It's that time again. It's time to start thinking about what you'll be wearing to keep warm in bed. We have many options for you, from slinky negliges to cuddly pjs. Today's addition is nightshirts out of a new fabric called bamboo flannel.

To the right is the Fairy Floral Bamboo Flannel Nightshirt by Frankie and Johnny. This classic sleep shirt has buttons from top to bottom and a left front pocket. The sleep shirt is trimmed in complimentary colour piping.

To the left is the similarly-designed Vintage Vineyard Bamboo Flannel Nightshirt by Frankie and Johnny. These nightshirts are about 35 inches from the shoulder.

Frankie and Johnny make these night shirts from a super, soft, luxurious fabric that blends a rayon made from bamboo and cotton. This breathable fabric wicks moisture away from the body, and best of all, it's fully biodegradable, making it the eco-friendly choice.

In addition to Moonlight Magic and our offer of free shipping there is even more happening around us on fifth street.

You've got two weeks to enter, so get to walking!

See Santa Downtown this Weekend

And if the chance to win a shopping spree, beautiful windows and great sales weren't enough to get you downtown, the Comox Valley Christmas parade is happening November 28th at 2:00 PM.


The Christmas parade route is Fifth Street from Harmston to Cliffe Avenue. After the parade, visit with Santa Claus at the Sid Williams Theatre, have some hot chocolate and see a live nativity.

This weekend is the official launch of the festive season, so we do hope to see you in town enjoying the hot chocolate and candy canes.

Yes, that's right, I said the word: Christmas. I know, of course, that it's two months away, but the earlier you browse the selection at Secret Drawers Lingerie, the more satisfied you and your giftee will be.

Today's pajama selection is from Frankie and Johnny. Frankie and Johnny's idea is a simple one: Create a line of fun, comfy, cozy jammies that you can live in, 24/7.

Frankie and Johnny pull their inspiration from family adventure and everyday things, like these moccasin-clad lounge pjs, seen right. Like every Frankie and Johnny style we have selected this year, these are made of bamboo rayon and cotton. And yes, the deep red utters the word Christmas, but the whimsical print makes it in season any time.

Sleepshirts by Frankie and Johnny are also available. The Le Maroc sleepshirt, seen left, consists of a classic black-and-white pattern adorned with contrasting trim and buttons, and one front pocket under the left shoulder.

This sleepshirt is designed not only for comfort but to also create a flattering sillouette as you sip hot cocoa with your kids. And just like all Frankie and Johnny fabrics, the texture of this sleepshirt feels like a blend of cashmere and silk.

Not feeling Christmassy yet? No problem. The bamboo-climbing pandas on this lounge pj don't require the addition of a holiday. This endearing design, seen right, reminds the wearer that they are indeed wearing fabric made of bamboo. The fabric wicks away moisture making Frankie and Johnny pajamas versatile in both winter and summer.

True, the bamboo flannel of these garments make them snuggly, but the pandas on the print don't hurt either. On the lounge styles there is a button-up front with two pockets, as well as an elastic drawstring waistband on the pant.

We do admit, it's hard to choose between Bedhead Pajamas, The Cat's Pajamas, Blush pajamas or Frankie and Johnny pajamas. The only advice we can give is to come in and see for yourself. By the time you leave, you may find your Christmas list half done.
