I recently bought for my second cousin from Puerto Rico a sleep shirt by Macy's private label Ande. I was wondering, does anyone have any experiences with this brand? How is the quality? How is the fit? I thought this brand would be nice for her since they are available in familiar shades of pink (Fairy Tale and Cradle Pink) and pink is her favorite color, and she has a lot of pink sleepwear.

Buying sleepware for your female second cousin?

No, nothing odd about that.

Sorry ... I have no experience with the brand.

This. Stop buying clothing of any kind for distant relatives. Get a gift card at best. I would think it was really bizarre if my kid received a pajama gift from a grown man.

And you already said she has lots of sleepwear. You are obsessed literally obsessed with pink....maybe she isn't.

And some realllllllly obscure "label"? Lawd.

I do know for a fact that pink is her favorite color.

At least for my male friends and family I have been buying less pink than I have in the past. For my pastor's birthday this month I bought a blue gingham button down. For my grandfather for Christmas I bought some beige golf shorts.

For my other second cousin I bought her accessories from Stein Mart.

For my younger first cousins I bought them gift cards (a Forever 21 gift card for my younger female first cousin, and a Chili's gift card for my younger male first cousin). Still undecided on my older first cousin but I am thinking a Banana Republic gift card.

For my aunt in Puerto Rico (I will be going there for Christmas) I bought her a blouse from Stein Mart. I just need to figure out what to give my grandmothers, but one of my grandmothers probably needs money.

My brother I will probably give him an Amazon gift card.

My mother I will probably buy her a Stein Mart gift card. My father I will probably buy him a new belt.

You must have a small family. I don't even buy for first cousins. We draw names at Thanksgiving for a Christmas gift exchange and call it a day.


It's pajamas, I'm sure they are fine...

I personally think you don't buy someone clothing (certainly not your pastor!!!) - unless you know them really, really, really well!

I know you probably mean well but do NOT buy clothing for your pastor or a blouse for your aunt.

People would much prefer the cash you spend on stuff YOU like vs. them.
