We all have that friend—the sleepy friend. The one who shows up late, coffee in hand, ready with their well-worn excuse: “Sorry, I fell asleep!”
This person is never shy about leaving a party or gathering to head to bed, or maybe they’ll just curl up on the couch in the corner, right here … just for a minute.
If this friend were in the movie Snow White , they’d be Sleepy, for sure.
But now that it’s time to find the perfect gift for the Sleeping Beauty in your life, you might be racking your brain on what to get this special individual. Especially because all they seem to want is more sleep.
Fear not, we’ve outlined a collection of gifts for people who love to sleep.
Dream Big, Spend Small: Sleep Gifts Under $50
If you’re not sure what to give to someone who loves sleeping, don’t be afraid to go back to the basics. These thoughtful picks prove you don’t have to spend big to give the gift of better sleep.
Infuse their nighttime routine with warmth with one of the following gift ideas:
Night Light
Giving a night light to someone who loves to sleep might seem counterintuitive, but think about it—this person loves to sleep so much that they might not realize a night light is exactly what they need to keep on dreaming. The right kind of night light will help a person stay in their sleepy state. Low lighting can actually help the body relax and fall asleep more easily.1 This is because melatonin, the sleep hormone, is released in response to darkness or low light.2
Finding the perfect night light can be tricky, but gifting a night light with adjustable brightness is a surefire way to improve their sleep quality and light up your sleepy friend’s face this season.
Silk Sleep Mask
A silk sleep mask is a small luxury with big benefits. Soft, breathable, and gentle on skin, it helps block out light so your sleep-loving friend can drift off faster and stay asleep longer. Casper’s Silk Sleep Mask features 100% Mulberry silk, reducing friction while feeling ultra-smooth against the face—a simple upgrade that adds serious luxury to any bedtime routine.
Sleep Herbs & Essential Oils
Help them unwind naturally with sleep herbs and essential oils. Calming scents like lavender, chamomile, and cedarwood can reduce stress and prepare the body for rest, while herbal teas with valerian or passionflower add a relaxing bedtime ritual. Pair a soothing tea blend with a high-quality essential oil or diffuser to turn their nightly wind-down into a spa-like experience—all without leaving the bedroom.
Sleep Journal
A sleep journal helps turn rest into a ritual. It gives your favorite dreamer a space to note bedtime routines, track how they feel in the morning, and discover what habits lead to their best nights of sleep. This mindfulness technique is a simple way to make every night a little smoother and every morning a little brighter. They might also choose to use your gift as a dream journal, capturing and reflecting on the stories, symbols, and strange adventures that happen while they sleep.
Meditation & Mindfulness App Subscription
Prioritize relaxation when giving a gift to someone who loves to get their beauty sleep. When it’s time to get some shut-eye, they’ll be ready to turn off the world and fall into a deeper, more restful slumber. A guided meditation or mindfulness app can help them relax and reset, while screen time–limiting apps can gently remind them when it’s time to power down. Studies have found that limited screen time and more intentional relaxation time can help improve and increase beauty sleep.3
Zen Board
A zen board is a meditative tool that lets you “paint” on water—and then watch your creations gently fade away as the water evaporates. It’s the perfect reminder to let go of the day’s stresses before bed. This mindful gift helps sleepers unwind, calm their minds, and transition into rest mode, turning bedtime into a peaceful ritual rather than a nightly rush to fall asleep.
Pajamas
The right pair of pajamas can make the difference between decent sleep and dreamy sleep. The best PJs feel soft, breathable, and roomy enough to move (or snooze) freely. Look for natural fabrics like cotton or bamboo that keep them cool through the night and cozy in the morning. A matching set feels a little extra special—perfect for slow Sundays, movie marathons, or hitting snooze one more time. It’s a gift they’ll reach for night after night.
Slippers & Socks
Slippers and socks are classic gifts for a reason—they keep every sleeper cozy from head to toe. Consider foam microsuede slippers for soft support around the house, or wool socks for the cooler months. For a touch of fun and extra warmth, throw in fuzzy socks too. Nothing says “relax and unwind” like soft, plush comfort that feels like a hug for your feet.
Cozy Middle-Ground Comforts: Gifts Under $100
For the sleeper who appreciates quality without the splurge, choose a gift that balances comfort and practicality. Give them something that transforms everyday rest into something a little more luxurious with these ideas:
Sleep Sound Machine
Studies have found that white noise can affect the quality and quantity of a person’s sleep.4 Today, sleep machines come with a range of the best sleep sounds from white noise and rainforest pitterings to crickets to washing machines, so no matter what sounds help your sleepy friend fall asleep, this is a great gift they’ll love as they drown out the world to catch some Zs.
High-Quality Bedding
What about revamping their actual bed? While you can certainly gift the sleep-lover in your life with a pillow-soft mattress or comfy mattress topper, you can also help them transform their bedding into a cushiony oasis come bedtime.
Sheets might seem like a gimme in the sleep category—and chances are, nearly everyone you know already has a set or two. But what the gift recipient may not have invested in are sheets that feel as smooth as water when you slip into deep sleep. How your sheets feel can make all the difference—did you know that having quality sheets on a cozy bed is a huge factor in getting a good night’s sleep, as they regulate temperature and help the body relax?5
When shopping for cozy bed sheets, consider the feel and material of the fabric:
- Percale – Typically made of organic cotton, woven tight, percale sheets have a crisp, light feel.
- Sateen – Usually made from cotton, sateen sheets have a smooth, luxurious feel.
- Flannel – Made from cotton, flannel sheets have a thick, warm feel.
Soft, silky sheets can transform any bed into a cozy slumber cocoon—and they’re a great gift for sleepers in need of a healthier, deeper sleep.6
Weighted Blanket
When you’re shopping for that sleepyhead in your life, a blanket would be a no-brainer sleep gift, sure. But why not take this great gift to a whole new level and go for a weighted blanket?
Increasing in popularity, weighted blankets use deep pressure stimulation, which may support the production of serotonin (the happy hormone) and increase melatonin (the sleepy hormone).7
When choosing a weight, find a weighted blanket that weighs ~10% of the sleeper’s body weight.
Aroma Machine or Diffuser
Essential oils are the gift that keeps giving, and an aromatherapy machine or diffuser is a lesser-known way of elevating sleep. Research has found that not only do some oils reduce stress and anxiety, but they can also help improve sleep.8 Plus, an added bonus is that they leave the room smelling fresh and relaxing.
Splurging on Your Sleeper: Gifts Under $200
When it comes to gifting, sometimes it’s worth going all in on comfort. These thoughtful gifts turn ordinary rest into pure luxury—perfect for the sleeper who deserves a little extra softness, support, and self-care.
The Glow Light
Give them the gift of better sleep and brighter mornings. The Glow Light is a step up from a simple nightlight, designed to support healthy sleep rhythms. This night light has an extra warm glow and self-timer to help anyone fall into a deeper sleep and stay there.
A built-in gyroscope lets you twist the light to adjust brightness or flip it to dim. Need a soft light for a midnight trip to the bathroom? Just give it a gentle shake. You can even create a perfectly personalized schedule for your night light through the Glow App.
Dog Bed
Some sleepers don’t like the idea of going to bed alone—or without a furry friend. For those who love their pets just as much as they love a good night of sleep, gift a cozy dog bed.
They’ll be able to fall asleep to the sound of their pup’s sweet snoring, and the foam exterior provides their dog with the perfect foundation for a night of romping through dreamscapes of flower fields and tasty treats. Our durable dog bed is a perfect sleep environment designed around dog behavior.
A High-Quality Pillow
Experts recommend replacing your pillow every one to two years, and now is your chance to help remind your sleepy friends that having the right pillow is crucial for a great night’s sleep.9 The best way to do this is with a luxurious, high-quality pillow. If you’re stuck on how to choose a pillow for someone else, keep in mind how this person sleeps. Side sleepers tend to put a lot of pressure on their shoulders, so consider gifting them with a pillow that accounts for that. Our Hybrid Pillow is an ideal choice for this type of sleeper as it has a mid loft and outer foam layer.
On the other hand, finding a pillow with a low to mid loft is key for back sleepers to ensure neck support. Our Foam Snow Pillow is a great choice for back sleepers and is carefully designed to keep hot sleepers extra cool at night. While it’s not generally recommended to sleep on your stomach, there are some folks who can’t help it. A low loft pillow like our Down Pillow is perfect for stomach sleepers, as its down filling and breathable weave create an airy softness.
Luxury Robe
If you’re really looking to give a gift of sleep time luxury, a luxury robe is the way to go. Whether they’re getting ready for bedtime or spending a lazy day at home with a loved one, a robe is a sleep gift they’ll use time and time again. A luxury robe stands apart from your typical bathrobe with plush, high-quality fabrics, thoughtful tailoring, and an indulgent feel that wraps the body in pure comfort.
Casper’s Blanket Robe wraps you in a duvet-like design with quilted softness and cozy armholes—perfect for lounging like bed is still calling you, even when you’ve left it. Sure, your sleeper probably already owns a robe—but maybe not one this good. If sleeping is their thing, they deserve a robe that’s the best of the best.
