Gifts for Her
The best gifts are not chosen for an occasion. They are 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.
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.
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 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.
“I love throwing this on in the morning, it’s a nice little start to my day.”
— Sarika M., on the Joyce Robe
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 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.
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.
“I love this beautiful fabric. The artist inspires me.”
— Rachael M., on the Annelize Shirt
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 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 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.
“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 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.
“These were a birthday gift for my mother and she absolutely loves them!”
— Lisa F., on the Joyce Pajama Set
“It wasn’t just opening a package, it was a treat!”
— Laurie C., on the Annelize Pajama Set
