Gift Buying Guide: How To Get Her The Lingerie She'll Love

Lingerie always makes a great gift for the lady in your life, whether for her birthday, an anniversary, or just because you feel like spoiling her. But it is notoriously difficult to know what type of underwear she'll love and will actually wear, rather than putting away in her drawer never to see the light of day again. The tips below are a sure fire way to make sure you're buying the lingerie that's right for your significant other.

Think about what she'd like, not what you like!

While it's great that you want to pick something you know she'll look amazing in, you need to remember that this is a gift for her, not for you! Your lady doesn't want to feel as though you're dressing her up to please yourself. You may have a penchant for push-up bras or a lust for a lace baby doll, but if she detests both, the present will go to waste. Look through the lingerie she owns already, or listen out for her subtle hints next time she takes you window shopping. That way you'll know you're spot on with your choice; and she'll love you for it!

Find out her size (her current one!)

It may seem an obvious point, but it's one that's often not given nearly enough thought. Unless you're an absolute genius, there's no way you'll be able to accurately guess her cup, back and pant size. Check the underwear she wears at the moment - not the old stuff she's kept stuffed away and can't bear to part with - to make sure you get a correct fit. You could pick the most beautiful lingerie set in the world, but if it's too small or too big, she'll not wear it more than once.

Think about when it can be worn

Some women prefer to wear their sexy lingerie all day long, while others would rather slip into it right before the big reveal. Think about which your other half would prefer, and buy accordingly. A glamorous bra and pant lingerie set is brilliant for wearing all day long under her clothes, whereas baby dolls and chemises can be popped on right before she wants to show them off to you.

Know your materials.

From the delicateness of lace to the smooth sexiness of satin and the cute comfort of jersey, there's a material to suit every mood, occasion and personality. Every woman will have a favourite; check her underwear drawers for some hints!

Get the right style!

Most men are suckers for thongs, but not all women are comfortable wearing them. Similarly, some will prefer a deep plunge bra, while others will love the sexiness of a shelf bra. The right style will do wonders for her confidence, and you'll both reap the rewards!

Whatever pick you make, the lady in your life will love it if you have put in the thought and effort to find out what she will love. And if you're in any doubt, our team can give you all the advice you need to make the perfect purchase!
