While buying a sophisticated chocolate sampler and a bouquet of roses takes some thought, choosing lingerie for your partner is a little more complicated. Should you opt for a sexy matching set or a simple robe? How big is it? And does anyone actually know what a teddy really is?

Picking out a top gift requires a little more effort on the part of the man, but it’s worth it. According to a 2019 survey, 90% of men rate sex as their top choice for a Valentine’s Day gift (no surprise there) and a LifeStyles Condoms survey shows that women choose sex over other traditional gifts like flowers, chocolates and jewelry. In other words, you can think of lingerie as a win-win gift for everyone involved, as she may be more likely to be engaged if she’s wearing confidence-building unmentionables, and seeing her in them will certainly get you in the mood, too.

It’s important to remember that ultimately, this gift isn’t about you. You need to pick something that makes her feel comfortable and sexy (if it highlights her best assets, that’s just a plus). And if you really want to hit the mark, you should consider her personality and style when making your choice. Does she live in feminine clothes? The floral lace set will be a surefire hit. Are practicality and comfort always her top priority? A simple satin loungewear set might be a safer choice.

Still in a panic? Don’t sweat it. We’ll make your shopping experience as painless as possible with this roundup of a handful of winning pieces every woman will love.
