Just that really. Whilst changing the bedding over today I've found a gift bag containing a full lingerie set. Well I presume it's for me lol! My friend said that she wouldn't like that kind of gift and I told her she was a prude, all jokey btw. I just wondered how it sits with everyone on here? X

Depends on the underwear. Is it for you or him?
My dh has given me some really beautiful underwear in the past which I really appreciated.

Lost5stone · 03/12/2018 11:34

I certainly wouldn't be offended (unless for example he brought it in a size 8 for me to "fit into" or some shit like that) but I would expect more than just that for Christmas because I'm a princess

Justmuddlingalong · 03/12/2018 11:34

There's lingerie and there's lingerie. What kind did he buy?

SleepingStandingUp · 03/12/2018 11:35

Well is in nice lingerie or cheap thrills lingerie?

53rdWay · 03/12/2018 11:36

I’d rather an M&S big undies multipack personally. But if you’re hugely into lingerie and he knows you’d like it, fair enough.

Whatdoesitmatteranyway · 03/12/2018 11:36

It would piss me off. Not because I'd be offended or anything like that but his taste is pigging awful.

I'm a larger lady shall we say and he likes PVC and cheap tart outfits.

he also doesnt understand that "one size fits all" doesnt apply above a certain size.

seventhgonickname · 03/12/2018 11:37

As above,who is it for.?

Babdoc · 03/12/2018 11:37

Cheap nylon porno lingerie - offended.
Beautiful silk/satin wildly expensive designer stuff - not so much! But would still prefer a present I actually wanted, if this was me.

AnneLovesGilbert · 03/12/2018 11:37

I love getting lingerie as a gift from DH. I'd be thrilled to bits!

glamglamgirl · 03/12/2018 11:38

Well I presume it's for me unless he's got a bit on the side lol.

If it was nice lingerie that matched my taste I’d be happy. If it was awful nylon red stuff with fake fur, wouldn’t be happy

Justmuddlingalong · 03/12/2018 11:39

I think seventhgonickname means is it for yours or his benefit.

Racecardriver · 03/12/2018 11:40

I love pretty underwear and would be very happy with that kind of gift.

Elfinablender · 03/12/2018 11:41

I wouldn't mind so long as I still got what I wanted for Christmas

garethsouthgatesmrs · 03/12/2018 11:41

its nice to get good quality "nice" underwear from a decent shop as i normally just buy the noring plain stuff for myself. As long as it's in the right size and to my taste (which he should know after 14 years) then why be offended?

MumW · 03/12/2018 11:41

I'd be mighty pissed off with kinky red underwear clearly to DH's taste but over the moon with luxury, feminine lingerie that was about me, maybe sexy but definitely not this is to turn me on.

glamglamgirl · 03/12/2018 11:41

Oh right lol. Well I guess it's for both our benefits. He likes that kind of stuff and I don't mind dressing up as it's good fun.

IHeartKingThistle · 03/12/2018 11:42

I always get some nice underwear from DH. BUT it's stuff I like, he gives it to me on Christmas Eve so I don't get embarrassed opening it and he also gets me other presents. That's the way to do it!

SleepingStandingUp · 03/12/2018 11:45

Well if he's bought it for you to dress up in for him I'd still expect a proper present

RosemarysBush · 03/12/2018 11:45

Sorry, I don’t understand why you’d be offended? Surely your partner is the one person who can?

I would think it was more for him than for me tbh.

I wouldn't mind him asking me to wear a certain type of underwear or whatever, but making out it's a gift for me would have me a bit . It's like being bought an iron or something.

GhostSauce · 03/12/2018 11:48

That's a present for him though, not for you.

SleepingStandingUp · 03/12/2018 11:48

RosemarysBush
I think it's the idea that it's simply there to turn him on be a use your just an object for him to jump his lust into

redexpat · 03/12/2018 11:49

I would ask wheres my present?
