In need of the perfect sleepwear gift idea for him or her? These are the different types of pajamas and sleepwear available:
nightgowns in cotton, silk or flannel
pajamas both long and short, footed or not,
bedroom lingerie in silks and satins
bed and bath robes

For Valentine's Day, as a wedding or anniversary present or a prelude to a romantic holiday, then consider sexy satin lingerie, strappy nightdresses or short pajamas in cotton or silk for her. Ladies consider buying for yourself but as a gift to your partner. He'll love it!

Pajamas and robes are a stalwart for Father's Day, as are flannel nightdresses for Mom on Mother's Day, but for a more unusual Christmas or birthday present consider a short satin nightdress with matching robe, or a gorgeous pair of cream silk wide-legged pajamas.

Kids love themed pajamas featuring their favorite cartoon characters. Babies appreciate footed pajamas as they tend to kick the bedcovers off. For a unique graduation gift, you could get some printed with a personalised message.

For men, pajamas are great in cotton, either co-ordinating shirt style or stripey pajama bottoms with a t-shirt top. Sumptuous men's or women's silk pajamas are perfect for the busy executive and evoke elegant leisure time, suitable for corporate overnighting as much as intimate evenings at home.

Consider pretty nursing pajamas or silk lingerie as an unusual baby shower gift designed to remind a new mom that she is still a woman.

Happy shopping!
