Pajama gift ideas for Birthdays, Holidays, Valentines, Summer Camp, College and other special occasions

What To Get The Dad Who Has Everything?

The same question plagues me most years around this time. What can I get my dad that will show him how much I appreciate him? Of course, there’s always the standard tie or cufflink. But after decades of birthdays and father’s days, he has plenty of those. This year, I have a new idea: themed gifts. Combining a unique gift that he will use with an experience he will love will make this Father’s Day extra special.

Lucky for you, I am going to share a few of my ideas.

The Sunday Morning Special — Give dad a pair of these beautiful and classic Bedhead Men’s Pewter Stripe Fine Cotton Pajamas (you know he’ll love them, but would never buy them for himself) along with a subscription to his favorite magazine or newspaper (e-reader subscriptions are great too if your dad is a kindle or iPad user). He’ll be thanking you every Sunday all year long.
Catch of the Day — Normally, the idea of getting up at sunrise makes you want to push deeper under your duvet. But you could do it once for dear old dad. Treat him to the pleasure of your company by planning a fishing trip for the two of you. Pair the experience with these cozy “Good Catch” Flannel Lounge Pants (they’re 30% off, too!) that he can wear and reminisce about your day out on the water.
A little pampering — He might not admit it, but even dad can appreciate a little pampering now and then. Get him a gift certificate for a massage at a local spa and give him this cashmere-like chocolate brown robe so he can bring a little bit of that luxury home with him.
Pizza Pizza — Sometimes, love is said best with food.Take him out to dinner at his favorite restaurant, or make him his favorite meal at home. And give him this “Sorry, I Was Thinking About Pizza!” shirt to let him know you really understand him.
His Happy Hour — Celebrate your dad’s love of an old fashioned grill out with this fun “Happy Hour” mug and t-shirt from Life is good. Pair it with a membership to the barbecue sauce or beer of the month club to make this gift complete.

Still in need of more gift ideas? Check out our Just for Dad category for many more pajamas, shirts and accessories that dad will love. Remember Father’s Day is June 17. The Pajama Company ships orders the same day. To guarantee delivery by Friday, June 15, choose ground shipping through June 8, third day through June 12, second day through June 14 and overnight through June 14.

Give Pajamas: Five Graduation Gift Ideas

Leave a reply

After years of books, class and final exams, a diploma finally gives the graduate an excuse to relax. Whether your graduate is heading onto college or out into the real world, pajamas make the perfect gift to help them unwind and also remind them of the comforts of home. Here are five ideas for the perfect graduation gift.

1. Cupcake Choices Flannel Pajamas — Nothing beats comfort food and comfort pajamas. Give these pajamas with a gift certificate to their favorite cupcake or dessert place.

2. Blue Madras Cotton Pant — This pant is perfect for a guy or a girl to wear lounging around the house or even out to class or to grab some food. Check out the full selection for similar prints in green, purple, red and light blue.

3. “Beer Pong League” Sleep Pant — Yes, the college graduate may be leaving the frat parties behind, but they will always have beer pong. Celebrate the graduate’s not-so-grown-up life out of college by giving this pant crowning them the “beer pong champion”. Why not even throw in some red cups and ping pong balls for old times’ sake?

4. “Love Bikes” Poplin Pajama — Whether they are moving to a new campus or a new city, a bike is a useful gift for the recent graduate. These pajamas paired with a new fixed gear bicycle will be the perfect reminder of home. Don’t forget the helmet, too!

5. Kashwere Shawl Collar Robe — A truly luxurious gift, this so-soft robe will help the graduate get cozy in their new apartment or dorm room. The unisex robe comes in black, brown, white, cream, pink, and blue. If robes aren’t their thing, check out the companion Kashwere Pink Throw Blanket and Red Throw Blanket.

Navy Plaid Flannel $44

5. Is there anything nicer than a bright red snowman print flannel pajama for the holidays? We think not.

Red Snowman $52

6. After hours of computing or gaming, extreme hunger is inevitable and we have the perfect solution…Chocolate of course. Our Emergency Chocolate Bar is designed for “Immediate relief of Chocolate Cravings, Lovesickness, Exam Pressure, Mild Anxiety and Extreme Hunger.”

7. A little bit of Pinstripe can go a long way. Instead of going for the full Pinstripe Suit with polished tasseled loafers, we kind of like the simple Boxer. Made of fine Egyptian cotton, the boxer is a great look for lounging and doesn’t require much effort for your sometimes slightly disheveled Geek.

Pinstripe Boxer $19.99

8. We hate to stereotype but is it possible your favorite Geek might just have one or perhaps multiple furry, fluffy roomates who purr and enjoy a nice saucer of milk?

Sleeps With Cats Nightshirt $28

9. We know Geeks are generally task oriented and even a bit on the bossy side so again, we have the perfect Gift in the form of a List just for the Holidays. Our Things You Must Do For The Holidays Notepad includes these tasks: “Believe in Santa, Dress up the pets, Max out a credit card, Channel Martha, Wear a Santa Hat, Buy me Everything, Learn to Snowboard.” (Did we mention sometimes Geeks can be task oriented?)

Things You Must Do For The Holidays $8

10. When it’s 2 am and time for a little shut eye or even 3 pm and time for that power nap, the Midnight Mask is the perfect way to create solitude and reset those creative juices. We know Geeks have to step away from the keyboard, put down the controller, and close the book every now and then.

Midnight Mask $10

This week we launched our “Matching Family Pajamas” category here at www.ThePajamaCompany.com We know there is something about winter and something about the holidays that makes it wonderful to just relax at home together in pajamas. Kids just love, love, love to wear pajamas that match Mom and Dad. It’s fun to see families all in pajamas and all matching. It’s just happy, and isn’t that what the holidays are all about?

How fun for kids to see Mom & Dad in matching footies. We’ve heard our customers tell us that they love footies and love the fun of reclaiming a bit of childhood with footies. We know many families have the “Matching Pajama” tradition for the holidays. For some it’s Thanksgiving, for others it’s Christmas Eve, Christmas morning or the first night of Hanukkah. Always popular are bright red flannel pj’s with snowmen and our Papa Bear flannels are just that and perfect for the entire family. Here are a few of our new matching goodies.
