So then guys, you want that ideal surprise gift for your lover? Well lingerie is the perfect way to pamper her and make her feel oh so good about herself – giving you some very nice benefits too! But shopping for lingerie can be confusing and, yes, a little intimidating – after all there’s so many things to choose from!

Well here’s the good news – we can help you make the right choice to ensure you get those extra brownie points you can cash in later! And relax guys, just a few simple rules will ensure that cupid’s arrow is aimed right where you want it! Buying that special gift is easy and enjoyable when you know how!

Just keep in mind Maralisha’s five steps to lingerie heaven!

1. First things first and this is the golden rule, guys be prepared to buy for your lady rather than yourself. Don’t be put off, this doesn’t mean be boring but lingerie says “I love you”, and like exquisite jewellery or perfume, must be chosen well to ensure that both you and the wearer gain enjoyment and feel appreciated. Keep this mindset and you won’t go far wrong!
2. So, think about your partner; is she shy or extrovert, fun or demure. There’s nothing wrong with either extreme, (or anything in between!!!!!) but a mismatch of garment to personality is a sure fire way to lose the effect. There’s garments out there to suit every taste, but don’t assume the lady is a vamp every time! Think about the message you are sending and, whilst its okay to push the boundaries sometimes, that it always states I love you just the way you are!
3. Thirdly, don’t just think bras and knickers, think about the look you creating. Is she fond of a particular lingerie item, or happy to show a certain part of the body whilst wishing to hide another? Work with this to ensure a style she will enjoy - you may be a leg man but is your lady ready for an entire look built around sexy stockings and a suspender belt or would a slightly more understated garment be a better starting point!
4. Then think about getting the size right - lingerie needs to fit well to feel good! Now this is not easy, your lady will have struggled with this herself in the past and sizing is not an exact science! You need to be a bit cute to pull this one off - a quick visit to her lingerie draw and a look at the tag on her favourite apparel will give you all the information you need. And write it down, lest you forget those essential numbers and letters!
5. Think about colour and texture – black is always a good choice and very popular but consider whether she likes some colours more than others, patterns rather than plains, and go for sensuous fabrics not just sheer ones! Silks and satins are truly stunning, and detailed embroidery or Chantilly lace offer a delicate finishing touch to any garment.

If you are still a little unsure, ask her best friend (as long as she promises to keep the gift a secret!) for a little advice or even ask your partner – but be subtle about this and don’t make your reasons too obvious!!!!! Remember, your motives here are to make sure you get it right – so don’t feel embarrassed about asking the question.

And, rest assured your best efforts to buy that gorgeous item for the one you love will be much appreciated. What sexy woman wouldn’t want to be handed one of our beautifully wrapped Maralisha presentation boxes with stunning lingerie inside … it is a thought that’s sends a message of love and desire to that special person in your life!
