Default Need to buy the wife pajamas for Xmas

The problem is that when I walk into a women's store, half the stuff looks like pajamas, then I look at a mannequin and its wearing what I thought were pajama bottoms and some fancy top that she would wear out at night Any suggestions where to look?

Speaking from experience, my wife's favourite pajamas have been Stanfield Long Johns, and a T-shirt or tank top.

I've since had to by myself new longjohns, as she has claimed mine...

I'd check walmart or costco. Don't need to spend an arm and a leg!

I'll do a huge detour in Sears to avoid the ladies section. Barred from some of the 'fancy' stores at the mall too.

In short, I'm no help, but could be an entertaining thread!

My daughter is working at a lingerie store in Crossiron mills for the holiday season, she told me that all the husbands and boyfriends have to do is let the staff know what the lady’s like and they’re more than willing to help, the most important thing is to know their size and favourite colour and how warm they want to be. My wife needs PJs too.

If you're in Edmonton, Cloud Nine on 125th street and 102 Ave has all sorts of nice jammies for women.
I get my wife new ones every Christmas from there.
If anywhere else, there's always Victoria Secret. They have everything from sexy lingerie to flannel onsies. Pretty decent prices too.
Like someone already said, make sure you know her size and preference of style/colour.

I was about to mention Cloud Nine. They also have a location in Windermere.

If she's over 50 don't forget to get the moisture wicking type of jammies.
A good set of earplugs goes well with them too.

Attempted order was very painful then once order complete I was advised that shipping would be $69.95 usd. Not happening!!

How old is the wife? Is she at the stage of silk and lace or flannel and a bath robe?

Did you bother asking for help from a woman that works in the store? have some fun with it, be nice, you might get someone to model it for you.

Went to Cloud Nine and bought a nice pair of onzies for my girl. Nice quality, plush and a decent price. Should be plenty warm for her.

I'm not allowed to go there since "The incident".

In my defense, She did look like a mannequin.
