Where do you buy your kids' pajamas?

[PeacefulChaos]

I'm full of questions today :lol: :D

I've noticed that pajamas for the boys are something I forget about. :blush: Pink, not so much, possibly because I still help her get ready for bed and stuff...

I always get them pajamas for Christmas.

I really like Carter's, BUT everywhere I look they're just so expensive. I did find a bunch on sale for Pink last spring, but I (once again!) forgot to look for the boys.

I want to say they've been wearing the same ones for 3-5 years. :leaving:

Oh, dear.

Anyway, so where is a good place to get pjs for kids? That doesn't cost a lot? Or do you just do department store sales or the like?

:bigear: Thanks!!

[NotSoObvious]

Crazy 8 or Gymboree for winter jammies. They get down to $10-12 a pair and are excellent quality. I buy them a size big as they tend be snug.

[Jennifer in MI]

I've been buying my older kids' lounge pants at Plato's Closet or another thrift store in the area. They wear a t-shirt with it.

 

My dd has a bunch of hand-me-downs and I don't think I've ever bought her pajamas. The softest ones are from Hanna Andersson with Gymboree coming in a close second.

[frugalmama]

Khols had a bunch on clearance a while back - both boys and girls. I saw Carter's for $4-5 for sets.

[Jpoy85]

Goodwill here but its hard to find gowns for the girls. N is easy to buy jammies for.

[Element]

Usually the kids' pajamas come from Bergner's (Carson's) sales, but sometimes I luck out at one of the children's consignment shops. When they were tiny, I could find cute pajamas at Goodwill, but I never have any luck there anymore. My mom always finds great deals at Kohl's.

[Cera]

Costco or Old Navy

 

Costco often has the Carters sets (fleece pants and shirt) or dresses for around $10 and Old Navy always has a good selection of lounge pants and sleep shirts. I like sleep shirts rather than t-shirts since they fit snugly.

[MeaganS]

They either wear t-shirts and undies, or footie pjs. I get the footie pjs at consignment sales. I couldn't afford them otherwise, but this way I get them for $1-$3 each. They do have a few other pj sets, but those are from grandmas or hand-me-downs from friends.

[Beth S]

We gave up trying to keep 2 sets of pjs for 5 kids, who were constantly growing.

 

We switched to fleece sweat pants and a favorite Tshirt that is slightly too small or has a stain on it. I don't think the boys would stand wearing pjs now.

 

However, my dear SIL did sew fleece pj pants for EVERYONE who came to her house for Christmas a few years back--I think she sewed 12 pairs!?! It was a fun surprise for everyone.

[LucyStoner]

Mostly they wear Hannas from the outlet that are years old- my younger son in his brother's pass downs and my older son can still wear the 130s I bought when he was 7ish.

 

Most recent pj purchases were Goodwill Outlet. I can't beat $1.29 a pound!

[JennyD]

Costco.

[shinyhappypeople]

Thrift stores. Much nicer to pay $2 for fleece bottoms than $10. Pair with a t-shirt and we're good to go.

Oh.my.gosh. I must find me a Goodwill Outlet.

[KRG]

For the 2 year old Carters, Osh Kosh, Walmart, Target. The teen--hanes or fruit of the loom t-shirt and pj pants from Walmart or Target.

[magnificent_baby]

If not used, then The Children's Place. Just got a few summer pairs on clearance for 4.99, then another 20% off with a coupon. I do buy them a size up and they fit perfect.

[gingersmom]

When my kids were younger I bought Saras Prints pajamas from Childrens Wear Digest (http://www.cwdkids.com)

 

They are pricey but last forever. Your kids will outgrow them, hand them down and they will still be going strong. Best of all they are all cotton.

[Element]

Oh.my.gosh. I must find me a Goodwill Outlet.

 

I think prices vary by location. Pajamas at my Goodwill are $4.99 & up.

[lexi]

We only do all cotton jammies and I find the at Carters or at Target. I try to buy them on sale or I request them as Christmas gifts from the inlaws. :D My kids wear jammies all day on days that we don't leave the house. They think it's a special treat and privilege not to get dressed. They beg for jammie days! So, I have to make sure we have lots of jammie options on hand! But, my hubby thinks the good quality jammies are worth it because I do less laundry (if they don't get dressed during the day) and it really is cheaper than buying tons of outfits. So, they actually need less real clothes because we schedule some at-home days each week where we don't have to get dressed. At least, those are my justifications for all those really cute matching jammie sets............I love to buy books and jammies. It's a problem! :lol:

[Alessandra]

Summer -- PJ bottoms from Target plus an old T shirt. For dd, boys Target PJ bottoms plus T shirt or cami.

Winter -- Target PJs tops and bottoms.

 

For Xmas, I get Children's Place PJs -- extra thick.

[Annie Laurie]

I get Carter's pjs for $8 a pair when I go to the Carter's outlet and use a coupon, which they almost always have available, for 20 or 25% off. But only my baby is small enough. I also get him Hanna Andersson zippers at Costco for $11 or $12 each, can't recall which.

 

The older kids I get pjs for at The Children's Place. ETA: They were around $9 each with a 30% off coupon I had. TCP always has coupons if you can stand getting emails. Oh, I do get the baby cotton TCP footy pjs, for around $7 ea with coupon.

 

I only buy cotton pjs, I don't know how much fleece ones cost.

[amo_mea_filiis.]

I don't. Both wear a t-shirt, or tanktop, shorts, sweats, nothing, or whatever else they feel like wearing.

[Unicorn.]

Target or Walmart.

[txmommyofboys]

crazy 8 or old navy

[Forget-Me-Not]

We do a lot of Carters and Old Navy. I love the Old Navy long john/short john jammies (depending on season) and they run a 2 pairs for $20 sale on them from time to time. Plus they come in fun seasonal prints, which I can never resist :D My kids often get Halloween jammies, and our family tradition is that they get Christmas jammies on Christmas eve wear them all day Christmas Day.

[thebacabunch]

My dd's both wear nightgowns that I get at target or walmart (usually on clearance). My ds hates pj's and wears a t-shirt to bed. My kids all love wearing dh's tshirts to bed.

[happypamama]

My 3yo is wearing Carter's sleepers that were the 7yo's, and my baby is wearing Carter's sleepers that at least the 3 and 7yo wore, if not the 10yo. My MIL shops department stores and is a whiz at sales, so she often buys stuff that's only a few dollars and sets it aside until it fits someone.

 

Other than that, I've found pajamas at the thrift store, but often sweats or sweatshirts or t-shirts work too, and they always seem to have those around. Flannel pants are also super easy and super cheap to sew (especially with coupons from JoAnn's).

[Arcadia]

For cold nights, my boys like the fleece sleepers from Sears that we get at post-season sale. When its not cold, they don't like sleepwear.

[Laura Corin]

Land's End on deep discount. Just bought flannel pyjama bottoms for Hobbes - he wears them with t-shirts.

 

Laura

[lailasmum]

I tend not to bother too much for my son, he will wear whatever appropriate trousers I can find with a t shirt, though I did used to buy him Next snuggle pyjamas or whatever they are called. My eldest I tend to buy from M&S or Next, I struggle with winter pyjamas for her, stuff is never long enough.

[lynn]

I usually get my dd at Kohls because they usually have a good doll and me selection and they are cute and hold up. I have also seen some cute pajamas at JCPenney and Target

 

Same for the boys I get them flannel bottoms and regular t-shirts at Kohls. When they were little I think I purchased most at JcPenney. They loved the superhero ones. For my ds who use to be cold all the time I did purchase fleece pj's at lands end. It was pricey but worth the money.

[besroma]

Kohls, Target, or JCPenney.

[AnIslandGirl]

Garnet Hill, Hanna Andersson, Wooden Soldier

[AdventureMoms]

I like the cheapie sweatpants from Walmart. For $3.88/pr you can't beat the price and they can be worn for daytime too. :-D We throw on a t-shirt or thermal henley (weather dependant). I also like the old navy pj's for the kids - they have a couple of matching sets of those. Most of our pj's arre grandma gifts though.

[Kathryn]

They wear T-shirts, long or short sleeved, and cotton knit shorts or sweat pants.

[mirth]

Pajamas? They wear t-shirts and shorts, or sweatshirts and sweatpants to bed depending on the season.

[plath]

My older dd wears sweats and tees in the winter and cotton shorts and tees or tanks in the summer. I get her lots of cute "travel" / souvenir tees in the boys section of the thrift store. The bonus is they're usually Michigan lake towns she's actually been to and they're always very cheap ($1-$2). I don't like that most of the commercial pj's are polyester in her size.

 

My younger dd wears Carter cotton sets usually. I can find them relatively cheap still in her size.

[DarlaS]

I think prices vary by location. Pajamas at my Goodwill are $4.99 & up.

 

I'm thinking a Goodwill "Outlet" is a different thing than a regular Goodwill. Maybe? I don't really know...

[DarlaS]

This thread is reminding me of marathon pj sewing sessions that I have not done in years. :sad: I just placed an order from The Children's Place and they are sold out (as always!) of my kid's sizes. Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something. :tongue_smilie:

 

Need to teach my dd to sew. Maybe today! She is recently reminding me of all her outgrown pj's.

[Momof3littles]

Hanna Andersson PJs that have been passed down from kid to kid. These are the less form fitting ones they were still able to sell a few years ago.

 

We have two pairs of pjs from The Children's Place that held up almost as well as our Hannas, so if I could find that style again, I'd buy it.

 

We also use the organic PJs from Costco (Kirkland brand) that are about $12/pr and come in really cute designs. I size up on these. DD has 2 pairs of those I found at Goodwill, which was great since I knew I already liked those on her.

[Wheres Toto]

Walmart or Target. I buy them big and they wear them for years.

 

DD wears the fleece pj pants usually with Tinkerbell or princesses on them with no shirt, a nightgown, or just underwear. She is NEVER cold.

 

DS won't wear anything but sweatpants and t-shirts, so he often wears his regular clothes to bed. He does have some pj sets and fleece pants that he uses when he visits MIL mostly. He recently has tried out sleeping in nothing.

[BlsdMama]

Mostly they wear Hannas from the outlet that are years old- my younger son in his brother's pass downs

 

:grouphug:

 

Thank you. I hadn't thought to check before now, but it turns out we have a Hanna outlet not terribly far from here. I only buy or make pjs for Christmas.

[Mommy_of_4]

Usually from Carters. I never pay more than $11 for a pair.

[RanchGirl]

Gap or Gymboree when they were little, Gap or Lands End now that they are older. Sometimes Old Navy but sometimes their fabric isn't as soft... for PJs it has to be soft!

[KungFuPanda]

I usually find cheap pjs at Target, or I make the pants and buy t-shirts to go with them. My son is 12 now and lately he's been sleeping in boxers and white t-shirts. He claims pjs are now uncomfortable. :glare:

[Jan in SC]

I really miss the Sara's Prints from CWD Kids. They were precious and I could match them! Hanna Andersson has really cute stripey (just a fun word!) ones, especially for the holidays.

 

Now that the boys are older, it's Pajama bottoms with tees to wear around the house. I find them at department stores, Kohls, Target. For the holidays, I'll splurge and get a pair from Vineyard Vines.
