The best Mother's Day pajama gift is a set she will reach for every night: a soft TENCEL™ Modal classic for everyday comfort, or washable silk for something that feels special but still goes in the wash. Start with how she sleeps, then choose the fabric, the cut and the finishing touches, such as a robe or a monogram.
Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday in May in the United States. The Library of Congress credits Anna Jarvis of Grafton, West Virginia, with launching the campaign for a national day to honor mothers.
Start with how she sleeps
- If she runs warm, choose shorts or short sleeves. The Gisele TENCEL™ Modal Relaxed Short PJ Set ($148, sizes XXS–XXL) pairs a short-sleeve top with relaxed shorts, with a roomy shape and extra coverage.
- If she runs cool or loves a classic, choose a long set. The Gisele TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set ($158, sizes XXS–XXL) has a piped long-sleeve top and relaxed pant in TENCEL™ Modal and a touch of elastane.
- If she loves something luxurious, choose silk. The Inez Washable Silk Long PJ Set ($298, sizes XS–XL) is made from 100% mulberry silk, produced using bluesign®-certified processes and verified by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100.
Choose the fabric
| Fabric | How Eberjey describes it | Care | Set to consider |
|---|---|---|---|
| TENCEL™ Modal | Buttery soft and breathable, with a touch of elastane for stretch | 30°C/86°F mild fine wash, per Eberjey's care guide | Gisele TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set |

For washing tips, our guide to caring for washable silk walks through each step.
Get the size right
The Gisele Long and Relaxed Short sets come in XXS to XXL, and Inez sets in XS to XL. If you are unsure of her size, check Eberjey's women's pajama size guide, which lists body measurements for each size. A relaxed cut, such as the Gisele Relaxed Short PJ Set, leaves a little more room for error.
Add a finishing touch
- A robe. The Mariana TENCEL™ Modal Robe ($168, sizes XS–XL) is a lightweight TENCEL™ Modal robe with flowy sleeves and lace detailing. For a simpler style, the Gisele TENCEL™ Modal Everyday Long Robe ($148, sizes XS–XL) has kimono sleeves, side pockets and an adjustable belt.
- An eye mask. The Inez Washable Silk Eye Mask ($48, one size) is made from 100% Washable Silk, a small addition that pairs with any set.
- Slippers. The Sherpa Slipper ($78, sizes S–L) has a soft plush upper and a cushioned insole.
- A monogram. Monogramming is available on eligible styles, including Gisele and Inez sets. You can add up to six letters, stitched just above the pocket piping, and Eberjey suggests allowing 7–10 business days before personalized pieces ship. See how monogramming works for details.

Wrap it beautifully
Presentation is part of the gift. A gift box is available for $10, so the set arrives ready to give. If you would rather let her choose, the Eberjey Digital Gift Card comes in amounts from $50 to $500 and is delivered by email, ready to forward. You can pair a card with a small one-size piece, such as the eye mask, so there is still something to unwrap.
Plan ahead
If you are adding a monogram, order early enough to allow 7–10 business days before shipping, plus delivery time, so the gift arrives before the second Sunday in May. Without a monogram, it still helps to order a little early, so you have time to settle on a size and color.
