The wedding anniversary is a perfect time for couples to celebrate their love. Gifts exchange hands, and old vows are often reaffirmed. But how about giving lingerie as an anniversary gift?
Of course, there are the traditional wedding anniversary gifts. These range from paper in the first year to leather in the third, silver in the 25th, gold in the 50th, and so on. But should you let the union of jewelers that created that list dictate the terms of your love?
This post looks at the pros and cons of stepping out of your comfort zone and giving your woman lingerie as an anniversary gift.
The Pros of Lingerie Anniversary Gifts
If you find yourself between the excitement of getting her something hot for your anniversary and the stress of a possible provocation or conflict, then here are the top reasons to still go for it.
-
Complimenting Her – Every woman wants to be adored and longed after. So, by gifting her lingerie, you reaffirm your emotions for her. This is one of those romantic gestures that fade away as most relationships age. Of course, you'll need to take your time to find lingerie that highlights her best spots for the full effect.
-
Showing That You Care – You'll be surprised at how many husbands completely forget their anniversaries. So, by getting her lingerie, you remain one of the good ones that remember. Of course, knowing that you care will also deepen her emotions for you and lead to a healthier and happier marriage.
-
Boost Erotic Intimacy – It should eventually come to this because that's what lingerie does to every relationship. Once she's all dressed up and you are both in the mood, you will be rewarded for your efforts. Lingerie highlights the sexuality in every woman and leads to a more fulfilling sex life.
-
Photo Shoots? – More adventurous couples will find plenty of ways to have more fun with the lingerie you got her. This can range from simple bedroom games to more daring boudoir photoshoots. The options are many.
The Cons of Lingerie Anniversary Gifts
Of course, there are equally good reasons to consider not giving her lingerie as an anniversary gift, and the major ones are as follows:
-
Bad Sizing/Pricing/Style – The most common complaints from women are either that the lingerie doesn't fit, it is too cheap or expensive, or she just doesn't like the style. This can be bad, but also avoidable. Simply do some research beforehand. Ask her questions, see what she likes, know her size, favorite colors, etc.
-
Who Is It for? – Some women are so insecure and will always try to find hidden meanings in everything. The issue might be that you didn't buy it for her. So, either you are trying to satisfy your lust or you wish she were someone else. The truth, however, is that lingerie is for both parties in a relationship. But if your woman is the irreconcilable type, then you may want to find something else.
-
Jealousy – This is an issue on your part. If you find yourself worrying about her looking too sexy in the lingerie or using it to lure other romantic partners, then you have jealousy issues. And you are the only one that can help yourself.
- Highlighting Shape Changes – Assuming you've been together for some time, then she has probably had a few kids and this usually comes with shape changes. This is not the case with everyone though, but if you suspect that she might feel insecure about her body, then it is best to first discuss the issue.
