the christmas gift guide for men
lingerie she'll actually love
let's be honest: buying lingerie for your partner can feel like the riskiest present on the list.
Get it right and you're a legend. Get it wrong and it's a polite "thank you" and a quiet trip to the returns queue. It doesn't have to be that way. Whether she's your girlfriend or your wife, here's how to buy lingerie for her this Christmas with confidence, and why an Untold Story lingerie gift takes most of the guesswork out of it.

step one
don't stress about the size
Sizing is the number one reason men put off buying lingerie. You don't know her bra size, you don't want to ask, and you definitely don't want to get it wrong.
So choose pieces designed to forgive. Our styles have easy adjustable sizing, with adjustable straps and fastenings, so the fit works with her body rather than against it. You're not gambling on an exact measurement. You're choosing something that's built to be comfortable and flattering on the day she opens it.
step two
go for a matching set
If you're not sure where to start, start with a set. A matching bra and knickers (or thong, or suspender belt, or stockings) looks considered and complete. It says you put thought into it, and it takes away the "will this go with anything?" problem.
Our colourful, embroidered lace comes in matching sets, so you can pick a colour or design that feels like her, then build from there. Want to go all out? Add a suspender belt and stockings to the same set and you've got a gift that feels properly special.

step three
pick something that feels like her
Think about the colours she wears, the jewellery she chooses and the way she dresses when she's feeling most herself. Is she bold and bright, or soft and romantic? Our lace is colourful and detailed, so there's something for both. Bold shades for the confident dresser, softer tones for the romantic.
And if she's newly engaged or getting married next year, take a look at our bridal range. A Christmas gift that she can wear on her wedding day is hard to beat.

step four
it arrives beautifully wrapped
Here's one less job for your Christmas to-do list. Every order comes with a free gift box and tissue paper, so your present arrives ready to go under the tree. No wrapping skills required, no panic on Christmas Eve.
And there's an option to leave a note at checkout, so we can hand write a special message to your loved one and tuck it inside the package. It's a lovely personal touch, and you don't have to lift a pen.
step five
fast delivery, so you can leave it a little late
We know that most gifts are bought in the last stretch before Christmas. Our speedy delivery means you're not stuck worrying about whether it'll turn up in time. Just remember to check the last order date on our delivery page before you place your order, so you know you're safe.
step six
easy returns, so there's no pressure
The biggest worry with any gift is getting it wrong. With easy returns, there's a safety net. If something isn't quite right, she can send it back or swap it without any fuss.
That means you can buy with confidence, knowing there's no wasted present and no awkward conversation.
