Eberjey Gisele Rib Relaxed Short PJ Set review

Intro

This review covers the Eberjey Gisele Rib Relaxed Short PJ Set, a short-sleeve/shorts pajama set listed with a ribbed knit made from 95% TENCEL™ Modal and 5% elastane. The set comes in a very large range of colorways and size options, and owner feedback centers on one dominant strength — fabric softness — balanced against two repeat caveats: the cut runs roomy and the knit can feel warm for hot sleepers. Below you'll find a straightforward, decision-focused breakdown for gift shoppers: what you get, who it's right for, real owner patterns, materials notes, safety considerations, and a short buying checklist.

What it is / first look

The listing presents this as a relaxed short pajama set (top + shorts) from Eberjey. The manufacturer/model is listed as PJ1018SN and the fabric composition is listed as 95% TENCEL™ Modal and 5% elastane. Available sizes run from XX-Small up through XX-Large plus numeric 1–3 options, and there are many colorways the listing shows as available. The listing also includes care instructions: turn inside out before washing, machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle, only non-chlorine bleach when needed, remove promptly after wash, tumble dry low, and warm iron as needed. The product is listed as imported and was first made available in February 2020.

Packaging/specs shown in the listing list package dimensions (9.69 x 7.71 x 1.85 inches) and package weight (13 ounces), which give a sense of the set's light bulk for shipping or gift wrapping.

Who this is a good gift for

Practical match-making, not generic praise. Below are recipient types and the assumptions you should check before buying.

The soft-sleepwear splurger

If your recipient appreciates elevated basics and you want a wearable splurge, this is a good fit. Owners repeatedly describe the fabric as very soft and worth the extra cost; several reviews call it “the best pajamas” they own. Assumption to check: the recipient is comfortable with brand-name sleepwear and the price tier is acceptable for the occasion.

The style-conscious lounge fan

The cut is described by owners as flattering and classy rather than frumpy. If the recipient likes sleepwear that looks put-together — something that could double as lounge wear at home — this aligns well. Assumption: they prefer relaxed cuts and modest short sets rather than ultra-slim or minimal coverage pieces.

A gift for a family member who owns several sets

Several buyers report purchasing multiple pairs for a spouse or family member, which is a strong signal for repeat-gift suitability. If the recipient already owns Eberjey or similar high-comfort lounge brands, this is an easy add. Assumption: the recipient already likes this soft-knitted modal fabric or similar brands.

A winter or cool-bed sleeper

Because owner feedback sometimes calls the fabric thick and warm, this is a better match for someone who prefers a little extra warmth. Assumption: the recipient does not overheat at night.

When it’s not a safe office/secret-santa pick

If you need a low-risk, impersonal token for a casual workplace gift exchange, sizing and personal sleepwear preferences introduce some risk. If you don’t know the recipient’s size or temperature preferences, choose a safer, less personal item.

In daily use

Owners' day-to-day reports form the clearest picture of what it’s like to live with this set.

Comfort and feel

Owner feedback repeatedly highlights the fabric’s softness and comfortable drape. Multiple buyers use phrases like “so soft,” “best PJs,” and “comfortable and attractive,” emphasizing that the knit feels high quality and pleasant against skin. The listed blend (95% TENCEL™ Modal, 5% elastane) aligns with those tactile impressions: modal is often used in soft, drapey knits and the elastane adds stretch.

Fit and sizing

A clear pattern in owner notes is that the set runs roomy for some people. Several buyers recommend sizing down — one reviewer explicitly said they should have ordered a smaller size — while other reviewers say their usual size fit as expected. If you are gifting and unsure about size, err toward a smaller size when the recipient likes a closer fit; otherwise expect a relaxed, roomy silhouette.

Warmth and breathability

Some owners note the fabric is relatively thick and can be warm for summer nights. One mixed review described the set as “too hot,” and another reviewer suggested the long-sleeve version offered more breathability differences. If the recipient is a hot sleeper or lives in a very warm climate, this is an important fit consideration.

Care and upkeep

The listing gives care instructions that recommend turning the garment inside out, washing cold with like colors on a gentle cycle, using only non-chlorine bleach when needed, removing the garments promptly after wash, and tumble drying low with a warm iron as needed. Several owners advise hang-drying to preserve the fabric and shape. That combination — machine-safe but best-hang-dry for longevity — is useful to tell gift recipients if you include a care note with the gift.

Materials & build quality

Facts first: the listing specifies the fabric makeup as 95% TENCEL™ Modal and 5% elastane. The manufacturer/model is listed as PJ1018SN and the product is described as a ribbed, relaxed short pajama set.

Owner impressions form the real evidence on build: the most consistent praise is for fabric quality, cut, and feel. Phrases such as “super high quality fabric,” “soft and comfortable,” and repeat purchases by buyers are the mainstream signal. There are no listing claims in the data about additional trims, special stitching, or third-party certifications; if those matter to you (for example, for mending expectations), verify current listing details with the manufacturer.

Construction-wise, owner feedback does not flag broken seams, hardware failures, or obvious manufacturing defects as a recurring issue. The main construction-related notes are fit and fabric weight — not unraveled hems or peeling trims — which indicates typical knit wear rather than immediate assembly problems.

Safety considerations

There are no owner reports or listing claims suggesting electrical, chemical, choking, or mechanical hazards. The set is clothing and the product data lists fabric content; there are no safety recalls or hazardous-material notes included in the provided data.

Two buyer-sourced safety-adjacent patterns to be aware of:

• Thermal comfort risk: the knit is described by several owners as somewhat thick and warm. For hot sleepers, that can lead to overheating at night. That is a comfort/safety consideration for people who are sensitive to nighttime temperature.
• Sizing risk: repeated comments that the set runs large mean fit-related risks — a too-large pair of pajamas could be a nuisance or a loose-fit hazard for people who need snuger garments (for example, specific mobility or medical needs). Size uncertainty is not a safety defect, but it does raise gifting risk for an unknown recipient.

Finally, the listing lists care steps that matter for fabric longevity (turn inside out, gentle cold wash, tumble low or hang-dry). Following those directions will reduce premature wear; owners who recommended hang-drying are signaling that heat and vigorous drying may affect look or fit over time.

Who should skip it

Skip this set for the following recipient situations:

• Someone who reliably overheats at night or lives in a very hot climate — owners report the fabric can be thick and warm.
• A recipient whose size you don’t know and who prefers a fitted silhouette; owner feedback showing the set runs roomy means sizing mistakes are common.
• Someone who dislikes brand-name or splurge sleepwear; the set is positioned at a premium tier and multiple buyers describe the purchase as a deliberate splurge.
• Gifts for casual or impersonal exchanges where fit and sizing uncertainty are unacceptable — sleepwear is inherently personal.

Verdict

The Eberjey Gisele Rib Relaxed Short PJ Set is a strong pick if you want a soft, flattering, higher-end pajama set and you know the recipient’s size and temperature preferences. The listing’s fabric composition (95% TENCEL™ Modal, 5% elastane) and the consistent owner praise for softness and flattering cut support confident gifting when those fit factors are confirmed. The main downsides are two practical buying risks: the set tends to run roomy (so consider sizing down) and some owners find the knit too warm for summer use.

Best gift fit

Gift this to someone who already likes cozy, elevated loungewear and prefers a relaxed silhouette — a partner, a close family member, or a friend who enjoys well-made sleepwear. Add a short note about washing and sizing to reduce returns: mention the listing care instructions and that owners often recommend a smaller size for a closer fit.

Check before you buy

• Confirm the recipient’s preferred size and fit — owner notes repeatedly caution that the Gisele set runs roomy for some wearers.
• Ask (discreetly) if the recipient is a hot sleeper or prefers very lightweight sleepwear; several owners report the knit can be warm.
• Choose a colorway they’ll actually wear — the listing lists many color options, so prioritize the recipient’s typical palette.
• Include a care note if gifting: the listing recommends turning inside out, washing cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, removing promptly after wash, tumble drying low, and warm ironing as needed; several owners recommend hang-drying to preserve the fabric.

Quick recap for gift shoppers

Good: many colorways and sizes, listed as 95% TENCEL™ Modal / 5% elastane, widely praised by owners for softness and a flattering, relaxed cut. Watch out for: tendency to run large (many owners advise sizing down) and a fabric weight that some owners find warm for summer or hot sleepers. For a recipient who appreciates a soft, cozy set and whose size and temperature preferences you know, this is a confident, stylish gift pick.
