Blank Christmas pyjamas

The kids’ sets are 100% cotton, about 200 gsm, with a long raglan sleeve. The top body is white. The sleeves and bottoms are coloured, striped or printed. There is no brand label in the neck. The kids’ sets linked here run from 6–12 months to 5–6 years. Check the size guide before you guess from age. Baby sets are a separate, smaller range.

Christmas Eve boxes

Pyjamas earn their place in a Christmas Eve box because they are the thing a child puts on that night. A first name on the chest is enough. Around them, people often tuck a book, a sachet of hot chocolate, and a small toy or decoration. The box does not need a theme for every item. One personalised pair carries it.

Order earlier than the week of Christmas. A size that is easy to find in October is the size other people are also packing. Personalising takes a press or a stitch-out, and vinyl then wants 24 hours before a first wash. Leave yourself that day, plus a spare top if you are trying a film you have not used on jersey before.

Names and slogans

A first name, or a short line such as a nickname, is HTV. Standard PU is the everyday film. EcoStretch, at 120°C, is the cooler stretch film if the chest will be pulled when the top goes on. Keep the wording inside the suggested widths on the HTV page. “Merry Christmas” is long. On a 6–12 month top it usually needs two lines, or you drop it and stitch or press the name only. Widening a slogan until it touches the raglan seam is how the ends peel.

Glitter is the festive film people reach for. It is also 160°C on the charts here, and thicker than everyday PU. Fine on cotton if you cover the top and test a spare. It is a poor choice for a long sentence. A glitter initial, or a short name, is the kinder use.

A stitched name feels quieter on nightwear. Stabiliser and hoop notes are on the embroidery page. A full-colour scene, a character you have drawn, a photo, is DTF, not sublimation. These sets are cotton. The honest version of that question is on the sublimation page.

Colours and patterns

Red stripe is the Christmas classic in this range: a white chest, with a red stripe on the sleeves and bottoms. It is a stripe, not a solid red suit. A name in green, cream or white stays readable on the white body. Red vinyl can disappear at a glance once the eye hits the red sleeve, so keep the film on the chest and off the stripe.

Heart, teddy and bunny prints are the softer sets. The pattern stays on the sleeves and bottoms. The chest is still plain white, which is what you want if the name is doing the seasonal work. Stars, unicorns, clouds and the fairy print are the same idea. They are grouped on the size guide if red feels too loud for the child.

A colour-and-white set, blue, pink, sage or mink, is the right pick when the design should be the only pattern. Navy or black vinyl on a mink or sage sleeve-colour still belongs on the white chest, where you can see the edges.

If you are selling the finished nightwear, UK labelling rules still apply. A Christmas name does not change them. See the children’s clothing page. This site is not legal advice.
