Need informationon buying a bathrobe for a woman (1 Viewer)

[DaveF]

I'd like to get a quality bathrobe as a birthday present for a good female friend. But I'm out of my league here; I don't know anything about bathrobes.

I checked Epinions and I've Googled and haven't found any good reviews or general comments on how to shop for a bathrobe.

Any recommendations? Preferred material, style, brand? I'm looking in the $50 to $100 range.

Thanks!

How about something from Victoria's Secret? After all, you said she was a "good" female friend. Seriously, I think all ladies would like something from V.S.

DaveF,

Are you thinking big cozy terrycloth? Because I'm thinking big cozy terrycloth. There are 3 at my house and I keep one at the girlfriends.
Think $100.00...at least.
You will have to look for this. Regular department stores have little quality selection. Don't know what's available in your area, maybe you can check at Nordstom or Saks online. Another source is the giftshop at "4 Star" hotels.
About that "BIG" thing....they have to be roomy, if not when you stretch or reach for something you'll rip them 'cause you're sittin' on 'em don't ya know?

Definitely get one of the "silky" ones from Victorias Secret. Many points gains my friend.

I thought about that, but they're polyester, not real silk. And I'm not really looking for a "sexy" robe but something functional.

One tip: don't buy a robe made entirely of that "hook tape" side of Velcro.
