Robes are ideal casual wear. You can sport a stylish robe while relaxing by the pool or Jacuzzi; you can wear a robe getting in and out of bed; and nothing is as comfortable going to and from the shower as a nice terry bathrobe. If you want a great and versatile gift for a woman on Christmas, or on her birthday, how about a new luxury bathrobe?

There are many women who collect bathrobes, and its obvious to see why. There are so many great styles available that a woman can easily find herself owning six or seven different ones. Do you want a new bathrobe? Are you thinking of gifting someone else with a great, comfortable robe? Think about the many options that are available.

Hooded Bathrobe

Some of the nicer bathrobes out there come with an attached hood. Why worry about catching a cold with your wet hair, when you can simply pull up that soft terry hood and have your head stay snug and warm until your hair finally dries?

If you’re lucky enough to own a winter vacation home with an outdoor jacuzzi, this is the robe you need to get in and out. If you know someone who has just moved to a colder climate, how about surprising them with a warm, cozy hooded housecoat the next time you have to get them a gift?

Ballerina Robe

For warm summer days, by contrast, consider owning a ballerina robe. These airy garments usually end above knee-level, and are perfect for lounging by the pool, getting out of bed, and or simply prancing around the house. The light fabric makes these robes an ideal gift for someone who lives where there are hot, dry summers.

Full Length Robe

This is the robe with which you’re most likely to be provided at a fancy hotel or resort. They go down close to the floor, and usually have a belt or a sash to keep them from opening. They can be made of thick or thin fabric, depending on the buyer’s preferences. If you don’t hurriedly want to wrap yourself in an uncomfortable towel when you’re going in and out of the shower, a full-length robe is probably your best solution. Give this one to a woman who wants to spend her mornings in comfort and style.

Bathrobes as Gifts

As described above, bathrobes make great gifts for women for nearly all occasions. Imagine:

· Your lady is going backpacking through Europe? As a going-away present, give her a robe, so she can enjoy the comfort in crowded hostels when taking a shower.

· Having a white Christmas? Give her a luxurious cosy robe with a hood for warmth while its snows outside.

· Is she expecting a baby? Give her a pretty robe on her baby shower, so she has a stylish alternative to the ugly hospital gown.

Picking the right bathrobe for a woman isn't too hard. Just ask yourself some basic questions. What will the weather be like when she wears it? Is she going to use it mainly indoors or outdoors? What colors does she like? Does she already have a closet-full of bathrobes? What style of women’s robe is she missing from her collection? Answer these questions, and you’re set!
