Gifts for Her

The best gifts aren't chosen for an occasion.
They're chosen for a woman.

For the way she moves through her mornings. For what she carries, and what she loves. For the rest she rarely gives herself.

Every Paisley Affair piece is hand block-printed on 100% cotton by artisans in Sanganer, Rajasthan, and every print is named for a real woman. Here is how to find the one that feels like her.

Find the gift by who she is

For the woman who takes care of everyone

She's first up and last to bed, and no one thinks to ask what she needs. Give her a kimono robe to wrap herself in before the house wakes — breathable cotton, two pockets, a tie she can loosen. A small, daily reminder that she gets to be cared for, too.

“I love throwing this on in the morning, it’s a nice little start to my day.”
— Sarika M., on the Joyce Robe

For the hostess

Her home is where everyone gathers. A cotton pajama set is put together enough to pour coffee for the first guests awake, and soft enough to be the last one to bed. The button-down top looks lovely with jeans, too.

For the gardener

Early mornings, dew on the leaves, a cup going cold on the step. A breathable block-printed cotton shirt is made for exactly that — loose, easy, and at home outside. Paisleys and florals printed by hand, for a woman who grows things.

For the achiever who never slows down

She's built so much, and rests so little. Give her the permission she won't give herself: a pajama set or robe that turns the end of the day into a ritual. Rest is not something she has to earn.

For the woman who meditates or practices yoga

Loose, breathable cotton with nothing that pulls or pinches. Our lounge pants have a soft elastic drawstring waist and an easy drape — for the mat, the cushion, or the quiet hour after.

For the reader, the thinker, the curious mind

A gift with a story inside it. Every print is named for a real woman — women who chose themselves and found their way through — and their stories live in Women's Stories. Something to wear, and something to read.

“I love this beautiful fabric. The artist inspires me.”
— Rachael M., on the Annelize Shirt

For the traveler

Breathable enough to sleep in on a long flight or train ride, put together enough to arrive in. A pajama set packs light and makes any hotel room feel like her own.

For a new mother

The button-down tops open easily at the front for nursing, the relaxed cut gives room through pregnancy and after, and the robes tie wherever she needs them to. Soft things for the tender early weeks.

For the warm sleeper, or the woman in a hot climate

Lightweight cotton cambric breathes on warm nights. For the warmest months — or the warmest places — our short sets keep things lighter still.

For the woman who has everything

She can't find this in a store. Each print is made in small batches by hand, so no two runs are quite the same — a piece that is genuinely hers.

For a little something

Block-printed cotton scrunchies and headbands, under $15 — for a thank-you, a stocking, or tucked in with a card.

“I bought about 5 scrunchies for my niece… I loved them so much that I ordered 4 more for myself.”
— Sunitha K., on the Jyoti Scrunchie

For every occasion

  • Birthdays — a robe or pajama set she'll reach for every day of the year ahead.
  • Mother's Day — for the woman who gave you a lifetime of her mornings.
  • Christmas and the holidays — see our holiday gift guide.
  • A new baby — something for the mother, not just the baby.
  • Thank you, or just because — the best reason of all.

“These were a birthday gift for my mother and she absolutely loves them!”
— Lisa F., on the Joyce Pajama Set
