Upping one's own pajama game is hard to make a priority. Why invest in PJs when you could spend money on clothes you actually wear outside?
That's why a nice set of pajamas (or a sleep accessory) makes a delightful holiday gift. You're doing the investing for someone else, and you're making them cozy to boot. You are a saint!
Consider these 13 pajama and pajama-adjacent gifts for that person in your life who could stand to be a little more comfortable. And if that person is you? Even better, honestly.
1. Festive holiday pajamas
Ah, the classic holiday dinosaur print.Credit: TargetYou're never too old for a set of indescribably corny, inappropriate-for-11-months-of-the-year holiday pajamas. For maximum impact, pick one printed with holiday... dinosaurs?
Price: $10-24.99 at Target
2. Warm flannel pajamas
A classic.Credit: L.L. BeanIf you know festive holiday pajamas will go unappreciated, opt for a warm, practical flannel set instead. You can even sneak in a little cheer by picking a holiday-ish print.
Price: $69.95 at L.L. Bean
3. Fancy-looking satin pajamas
They look more expensive than they are.Credit: TargetFor someone who appreciates a little aesthetic luxury — and, ideally, doesn't get cold easily. (You could also do silk, but that would be substantially more expensive.)
Price: $29.99 at Target
4. A waffle robe
Wear it for an entire Sunday.Credit: ParachuteIf someone doesn't appreciate a cozy robe, can you trust them? We say no.
Price: $119 at Parachute
5. Cotton pajamas for people with radiators
They also come in pink, light blue, and navy.Credit: J.CrewFlannel pajamas can be a little too hot for people whose radiators go wild in the wintertime. Compromise with 100 percent cotton — truly a pajama fabric for all seasons.
Price: $98 at J.Crew

That blue!Credit: Lou & GreyFuzzy slippers are even better when they're a vivid, fun color. Plus, you'll never lose them! Not that slippers are easy to lose, but better safe than sorry.
Price: $59.95 at Lou & Grey
7. A silk eye mask
You can also wear it while you're sleeping.Credit: LunyaWith the exception of houseplants, gifts shouldn't create more work for the recipient. This washable sleep mask from Lunya is made of 100 percent silk, but it's also machine washable.
Price: $48 at Lunya
8. A fun nightlight
Look at this fellow.Credit: eBayNo shame in an adult nightlight. Here's one shaped like a crab.
Price: $17.99 on eBay
9. Pajamas to match your dog
Dog looks thrilled, of course.Credit: PajamagramIt's important to match your dog as often as possible. Make sure your recipient's dog is cool with wearing pajamas, though.
Price: $64.99+ at Pajamagram
10. A onesie for someone who never has to pee at night
It only takes 8-9 hours to take this off.Credit: NordstromA onesie as everyday pajamas seems unhinged. What if you have to pee before bed? What if you have to change your tampon? Why lock yourself in a logic puzzle when you could simply wear normal pants? Against all odds, though, some people like pajama onesies (if only for whimsy). Here is a fun one.
Price: $48 at Nordstrom
11. Cashmere bed socks
Soft.Credit: The White CompanyYes, wearing socks to bed is generally frowned upon (although not by everyone), but pre-bed socks are a luxury everyone can agree on.
Price: $49 at The White Company
12. A flannel nightshirt
Choose from a variety of flannel patterns.Credit: The Vermont Flannel CompanyAdd a nightcap and a kerosene lamp and it doubles as Ebenezer Scrooge cosplay.
Price: $58.80 at The Vermont Flannel Company
13. The gold standard in slippers
Soft but not suffocating.Credit: L.L. BeanWe don't know anyone with these slippers who doesn't love them. More than a few people — both IRL and in reviews — assert that they pass the ultimate slipper test: That is, they're cozy and warm without making your feet sweat.
