Finding Christmas gifts for a child with eczema shouldn't mean choosing between comfort and joy. With 1 in 5 UK children affected by eczema, we know the challenge: you want them to feel special - not different - and you need clothing that won't trigger a Boxing Day flare-up.
This year, give gifts they'll love to wear (and that will give you peace of mind too).
Why Eczema-Friendly Gifts Actually Matter
Children with eczema don't just have "sensitive skin", they deal with a medical condition where even the softest high-street clothing can trigger painful flare-ups. Scratchy labels, tight elastic, synthetic fibres, and harsh dyes - each one is a potential trigger.
Every item on this list is designed specifically for eczema, skin conditions and sensitive skin:
✓ 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton
✓ Tag-free, flat-seam construction throughout where possible
✓ No harsh dyes, formaldehyde, or chemical finishes
✓ Scratch protection that doesn't restrict movement or play
✓ Some products are Allergy UK approved and all are tested by real eczema families
We are a team of parents and eczema sufferers who understand what a difference the right fabric can make. Founded by Jo Greenslade after her own children's struggles, every design is tested by families dealing with real flare-ups.
These gifts are handpicked for comfort, function, and fun.

👪 Parent Tips for Eczema-Friendly Gifting
For Parents Buying Directly:
✓ Pre-wash everything: Even organic cotton benefits from a wash in non-bio detergent to remove manufacturing residue
✓ Remove tags immediately: We keep them minimal, but every child is different, don't hesitate to snip them off completely
✓ Size up when uncertain: Our clothing is designed generously and gets softer with washing - buying bigger means longer wear
✓ Keep packaging simple: Skip excessive wrapping - many eczema children are also sensory-sensitive
For Relatives & Friends:
✓ Always include a gift receipt: Let parents exchange sizes without awkwardness, eczema kids' sizes can vary
✓ Trust specialist brands: High-street "sensitive skin" ranges often contain synthetic fibres and irritating elastics
✓ Add an explanation note: Help the child understand these are special clothes that feel amazing (not boring medical gear)
✓ Coordinate with parents: A quick message asking "what would be most helpful?" shows genuine care
For Grandparents New to Eczema:
✓ This is a medical condition: Eczema isn't "just sensitive skin"—specialist clothing is therapeutic, not fussy
✓ Avoid well-meaning alternatives: Wool, fleece, and polyester trigger flare-ups even if they seem soft. Stick to 100% organic cotton
✓ Presentation still matters: Use our gift wrapping service so the unboxing feels special, not clinical
✓ Follow-up with support: Offer to reorder favourites or buy more as they grow -ongoing support means everything
General Gifting Wisdom:
-
Skip synthetic "fun" fabrics: Sparkly, fluffy, or synthetic character clothing often triggers immediate reactions
-
Think practical + joyful: The best gifts solve problems AND make kids smile

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Are all your kids' clothes certified organic?
Yes—every clothing item in this guide is made from GOTS-certified organic cotton. GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is the world's leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, ensuring no harmful chemicals are used in production.
What age ranges do these gifts cover?
Most items fit children aged 1years to 14 years. Our sizing tends to be generous, so check individual product pages for detailed measurements. When in doubt, size up—our fabrics are designed to last through growth spurts.
Can I ship gifts directly to family members?
Absolutely! Simply enter their address at checkout. We'll include your personalised message and a gift receipt (without prices) so they can exchange sizes if needed. Perfect for grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends.
What if my child has both eczema and sensory processing issues?
Our clothing is specifically designed with sensory sensitivities in mind: flat seams, tag-free construction, soft textures, non-restrictive fits, and no scratchy labels. Many parents of autistic children with eczema choose our range for exactly this reason.
Are these clothes only for children with eczema?
Not at all! While designed for eczema, our clothing is simply beautifully soft, well-made, and comfortable. Many parents choose us for siblings without eczema too - they're just lovely clothes that happen to be extra gentle.
Do you offer gift cards if I'm not sure what to choose?
