Wait, Are Pajamas A COVID Thing?
This week, the Washington Post ran a story in the Style section titled “This Is Our Pajama Moment.” The article goes on to survey the current state of the pajama industry, interviewing market players and concluding that pajamas are endemic to a “housebound nation.”
This may be true. I’m not one to argue the numbers, and there is certainly logic to the fact that as people were forced to spend more time in their home, they would be willing to spend more money on what they wear at home. But still, did people really not wear pajamas before COVID? After reading the article, I think it would be more accurate to say this is our luxury pajama moment. The story highlights Eberjey, a pajama company whose $120 Gisele set is one of Oprah’s favorites:
Gisele Long PJ Set — $54 to $139
As the Washington Post also notes, ’tis the season for matching pajama sets, as many PJ purchases will “be fueled by the performative need to share family pix in matching Christmas sleepwear on social media, the 21st-century visual take on the braggy holiday letter, throwing in the pooch for good measure.” This one I take issue with. Luxury pajamas may be a COVID thing, but holiday pajamas are certainly not a social media thing. For decades, families have been unwrapping matching PJs on Christmas Eve, taking a family photo and then going to sleep so St. Nicholas can arrive. There is nothing exhibitionist or “braggy” about it. Does everything that gets documented via photograph have to be caused by a desire to show off on Instagram? This seems like a rewriting of history, giving our tech overlords way more power than they deserve.
Matching Family Pajamas Christmas Boys and Girls Red Striped Jammies — $8.99 to $37.99
A lot of things have changed because of COVID, and pajama habits may be one of those things. But unlike banana bread or “Tiger King,” many families would be purchasing matching PJs around this time of year anyway. Could it be possible that this is actually just a “family moment”? If so, I can see why that’d be something the Post would be loath to admit.

School is out, the tide is in, and summer 2022 is a-go. Though the beach was one of those places you could still travel to even at the height of COVID restrictions, the repeal of mask mandates and negative testing requirements sure make the whole experience much more appealing.
Of course, going to the beach for the first time in years likely means you are in need of supplies. If that is the case, you came to the right place. In recent weeks, We Know Products has written about a variety of beach gear, including a beach table, vacuum-insulated margarita tumblers, and an American flag beach umbrella. Here is another one to add to the list: rubber tote bags.
Now, longtime WKP readers know we are partial to the clear tote bags with U.S. flag patches. But we have also heard from fans who say they like the Expersion totes for going to games and concerts, but that they also want something a little more spacious for beach trips. This rubber tote fits the bill.
As you can see from the item’s title, this bag is literally “oversized,” so you will have zero problem fitting in everything you need to haul down from your hotel room to the shore.
