A Silk Robe or Pyjamas as a Gift: How to Choose and Get the Size Right
Want to give something personal, but lingerie feels like too big a risk? A silk robe or beautiful pyjamas are the perfect middle ground: a gift she'll use every day, and think of you every time she does.
Christmas, New Year, a birthday, Valentine's Day or an anniversary — here's how to choose the style and fabric, and how to get the size right without spoiling the surprise.
Robe, pyjamas or negligee: which to choose
Gift | Who it suits | How much the exact size matters |
|---|---|---|
practical types and anyone who loves a slow morning | low: the wrap and belt forgive a mistake | |
anyone who values comfort and style at home | medium: the hip size needs to be right | |
a romantic gift for your partner | medium: check the bust size |
If you're really unsure of her size, choose a robe. It's the safest option.
The fabric makes the gift
- Silk is the most luxurious choice. It feels wonderful on the skin, drapes beautifully and looks like a gift at first glance. Silk doesn't stretch, so if she's between sizes, go up.
- Viscose is just as fluid and smooth, but more affordable and easier to care for — like Aruelle's Linna pyjamas with a zebra print.
- Cotton suits anyone who loves natural fabrics and wears pyjamas every night.
- Flannel is the warm winter option for chilly evenings.
How to find her size without giving the surprise away
- Check the label on her favourite pyjamas, T-shirt or lounge set. A letter size — S, M or L — is enough to go on.
- Ask a friend or her sister — they often know better than you think.
- For a robe, height matters more than measurements. Decide on the length: short is playful, midi is versatile, full-length makes the biggest impression.
- For pyjamas, go by her hips. A loose-fitting top forgives a size difference; trousers don't.
- Message our consultant with her height and rough build, and we'll tell you how a particular style fits.
And if you really can't find out her size, give a Cocon-Luxe gift card: she chooses for herself, and you can't go wrong.

Gifts for him
Men rarely buy themselves good loungewear — and really appreciate it when they get it.
- Aruelle Leonard cotton pyjamas with long trousers — UAH 5,360.
- Men's robes — the safest gift when it comes to size.
- Emporio Armani 3-pack socks set — UAH 1,860, an easy gift for any occasion.
The simplest way to find his pyjama size is to check his T-shirts: the letter size is usually the same.
FAQ
What should I give if I have no idea of her size? A wrap robe or a gift card. Neither depends much on size.
How do I care for silk? Hand wash in cool water with a detergent for delicates, and don't wring it out. Dry in the shade and iron inside out on a low setting. Always follow the care label.
What if it doesn't fit? See Delivery and payment for exchange terms. Keep the tags and packaging.
Can I pick up the gift myself? Yes, from our stores in Kyiv, Dnipro and Lviv. We also deliver across Ukraine with Nova Poshta and ship internationally — see Delivery and payment for destinations and timings.
