Choose the Perfect Holiday Lingerie

Before you can wrap up a steamy surprise for your partner, you’ve got to pick out the holiday lingerie – and let’s be honest, this part is half the fun! Choosing the right set can make the gift feel thoughtful and flirty, turning it into his favorite surprise of the year.

Here’s how to find the chef’s kiss holiday lingerie piece:

• Pick festive colors: Opt for classic holiday hues like red, Sugarplum Pink, Alps Green, or Retro Blue.
• Texture: Look for textures that feel both luxe and cozy – satin, lace, mesh, or velvet.
• Focus on fit and comfort: You want to feel confident and flirty while wearing it, so make sure it flatters your curves. For Mentionables expert tips on a flattering fit, check out our sizing guide and our Feeling Confident in Your Body blog post.
• Mix and match for impact: A lacy bra with cheeky bottoms or a sheer robe can make the gift feel extra special.
• Add a little surprise: Consider subtle details like bows, garters, or customized touches like personalized initial charms that catch the eye when he unwraps your gift.

MENTIONABLES PROTIP: Consider what he likes, but at the end of the day, pick a holiday lingerie piece that makes you feel your best – your confidence is the real present here.

Creative Ways to Wrap Holiday Lingerie

The gift isn’t just what’s inside – it’s the thrill of the reveal.

How you wrap your holiday lingerie can be just as tantalizing as wearing it. Think playful, cheeky, and a little unexpected: bows that beg to be untied, boxes that hide a naughty secret, and little touches that make him wonder what’s coming. Presentation isn’t just about looks; it’s about creating anticipation and a sultry moment he’ll replay in his head over and over again.

Here are some creative ways to turn your holiday lingerie gift into an experience your partner won’t forget:

• Inside a Holiday Ornament Box: Fold a lacy thong or a harness into a decorative box for a cheeky tree surprise.
• Under the Tree in Plain Sight:  Hide your lingerie inside an innocent-looking gift box, so it appears to be anything but sexy – like ‘just another sweater.’ Tip: You can give it early or save it for a private moment if little ones or other guests are around.
• In a Stocking Stuffer: Roll up the holiday lingerie and tuck it inside his stocking for a fun Christmas morning discovery.
• Wrapped Around You: Slip into it yourself and reveal it later – tied with a bow, robe, or oversized sweater.

MENTIONABLES PROTIP: Use ribbon or tulle bows instead of wrapping paper – simple to undo, with a sweet, girly detail that pairs perfectly with your holiday lingerie inside.

Make Your Holiday Lingerie Reveal Playful

Why let him just open a gift when you can make the whole experience flirty and fun? 

From cheeky hints to playful tricks, the way you reveal your holiday lingerie can turn an ordinary unwrapping into a moment full of laughter, teasing, and a little bit of naughtiness. Every little temptation along the way only makes the final reveal that much more of a deliciously naughty surprise – for both of you.

Try these fun ways to make him earn every inch of your holiday lingerie surprise:

• The Treasure Hunt: Leave little clues around the house leading to the final “unwrapping.” We love the scavenger hunt featured in this blog post.
• The Christmas Eve Tease: Text him a photo of the gift box under the Christmas tree – but tell him he’ll have to wait until tonight to “unwrap it.”
• The Disguised Gift: Wrap your holiday lingerie in layers of boxes, so he thinks it’s something else entirely.
• The Surprise Reveal: Wear the lingerie under your holiday outfit and reveal it later when the lights (and tree) glow just right.

MENTIONABLES PROTIP: Up the ante even more by getting creative with your gift timing – have him discover the present at a completely unexpected moment, like after a shower or while cozying up by the fire. 

Add a Personal Touch To Your Holiday Lingerie

The best gifts are the ones that feel thoughtful, personal, and a little bit indulgent – just like your holiday lingerie. Adding your own special touch transforms a sexy gift into something meaningful and uniquely yours, showing your partner that you put care, creativity, and a little extra flirtiness into every detail. 

From personal touches to playful extras, here’s how to give a holiday lingerie gift that wows every time:

• Handwritten note or flirty card: Include a personal message with a hint of what’s to come.
• Scented surprise: Spray a light spritz of your perfume – especially the scent he loves most on you – onto the tissue paper for a teasing, personal touch.
• Playful “open when” tag: Add a fun instruction, like “open after dessert” or “unwrap after midnight,” to build some anticipation.
• Long-distance twist: If you’re apart, send the gift with a video message or a teasing photo hint to make the moment special. Not sure what to text or write? Our sexting blog post is full of inspo to help get you started.

MENTIONABLES PROTIP: Our Holiday Collection charm lingerie pieces are the perfect opportunity to add a personalized touch. Add a letter charm with his first initial – making your holiday lingerie gift both personal and a little naughty.

Add a Little Extra to Your Holiday Lingerie Gift

Want to make your holiday lingerie gift even more memorable? Add a few playful extras that turn it from a simple surprise into a full-on bedroom experience. These little touches make the moment more personal, flirty, and way more fun.

Here are a few sexy little add-ons to take your holiday lingerie gift to the next level:

• Bedroom Games: Toss in Mentionables’ Truth or Dare cards, our Hot Seat Couples Game, or our best-selling positions cards to keep the fun going long after the wrapping paper’s gone.
• Sensual Essentials: Slip in Coconu lube for an all-natural touch of pleasure, or a bedroom towel for playful practicality.
• Make It a Set: Pick tasteful lingerie and an accessory that pairs well together – like a sultry teddy with the positions cards, or a lace set with a bottle of lube for a flirty finishing touch.
• Mood Setters: Include a holiday-scented candle, massage oil, or a soft, sexy playlist to set the scene for your cozy Christmas night in.

MENTIONABLES PROTIP: Wrap these extras alongside your holiday lingerie instead of gifting them separately –  it turns your present into a whole night your partner won’t soon forget.
