To not want lingerie for Xmas?

[Hangingover]

Would you be happy to get lingerie for Xmas if you hadn't asked for it?

Yes dh used to often buy me a nice lingerie set at Christmas. He knew sizes etc and what I'd like and he also knows I have a thing for nice bra and pant sets. What I wouldn't like is something totally unpractical in red or bright colours.

Your update is brilliant.

A nice set of PJs would be an ideal present to me. I'd also be open to lingerie as long as it was something nice that I would enjoy wearing. Once I got some icebreaker undies and it converted me to merino base layers for life.

In my defense, I have about 200 items of lingerie (almost all unworn; tiny lacy scraps that don't fit and feel like they've turned into bees when you put jeans on over them) that DH has bought for me over the past 5 years

Op are you me?

Quietly hoping clearly branded box I saw arrive is in fact satin pjs...not likely.

Sorry can’t help it but turned into bees has me in stitches not funny I know anything uncomfortable is hell on Earth.

Update on Xmas day?

No definitely not

Wow, I'd be astonished at any man being so sexist as buying lingerie as a present - it is for their serial pleasure & reduces the recipient to satisfying the givers sexual drive.

Well. not necessarily. My best (male) friend buys me lovely lingerie. It's definitely not for him. He never sees it and absolutely never suggests that he should. It's not that sort of relationship. He buys it because I like it

I think it’s a nice present and shows they still think of you romantically unless it’s something you’ve previously expressed that you don’t want etc obviously.

DH usually gets me a “naughty list” present which is on my pillow when we go to bed on Christmas Eve. It’s usually “bedroom” lingerie which’s very much a present for both of us but I am very happy with that.

I go get lots of other things that are definitely for me (and suitable to open in front of the DCs).

I literally cannot imagine this ever happening in my relationship! If my DH ever did this I would be very suspicious 😂

I love all kind of cliche typical women’s gifts like lingerie, perfume, candles, even shower sets🙄 so i would be delighted. But i can see how others might go what the hell

I even like unpractical, lace, g stringy bits. Wear it under an inconspicuous pair of jeans and a wooly jumper sitting in Costa feeling ‘sexy’ 🤭

I like lingerie as a gift (provided it's to my taste and in the right size!) BUT I would expect something else as well. For me the sexy stuff is a bonus present.

Yes as long as I get other pressies too and it's something I like.

For my first Xmas with DH he got me some nice ones and I still like them

My boyfriend sometimes buys me underwear, definitely the sexy type. It's never been the only gift though.

I would like lingerie but dh knows my style & has v good taste & would select something I would love.
The first year we were together he bought me a truly beautiful set & I loved them
A year or so after 1st dc was born he could see I was lost in the new role of being a mother & he bought me the most beautiful v expensive silk nightdress & robe & every time i put them on I felt like 'me' - a person again
He hasn't bought any in a while but I would be open to it due to his past successes.
It would have to be a private personal gift though with more suitable ones under the tree for public opening!

If it was something I would wear daily and was the right size and style, then yes. But if it was an Ann Summers type thing, no. I wouldn't mind being bought it but not as my present as that's more a present for him.

No. Not for me. I'm not particularly into sexy underwear and pyjamas. I prefer comfortable and practical and would rather choose them myself as I am rather a fusspot. DH knows this and generally leaves me to it, which suits me just fine.

Prickly, uncomfortable sexy ones simply wouldn't get worn.

I prefer things like book vouchers to anything else so that I can choose reading material that interests me. DH usually knows this and there is nearly always an Amazon gift voucher for me.

I am, however, gracious about all gifts I receive.

@NoIDontWatchLoveIsland was it undies or PJs?

I love a new bra with matching pants for Christmas. OH has got me some really nice ones this year and regularly gets them for me. I also got a gorgeous set of kitchen scales with weights I’ve mentioned I might like, a Lego architecture model, a bluetooth speaker for when I’m listening to music on my phone while cooking, pasta making bits and bobs and a range of gin. Presents being good or bad is surely down to how you feel about them and how well they show the giver knows you?
