Gifts from Fairies Donation

Gifts from Fairies Donation

I am very excited to be able to make a small but significant contribultion to the lovely charity Gifts from Fairies run by Emma Shipstone from Newark.  I have been in business for nearly 20 years now and almost every time I introduce a new design we sell out completely.  However, a couple of years ago I changed the sizing of our XL PJ bottoms and we have just a handful of the old size in a blue flower colourway which might come in use for taller teens of possibly the children’s mums.  They are very good quality, warm PJ bottoms and will definitely keep the cold out this winter.

Pyjamas in the time of Covid

Pyjamas in the time of Covid

It’s been a while since I last posted a blog and a lot has happened since this time last year when the UK went into the first Lockdown. We have benefited from being a small, family run business.  We have been incredibly lucky and have learned a lot about how to run the business going forward.  As the old adage goes.. “the harder you work, the luckier you get”!!

An Indian Summer by day, cool and chilly at night..

An Indian Summer by day, cool and chilly at night..

It’s 25C in London, and pushing 20C by midday even up here in Yorskhire. No, this blog isn’t to announce The Pyjama House’s new vocation as a weather girl (fun though it looks), but instead to celebrate the seasons and the fact that warm though it is during the day, we need our cosy pyjamas at night!

Pyjama House nightie brings a smile to a Rohingya refuge in Bangladesh

I am lucky enough to have a great friend in Yorkshire who runs the Communications in Bangladesh for UNICEF.  He kindly suggested that some our Pyjama House nighties would be very popular with the refugee children that he works with.  I received a very humbling message from Mosina thanking me for the nightie that she was given and Ali sent me these wonderful photographs.  If you are moved by her story follow our link to make a donation to UNICEF

100% cotton Nightwear not only feels nicer to wear, it also reduces pollution.

100% cotton Nightwear not only feels nicer to wear, it also reduces pollution.

Microfibers are essentially a form of plastic.  The huge problem they cause mainly arises from washing clothes and textiles in a washing machine. Notable materials that contain synthetic microfibers, include: acrylic, nylon and polyester.

So do you bit and make sure you buy clothing and nightwear made from 100% cotton or other natural fibres.  If you choose cotton pyjamas, you are likely to have the added bonus that sleeping in cotton can promote a good night’s sleep.

Nightshirts and PJ Bottoms for Fathers Day Perhaps??

Nightshirts and PJ Bottoms for Fathers Day Perhaps??

Fathers Day, I admit, is a bit of an American thing and not always celebrated in the UK, but in the interests of equality perhaps we girls should make the effort! How about spoiling your other half or your dad on June 16th by giving him a gorgeous Egyptian cotton nightshirt. Or, a pair of PJ bottoms perhaps?

Or you could just ignore the whole thing .. but don’t be upset when Mothers Day passes without you receiving so much as a card!!

Inspired by Chelsea Flower Show

My big gardening treat every year is go to Chelsea Flower Show with my Mum.  My mother’s grandfather grew orchids for the Queen and was a long time exhibitor at Chelsea before the war. My family have, as far as I know, never missed a show. It is therefore no surprise that in amongst the signature checked and striped fabrics that I design for The Pyjama House that a floral sprig or two can usually be found.

I say Pyjamas, you say Pajamas!

I say Pyjamas, you say Pajamas!

We have a lot of different spellings in the UK, and one of them is the word “pyjamas” (or “pajamas” if you are in the US).  And as our beautiful cotton pyjamas for boys, girls, teenagers and adults are now a good 10% cheaper if you are buying them in dollars or Euros, then now is the time to spread the word about our lovely products overseas. I have added a drop down currency tab on the top right hand corner of the website so that customers abroad can see just how much they are paying. If you have friends or family overseas who might be interested please do share this post by Facebook or Twitter.  Thank you for supporting a (small) British business!
