Gift Ideas for Women: Why Sleepwear Is the Easiest, Most-Loved Choice

Not sure what to get her? Women’s sleepwear is a safe choice and one she'll love - soft, breathable and easy to select the right size.

Why sleepwear makes a great gift

  • Useful (not “just another thing”) - she’ll wear it every week.

  • Easy to size - relaxed fits and elastic waists leave room for error.

  • Comfort is universal - soft, breathable fabrics feel good on every skin type.

  • Works for every relationship - partner, mum, sister, bestie, colleague.

  • Looks considered - a matching set feels “put together” with zero guesswork.

  • Ships well and wraps beautifully - light to post, folds neatly, looks special.

How to choose (simple checklist)

  1. Fabric first: for Australian weather, choose breathable cotton or rayon/viscose (including bamboo-derived rayon) for cool, soft drape and everyday comfort. 

  2. Style:

  3. Fit: if unsure, go true size or one size up (relaxed fit is forgiving).

  4. Colour/print: neutrals, stripes, florals or a boho print

Gift ideas by persona (easy picks)

  • The Comfort-First Friend - a breathable cotton or rayon short set for warm sleepers.

  • The Home-Lover - a cotton or rayon long pyjama set with a kimono robe.

  • The Minimalist - clean stripe or solid; classic cut, no frills.

  • The Romantic - a frill cami and shorts in rayon for beautiful drape, or a short set with added frills, or a floaty nightie.

  • The New Mum - button-front top (breastfeeding-friendly) in cotton or rayon - soft and breathable.

  • The Frequent Traveller - a lightweight rayon set that packs small and dries fast.

  • The Boho Lover - choose one of our boho pyjama sets or robes.

Sizing made easy

  • If she wears AU 10 in clothes, choose M in relaxed sleepwear (check our size and fit guide).

  • Between sizes? Pick the looser option - sleepwear should never feel tight.

  • Still unsure?  Give her a gift card so she can choose, or ensure store offers easy exchanges.

Make it feel special (low effort, high impact)

  • Add gift wrap and a short note.

  • Lucia Sleepwear comes in a matching drawstring bag with scrunchie, perfect for gift-giving.

  • Timing: for Christmas, Mother’s Day or birthdays, order early - Express Post is great, but don’t cut it fine.

FAQs

Is sleepwear a good gift if I don’t know her size?

Which fabric is best in Australia?
Cotton for breathable, natural comfort. Rayon/viscose (including bamboo-derived rayon) for a cool, silky feel and lovely drape. Choose lighter weights for summer; add a robe in winter.
