VALENTINES LINGERIE

VALENTINES LINGERIE

Many people consider Valentines lingerie to be the ultimate sexy romantic gift but there are certain precautions that should be taken to be sure such a gift is wellreceived and not unintentionally offensive Considering the type of lingerie as well as its presentation is important for a successful holiday Just about any type of lingerie can be a Valentines Day gift but not every variety is considered romantic The key to choosing appropriate holiday lingerie is to match it to the person who will be wearing it a woman who never wears short revealing nightgowns is not likely to appreciate being given one regardless of the holiday sentiment What is romantic to one person may be prosaic to another and each individuals preferences should be taken into account before choosing appropriate lingerie No matter which type of lingerie is chosen to represent the holiday they all tend to have certain defining characteristics such as
Silky fabrics that shimmer and generally cling to curves
Feminine colors such as red pink and white
Possibly holiday patterns may include hearts lips cupids chocolates or flowers
Lace or floral accents that are more delicate than everyday underthings
Many stores sell specialized Valentines lingerie starting in early January though general items in holiday colors can be found yearround

For Women
Womens lingerie that is particularly popular around Valentines Day includes baby doll ensembles sexy bras garter belts nightgowns teddies and erotic lingerie On the other hand sports bras basic sleepwear nursing bras and general pantyhose are not considered particularly romantic since they are more practical and functional in nature Specialty stores may also offer themed Valentines sets such as angel devil and cupid outfits

For Men
The selection of mens lingerie is less extensive for Valentines Day and the most popular item is silk boxer shorts in a variety of festive patterns or with printed holiday messages A selection of patterned briefs and tank tops may also be available When most people think of lingerie for this holiday however they are considering womens garments as an attractive gift for men as well as long as the man gets to unwrap it appropriately

Presenting Valentines Lingerie
Presenting lingerie as a gift can be innocuous or suggestive depending on how it is wrapped or what is wrapped in it

Wrapping the Gift
When wrapping lingerie be sure to display it attractively Silk creases easily and using too small a box can create unsightly wrinkles Furthermore because most lingerie fabrics are rather frictionless they will slide around in too large a box unless they are adequately secured with pins choose slender pins that will not damage the fabric If possible do not wrap the lingerie until just before giving it so that it does not remain cramped for a long period of time Remove all tags prior to giving the lingerie but retain identifying tags and gift receipts in case it is the wrong size or style

Being the Wrapped Gift
A far more seductive method of presenting Valentines lingerie especially more exotic or elaborate ensembles is to become the gift wrapped in the new garments In this way even the simplest of lingerie a plain bra and thong panties for example can make a dramatic and sensual statement Choose appropriate accessories complimentary earrings lush lipstick and highheeled shoes for a vibrant presentation For a gentleman presenting himself as a wrapped gift to his significant other a cowboy hat leather gloves or just a charming smile make perfect accompaniments Lingerie is a common gift for Valentines Day but careful forethought must be given to insure the appropriate type of lingerie and presentation is used If done correctly the gift of Valentines lingerie will lead to a night that wont soon be forgotten
