What Does Mom Really Want for Mother's Day?

 

I've been doing a little research on that always baffling question "What do Moms really want for Mother's Day?"  It's her day and families want to get it right.  Is it jewelry, flowers, chocolates, dinner out, a party? Finding the perfect gift is always a struggle.  I'm a Mom and I think I've cracked the code on what Moms really want on Sunday and it is one word...Sleep! We know that a staggering percentage of Moms are chronically sleep deprived, not getting enough sleep most nights of the week. Moms of young children are particularly sleepy but Moms of teens and 'tweens are also affected.  The thought of having one morning to sleep in is the perfect gift. Undisturbed sleep...period.  So look no further than a comfy pair of pajamas, a soft pillow and a dark, quiet bedroom for the perfect Mother's Day morning, afternoon or however long it takes for Mom to wake happy and refreshed for this one day of the year....and when she wakes say a simple "Thanks for being a great Mom."  Sweet dreams to all Mothers on Sunday!

This Valentine's Day, Let Your Gift Tell Her How You Feel

This February, celebrate love by setting aside time on Valentine's Day to spend with the most special person in your life. Plan a romantic evening and carefully choose a gift that expresses your true feelings. Even if you are not great with words, you can let her know exactly how you feel. After all, great gifts speak a language all their own. For example, a pair of pajamas from The Pajama Company says:

“I Really Know You.”
When you select the perfect pair of pajamas for your special someone, you let her know that you really understand who she is in her most relaxed, unguarded moments. Everyone at the office may know that your love's favorite color is green or that she enjoys reading, but a gift like this something only you could give.

“I Was Thinking of You, Not Just Checking a Valentine's Day Gift Off My List.”
While millions of women around the world will receive yet another heart-shaped box of chocolates purchased at the last minute from the local discount store, your love will experience the thrill of opening a gift tailored to her. From the fabric and style to the print, your care in matching a great set of pajamas to her personality is something she will recognize instantly and appreciate.

“I Love the Kid Inside You.”
Pajamas are fun gifts. Give your love a pair of footie pajamas and watch her eyes light up. Your thoughtfulness, as well as great memories of being a child, will bring a smile to her face. It's like giving her permission to put away her 9 to 5 personality for a few hours and just play.

“Let's Spend Time Together.”
A comfortable, warm pair of pajamas symbolizes days spent relaxing together at home. Your love will understand that in your eyes, everything else can wait. Today is about just the two of you. It is about enjoying one another's company and getting to know her even more deeply. It is a way of telling her that in your eyes, being with her is what life is all about.

“I Want to Take Care of You.”
When you give your love a comfortable pair of pajamas for Valentine's day, you are expressing your wish that every night's sleep is deep and every morning's pace is relaxing. Your love will realize that instead of trying to find something glitzy or showy—a bauble that is really more about you than about her—you wanted to get something to make her life more comfortable and enjoyable.

If you read this post and found yourself thinking “Uh oh,” you probably have a box of chocolates and a teddy bear wrapped up and waiting for Valentine's Day. Relax. You can fix this. Just visit The Pajama Company and order your love some fun gifts, the kind that she deserves. Your care and originality will make her smile. As for the chocolates and the teddy bear, we hope you saved the receipt.

Pajamas: The Perfect Gift

Shopping for just the right gift is stressful. Getting through traffic, finding a parking spot, and fighting the crowds are all small parts of the problem, but the real issue is simply that the best gifts have at least two jobs to do. First, they must make a statement about your friend or loved one. Second, they need to communicate how much you value their presence in your life. That is a lot to ask from a product, and frankly, most things you find on the shelves of your local department store just cannot deliver. Fortunately, there is a solution. The next time you need the perfect gift for someone in your life, consider buying a wonderful set of pj's from www.ThePajamaCompany.com.

Think about it: Giving loved ones a soft, warm set of flannel pajamas is like wishing them ease and comfort every single day of their lives. When they open that package, they will know that you want only the best for them. They will realize that if you could, you would give them a peaceful, relaxing Saturday morning everyday single day of the week. And when they take a moment to look more closely at the pajamas and see that you have chosen a set in their favorite style or color, they will know that you understand and value who they really are inside.

Shopping for a child? Give them pj's featuring vibrant colors and a fun print. Want to wish an adult some childlike fun? Consider a nice pair of footie pajamas for an unexpected gift they will love. If you are trying to find something for an entire family, consider buying matching flannel pajamas for everyone. It is a great way to build family spirit and to encourages everyone to spend some time lounging together before they have to go their separate ways for the day, once again rushing about their busy lives. In a small way, you can help them build memories that will be the topic of conversation on holidays and at family gatherings for many years. No matter who you are buying for, there is a pair a pajamas to fit your need. And rest assured, the people you love will remember your thoughtfulness and care every time they snuggle into the perfect gift you gave them.

Snowed In? Make It a Pajama Day and Make Some Memories

When the snow is piling up outside, nothing beats staying in—preferably while lounging in your pj's and cradling a cup of hot chocolate. If you are lucky enough to find some solitude on a wintry day, time can suddenly stand still. The rush of life recedes and the terrible weather means that responsibilities will have to wait. Tomorrow it may all begin again, but today you have the luxury of wrapping yourself in the warmth of your favorite flannel pajamas and doing what you love.

On the other hand, a day snowed-in with the family is every bit as wonderful as a quiet day alone. Knowing that there's no commute ahead of you and no classes ahead for your kids means that you can focus on what matters most—each other. Playing board games, watching old movies, and sliding around the hardwood floors in your favorite fun pajamas and footies is just as magical for parents as it can for children. On typical days, the children may retreat to the solitary world of their video games and their MP3 players, but a day of pajama fun will capture their full attention. It is the kind of moment that your kids will talk about for years to come.

Street clothes—whether a sharp business suit or plain jeans and t-shirt—are not meant for these kind of relaxed  winter days. When you dress in everyday garments, you are dressing for the outside world. School and work may not appear on the day's agenda, but by dressing for them, you are playing their rules. Staying in your pj pants and letting the little ones pad around the house in their footed pajamas makes everything more special. Let the world have the other six days of the week; keep this one for yourself.

You could settle for just any kind of sleepwear, but fun pajamas—the kind that express your personality and bring a smile to everyone's face—are the best on a cold, stormy day. That's important, because a pajama day should be all about who you are.

So the next time the weather report calls for a foot of snow to land just outside your door, smile. Make sure everyone has a great pair of pajamas. Let the sun wake you up slowly. Enjoy being together. Tomorrow there will be plenty of time for a breakfast on the run in your business causal attire. Today—well—today is different.
