Lingerie is one of the most popular gifts you can give a woman. It helps if you know her preferences and color choices, but you can't miss with a lovely silk gown or tasteful negligee.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Lingerie

Step 1

Try to find out what kinds of lingerie she likes and what size she wears.
Step 2

Shop at department stores, lingerie specialty stores or Web sites.
Step 3

Choose from a variety of lingerie products, including negligees, peignoirs, slips, nightgowns and robes. Be conservative if you don't have a close relationship with the woman for whom you are buying.
Step 4

Pick a color that you think would look good on her, if you don't know her color preferences.
Step 5

Check on the return policy before you finalize your purchase, and make sure the items you are buying can be returned or exchanged.
Step 6

Add a bottle of her favorite perfume or some aromatherapy candles if you're in the mood for romance.

Tips & Warnings

Designer bra and underwear sets are very hot right now, but it's hard to buy a bra for someone else. A gift certificate might be the answer here.
Unless you have a very close relationship with the woman, avoid giving lingerie items that are extremely risqué or things that are in bad taste.
You shouldn't buy lingerie for a woman you know only casually. Lingerie is considered an intimate gift.
If you're a man trying to get your wife out of faded flannel gowns or T-shirts by buying her a sexy nightgown, it's probably best not to get your hopes up.
