2018 Holiday Gift Guide: Who are You Shopping for?

The holiday season goes hand-in-hand with cozy sleepwear and lingerie that invites snuggling to chase away chills. We just so happen to know a thing or two about those worlds here at Bare Necessities.

To make it easier to cross off a few items on your endless gift list, this year we’ve organized your life by recipient. From matching pajama sets for every family member to edgy teddies for you to wear behind closed doors, there’s something here to jingle everyone’s bells.

So tell us, who are you shopping for?

Cosabella Bella Knit Pajamas

THE SWEET DREAMER

There’s nothing like comfy new pajamas to get them through a long winter’s night. Delightfully soft, warm thermals and flannels in festive motifs—plaid, stars, Fair Isle, Christmas lights, Champagne bottles—make for can’t-go-wrong gifts because one can simply never have too many pairs. You’ll find choices in here for men and children, too, which takes care of an entire family at the same time (more family PJs can be found here).

Ginia Silk Long Gown

A LUXE-LOVER

If there’s a designer diva you adore on the list, these extra-special somethings are where your search starts and ends. Wildly decadent materials like cashmere, velvet, faux-fur, silk and satin go from surprisingly affordable to downright splurgy. And the range of gifts widens here, too—truly fabulous bras and panties, plush robes, shearling slippers, top-quality leggings, fine lingerie, designer pajamas and more. So much to love for your bestie, your sister, your girlfriend (and, let’s be honest, yourself)….

Shirley of Hollywood Sexy Santa

THE NAUGHTY VIXEN

If you or someone you quite like is planning on being the package all tied up with strings, then these are a few of our favorite things. Strappy faux-leather corsets, pearl thongs, crotchless bodystockings, lacy rompers and bow-trimmed teddies are among the more entertaining ways to bring down your heating bill. Indeed, this is where the holidays meet ho-ho-hot.

Spanx Faux Leather Moto Leggings

THE TRENDSETTER

For the ladies in your life most plugged in to the fashion world, you’re going to want to peruse our must-have mix of Hanky Panky lace thongs, UGG boots, SPANX leggings and Arm Tights, Kate Spade New York sleepwear, the world’s finest bras and bralettes, loungewear cardigans, slipper socks and then some. Such a smart way to gift high design for less than a handbag price tag.

P.J. Salvage Think Pawsitive PJs

AN ANIMAL LOVER

We know you know one of these people because, frankly, who doesn’t? Whether she’s crazy for cats, dogs, horses, birds, sheep, reindeer, bears or just a really well-rendered animal print, you can find a treat that will have her purring, be it witty socks that make perfect stocking stuffers or sleepwear. Pair with UGG slippers and a robe, and she’s dressed to take the dog around the block in style.

Lauren Ralph Lauren Flannel PJs

A CLASSICS FAN

If Sophisticated happens to be her middle name, she won’t be able to resist these epitome-of-chic selections: tailored menswear-inspired pajamas, minimalist bathrobes, perfectly slouchy button-down sleep shirts, impossibly glamorous caftans, layering separates in a subdued palette and year-round- timeless stripes, florals and solids. Getting on mother-in-law’s good side is well worth the investment.
