Wynn. It originally came highly recommended by a friend and was fantastic!!
I picked Prime at the Bellagio for a special dinner, but was very disappointed, so pick something else despite the good reviews.
I just got back from Vegas with my husband, and enjoyed the prix fixe dinner at Picasso ( at Bellagio overlooking the fountains ) – it was $$ but well worth the spend. Book early for choice of tables.
Otter restaurants on the strip that we enjoyed-
Momofuku at lunch
Zuma for drinks and dinner
Morimoto (MGM) was good but a tad overpriced
Eataly ( park MGM) was great for a slice of pizza
Best friend ( park mgm) had excellent Korean fusion food
Secret pizza (cosmo) was great for a late night slice of pizza
The off strip Chinatown is an easy cab ride away and we enjoyed sushi at sushi Neko. They have excellent sashimi on their AYCE menu for very reasonable prices.
I *love* Picasso. Possibly my favorite restaurant experience ever and I’ve been to a lot of Michelin-starred places. Plus real Picassos on the walls!
Just ordered the featured soma set. Happy Christmas to me!
I love the Printfresh jams and have bought SEVERAL pairs (and a robe! and slippers!) in the last year…they are excellent.
I also love Garnet Hill’s pajamas.
