Wrapping of Lingerie - What to Avoid

While bland and boring wrapping paper technically gets the job done it’s not remotely fun and definitely fails the yummy test. For starters, here are the things to avoid:

  • wrapping of lingerie in anything plain or basic like a grocery bag
  • wrapping paper left over from your child’s birthday party
  • the plastic bag that it came in
  • an old shoebox
  • a brown paper lunch bag
  • duct tape under any circumstances

Carmen's Tip

Never use gift wrap that has been previously used or recycled! It might seem like a good idea to you at the time, but it isn't.

The Wrapping Basics

Ok, so far so good - we’ve covered the basics on what to avoid. Now, on to the fun ways to gussy up a gorgeous gift.

If you’re more of a traditionalist when it comes to wrapping or you simply don’t have a lot of time to spare, tissue paper is a quick and easy way to make beautiful lingerie look magical.

Tissue usually comes in generous and inexpensive pre-packs of virtually every colour and print that you can possibly imagine, so don’t be shy about using it. Opt for a shade that complements the lingerie and line the box or bag with plenty of paper.

Arrange the lingerie in a pretty manner...then fold the excess tissue paper over it. A dainty gold or silver foil sticker, or a pretty ribbon is always a nice finishing touch.

More insider tips:

  • Want a glamorous look? Opt for gold, silver, or pearlized tissue, boxes, bags, and wrapping for a look that screams chic
  • Choose wrapping paper with a feminine theme...a soft pretty floral gift wrap, or paper in her favorite color is best
  • Traditional feminine wrapping of lingerie colors include lilac and lavender, pale pink, baby blue, and pale silver
  • If your sweetheart loves bold colors (take a peek in her wardrobe for ideas), then don't be afraid to go bold and choose richer tones like deep velvet red or yummy royal purple

Lingerie Wrapping 101 - How To Add Something Special

When it comes to making a gift truly memorable, the best wrapping of lingerie ideas take a bit of imagination, a dash of ingenuity, and a whole lot of heart.

How? Think outside the box and add some whimsy to the gift. Draw some inspiration from these creative ideas:

  • Nestle a matching pair or two of pretty lace panties with a chemise or nightie
  • Add a romantic card or her favorite poem
  • Slip in a few of her favorite candies or some yummy chocolate truffles
  • Include a small stuffed animal or music box with her favorite romantic music
  • Add a gift certificate for a day at a luxury spa

La Pièce De Resistance

If you really want to kick it up a notch, add a piece of jewelry (every girl loves a bracelet, pendant or earrings), or her favorite perfume, bath soap, bubble bath, or body lotion.

The Ultimate in Valentine's Day Romance

If you're a diehard romantic who loves extravagant grand gestures and want to impress your sweetheart on this most romantic of days, the sky is the limit.  Feel free to make use of these ideas and customize them as your own:

  • Add a simple note inviting your honey on a romantic weekend getaway to a luxurious B&B that they've always admired
  • Include 2 tickets to a sold out theatrical production - in New York, London, or Toronto. The possibilities are endless

  • Place a bottle of champagne and two crystal champagne glasses next to a silk negligee set or a matching lace bra and bikini panty.
  • Blow your loved one's mind with the ultimate luxury gift add on - two tickets to the south of France, the beaches of Tahiti, or some other romantic place you've both been dreaming of.  Tuck the tickets in the box under the lingerie, so when your sweetie unfolds it the tickets fall out.  The look on their face will be - priceless!
