Lingerie Makes Great Gift for Him and Her
Author: Jim Jin
It is cliché to say that lingerie is the gift that “gives to him and
her”, or is “the gift that gives back” because clearly the man does
not lose when he gives lingerie out as a present. The only time the
plan backfires is when he gets something in the wrong style—or much
worse—the wrong size. But when the man puts some time and
consideration into the purchase of some lingerie, he and the
receiver are rewarded which is why it makes a great gift.
Too often men find themselves tempted to buy whatever they happen to
find attractive or sexy. These same men are then surprised later on
when their girlfriend or wife is utterly repulsed by the lingerie
and refuses to wear the garment. It takes a special kind of woman to
tolerate a thong but men continue to thrust their desires into
lingerie purchasing decisions that utterly conflict with the desires
and tastes of the partner. Thong sales only account for 23% of all
lingerie purchases which is why odds are that a woman probably will
not appreciate a thong as much as the man giving it.
In order to make a lingerie gift successful, the man must do his
homework. What about her body is she most proud of? Whatever part of
the body this happens to be, make sure to buy lingerie that
accentuates this. For a woman who is particularly proud of her
cleavage, a halter might be the way to go but a chemise would
probably be best for someone with nice legs. No matter what part of
the body she happens to be most comfortable with, there is
definitely a piece of lingerie out there made to complement it.
The color of the lingerie is very important to consider as well.
When deciding upon color, you have to take into account the
partner’s hair. Blondes tend to do best with lighter colors or even
pastels. Brunettes need a color that accentuates their darker hues
so purples or even dark greens and reds work well for women with
this color of hair. Redheads need a dark color but it must be
complementary which is why greens and blues work best.
Now lingerie need not only look great—it must feel even better!
Basically, if you enjoy touching it, she should enjoy wearing it.
Silks and satins are always great choices as they are always smooth
to the touch and feel great on her as well. For men or women
shopping online, only buy fabrics that you are personally familiar
with so you know what to expect.
The right style, color, and fabric will not make the slightest
difference in the world if you get the wrong size. Too many sad
jokes are made about men trying to size up their partner’s cup size
by using their hands to cup imaginary breasts. Anyone shopping
(either online or at a retailer) should know the sizes of the
garments they are after before ever looking at styles and colors. If
it is possible, ask. If not, you will have to play detective and
sneak a peak at her unmentionables while she is in the shower or
something. No matter how you do it, just make sure you get those
sizes or it may come back to haunt you.
Lingerie can definitely be one of the most intimate and rewarding
gifts a person can give or receive. When the desires, size, body,
and tastes of the receiver are taken into consideration when making
a purchase, lingerie can be rewarding to the buyer in ways no other
gift possibly can. But, when a person buys something that they will
like without being considerate of the person they are expecting to
wear the item, a lingerie purchase can backfire. Lingerie should be
a gift that a person remembers fondly so be sure to think of how she
would feel wearing the item before buying and you are sure to have
many happy returns!
