5 Things To Look For When Buying Lingerie As A Gift
Looking for the perfect gift for that special lady? Every single woman out there dreams of opening a massive box on Christmas day to find it filled with the most spectacular lingerie. If you’re new to buying underwear as a present, you may need just a little help along the way. Believe it or not, it’s much easier than you might imagine.
Here’s what you need to look out for before making a purchase:
1. Check the sizes first
Before you even think about buying lingerie for someone in your life, you need to make sure that you know what bra size they are. Finding out this crucial information may take some sneaking around, but it will be worth it. Take the time to look in their drawers (when they are not home!) and see what you can find. It’s worth checking out more than one bra to see that there is a uniform size that they get. When you know the bra size, you can start shopping. Oh, and you may also want to figure out what their sister size is too.
2. Find a style that suits them
Do you know what style will suit the recipient? The worst thing you can do here is to guess. You need to understand what type of lingerie they prefer before you buy anything at all. When you look in their drawer, you’re sure to get a flavor for the style that they tend to buy. You should also think about things such as their hair color and skin tone. Consider what color of lingerie is likely to suit them the best and how they will look in each piece. If all else fails, you may want to get them something in a similar style or pattern to a bra that they already have in their drawer.
3. Read the description
When you’re buying lingerie online, you absolutely have to read the description first. You want to opt for high-quality material when gifting this type of garment. After all, this is a present. It should be something that the recipient may not buy for themselves. Don’t be afraid to splurge and go for something that they might not. When you’re reading the description online, you need to pay close attention to the type of fabric that is used and how the piece is made. The key here is to get the best possible lingerie!

4. Choose something festive
As the holiday season is finally here, your lingerie gift should reflect that idea. When you’re selecting the right piece for your loved one, take the time to ask one simple question. Is it festive? That doesn’t mean that you have to go for an over-the-top novelty piece. However, you might want to choose a rich, red bra or something that has a little sparkle to it. Taking the time to pick out a piece of lingerie that has that extra level of pizzaz could make all the difference in the long run. Go ahead – get creative with the style you choose!
5. Always keep the receipt
In life, there are no guarantees. You may be under the impression that the piece of lingerie you’ve bought is simply perfect. You may expect the lucky recipient to fall head-over-heels in love with it. But they might not. And that’s okay. Everybody has their own personal sense of style and there’s nothing to say that you will get it right off the bat. Keep the receipt as an insurance policy (or the invoice if you’re buying online). When you hand the present over, be honest and say that if they don’t like it, you’re happy for them to switch it.
Ready to start shopping yet? Now that you’ve got all the details on how to find the right lingerie gift for the special person in your life, it’s time to get started. Remember, when it comes to making a decision like this one, it’s all about getting the minor details right. Take the time to do your research and shop around so that you find the perfect piece for them. You won’t regret the extra effort you put in here. Good luck and happy holiday season!
