I have a organic, earthy, yoga loving friend who is getting married and we are having some trouble thinking of places to find lingerie for her bridal shower. I was thinking something silk, long nighty or something.
Anyone have any ideas of places to look? 7/4/2011 11:26:32 PM |

Hippy lingerie? Weird. Just buy some Victoria Secret and run over it with the car. 7/4/2011 11:40:34 PM |

Any particular reason you're going for lingerie? At my bridal shower people gave me crap I'd actually use, like cool cookbooks and Amazon gift cards. 7/5/2011 10:30:26 AM |

Last bridal shower I went to I gave a vase full of candles and lotions and a nice bathroom trash can (because I love mine)

It depends, is this a bridal shower, or a lingerie shower? IF it's a bridal shower, get her something off of her registry. If it's a lingerie shower, then do lingerie. The two should not be mixed! 7/5/2011 11:48:04 AM |

If she does yoga, did you look into asking her about any of her gear? Most yogis could always use:
class packages at the local studio more workout clothes (tanks and pants) a better mat (Manduka, Gaiam or the like) or other accessories (mat bag, yoga DVDs or books, subscription to a yoga magazine etc.).
I do work study at a local studio in exchange for free classes, and we oftentimes have people popping in to get gift certificates or merchandise for their friends for birthdays or other special events. 7/5/2011 12:01:26 PM |

Well, a few clarifications. She isn't a hippy, just an earthy chick and its for her bachelorette party not bridal shoqer 7/5/2011 12:42:59 PM |

Your post was filled with lies! LIES!!
I would get her something silly, like edible undies and flavored lubes, but only if she's not a prude. Prudes suck to shop for when it comes to this sort of thing.
Stuff like this: http://www.amazon.com/K-Y-Yours-Mine-Kissable-Sensations/dp/B003FJKI6O/ref=sr_1_11?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1309884565&sr=1-11
haha wow apparently they make organic lube now: http://www.amazon.com/Sliquid-Organics-Natural-Gel-8-5/dp/B002SV91ZY/ref=sr_1_75?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1309884668&sr=1-75

don't buy lingerie unless it's a lingerie party.7/5/2011 10:52:36 PM |

^ Agreed. My friend back in college had a bridal shower, and lots of ladies got her lingerie that she was completely horrified by and would obviously never wear (this is a girl who I know owns mainly sports bras and cotton panties).
I got her flannel PJs and him a BBQ utensil set, and both items are now well-used. 7/6/2011 3:00:31 PM |

Yeah, I think that's the tricky thing. Unless you 190% know she's the sort of person who would wear lingerie in the first place, it will most likely be wasted money.
I have a funny story about lingerie parties. Back in 2006 a friend of mine was getting married. This girl is the textbook definition of a sexual prude. But her sister is the complete opposite of her, even works in Victoria Secret's headquarters. Her sister was also her maid of honor and decided she would throw a lingerie shower for my friend. Now when I got this invitation I was like, "uhhh... no fucking way is she ever going to wear lingerie " but the invite was very specific about giving lingerie as a gift.
So I went in with another friend and we got her some cute but conservative stuff. Fast forward to the night of the shower. It's at her MOM'S house, with her mom there the entire time, and her mom is super conservative Catholic. So yeah, that wasn't awkward, AT ALL. And my poor friend is opening these gifts and just has a look on her face that's a cross between pain and disgust. And then her sister bought her all sorts of bizarre shit, like bras with a dead chicken's worth of feathers sewn onto it and crap. My guess is she got it all for free at work. It was one of the most bizarre and uncomfortable experiences I've ever had in my life.
I asked my friend recently if she ever used that lingerie. She said she returned most of it and got herself some bras 7/6/2011 5:25:43 PM |

Edible undies. They are great for when you are stuck on a ski lift. 7/6/2011 5:34:05 PM |
