Making it special requires some thought?

Every woman likes to be thought of as special, and when you want to make sure that she knows that the robe is just for her, consider monograming the pocket or placket. If she is a business owner, why not consider scanning in her logo and have a service embroider it directly onto the bathrobe for her?

What accessories should I choose?

If you want to get the woman in your life the full set, you can of course start with the traditional nightgown, slippers or pajamas, but what else can you do? You may also wish to look for matching eye pillows, cosmetics case, or spa wrap, or even a matching pair of socks or a lovely warm head band.

Maybe I can embellish it?

The major difference between an ordinary women’s robe and a magnificent one lies in the fabric and the style in which the robe is cut. Top of the range men’s or women’s robes can be made out of a soft thick cotton or silk. The thickness of the cotton determines how warm the bathrobe will be when worn. A 20 oz cotton is used for making the warmest robes. Some are even lined with a terrycloth inside to keep the lucky wearer extra warm in those days when he or she desides to take the plunge into an icy lake or stream.

Some of the really luxurious robes come with a detachable lining. On hot summer days, when you want to wear something more flimsy as you hold a quiet conversation in the shade of an acacia tree, the silk-and-terrycloth lining comes off from its thick exterior and caresses your skin with its cooling touch. And this is what you can call comfort!
