Gift Guide 2025: Towels, Robes & Loungewear Picks

When it comes to treating a loved one, either for a special birthday or ‘just because’, home textiles and cosy touches make a fail-proof gift for anyone who loves home comforts. 

With that in mind, we've curated a selection of luxury gifts in Christy products that feel thoughtful, with optional, personalised extras. This is all about daily luxury that stands the test of time year after year. So, let's dig in and warm up with our essential Christy gift guide.

1. Best Bath Robe Gifts  (For Her, Him & Kids)

Whether it's a partner, a parent or a child, there's something eternally special about a robe. A comforting gift made for quiet evenings or wrapping up on cold mornings, it will never go out of fashion. Consider something that suits the giftee's style, whether it's a textured style with a hood, or something plush and extra warm. Here are a few ideas depending on who you're shopping for:

• Gifts for her: For comfort and everyday luxury, go for a classic women’s robe crafted from warm, breathable cotton and styled with twin pockets, like a Christy Cosy Robe and Serene Robe. Then there are the retro Swim Robes with a neck tie, made for beach or pool moments (yes, we'd wear ours after a winter swim). Fun fact, our Swim Robes are actually inspired by an original 1920s Christy design, which was the first swim robe invented.

• Gifts for him: Men's bathrobes really are a matter of personal style. Picks like our texture Brixton hooded robe are forever popular, as well as our quick-dry Waffle Robe. But for a unique gift, our Wimbledon Heirloom Robes hit all the marks. Made from recycled towel stock from previous years, you can consider it a Game, Set, Match.

• For kids and teens: For children and teenagers, comfort and fashion are two major aspects to consider. Christy's robes are all made from soft cotton to keep them wearable and cosy. Our Christy Mini range also has a collection of Organic Cotton robes which, incidentally, are made to match the adult Boundary Robe.

2. Best Luxury Towel Gifts for New Home Owners

The gift of towels? Yes please. If you consider this more of a housewarming gift only, think again. Towels, especially those luxurious by design, can be a thoughtful, lasting and classy gift option for almost anyone. From soft, face cloth stocking fillers to full towel bundles, there's an option for every home. 

As the inventors of the modern, fluffy towel with a heritage in innovation and quality that goes back to 1850, we are the experts in all things towels. The question now is which kind feels right to you? Here are just some of our customer favourites to start your search.

• Renaissance Towels: Renaissance towels are the perfect way to send a classic gift, with a fluffy feel (thanks to a long loop construction) in super soft Egyptian cotton. It's a traditional kind of luxury with Renaissance, thanks to a design based on our original towels in 1850 (a soft, long loop terry cotton weave), and a colour range that spans white and greens, you can tap into a festive feel.

• Supreme Towels: Made with plush Supima cotton, our Supreme towels are woven with a Hygro weave, which creates a hollow core within the yarns to boost absorbency and softness and allows for that extra fluffy feel after washing. Also note the choice of cotton, known as one of the best in the world and sourced from specific growing regions in the USA, renowned for its luxury, silky soft yarns.

• Signature Towels: Weighty, velvety soft and plush, Signature is our most luxurious towel, with a deep, cushiony feel that maximises warmth and indulgence. Crafted with Turkish cotton, which is known for its softness and high quality, this is a noteworthy towel for anyone who likes a more relaxed bathing ritual. Like most of our ranges, the collection includes face towels, hand towels, bath towels and bath sheets, so you can go as big as a full bundle or a small as a face cloth stocking filler.

• Fairfield Towels: If you're looking for a gift that's design-led, combined with the luxury craft Christy is known for, The Archive Collection is worth exploring. Fairfield is one centrepiece design, called after Christy's original Victorian cotton mill, and styled with iconic chequers and retro tassels. Little fact, it's also inspired by a 1950s Christy photoshoot, where supermodel Barbara Goalen posed wrapped in towels.

3. Cosy Throws & Blankets: Perfect Winter Gifts

One of the best gifts, especially during the chillier months, has to be a throw or blanket. On one hand, they're a perfectly practical gift, but they also add soft layers of design-worthy dimension. There's a throw for just about everyone, from the super thick and weighted to light and woolly, and this really depends on where the throw might live, whether it's the bed or the sofa, and who you're buying it for. Here's a roundup of some favourite styles with a seasonal colour twist:

• Jaipur: The ultimate decadence, Jaipur has been a longstanding bestseller at Christy, loved for its opulence and warmth. Available in red, jewelled tones, including a very seasonal Olive, this throw is crafted with a luxury cotton velvet face and a textured chambray reverse, and filled with a premium microfibre for warmth and weight. This one belongs on classically styled beds, or even as an extra plush sofa throw.

• Oslo Throws: Classic with its chunky knitted construction, this blanket combines a traditional, homely look with premium cotton yarns. Laidback and rustic, our pick for this season would have to be the red.

• Laundered Cotton: A different kind of look and feel comes with our Laundered Cotton bedspread. Laundered cotton is crafted in a certain way, starting with carefully selected cotton yarns, which are spun and woven, and then washed in a special step to 'relax' the cotton fibres. This ultimately creates a super-soft, cloud-like fabric feel. This bedspread is sized to cover your bed, with a light microfibre fill and a quilted effect.

• Harewood: We dip back into cotton velvet room highlights with this collection, but Harewood brings a slightly different aesthetic, inspired by traditional British Drawing Rooms and the light and shade of their grand windows. This means we have a subtle duotone, with a lighter reverse and a darker face, with little hand-knotting finishing touches, unique to each piece.

Quick styling tip: When it comes to throws and blankets, there are plenty of ways to use and enjoy them. Place over an arm of a sofa, ready to grab as needed, roll and store in a basket at floor level, or fold it neatly in half or thirds to rest across the centre or foot of your bed.

4. Seasonal Bedding

There's one easy way to make your bedroom feel special season after season, and that's with our new bedding sets. Ideal as gifts or for hosting, our Autumn-Winter bed linen is designed to honour British landscapes in colour tone and imagery, for a cosy retreat feel. Here's our favourites:

• Gingham: The classic Gingham design is based on original textile techniques and made from yarn to finished product by Christy. This is worth noting, as gingham fabric is often bought and then cut to size. Gingham is known primarily for its breathability and softness, and our seasonal choice is Gingham Ruffle, with a merlot check.

• White Flannel: Our beloved Flannel is back, and it's as popular as ever. This year, we've introduced a new, snowy White colourway. Think super soft, velvety brushed 100% cotton, with a warmth-bringing weave and skin-cocooning finish. It feels very much like sleeping on a cloud, or perhaps a fresh snow drift.

• Mistletoe: This embroidered design starts with a white, luxurious feeling cotton percale in a clean white. The mistletoe trim is added, embroidered meticulously, and based on Christy's art sketches of mistletoe berry lattices. Available in red or silver, it's wintery, but understated. We can see it on the bed for weeks, year after year.

• Thistle: This began life as a study into archive prints in British museums. Harnessing the feel of cosy lodges, our artists pencil-sketched the thistles before adding watercolour. This has been brought to life with all brush strokes preserved, and is available in Teal and Plum colourways for the seasonal bed.

5. Christy Pyjamas

It's a classic on a gift guide, but done right, a new pair of pyjamas still has the power to wow. In essence, this is about comfort, and Christy’s luxury pyjamas are the ideal mix of style and relaxation, tailored to look smart enough to wear all day, and comfortable enough to sleep in all night.

Crafted with luxury cotton, most of our designs are made to match our bed linen ranges, from our Gingham to our Pea Shoot, which is a blissful take on fully coordinated homes, and for curated family photos.

Here's what you need to know about our pyjama sets:

• They're made for supreme comfort: Crafted from high-quality cotton, either in our airy, sensory Gingham (just like our bed linen) or with a breathable, all-weather Hygro weave, which essentially keeps you cool when the temperature rises and warm when you need it.

• Stylish designs: Each is utterly unique to Christy and designed to never go out of style. Whether it's our Heart pyjamas in pure white with a red trim, or blue Gingham Oxford.

• Personalisation: Add a monogram to your pyjamas to make them feel personal in seconds. Embroidered with a careful touch, you simply need to give us your choice of initials, and we'll perfect the gift for you.

6. Ready-Made  Gift Sets

A final time-saving way to find the perfect present comes in the form of curated gift sets. From Wimbledon towel sets, to loungewear sets, or beautifully packaged Terry Socks (made with luxury Merino lamb's wool and styled with a large, retro stripe), there's plenty of inspiration.

If you have a budget in mind, select gifts under £50 (we love the Wimbledon Heirloom picks and the Christy Mini baby bags here). When it comes to easy gifting with big impact, this is your ultimate destination.

7. Personalised Gifts With Meaning

Our Personalisation Service has been designed to have that extra impact, with an easy process that starts when you pick your gift. If personalisation is available on your product, you have the option to add initials and check out your item, and we'll take care of the rest. Embroidered initials are available on robes, pyjamas and a selection of personalised towels, so you can add a sense of total luxury and extra thought in one easy sweep.

It's not just monograms that make a gift stand out; other meaningful and memorable options include adding your own note, which will be presented in a handwritten style font on a card within the box, and gift boxing, with a seasonal design in a keepsake box, which can be treasured and reused.

Wrapping up the Christy Gift Guide 2025

As we wrap up our list of gift ideas, we end on a suitably cosy note. We're a brand that's built on luxurious home comfort, and it makes seasonal decor and special occasions feel especially special for all of us here. This sentiment is the reason for our Gifting Concierge, a way for us to deliver monograms, personal notes and gift boxing, so you can send a present that looks as good as it feels. 

From those gifts in showstopping boxes to the comfort and style that Christy brings, your loved ones are going to cherish them. Happy gifting!

1. What are some affordable yet thoughtful gifts?

For an affordable gift that still feels special, try a well-crafted throw blanket or a set of soft hand towels in a seasonal colour. When it comes to comfort, a luxury pair of pyjamas or seasonally inspired bed linen is are perfect choice too.

2. How do I choose the perfect gift guide for someone who loves relaxing at home?

First, think about how they like to spend their free time. If they enjoy taking a long bath, luxury towels are ideal. If watching movies on the sofa is their favourite pastime, choose a soft blanket or a new pair of pyjamas. Ultimately, a gift that suits what they love to do at home adds a thoughtful edge.
