Ok, so I know some people are all "Valentine's Day is just a money-making scheme and I don't celebrate it because I show my partner that I love them EVERY DAY and don't even like flowers or chocolates or lingerie or weekends away anyway."
Those people are lairs. Everyone likes to feel special. Some people even like to make other people feel
special. I am one of them. I like Valentine's Day. I like making Nash little tiny cards in the shape of hearts and leaving them all over the house. Does this make him love me more? I don't imagine it does. I don't think he even remembers what I did for him on Valentine's Day by the 15th of February. But that's not the point. The point is, it's all a bit of fun.
So if you do like Valentine's Day, then I've got a fun little giveaway just for you!
WIN for her:
Lingerie is one of those his-and-hers gifts. She buys a set of gorgeous lingerie and has him unwrap it like it's his gift. Obviously, it's her gift to herself. It makes her feel sexy and powerful and he just happens to benefit from it. On the other hand, he buys her a set of gorgeous lingerie and she feels spoiled and loved while he gets showered with praise and kisses. Not to mention, she's wearing the lingerie right now and she looks pretty amazing in it. So basically, everyone wins.
On that note, I've got a set of gorgeous lingerie from After Eden to give away this Valentine's Day.
How to enter:
- Comment below and tell me: Do you think lingerie a gift for him or for her? And why. Guys and girls are

- The most entertaining comment will be the winner
WIN for him:
I always think the best gifts for guys are the simplest ones. Tools. Socks. Xbox games. These are the things that men's gift-dreams are made of. I know, because I've asked. Extensively. Yes, Nash likes the hand-carved wooden box I bought him for Christmas, but he LOVES the tool box I got him for his birthday. Men are like that. They like practical gifts. The more practical the better. I'll tell you what, if Nash ever gave me a practical gift, he'd have some cold shoulder to deal with. Yes, I NEED new tyres for my car. But I WANT a very expensive scented candle.
So, on the subject of practical gifts that boys need, here's something they don't need at all, but will still love. I've got a hamper of DVD's from Loot.co.za to give away that will melt the heart of any boy. The DVD's include the Batman Dark Knight DVD Box Set (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight & The Dark Knight Rises) as well as the National Geographic Is It Real "The Truth Behind Zombies" series (Nash's choice, obvs.)

If it's something that she's wears for maybe an hour and then you take it off then it's for him. If it's something that she wears all day and then takes off herself then it's for her.

ultimate gift for a guy.... totally depends on what the girl likes, but hear my thoughts, if she is into the whole xbox thing, movies etc, get me a game, something i can play, have fun with get involved in, but must be able to share the fun and joy with you if you wanted to play, whilst having popcorn sweets, food fights and challenges. Celebrations of winning are definately a must! thus said ultimate gift.... a guys night in, xbox and all... with his girl, having fun!

Lingerie is definitely something any and every girl loves, whether it is self-bought or a gift from the man. It gives a confident boost, makes you feel secretly sexy and leaves you feeling more than a little smug, because you just know that Le boy's eyes are going to pop when/if you oh-so casually remove the outer garments ;) So it is a gift that keeps on giving.. for girls
ReplyDeleteI know of no guy that would balk at practical gifts that he can add to his liquor cabinet such as a liquor cabinet/tumblers/wine-purifier and/or a nice bottle of whisky (any decent booze will do). Another very nice gift is anything braai-related; a new grill/tong-set/you name it. Keep it like men. Simple creatures crave Simple comforts

ReplyDeleteI've got a zombie obsessed husband, so a 'Zombie Survival Kit' would definitely go down well on the practical gift side. I'd fill it with rations, 'weapons' and tools that would give him the edge in the apocalypse (that is apparently inevitable) :)

If the lingerie's primary goal is comfort, then its for her. If the lingerie's primary goal is the look of the garment (Very sexy, but not comfortable) then its for him.

A great practical gift to give a guy for Valentine's day would be a multi-tool for example a Leatherman/Leatherman look-alike. It adapts itself to any situation and can even help you in emergencies.

Although he reaps the benefits, I think lingerie is ultimately a gift for her - Sexy lingerie leaves her feeling confident, and if it's matching, ready to tackle anything the world may throw at her (I don't know why this is so, but it's true)! Besides, you can always buy lingerie for a woman and she'll be elated, but if a single man had to receive it, it could just depress him...

For HER...its intimate, sexy, feminine...has a certan kinda of power with all its sensuality
ReplyDeleteloshlib@gmail.com
Lingerie is definitely for HER and HIM, provided that the lucky guy sees his lovely lady wearing it- eye candy. Since the guy will most likely not be able to take his eyes of her, she will be flattered and gain self-confidence.
ReplyDeleteNow what is more sexy than a girl who is comfortable with her body and who has the self-confidence to show it; And this is where sexy and well-designed lingerie comes in !
Lingerie..
ReplyDeleteThe word itself = pure bliss!
It's most definitely a gift for both the lady and her gentleman.
When a woman wears beautiful undergarments with confidence, she automatically turns into a goddess.. This piece of clothing makes her feel lucious and also "Wonderwoman-like", or as After Eden best describes it: 'Our lingerie is about unhiding & revealing yourself only at those moments that you choose too.'
.. thus .. WONDERWOMAN! :) She has the power to mess with a guy's mind (let him forget all about things like zombie-nonsense)and by making herself volnerable by deciding to share her body and a sexy set of lingerie with him, she is giving him the greatest gift.. and making damn sure he knows that he should feel so honoured and privileged that she choose to share it with him!
Therefore, I would say that lingerie is a gift for both man and woman.

Aaah, lingerie. Definitely a win win gift, whoever buys it. And it doesn't have to be for Valentines either! Any old day is fine, I even went as far as to buy a set as an Easter present for my man on a long weekend away! The lacy nuber is fondly referred to as ''the Easter bra'' ;)
ReplyDeleteAs for an enjoyable Valentine's evening together, our most memorable date was a few years ago. I had a TV in the bedroom at the time, so I got my man to set up his Xbox, bring over a fighting game (even the worst gamer can have fun and you can play together), ordered pizza and popped some red wine. Let's just say major browny points were earned!
Now that I think of it, perhaps I should think about a round 2 this year!

The best gift to give a man is something he will enjoy. most men care about whats underneath the lingire so to me giving a man lingire seems pointless. i perfer giving my man vouchers reedmable for any naughty thing he wants and something he has had his eye on for a while like a dvd or game.

I think lingerie is a gift for her - I liken it to giving a guy a nicely wrapped present..in my experience they hardly notice the packaging, ripping it to shreds to get to their pressie :-)

Def After eden Lingerie for her and for him def a PS3 . My hubby is dying for one . So thats what he will be getting this year .
ReplyDeletenicole.g@live.co.za
Lingerie is for her as she needs to feel good and comfortable. Do men know how and what to buy for women?? I think they go for the ultra sexy outfit that is ultra uncomfortable to wear.

The best practical item to get for a guy on Valentines day is lots and lots of chocolates!!! Then you can share.
ReplyDeleteLingerie is definitely a gift for her. It makes us girls feel good about ourselves, i have battled alot with self esteem issues and to get a gift of lingerie from your man says,"baby, I want to see you in this because I know you can pull it off". It makes us feel sexy and good about ourselves.It not only makes me feel good about myself but my man never buys me lingerie unless i promise to prance around our apartment in it for a while, he says, "I am doing this to boost your confidence so you dont have to feel down for the rest of the day." and surprise surprise it really helps. This should be a technique used to help all girls with a low self esteem. It makes us feel good about our bodys, after all we were made in Gods perfect vision.
ReplyDeleteI definitely think lingerie is for both the guys and the girls! For a girl it makes her feel sexy and confident and for the guy there is so much of eye candy that he wouldn't be able to wait to unmask it! Therefore both parties win :)

1. Say She Looks Hot
2. Keep It On!… at least a little bit longer before you rip it off….

Lingerie is as good a present for him as it is for her. She gets to wear something that makes her feel sexy and desirable, and the guy gets to enjoy the fruits of his efforts. If he got it right, she will love it and will not hesitate to put it on for him. If she got it right, her man will be pretty much speechless and will very much appreciate what he has, that much more - and then some ;)

I think its a gift for both man and woman. The womans wears it because she feels great and sexy in it. Its her gift to him.
ReplyDeleteThe man loves it because he sees the effort made, how sexy his partner is and appraises her for it. His gift to her.

I think lingerie is a present for her. Always let the woman select it though as men it is simply far to dangerous an area to select things for her by yourself. Vouchers are a far better alternative. If a man is going to venture into selecting something sexy then please take note of her actual lingerie sizes nothing worse then getting that wrong. Also edible g-strings does not count as lingerie nor do nipple tassles or underwear that is too shiny with too many ribbons or corsets that are cut out around the boobs.Basically most men are unsure of what constitutes as "Sexy" They may have good taste and like what you select but are helpless at choosing for you, that makes a big difference. I also think lingerie is for women, we all know what a spring in out step it gives us if we know we are wearing a matching set...the power we feel when our boobs look amazing in that sexy, stylish lacey bra. How we feel like a goddess when we slip on a beautiful expensive looking negligee. Beautiful lingerie gives woman confidence and that benefits both men and women. We know are also better at selecting the right stuff for our bodies if you are more of a hotpants kinda girl and are now presented with a tiny piece of floss type of thong then you know your booty may not look its best which then creates friction as you are worrying about that and that usually leads to the lady not wanting sexy time. So basically men, 90% of you will get it wrong, don't even try. Women are complex and always know best so let them choose. Afterall a guy will tell you he likes the red bra (even if you have 20 red bras) not because he likes the detailing of that bra but because you are more confident when you have it on (and later when it comes off) and what is more beautiful then a confident woman!

Lingerie provides you with a sexy feeling all day long, whether those around you are aware of you wearing it or not...for the guys (personal experience) its a total jaw-dropping, turn-on moment especially if its the first time they see you in it...I personally think its a gift for both but a huge confidence booster for the ladies <3
ReplyDeleteLingerie is definitely for me. Why? Because being single means when I spend Valentine's Day alone on the couch with a massive box of chocolate, getting drunk on champers and watching "He's Just Not That Into You" I like to look and feel sexy ;)

Sexy lingerie is for him to look at and then undress you after he's had enough. It is never for the lady as sexy lingerie is most times so uncomfortable that no woman can stand wearing it all day! My toughts on the picture............does all the models have to have perfect bodies? How do you thing us normal women feel like after seeing those skinny models in sexy clothes? - fat, old, and ungly!
ReplyDeleteenige vrou voel mooi en sexie wanneer sy mooi en gemaklike onderklere aan het. Enige man waardeer en hou daarvan dat sy vrou mooi onderklere dra - en ja jy kan al is jy hoe oud - dis bedoel vir jou en sy oe alleen
ReplyDeleteLingerie is for HER. Its her secret... shared only when she is willing (unless of course she has an unfortunately embarassing moment). Ladies appreciate, the colour, the detail, the cut, how it enhances her ass-ets... men only appreciate it as much as is necessary to get it off and get down to business.
ReplyDeleteLingerie for HER.
ReplyDeleteWell who even needs a Valentines-man to spoil a girl on Valentines day when she can wear sexy lingerie for herself... After all, there is nothing better in the world than when a bra fits right, holds them 'girls' up in place... or uhhem... gives them a bit more of a boost in my case. ;)
Say what you like, but when a girl wears proper-fitting lingerie that also looks like it did NOT come from the grand-ma closet - in other words fashionable, sexy lingerie, a girl feels confident and hot.
And for those lucky ladies who can share the beauty of lingerie with her man, there is no greater joy for a woman, than to see her man look utterly amazed at your beauty and his cute look on his face when he looks at you with new eyes... then later his clumsy attempt to take it off in an eager hurry shortly thereafter ;)
On another note, lingerie is definatley a confidence booster by far... For the less, curvy figure such as myself, it can give her cleavage like what would have never existed before and it also helps to fill-out those tops catered to every other lucky bustier lady.
