Here at Last Minute Valentine Gift understand how difficult it can be when choosing Lingerie… So here’s a handy article of hints and tips to help you out this Valentines 

Most men know nothing about picking out lingerie, which is understandable because it can be confusing. What type of lingerie to buy, what size, what color – how is a man to know? Here is a little guide to help you when choosing lingerie for that special someone.

There are a few things to consider before you go out. What does she like? Remember that you will not be wearing this – she will and you should go out with the intent on getting something she will like. If she is not into lacey, tiny, see-through teddies, chances are if you buy that, she will not be in much of a mood to wear it and you may never see it. So keep what she likes in mind.

If you do not know, check out her nightgown/lingerie drawer before you leave. Check for material type (cotton, silk, etc.), colors, and most importantly, size. She may be flattered if she wears a large and you get her a small, but if she wears a small and you buy her a large, you may find yourself in trouble. Avoid anything that says "control" on the label. Those items are used to firm and flatten tummys and rears and she would probably not appreciate receiving them as a gift.

Another thing to remember is if the store offers to wrap the lingerie let them. Dainty lingerie will look better in their wrapping than if you wrap it in the paper left over from your cousin’s birthday. Presentation is part of the package with lingerie. Also, if you are uncomfortable in the store, check out online stores that sell lingerie. You can always start at Victoria’s Secret, but most major department stores like Macys and Nordstroms also sell lingerie. Final note – remember to keep your receipt just in case it is the wrong style, size, or color.

Now, what type of lingerie is available? Just about anything you can think of! Ask yourself what the occasion is. Is this to let her know you love her? If so, something crotchless or see-through probably will not send that message. But, if it is for Valentine’s Day or your anniversary, something a little more risque might be appreciated. Bras alone have many different styles including push up, plunge, gel filled, padded, under wire, seamless, backless, strapless, open cup, and unpadded.

If you are purchasing a bra and panty set, always check out what she has in her drawer beforehand and definitely make note of the size – of both the bra and panties. Most places sell at least one pair of panties that match each bra, but some will sell several so you can mix and match. It will help to know what type of panties she likes to wear too – thongs, briefs, or high cut bikini.

When it comes to sleepwear, it can be just as confusing. One type of sleepwear is babydoll pajamas. They usually have very thin straps, a plunging V neckline, and are very short with matching panties. You will find most of these made out of silk or satin, materials that always make a woman feel good about herself. But, if she feels her breasts are too big or too small, or thinks her stomach is too big, you might want to avoid babydoll pajamas.

There are slips and chemises. Similar to the babydoll pajamas, these are a little longer and a little better at concealing problem areas such as breasts, butt or stomach. They too are usually made of silk or satin.

Gowns are full-length versions of the babydoll. Many are see-through or lacey and can help put your woman in the mood. Babydolls, slips, chemises, and gowns may also come with a robe.

A pajama set might not sound too sexy, but if it is silky, and buttons up the front, it can make your woman feel very sexy, especially if she is a plus size (size 18 or larger). Boxer sets have become very popular lately. The tops are tight, with thin straps and usually a V neckline, although there are boxer sets with normal t-shirt tops.

If you are really looking for lingerie to spice up your love life, take a look at Frederick’s of Hollywood (available online). They have been selling sexy lingerie for over 50 years. They have a wide variety of garter belts, bustiers, corsets, teddies (similar to the babydoll, but one piece), crotchless panties, and fishnet stockings – items that may not be available at many stores that sell lingerie.

What type of lingerie you should get your love depends a lot on her self-esteem. Many big woman love sexy little teddies, but some will shy away from them, for fear of exposing too much of themselves. Most stores sell lingerie in plus sizes, which are a little less revealing. If she is really athletic, a boxer set might be something she would like. Thin women will look good in anything, but especially teddies, corsets, and babydolls.

When shopping for lingerie, try to keep in mind what she likes. If you purchase something similar to the lingerie she already has and in colors you know she likes, it will probably make her happy. But, keep the receipt just in case!

The regular greeting cards available for Valentine’s Day have very short verses that may not truly express your feelings. By choosing to send Valentine’s ecards you can really make your message of love and friendship as personal and unique as you wish.

The concept of sending online greeting cards has really changed the way in which we view the message we send to our friends and family members on this romantic day of the year. Instead of having to remember Valentine’s Day a few weeks in advance, now you can send the card on that day and the recipient will receive it instantly.

There are many categories to choose from in free Valentine ecards. You can choose ones that contain a message of love with music to match. One example to think about is an ecard that displays a single red rose with the words ‘You’re Special’. As the card plays different images of the rose come across the screen and each screen has a message telling the recipient how you truly feel.

The benefit of sending Valentine ecards is that you can write your own message once you choose the perfect design, animation and music. You usually don’t have a choice in these features of the card, but it is the message that gives the true meaning of the card.

Choose a card to send to your parents, grandparents, children, lovers and friends. Depending on your needs, you may have to search through many sites to get the perfect ecards, such as one where you can record your own voice reading the message you want to send.

Valentine’s ecards do not always have to be romantic. There are many humorous designs and greetings you can choose from that will truly make the recipient laugh. This is a great way to keep in touch with someone whom you haven’t seen in a long while and just want to remind them of the good times you shared together. It is also a cute way of sharing secrets among friends and lovers.

There are Valentine’s ecards for him and her that will let you express your emotions in a special way. At the same time there are also generalized greetings that you can send to anyone on your contact list just to let them know you are thinking of them. What a way for a boss to surprise the employees by sending a greeting to each one of them on Valentine’s Day! This little electronic greeting card is one of the best ways to start the work day off just right.

When you have a difficult time saying what you feel, you can easily let Valentine’s ecards do the talking for you. As the recipient reads the words coming across the screen and listens to the accompanying music, he/she will understand the emotions you want to express. Send an ecard to your brother or sister on Valentine’s Day or send a hug to a friend.

Think about the hobbies or passions of a friend or relative and find the perfect Valentine’s ecards that will bring a smile to their faces. A friend who enjoys puzzles for example, would love to receive an ecard that contains a puzzle to solve. One that likes surprises would really enjoy receiving one with popping balloons. You can have just as much fund choosing the perfect ecards for everyone on your list as they will have reading them.
