I was gifted a nice silk pillowcase by my mother a couple years ago, and my husband and teenage son soon became jealous. They kept asking for their own silk pillowcases, which I thought was a joke at first. I caved and got them satin pillowcases (cheaper option), which they did truly enjoy. I purchased this set so that I could give both of them their own genuine silk pillowcase for Christmas this year, and I know they'll be thrilled. Plus, by purchasing it on sale, I saved a lot of money because most places charge about $50 per pillowcase.
