I Love You Man and Dude Don't Buy THAT!

I have to admit something: I have a crush on my (collective) male customers. I love that my boys chat with me about their gal's habits (good and bad), share with me that they are trying for baby #2 (yay!!)--or that, due to baby #2, the mrs. isn't showing any love. Sigh. I love you guys!


I am here for you all to guide you in making the RIGHT selection for the right occasion. For example, I recently had a young man enlist me for help choosing lingerie for his wife-to-be. He thought lingerie would make a nice wedding present. So, upon going down the list of his wants, her needs, etc. it came out that this was his first lingerie purchase for her (awesome!). Then it came out that he wanted a nips-out bra (not awesome!). Here is the deal, dudes, if you are making your very first lingerie purchase for your lady, do not buy anything that is 1) slutty or 2) kinky. Now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with slutty or kinky lingerie--if that is your thing, go for it! However, if this is your first gift of undergarments, you want to relay a level of adoration and respect for your sweetie, not hoochy mama slash stripper fantasy.


So, here is the truth. Buy her something classy and sexy. You can find lots of beautiful, lacey, sheer numbers that will delight you both. Better to be safe than sorry (seriously) when giving the gift of lingerie.

For y'all working on baby #2 (or 3), it is an entirely different story. You can be as creative as you want to be, with my full support.

Jen

Lingerie Gift Guide from the Lovely Ladies of Bellefleur

Lindsey (on the right) Recommends the following "girlfriend" gifts:
Underneath it All, the essential lingerie guidebook. If you didn't know already, it was written by our very own Jen, the owner of Bellefleur! $13.95 -And a massage oil candle in lavender vanilla scent. When you burn it, the warm liquid "wax" is actually massage oil! $10 .

A rainbow of Hanky Pankys. You will most likely buy a bunch of these amazingly comfortable stretch lace thongs as gifts, but then end up keeping a few for yourself.

Many colors available! $18 each.

Scottie (far left) recommends for Mommy Dear(est):

Buying bras for your mom can be a challenge, especially when they won't even come in for a fitting (i.e. my mom). The sad truth is that too many moms aren't wearing the properly fitting bra they deserve. Buy her a gift certificate to show her some love, then accompany her on her visit to Bellefleur for her fitting. She needs your support! (No pun intended.)

Jen's picks for the woman in your life (tall glass of water in the middle):

Upgrade her sleepwear wardrobe with some proper and sexy pajamas. Yes, they exist! Wendy Glez makes the most fabulous, comfy and alluring two-piece pajama/lounge sets on the market (you can find me in them most nights). Around $98 per set.

Show her you still find her sexy by acquiring an Aubade or Mimi Holiday bra and panty set for her. Sexy, sophisticated and well worth the scratch. $150-$250 per set.
Looking for a stocking stuffer?

• Sweet Beauty body and massage oils have real Theo chocolate in every bottle. I am in love with this stuff. For $22, you can be, too!
• Booty Parlor kissable body shimmer and bronzer will make her skin look and taste yummy. The perfect body glow to wear with your new lingerie. $22.
