Quick Answer
To pack a pajama gift set for travel without wrinkles, fold the pajamas using the flat-fold method, place the book on top to distribute weight, and pack everything in a structured section of your suitcase rather than a soft duffel.
Why Wrinkles Happen in a Gift Set
Gift sets that combine soft fabric items with a hardcover book, like the Bedtime Stories Pajama Bundle, create a packing challenge. The pajamas are prone to creasing when folded against the book's spine or when packed loosely in a bag that shifts during transit. The key is to keep the pajamas flat and layered, not crumpled around the book.
How to Pack a Pajama Gift Set Without Wrinkles
- Step 1: Fold the Pajamas Flat: Lay the pajama top and bottoms flat on a clean surface. Fold the top in half vertically, then fold the sleeves inward. Fold the bottoms in half lengthwise, then fold them into thirds. Stack the folded top on top of the bottoms to create one flat rectangle. Common mistake: rolling the pajamas tightly, which creates deep creases that are hard to remove without ironing.
- Step 2: Place the Book on Top: Set the hardcover book directly on top of the folded pajamas. The book's flat surface acts as a weight, keeping the fabric smooth and preventing shifting during travel. Checkpoint: Make sure the book is centered so pressure is distributed evenly across the fabric.
- Step 3: Pack in a Structured Compartment: Slide the stacked pajamas and book into a flat packing cube or the main compartment of a structured suitcase. Avoid soft duffel bags or overstuffed bags where the set can get crushed or folded irregularly. Common mistake: placing the set on top of heavy items that can press the book's spine into the fabric, leaving a permanent crease.

Bedtime Stories Pajama Bundle: The Bedtime Stories Pajama Bundle includes one pair of soft pajamas and a hardcover Mary Engelbreit’s Mother Goose book.
