No point in making good quality stuff as it's meant for taking off, not wearing

That's good, in fact its very good.

There's a chance using that logic of not getting it wrong, or am I deluding myself??

You lose.

I'm glad that some of the women folk on the org backup my immediate thoughts when i read Mike's post.

I was also thinking that it sounded like someone was under the thumb a tad, but I've met Mike, and he's a decent guy, so I would never insinuate something like that :P

Ed, we can tell where you buy presents from

Personally, I avoid buying the Mrs new underwear, because it's such a minefield. It's not really difficult to find something she would like, but you can put money on it that if it's more riske, and she's not in that mood when she opens the package, it'll be greated with a roasting, regardless of if she later wears said garment. Same applies if it's not riske.

Presents for the Mrs are usually things a little more adventurous. Like a track day in a car (but shush! She doesn't come to the forum!) I have been known to send her on a spa day though (summer time, kids went to see grand parents for the day, and I spent all day playing in the twisties by Rhosniger )

Learn what she likes to wear to go out, to make her feel special.
Learn her size. (correct size - take her out and get a professional bra fitting)
Learn what brand fits her shape well.

Always buy at least three pants to each bra.
Spend a lot for good stuff.

and finally, get something else as well, so the lingerie is an 'extra' present.

thats very true, but make it an extra pressie, not the main thing then you can gauge her reaction to the other pressie first before giving it to her (the liguerie that it), thuis avoiding a potential grilling if she's not in the mood.

A lot of good points there definitely buy for her not you and don't go for the tarty stuff unless they actually like that sort of thing

don't agree with the thong thing though, loads of women prefer thongs to anything else

and yes you get what you pay for

its simple! find out what size your girlfriend is, then buy her something at least 1 size too small

So she'll feel fat when she can't get into it? Great plan that...

Tasteful, sexy lingerie of the correct size that she can actually wear comfortably is always the best bet.

And just to follow that up.... Something she feels sexy in, not what you think is sexy, there is a difference....
