My boys in their Hanna jammies
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the lovely folks over at Hanna Andersson for producing such high quality children’s pajamas. But at $38 a pop, buying them new was never part of my family’s life. However, Hanna Andersson is a local company, so it’s super easy to find them at thrift stores.
Like yesterday, when I bought seven pairs of new looking Hanna jammies for 50¢ apiece. And now Portland Craigslist followers will be able to pick them up for $15 apiece. And I will have a chunk of change for a short vacation before school starts back up.
Thank you, Hanna Andersson.

My two boys have outgrown Hanna Andersson but I will admit to being a parent who bought 3-4 pairs every two years for the years where they were Hanna sized. I did not however purchase these at retail prices (which is what is great about purchsing from online retailers—they always have sales).
For $28/pair on sale, each boy wore the pair for two years….I rolled the cuffs on the top and bottoms the first year and then without the second year. After 4 years (boys are two years apart), I then sold these to a friend for $5/pair, who had two boys. She sold them for $1/pair when her boys outgrew them 4 years later.
You will easily spend $5-6/pair at WalMart for pajamas that won’t last a year if washed twice a week—after one year their not usable for more than landfill fill.
In this scenario, the $38 Hanna’s seem the right choice to me. I also shop at thrift stores and would have been estatic to find these for 50 cents!
Great find!
And here’s my listing:

When my daughter was Hanna-sized, 20 years ago, there was a great Hanna sale every year at Montgomery Park. And now that I have a granddaughter, there is the Hanna outlet in Lake Oswego. And my daughter is always on the Hanna search at consignment shops.
Lucky lucky duck! I love Hanna….too bad my kids only get them when I can find them at the thrift stores or one of my generous aunts bestows them upon us. Are you willing to ship?? 🙂
In addition to the high quality of Hanna Andersen clothing, the company seems to be highly ethical – adjusting prices to offer “gud value” during this tough economy, offering a 20% discount if you donate used children’s books in good condition…
Fantastic find! I haven’t found any Hanna at the thrift store here, but I do love it. I have a dress and leggings for my daughter that she’s been in for 8 months and will wear at least another year as a tunic and shorts. They’re really high quality and so, so soft!
Awesome!! My little brother and I used to get Hanna PJs for christmas each year and I LOVED them! Someday my kids will get these for Christmas also!
