Holiday Gifts for 2012: Serenecomfort Employee Picks

Holiday Gift Picks 2012

It’s the time for gift giving once more and to avoid the hustle and bustle of the December crowd, more and more people are turning to online shopping. But what exactly do you buy for your loved ones? How about something warm and cozy that they can enjoy year after year?

Cozy, warm, beautiful and, most of all, practical sleepwear and clothing has been filling the Serene Comfort warehouses for the past two months. Our staff has been eyeing our new winter lines and doing their own holiday shopping. As shoppers themselves, they’ve happily decided to share their picks with you and hope you can spread some joy as well!

Stan Herman Seafoam Bedjacket

1. Terry has been raving about the Stan Herman bed jacket that she has bought for an aunt. Not only Terry, but her cousins and mother have also found themselves falling in love with these warm delights in both the Antique Rose pink and Seafoam green. These make a perfect gift to those who find the traditional robes too bulky – bed jackets are the perfect amount of coverage whether you’re lying in bed or having your morning coffee. Terry has also already snagged a pair of her favorite Lanz of Salzburg cotton flannel pajamas as a holiday gift to herself as well!

Karen Neuburger Cups of Cozy Pajamas

2. Mari has already purchased three sets of Microfleece pajamas from Karen Neuburger for herself and for her loved ones the same day they made their debut on the site! But who could blame her with their cute prints and cuddly soft feel? These make wonderful gifts for anyone – our staff has purchased these for their teenage daughters to their mothers. If you want one, you better hurry because they are flying out the door!

Eagle Ray Traders Coral Shrug

3. Katie is a fan of our brand new line of shrugs. With the various colors we offer, these shrugs are perfect to add a little flare to a plain dress or to extend the wearing season for those sleeveless dresses. With their light and easy to wear comfort, these shrugs give you just the right amount of coverage so you aren’t too hot or too cold. Let’s face it, not all of us are fond of our arms either. This adds a stylish cover that will leave you feeling confident in the way you look. As a gift for others, this is an easy stocking stuffer or an addition to a dress.

Lanz of Salzburg Flannel Nightgown

4. Kathy has been waiting for our winter lines to start her holiday shopping with flannel nightgowns – liking the soft dreamy feel of both the Eileen West and the Lanz flannels. These are a favorite of our customers and our staff during these cold months. In various colors, including many popular holiday prints, these cotton flannel nightgowns are as stylish and flattering as they are warm and cozy. There’s nothing more relaxing after a hard day’s work surviving the cold winter day then cuddling up in your warm flannel gown.

Karen Neuburger Purple Nightshirt

5. Cheryl has bought herself (as a gift from her husband which seems the most foolproof way for a happy wife) a beautiful heather brocade sleepshirt in a rich dark lavender. For her, sleepshirts are perfect with their short length for an ease of movement and still keep her warm. So if you are a lover of short gowns and boyfriend sleepshirts, we have plenty of different kinds of nightshirts for you – both short sleeve and long sleeve! With their flowing fit, these make for an easy holiday gift without worrying over the size.

Jess & Jane Crystal Palace Tunics

6. Debbie has found herself falling in love with the new Crystal Palace Jess & Jane tunic top. As one of the newest trends in casual style with their intricate and beautiful patterns and unique hemline, tunics have become very popular with jeans, slacks, leggings, or however you’d like to wear them. Many tunics are versatile enough to be worn as a cover up! Two styles for the price of one! With over extensive collection of tunics, we are sure to have a favorite for every woman on your holiday shopping list!

Shadowline Silhouette Ivory Robe/Gown Set

7. Nicole recommends the peignoir sets and robe/gown sets. In particular, she has her eyes on the white Shadowline Silhouette ivory set as a bridal gift for her soon-to-be sister-in-law. With its gorgeous off white color and stunning stretch lace bodice, this set makes the perfect wedding present for a bride.

Eileen West Sleepwear - Woodland Floral Vine Gown

8. For Cathy, she finds the extensive nightgown selection to be her favorite. In particular, the Woodland Floral Vine printed nightgowns by Eileen West has become a favorite of hers on her holiday list. Made of a “Dreamtime Jersey” 100% cotton knit, this gown has a heavenly soft feel. Eileen West is a brand that our staff trusts to provide quality comfort and uncompromising attention to details. Hurry though, this nightgown is a hot item and it’s going fast!

Wind Song Kaftan by Sante

9. Jen’s pick is the stunning Wind Song Caftan by Santé in a silky smooth satin charmeuse. With its unique contrast of colors and simple embellishment of beading along the neckline, this caftan is perfect for lounging in, whether it’s at home or by the pool. Because it is one size fits most, gifting this caftan to another is made easy without having to fuss over getting the correct size and with a price under $30, it fits any budget!

Tianello French Blue Dress

10. The luxuriously soft to the touch Tencel Dress by Tianello is a favorite of Kris. With its simplistic style and calming blue hue, you can wear this dress in many different ways – with boots, heels, shrugs, jackets, however you want! You’ll always be comfortable with this tencel material and still look fashionable. Comfort and style, what more can you ask for?

We have many more styles and colors, so if you see something you like, check out our entire selection at Serenecomfort.com! Order now before it’s too late!

Breaking the Myth - Sleepwear for the Older

Shadowline Silhouette Peignoir set
For years, I have gone to bed in the same usual sleepwear – a tank and shorts or sweatpants. It could be that I don’t really bother with looking nice for bed to impress a man I’m already married to (which doesn’t make me old, I’m only 23) or that I went through a phase of desperately needing workout clothes (which ironically all I do in the clothes is sleep). So needless to say, I wasn’t one much for elegant nightgowns and satin pajamas.

Then I started working for Serene Comfort. When I was interviewed for the part, all I could think about was “great, I’m surrounded by clothes my mom would wear…” No offense to her, but some of the clothes she wears can be a bit “stodgy”. But I thought, I certainly have done worse jobs including bunny suits and cramped half-cubicles... so what, if I can't really relate to the sleepwear? 


On my first day of work, I ended up having to scan through hundreds of photos of the women modeling the clothes. To my surprise, I found many of the sleepwear to be absolutely gorgeous – some things that my mom might not even touch. From sultry to adorable, nightgowns to pajamas, I was slowly wondering if I should expand my nighttime wardrobe.

Eileen West PajamasThese were the kind of sleepwear that I would admire in the department stores and rub against my cheek and awe over how soft or silky it felt. Then I would look at the price tag and realize my cheek was the only part of me that was going to enjoy it. I could never convince myself that at those prices, it was worth to take home with me. And like I stated before, I was a tank and shorts woman.

But Serenecomfort.com offers the same quality sleepwear for a fraction of the price! And if you saw how they cared for each item, ensuring that they reach their customers in perfect condition, you wouldn’t hesitate for a second. As much as I loved the selection, however, I’m still not much of a nightgown person, so my selection was limited to the pajamas. “Limited”, though, might be the wrong word to use. Serenecomfort.com has some beautiful Eileen West pajamas, vibrantly colored Shadowline pajamas and satiny Miss Elaine ones! And if you’re like me and nightgowns aren’t quite your “thing”, well, maybe for special occasions, you should slip into a Shadowline Silhouette or Petals nightgown because the feel and look are absolutely heavenly.

Beach Cover-Up
But if nightwear isn’t your targeted shopping area, there are always the shirts, pants, caftans, cover-ups and tunics. Before Serene Comfort, I didn’t even know the word ‘tunic’ existed, let alone what a tunic was. But wow, did I want all of those in my closet! The different shapely hemlines and the fun yet elegant designs – I was a kid with three gift cards in a toy store.

That should be our new motto: Serenecomfort.com – like being a kid with three gift cards in a toy store. Too long?

The Luxury of a New Nightgown…

Blue-Shadowline-Set2 crop Do you ever go into a lingerie department in a store or visit a sleepwear department in an online boutique and one particular nightgown immediately catches your eye?  As you continue to browse through the aisles you keep going back to that one particular gown that you just have to have!  You decide to wait on purchasing it just in case you find another night gown that you like better…  But you keep thinking about it.  How you want it and can’t wait to have it.  Oh, the anticipation… Finally, you break down and buy it.   Once you get that nightgown home, you can’t wait to wear it.  You put it on, check it out in the mirror and swish around a little to see how it feels.  You are so happy that you finally got something to wear at home that makes you feel beautiful and so comfortable.

This experience has recently happened to me.  The only difference is that I am a recent employee at SereneComfort (I know it’s like being a kid in a candy store).  I remember on the first day I came into SereneComfort to interview for a position.  I was in awe of all the nightgowns, pajamas, bed jackets, robe gown sets, dresses and loungewear they have to offer.  However, there was one particular nightgown that immediately caught my eye.   Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of browsing through all the styles and colors of sleepwear.  And we carry so many wonderful brands – each brand selected with women’s comfort in mind!  Eileen West, Miss Elaine, Shadowline, Lanz of Salzburg, Natori, and Calida just to name a few.   Even after all the browsing, that particular nightgown still stood out to me!

As a gift to myself, I finally bought it!  The gown that I’ve been looking at every day is made by Shadowline.  It’s a beautiful shimmering waltz (short) style nightgown made of opaque 100% nylon in sapphire.  I just love that color!  The deep and vibrant blue looks great in the silky soft fabric.  And talk about comfortable?  Once I put it on, I immediately felt relaxed.  Just the feeling of the material and the way it flowed when I moved made me feel so good.  I really like the neckline too.  This particular gown features flower petal embroidery and is so pretty.  The no-see-through nylon provided enough coverage so I didn’t have to wear a robe or bed jacket (though I did put one on later when I got chilly). 

When I went to bed that first night of wearing my new nightgown, I never slept better!  The softer than soft and silky flow of the gown kept me cool and comfortable all night long.  And it didn’t wrap around my legs.  I got up the next morning and was pleasantly surprised to see that my gown was not wrinkled. So I got out of bed looking nice too!

I love my new Shadowline Petals nightgown.  It‘s light, soft, comfortable, easy to wash, the right length, the right weight, the right neck...can you tell I like it?  

Happy in comfort,

Jodie L., SereneComfort.com

P.S.  I’ve got my eye on the matching Shadowline sapphire robe.  Then I’ll have a robe gown set. That’s my next purchase!
