As I explained in our comprehensive guide to buying lingerie, women do not want to buy their own lingerie. I tell you this as a woman who does not want to buy my own lingerie — and it’s not because I don’t want to spend an absurd amount of money on necessary undergarments. (Well, I definitely don’t wanna do that but there’s a little more to it.)
Unwrapping a neatly wrapped box (preferably one with a big satin bow) and sifting through crunchy tissue paper to find a delicate, lacy garment your beloved has handpicked specifically for you and your body is one of the most romantic experiences I can think of. Gifting lingerie is classic, it’s intimate, it’s sexy.
