Holiday Gift Guide ~ Day Three - Sweet Dreams
Jonesing to wake up after a long (or short) night’s sleep looking like Sleeping Beauty, or Giselle Bundchen? It’s as easy as switching to a silk pillowcase. Well…not that easy, but it’s a start. Now I’m not talking the cheesy silk sheet sets from the 1970’s that may or may not have graced your parent’s waterbed. Today’s silk pillowcases are the ace in the hole to help you wake up looking like a Queen. Silk is well known to provide a smooth surface for your face to rest against and reduces the friction that cotton causes leading to fine lines and wrinkles. That’s right, even just changing you pillowcase can combat aging. Don’t you love that? Silk pillowcase are also good for your hair, especially if you toss and turn through the night. While I can’t guarantee you wake up with Elsa’s flowing locks, you will have less tangles. Silk pillowcases are also much cooler to sleep on that cotton - think hot nights, or hot flashes. Silk is also great for allergy suffers because it’s breathable. It’s also just straight up pretty and feels luxurious. You can find the PUR Silk Pillowcase at Sleep Country Canada for $58.99. You can also find a very pretty Silk Sleep Set which includes a pillowcase, a sleep mask and scrunchie (all silk) at Au Lit Fine Linens for $148.00.
I think this is a really thoughtful gift and it’s on my wish list this year. After all…we could all use a better night’s sleep!
P.S. A reminder that it’s also Giving Tuesday and that a donation to a friend or family member’s favourite charity or organization in their name also makes a very personal gift.
