Is a silk pillowcase a good present?

[Starryskiesinthesky]

Thinking of giving one to my sons girlfriend who will be 22. Is it an ok present for this age group?

I have my god daughter who is 23 one for Christmas and she LOVED it, proper loved it. My 22 year old daughter though would look at me as if I had two heads if I got her one. It’s a case of know your audience.

I'd love that!

My dd loves hers!

Hmm know your audience is a worry as I don't really know her well! Sounds hopeful tho!

Perhaps ask your son if she's into skin/hair care? It's a really good idea for someone who is.

Does depend on whether that person is aware of how beneficial they can be to skin, hair and sleep. If they aren't into that sort of thing they may just think 'you bought me... a pillowcase.. Okaaaay'.

My DD loves hers and won't sleep without it now. It has done wonders for her curly hair. I reckon if the recipient is into her hair and appearance, it would be a lovely present.

I have one to my 24yo sister recently and she was really pleased. She's into beauty and knows about that sort of thing (I knew that she already had a silk turban and scrunchies for similar reasons).

Thanks 🙏 I think I will go with it and hope for the best!

what a lovely present

Thanks for posting this. Just ordered one for SIL's birthday this week!!

I've got one and gave it away, it did absolutely zilch for my curly hair or skin and felt really weird to sleep on.

Ooh I'd love one but agree a little bit of research would help.

Just a heads up in case anyone is considering buying for someone who is vegan - silk isn’t vegan friendly. There is at least one brand that sells pillowcases made with ethically made silk though.

Stupid idea

Surely you then have one pillow that doesn't match your other ones? I've wondered this for a while but suspect I must be missing something!

Yes, I’d love one !

Love it. Has really made such a difference to my skin and hair, I would love one as a present

Yes, they are lovely!

If you're that bothered about what your bed looks like when you're not in it, you could cover it with one that matches your bedding during the day.

What about a silk hair wrap instead? I got one for my sister for Christmas and she loves it. A pillowcase it a bit of a difficult gift I think unless you know what her bedding is like to get one that will go.

Rude! How is it stupid? Most people that are into skin/haircare will know that they are supposed to be beneficial, but they are expensive, so may seem too extravagant to buy for yourself. I think often the best presents are things that you would like, but can't justify buying.

I would love one but always worry about face cream and a silk pillowcase. I wear it everynight and have very dry skin so I use quite a lot.

I'd love it as a gift though

I've just bought them for my Nieces (16 & 18) for Christmas and apparently I'm the coolest Aunty ever...
