To Give or Not to Give Lingerie for Christmas

As Christmas Day approaches, some of you guys out there looking for the perfect gift for your woman. Most guys like to see their partner in some form of lingerie, but certain women just won’t take the time to shop for it.

So what’s the rule about shopping for lingerie, panties, and sexy evening wear for as a Christmas gift?

Answer? It all depends on the woman AND the relationship. Sadly, there is no simple one size fits all answer. You have to know your partner better than the stereotypical male. If you can answer the following questions, you may just find the narrow path to success.

Do you know that you know that you know her size? This is no joke. If you don’t know her size, your gift will likely score you ginormous negative points. An outfit too small will make her feel fat. She can’t fit into it, and she now either has to tell you or find a way to exchange it without your knowing. Including a gift receipt MIGHT save you. If the outfit is too big, you obviously think she’s fat. In your mind, she’s “this big.” Bad move. Good luck recovering from that one.

What colors look good with her skin tone? This is more important than you think. Some lighter hues look washed out in white. Some yellow hues clash with blues and some pinks.

What are her favorite colors? If you can pick out something you know she will enjoy looking at, chances are you’ll do just fine.

Do you buy what YOU think looks good or what SHE will think looks good? Here’s your REAL dilemma. Only a few of you can answer this one. Some women are turned on by seeing themselves and realizing they look sexy. Others are most turned on by knowing their mate thinks they look sexy. Call it trust and/or intimacy issues. It doesn’t matter. Select what you know will appeal most to that side of her that assesses value and worth.

Is the material comfortable to the touch? This is important for both of you. An uncomfortable outfit won’t be endured for long periods of time. Part of feeling attractive is not feeling scratchy, cramped, or hindered. Keep in mind that you don’t want to be scratched either, and certain outfits won’t make the cut.

If you pass the test, go forth and conquer (i mean purchase)! Keep in mind that a woman armed with only one or two special articles of clothing will either wear them too often or only on special occasions. So consider purchasing several outfits or making a new purchase a monthly routine.
