Why not treat someone special with our personalised gift service? |

Lingerie is a really special gift for most women and getting it right can be tricky so it's a real wow when it’s spot on. The Pudding gift service will help you to choose a special gift that will flatter her and she'll love. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Do a bit of homework first
If the person you are buying for has shopped with us before we will hopefully have her permission to share her size and style preferences with you so email us or give us a call and we’ll be able to help.
If we don’t have her details and you live together, try and take a look into her wardrobe and underwear drawer, you may be able to take a look at her size of bras and knickers and you should be able to spot her favourite colours and styles.
Make sure you look at sizes on things she wears now, not stuff she used to wear when she was a different size! (We hesitate to suggest it but you could look in the laundry basket!!)
Also, have a look at which brands she has previously purchased, it will give you a good idea of what she likes and knows fits her well.
It needn’t take very long but should give you a head start in working out what she would most like to receive.
If you don't mind her knowing you are considering getting her lingerie, why not ask her to fill in a few ideas on one of our online wish lists and email it to us/you – that way you can still surprise her but you know she’ll love whatever you buy!
2. Think about what you would like to say with the gift and what sort of style she’d go for. For example, do you want to buy something that’s:
tastefully sexy? If so, look at our Seduction range?
a high fashion, exclusive design? If so, head for our Designer section.
classically beautiful, strikingly different or fun and cute? If so, take a look at our Beauty range.
pretty but still wearable and practical? If so, head to our Pretty every-day styles.
great for everyday wear with a focus on the smoothness and shape it gives to outfits? If so, choose from our Every-day/Practical range.
You can browse by style to select gift ideas in each of these categories.
3. Take a look at our selection of brands – they are all provide something a little bit different and they are all the best in their field, there may be some she’s mentioned or that you think would be a great choice for her.
Our brand descriptions and shop by brand facility will point you towards gift in these categories.
4. If you’re familiar with the style of underwear she wears now, it’s a safe best to stick to that sort of style.
Different styles of underwear can give very different shapes and some people suit certain styles more than others. Our Fitting & Sizing Information will help you to recognize different styles so you can search for others like them, and if you don’t know the style she likes, our advice can also help you to choose a flattering style for her shape.
5. Choose a colour that will compliment her skin and hair colouring or match certain outfits.
A lot of women like a range of colours to match different outfits so choosing something to match her favourite party dress is a thoughtful gift. If she wears dark colours, then any strong colours will work really well, so you don’t have to always opt for black – although it is always popular! If she wears paler colours or white, consider choosing a neutral colour like ivory, pink or nude which won’t show under her clothes.
6. The all important question - what size is she?
If you’re not sure what size to buy, our Sizing & Fitting information will point you in the right direction. If you still can’t decide, then consider a gift from our range of nightwear – it’s much easier to get the size right as all you need is an idea of her dress size. Alternatively, why not opt for a gift voucher so she can choose herself? We’ll happily exchange any gift and even if it’s not quite right first time, it’s worth knowing that our customers always tell us how wonderful it is to receive a lingerie gift, even if they have to change it slightly!
7. Think about the finishing touches.
We usually recommend that you buy at least 2 pairs of knickers – most women wear their bra at least a couple of times before washing it so it's nice to have a couple of pairs of knickers to match, and some people like a choice of styles too.
If you want to make her feel really special , why not add a suspender belt, stockings or perfume – the sort of gifts she might not treat herself to that often but will love!
We’ll wrap your selection in tissue paper and a luxury Pudding gift box tied with satin ribbon.
