Birthday Gifts For Wife? Try Lingerie!
There comes a point in every hetero relationship when a man considers treating his lady to some expensive undergarments. It might be your way of celebrating her physical form while making it clear just how much you lust after her. It could just be a random surprise gift to show your affection on one of your relationship’s more drowsy days. And while giving a woman lingerie can also seem like a somewhat selfish present that’s more for your own fantasy than her comfort, it’s okay so long as your messaging is clear. It’s all in the presentation.
It’s important to take a few things into consideration when shopping for that special someone.
1. Size
Start with an item that has simple sizing e.g. Small, Medium or Large, so you can maximize your chances of getting the size right. Do not start with hard-to-fit bra sets that involve complex measurements and try-ons even for the woman buying for herself. And make sure you are buying from a store that will let you exchange if the size is incorrect.
2. Subtlety
If this is your first time, don’t jump right into the lycra fetish gear you’ve been secretly dreaming of unless you are 100% sure she would want that. Start with simple items that suggest sexy, without being heavy-handed about it. The point isn’t to get her into the sack. The point is to make her feel beautiful and alluring. Then she can invite you to go from there.
3. Style
Gents, let’s keep things simple here. Think an elegant thong, presented in beautiful packaging in a color she loves. Or a loose top & shorts that she can wear to sleep in. Quality if far more important than quantity, so choose one or two small pieces of the finest quality you can afford. If she is delighted, you can always add to the collection later.
Once you have the idea of the nitty-gritties involved, surprise her with your choice of the options you looked at together. She will love that you got her exactly what she wants. For starters-

Babydolls
Babydolls are a good place to start. These are those one piece things that kinda look like shorter summer dresses. The fact that they usually have adjustable straps and are meant to flare out at the bottom means you have a greater safety net when it comes to sizing mishaps. You could also pick up some matching panties to go with the slip, which would help it seem like you put a lot of thought into this.
If you’re feeling more confident, dabble with a matching bra and panty set. They are often feasible and very playful in terms of, should you swing that way.

Satin set
A sleek lace and satin gown as opposed to the beloved but worn-in robe she schleps around in at the weekend can also be a great piece to begin with, especially if you’re feeling really unsure about the whole sizing and style game.

Bralette
Bralettes are a trendy mix of a regular bra and a cool crop top. She can don it for a romantic date for an ultra-chic look. Crafted with gorgeous fabrics to pamper her silhouette, a bralette bra is the perfect excuse for her to take a break from her regular tops and flaunt her innerwear. A win-win game for both.
PS: Keep yourself in mind while picking up the gifts, after all you’re going to be the one to unwrap them later. We’re no more living in the 80s era, it’s cool to do so!
