Looking to treat your lover for an upcoming trip? We’ve had a lot of partners coming in to put together a surprise package on their way out of town, so we thought we’d share our favorite tips for this most luxurious and exciting gifting experience.
Firstly, we recommend doing a bit of investigating before you come in. If you don’t already know, have a peek in your sweetheart’s top drawer to get a sense of her sizes. Check the bras she most often wears and not the band and cup size (34C, for example). Have a look at 2-3 of her favorites, and don’t be surprised if the sizes are not the same on all three. Depending on the shape, brand, fabric, etc. of the bra, she may have some variation in her drawer. If you can remember a few, that will help us get a good idea of what will fit best. Many of our bras are extremely adjustable so it’s pretty easy to get a good fit with a bit of inside knowledge! Don’t forget the bottoms and loungewear, too. This is a bit easier, since these will most likely be in S-M-L sizing. Alternatively, if she’s shopped with us before, we’ll have her purchase history to reference to ensure the gift will be a hit. We happy to provide this service in store, as well as for anyone who can’t make it into the shop — just give us a call or send an email and we can organize the best way to support your gifting needs!
Equally important to size, it’s important to have a good sense of her style. Does she wear thongs or briefs, or both? Does she like bras with underwire? Does she like lace and embroidery or tends more toward understated mesh? Does she like a bit of edge and strappy styles, or is she more comfortable in a more traditional, romantic style? It’s helpful to have an idea of what will make her feel great and comfortable so the gifting experience is fun for both you and she. There’s nothing quite like being seen and understood, as well as indulged, by your romantic partner!
We love knowing where you’re traveling to, as well, to try to match the vibe of your getaway! Is it a bright and tropical vacation that begs for a colorful and vibrant package, or will you be slinking through historic, cosmopolitain, romantic streets of Paris, where dark and unexpected lace might be a better fit?
Once we get a sense of her, we like to recommend a handful of lingerie sets as well as loungewear. This could include a three piece set, with a bra, underwear, and garter belt, with which garters or stockings could be paired for a complete look. Sometimes, when we’re not 100% confident about a band and cup size, which is a very specific fit, we’ll recommend a wireless bra or bodysuit, which can be more flexible and likely to be a good fit. Bodysuits or teddies are a great gifting option, since they look fantastic and offer a complete look in one piece. Many of them can also be worn as a top with pants or skirts, which can make for a fun and sexy date night ensemble.
It’s a great idea to pair a couple of more erotic selections with some luxurious loungewear, like slip dresses, robes, or pajama sets. Imagine drawing a rose petal laden bath to share upon your arrival to your lovers retreat, and she unwraps a luxurious silk robe to lounge in for the rest of the day, while you order room service and luxuriate in each other’s company.
Once you’ve made your decisions on what will be coming home and beyond, we’ll remove all of the price tags and wrap everything up in beautiful tissue packages that can easily and discreetly fit into your luggage. Our cloth bags are perfect for travel - they keep intimates especially organized and tidy, and upon repacking for departure, can be used to keep dirty laundry organized in your luggage and ready to pop in the wash when you get home.
It’s our pleasure and honor to help you make these beautiful moments in life even more special, and we look forward to serving you soon!
