Women love to get gifts of lingerie! It’s one of the most romantic, sexy, personal items you can choose for her. Here are some of the most important points to note before you shop:

1. Know her size! She will be upset if you go too large and disappointed if you go too small. If you aren’t sure of her exact size, pick lingerie with “One Size” fits all options. These will fit most women up to queen size and she will be happy with something she can wear right away.

2. Know her style! A woman whose idea of foreplay is 20 lashes is not going to want a fluffy foo-foo look, she’s going to want leather, maybe vinyl, and more sophisticated looks with darker colors. Someone on the more conservative side probably wouldn’t appreciate a leather studded crotchless teddy. “How to Match Her Style” will give you specific suggestions in regard to style matching options.

3. Know what is appropriate for the occasion. For example, for your honeymoon, you would want to choose bridal lingerie. “The Right Lingerie at the Right Time” article in “Gift Guides” will give you options to help you with this.

4. Pick a variety of items for her. The more items you pick, the more likely it is that she is going to like at least some of what you bought for her. For example, get something conservative that she could wear for everyday, something sexy to wear on a special occasion, and something on the naughty side, then throw in a couple of pieces of costume jewelry and maybe a naughty toy or two, a couple of candles, or bath and body products and you’ll be all set!

5. Stay close to her regular preferences. Some women refuse to wear thongs and g-strings and some women won’t wear regular panties, so find out which one she wears, and stick to that. If she wears t-shirts to bed, get comfortable babydoll and chemise outfits that are appealing, but still offer the comfort that she is used to. Knowing her preference is as easy as paying attention to what she wears from day to day.

These points should get you started in the right direction! She is going to be so happy when she sees how thoughtful you were with your gift giving efforts.
