Urgent... Do gals actually like getting lingerie for Christmas?

[dataz722]

I dunno. It might be pretty hot. No lace, though!

What about fishnets?

 

[Yooper]

What about fishnets?

No. sorry. Even I don't wear fishnets when I pose for pictures in my lingerie.

Lingerie is for Valentine's Day - or, as Revvy said, as a component of date night. In my experience, a girl will better appreciate lingerie if you take her shopping for it "spontaneously" - she'll feel like you want her, that she deserves some fancy expensive stuff that serves no "reasonable" purpose, and it will set the mood for the conclusion of date night.

Walk into the nicest spa in the area tomorrow, ask how much the facial/manicure/pedicure package is, and get her a gift card for $25 more than that so she can get some lotion or something on the way out. Wrap it up under a box of fancy chocolates, some smelly bath oil, real warm pj's, or something like that, and let Christmas be merry.

...BTW...

I like lingerie...Not to wear of course..

Prost for Pernox's answer.

 

[D0ug]

Ditto. Sounds like Pernox has done this before.

Really though, giving a gift that lets her completely disappear into an oblivion of nice smells, pleasant feelings of girliness, and some very relaxing handling by a professional and well-trained staff of other women who know what she's feeling like... Can't go wrong with that. You show that you put her comfort #1, that she's WORTH letting go of for a few hours so she can really detach and re-center herself.. Which will more likely than not give the exact effect that the lingerie was intended to in the first place; a feeling of sexiness and a want to thank you for being so thoughtful. In short, you'll accomplish two things; first (and most importantly) you'll make your girl feel like she's the most important thing in the world. Second, you'll likely be very pleased when she decides to thank you for it.

I have gone both the lingerie route and the comfy PJs route.

With the lingerie it was a very nice, tasteful corset she had been eying for years so I knew she would like it. She also wears corsets as clubwear when she goes out, so it wasn't just a "bedroom" gift.

With the PJs I got her a pair of those fleece footie pajamas, which she had also mentioned wanting, but was unable to find in adult sizes. It's gotten alot more wear than the corset (which is still nice, in fact she wore it to our company Xmas party).

I'd say it really depends on the woman in question. Does she wear sexy lingerie normally?

This thread is 4 pages long and still no pictures?? #wasteoftimedisappointed

 

[wildwest450]

Don't know who else to ask, so I guess you guys are as good as anyone...

Honest question... is lingerie a real gift?

If they look like this, yes. If not, go with a set of long johns.

I don't believe i've ever seen a girl who looks as equally stunning as a blonde or brunette. And yes, it's the same girl. Fantastic.

Another quick gift idea: Ticket Master gift certificate...you can buy it online, so it is quick and simple.

The best thing is, from a chick's perspective, is that she gets to pick the show/game/event/concert and you are obligated to go. She doesn't have to feel guilty about dragging you to it...after all you got it "for her". So she gets the warm fuzzy message that "Oh, look, he wants to spend TIME with me", which is a can't-lose, PLUS she gets to have some control over it, which, honestly, almost all women, really, crave.

Disclaimer: I'm allowed to say these things because I, too, am female. Don't any of you boys DARE say this **** or you'll be in trouble. Consider this post just a gift of insider knowledge.

It's been my experience that a gift like this leads to her WANTING to wear lingerie...that SHE picks out and feels comfortable in...for you when you get home! (or better yet, while you're out at whatever event that SHE picked out!!!)

so I was at Victoria Secrete last night with SWMBO she was getting a new Bra, hence why I said a bra is a good thing...

anyways HOLY **** talk about false advertising turning a 34A cup into a C/D cup... imagine the look on the blokes face when he gets the bra off for the first time and finds out what he's got to work with.

When it comes off for the first time, won't be a problem. The next morning will be the WTF moment :cross:

Tis guy is a true pimp....fo reals!

We are celebrating his birfday with sexy lil intimate things. I mean if all goes well you both should be yelling His and His Fathers name ..right?!...?

 

[SkylerChaBro]

I'm sure I could get away with it. You can't lose too much if the point is to get you all hot n bothered, assuming you know your own tastes.

On the other hand I still would get her something else as well since the evening wear is kind of a shared gift.

 

[Revvy]

The flannel PJ's from Victoria Secret were a hit with Marybeth this morning.

 

[Flomaster]

swmbo LOVED the leather GUESS purse I bought her.

[shamrockdoc]

SWMBO was given two pairs of boots some sexy running capri's and her request a stocking stuffer 4 passes to a waxing place. CHA-CHING!

 

[Revvy]

Did the OP ever come back and tell us what he decided, and how it wourled out.

I'm betting he ignored the advice, bought something ridiculous and this happened:

Followed by this:

 

[D0ug]

Yeah, bump! OP what happened?

 

[mrkeeg]

Skipped the sexies and went with some lambic beer, foot rub, and a few other stocking stuffers. Probably for the better! Thanks folks.

...oh and GOT a refractometer! Can't wait.

[D0ug]

Hey, it's not a new car, but a thoughtful assortment of smaller gifts can be just as nice as 1 or 2 big ones. The lambic sounds a little suspicious though...
who was THAT for,? really....

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

Not had time to read this thread.

1. We need pics.
2. Don't listen to anything Yooper may have said
3. We need pics.

I guess I'm lucky... SWMBO plays roller derby, so she requires a constant supply of cute panties, fishnets, and tiny, tiny skirts. I can buy her all the skimpy clothing I want, and not only do I never get the stink-eye, I get to see her wear it at least twice a week. With skates and pads, of course.
