Gift Ideas

Giving a duvet cover is like giving an entire bedroom. For the price of a toy, the room changes theme without having to repaint a wall, and the gift is there every single night. Here are our gift ideas sorted by recipient, then by occasion.

For whom?

Gift idea for a child aged 3 to 6: go for a big pattern they recognize

At this age, the theme matters more than the detail: a big recognizable animal, bold colors. Choose a soft theme rather than fangs; the pattern accompanies sleep.

Gift for a child aged 7 to 11: aim for their current passion

Age of definite passions: a sport, an animal, a universe. It's the moment when the gift hits the mark if you've spotted the right theme.

Gift idea for a teen: what to give when nothing pleases them

The most delicate terrain, and the one where a duvet cover works best: it changes the room without touching their stuff. Aim for their universe, not your idea of their universe. Our guide for teens aged 12 to 16 details ten models.

Gift for a couple: give something to share

For a double bed, leave the character and look for a vibe. A pattern that fits in an adult bedroom, and both can own.

Gift for a hobbyist who already has all the gear

An adult's passion is often easier to pin down than a child's: you know it, it lasts. It's the gift to give when the person already has all the equipment.

For which occasion?

Christmas gift ideas: give before the 25th

Two ways to do it: a Christmas set you bring out every December, or a duvet cover with the person's theme that will last all year. Our Christmas gift ideas guide compares ten models and reminds you of the deadline.

Original birthday gift, for children and teens alike

A birthday gift benefits from sticking to the current passion. In children it changes quickly, which is exactly the advantage of a cover: you replace it without redoing the room.

Valentine's gift: for two rather than just one

The gift to share rather than the one to give to an individual. A set for the shared bed has the advantage of not targeting just one person.

Useful housewarming gift: what we always forget when moving in

Bedding is what we forget most often when moving in, and what we buy back last. It's a gift that is useful the very same evening.
