Oh yes, it’s that time already! My Christmas gift guides were a bit last-minute last December, so I’m trying to get them published nice and early this time round. After all, I can’t be the only one who’s already ticked half the people off of my to-buy-for list.
First up, some lingerie-themed-but-not-actual-lingerie ideas. A great way to treat the lingerista in your life when you’re unsure of their size or preferred style! Many of them are also budget-friendly (prices start from around £5) so they’re perfect as stocking fillers or for Secrets Santas too.
I scoured Etsy to find these products and they’re all handmade, so doubly-perfect if you would like to support independent designers with your holiday shopping. That does mean though that a few pieces are created to order, so you may need to purchase early. Below each item I’ve listed the country it ships from, and you can check the product listing for the expected processing time.
EWLingerie ‘Something New’ Embroidery Hoop Art, £16.50 (~$22 / ~19€)*
Ships from: UK
A unique little artwork that’s the perfect adornment for a shelf or boudoir dresser. If you like this, you might also like this similar piece* by another artist that is inspired by the lingerie brand Creepyyeha.
Anna Martini Engraved Wood Corset Magnet, $10 (~£8 / ~9€)*
Ships from: USA
A cute little magnet to dress up your giftee’s fridge, and hold up that all-important grocery lingerie shopping list in style. It’s made from birchwood and is laser-engraved.
The Parlor Apothecary Lingerie Mist 1oz. Spray, $38 (~£29 / ~33€)*
Ships from: USA
This fragrance is so perfect for lounging around in fancy knickers in, they called it Lingerie Mist. It’s a sweet blend of sugar and vanilla – and who wouldn’t love that scent?
Lacaudry Création Corset Bookmark, 16€ (~£14 / ~$18)*
Ships from: France
Know a lingerie addict who loves to kick back in her favourite robe and read a book? This sweet little corset bookmark could be the perfect thing! If not, the designer’s corset keychains and bag charms* are lovely too.
Jools By Meytal Bar-noy Gold Swimsuit Necklace, reduced to $67.50 (~£51 / ~59€)*
Ships from: Israel
Okay, the brand says it’s a bikini – but who can really tell? This sweet little ‘bra and knickers’ design is plated with real gold, and is actually two separate necklaces for multiple styling options.
Gigi Garter Gallery Copper & Rhinestone Garter Hook Earrings, $20 (~£15 / ~17€)*
Ships from: USA
Another jewellery option, these earrings are upcycled from salvaged suspender grips. Don’t think your giftee will like the copper colour? This Etsy seller has a ton of other styles*!
Evie La Luve The Lingerie Makers Project Book, £9 (~$10 / ~12€)*
Ships from: UK
The perfect gift for someone who likes to sew their own lingerie! This stylish and super-handy notebook lets your recipient jot down everything they need to remember to recreate a particular design, plus has space to sketch the final product or attach a Polaroid.
Trixie Sews Spotty Knicker Kit, £13.50 (~$18 / ~15€)*
Ships from: UK
Here’s another sewing-themed present idea for the more beginner-level seamstress. This all-in-one kit contains everything needed to make a pair of knickers up to a size Large, including instructions. Giftee not a fan of pink? There are four other colour options available too, plus different prints in the seller’s shop.
K Madson Ooh La La Paris Lingerie Drawer Pull Set, $30 (~£23 / ~26€)*
Ships from: USA
A bit of a niche gift perhaps, but for the right person these knobs make for a chic and decidedly unusual stocking filler. They’re perfect for dressing up a plain chest of drawers, and for the lingerista with a huge collection, organising it so they know in which drawer they’ve stored their bras, stockings, chemises and so on!
Miss Rose Sister Violet Scented Sachet, $22 (~£17 / ~19€)*
Ships from: Australia
Speaking of lingerie drawers, here’s a rose-and-violet-stuffed sachet for your giftee to pop in there and keep all of their underpinnings delicately fragranced. Whilst there are lots of scented drawer sachets on Etsy, few are as luxe as this one. It’s made from vintage silk and lace, and comes presented in a gift box.
Polkadot Dog Sweet Nothings Coaster Set, reduced to $12.60 (~£10 / ~11€)*
Ships from: USA
These coasters feature tulle-tastic vintage lingerie and perfume ads by Rene Gruau for Dior. The seller also has a second set* with different Dior illustrations and since they’re made to order, it’s worth enquiring about getting the lingerie-themed coasters from both combined into a custom set.
Bobby Pins Co WW2 Lingerie Enamel Pin Set, $13 (~£10 / ~11€)*
Ships from: USA
Another treat for a fan of vintage lingerie. These pin sets (sold individually) are inspired by novelty WW2-era intimates that would be bought by soldiers stationed overseas and sent home to their sweethearts.
Creepy Gals Period Panties Keychain, $10 (~£8 / ~9€)*
Ships from: USA
Know someone with a quirky sense of humour? Maybe they’d love this keychain – it looks cute and pretty from a distance, but get up close and you’ll see that the love heart is actually period blood!
Farbenzirkus Lingerie Art Print, 9.90€ (~£9 / ~$11)*
Ships from: Germany
How about treating the lingerista in your life to some artwork themed around their passion? Pop it inside a pretty frame to make it an extra-special gift.
Les Créations Rosenoire Small Wash Bag, CA$8 (~£5 / ~US$6 / ~$5)*
Ships from: Canada
Sometimes the most-appreciated and most-used gifts are the practical ones, rather than the pretty ones. Although I recommend hand-washing all your lingerie, if it is going in the machine then a mesh bag will at least protect it from snags and tears. Contact this seller if you know your giftee loves a particular colour, otherwise it will be chosen for you at random.
Betty Blues Loungewear Lingerie Bag, £20 (~$26 / ~23€)*
Ships from: UK
After a gift that’s practical, but pretty too? Then how about this fabulous mesh and satin storage bag? It has all sorts of uses – protecting your giftee’s favourite pieces in their lingerie drawer, storing PJs on the bed, carrying lingerie when travelling, and so on.
Royal Makings Undergarments Sofa Tissue Box Cover, $17 (~£13 / ~15€)*
Ships from: USA
Plenty of homes have a visible box of tissues lurking around somewhere, but they’re hardly pretty decor. Let your lingerie-loving giftee covers theirs up with this topper, designed to look like a little couch with cushions. It comes with a box of tissues already inside, so your recipient won’t be wondering what on Earth it is.
Kat Forhan Designs Delicates Zippered Pouch, $20 (~£15 / ~17€)*
Ships from: USA
A cute, bra-print cosmetics case that’s perfect for travel or storing in their handbag. It’s a one-of-a-kind design so if you know someone who would love it, get it quick before it’s gone!
Fellow lingeristas, what would you most like to receive from this list yourself?
