Silk gifts: which one, for whom
Share
The short answer
Choose by the person, then by the budget. A scrunchie for a small thank-you; an eye mask for a traveller or a light sleeper; the headband for someone with a skincare routine; a bonnet for blowouts, curls or braids; the pillowcase for the one who has everything; the GiftBox when you want the whole night in one box.
The list is on the fridge, and the first names are easy. Then come the others: the colleague you know a little, the friend who travels every month, the sister with the long curls, the person who already has everything.
Silk is a good answer for most of them, provided you choose the piece that fits their life. Here is how, person by person, then budget by budget.
Which silk gift for which person?
| For | The gift | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| A colleague, a Secret Santa | A scrunchie | Small, useful every day, in five colours |
| The friend with long hair | Two scrunchies, M and L | One for the day, one to tie hair loosely at night |
| The traveller | An eye mask | Darkness, softly, on a plane or in a hotel |
| The skincare devotee | The headband | Hair held back, hands free for skincare |
| The blowout lover | The Glow bonnet | A twist-front turban for the nights after the salon |
| Short to mid-length hair | The Comfort bonnet | Everyday silk, effortlessly |
| Curls, braids or locs | The Cover bonnet | Long, with a tail: room for every curl |
| The one who has everything | The pillowcase | Silk where they rest, every night |
| A big occasion | The GiftBox | The pillowcase, the eye mask and two scrunchies, ready to give |
Which silk gift for which budget?
From the smallest token to the gift a group gives together. Prices show in your currency.
- A small gift. A silk scrunchie: Medium ($11), Large ($16) or XL ($20). The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) advises covered bands made for styling hair; a scrunchie is exactly that, in silk.
- A considered gift. The eye mask ($41), one size. For a traveller, it is the piece the NHS mentions in its jet-lag advice: an eye mask and earplugs, if they help you sleep on board. Or the headband ($43), for the minutes at the basin, morning and evening.
- A gift for their hair. A silk bonnet: the Comfort ($46), the Glow ($58) or the Cover ($70). Our bonnet guide helps you choose the shape.
- A gift for every night. The silk pillowcase ($99), with an envelope closure and an embroidered S monogram.
- The full set. The GiftBox ($162), for a birthday, a wedding or a gift from a group of friends.
Which pieces go well together?
Two pieces in the same silk often make a better gift than one larger one.
- The eye mask and a scrunchie, in the same colour: a small, matched set for a traveller.
- The Glow and the pillowcase, for the nights after the salon: silk on the hair and under it.
- The headband and the eye mask, for the evening routine, from the basin to bed.
- The Cover and an XL scrunchie, for long curls, braids or locs.
How do you choose the colour and the size?
You do not need to know their wardrobe. Look at their jewellery and their bed.
- Colour. The GiftBox page gives a simple rule: mostly gold jewellery, choose Gold or Bronze; rose gold jewellery, Rose gold; silver, Silver; a taste for deep shades, Burgundy. The eye mask and the scrunchies come in all five; the headband and the Glow in Rose gold or Gold; the Comfort in Rose gold; the Cover in black.
- Pillowcase size. A glance at their bed is enough: rectangular pillows take the Standard 50 × 70 cm (Rose gold or Gold), square pillows the Euro 65 × 65 cm (Gold).
- Scrunchie size. The Medium is slim, for braids, fine hair or the wrist; the Large is the everyday one, for ponytails and buns; the XL holds top knots and thick hair. Our scrunchie size guide goes into detail.
- Bonnet size. There is one size, with a soft elastic opening, so you only choose the shape.
- Eye mask. One size.
What is in the Siluxe GiftBox?
Four pieces of mulberry silk, gathered in one box: our silk pillowcase (the same one sold on its own), the eye mask, a Medium scrunchie and a Large scrunchie. It comes in five colourways, already matched: Gold and Rose gold, all four pieces in one shade; Burgundy and Bronze, with a Gold pillowcase; Silver, with a Rose gold pillowcase. The pillowcase is Standard 50 × 70 cm in every colourway, or Euro 65 × 65 cm in Gold, Burgundy and Bronze.
Everything is presented in the Siluxe gift box, each piece in its place, ready to give.
Can you send a silk gift straight to them?
Yes. At checkout, enter their name and address as the delivery address; the order confirmation is emailed to you, as the GiftBox page explains.
Gifts for a team
For a team, a client list or a wedding party, write to us before you order. Send a WhatsApp message or an email to info@siluxe.fr with the number of gifts, the pieces you have in mind and the date you need them by, and we will come back to you with what is possible.
Where Siluxe fits
Every Siluxe gift is 100% mulberry silk, 22 momme, Grade 6A, OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, certificate 26.HCN.36686, tested for harmful substances, and designed in Paris. Hair glides over silk instead of rubbing, so blowouts last and mornings start with fewer tangles, which is why the bonnets, the scrunchies and the pillowcase make gifts that get used.
Complimentary delivery from $100 on USD orders: the GiftBox on its own qualifies, and so do the pillowcase and the eye mask together.
FAQ
What is a good silk gift for someone who has everything?
A silk pillowcase: something they will use every night and are unlikely to buy for themselves. Choose the Standard 50 × 70 cm for a rectangular pillow or the Euro 65 × 65 cm for a square one. For a bigger occasion, the GiftBox adds the eye mask and two scrunchies.
What is a good small silk gift?
A silk scrunchie, in Medium, Large or XL and in five colours, or two in different sizes. For a little more, the eye mask or the headband. Each comes in 100% mulberry silk, 22 momme, Grade 6A.
What is in the Siluxe GiftBox?
The silk pillowcase, the eye mask, a Medium scrunchie and a Large scrunchie, in one of five matched colourways, presented in the Siluxe gift box, ready to give. The pillowcase comes in Standard 50 × 70 cm, or Euro 65 × 65 cm in three of the colourways.
Can I send a Siluxe gift directly to the recipient?
Yes. At checkout, enter their name and address as the delivery address. The order confirmation is emailed to you, not to them.
Which colour should I choose for a gift?
Look at their jewellery: Gold or Bronze for gold, Rose gold for rose gold, Silver for silver, Burgundy for someone who likes deep shades. If in doubt, a GiftBox colourway pairs the pieces for you.
