1. Get The Sizing Right...
To avoid the embarrassment of having to compare you partners assets to those of our shop staff, mannequins or varieties of fruit, we recommend having a peek in your partners lingerie drawer before coming into the shop.
Take a picture of the label if you're unsure where to look, and check a few bras - its always useful for us to know if the wearer is in-between sizes as we can get a better understanding of fit (each brands sizes will often come up slightly differently to the next, so this can be really useful) Don't forget dress sizes too for knickers, belts & slips!
Don't fret if this isn't something you can do... we've got plenty of items that are easier to choose sizes for when you don't have all this information. Slips, Teddies & body stockings are great options and are a little easier to fit without trying on!
(See our measuring guide here if you're measuring at home)
2. Find A Style They Feel Great In...
Keep an eye out for what shapes & styles of lingerie your partner wears, and pick something they will feel comfortable in! Note if they're into super skimpy thongs & strappy styles, or a little more coverage, & keep an eye out for bra shapes, if they are plunging or cut across the bust in a 'balconette style', weather they like a little padding or more sheer soft styles.
You are much more likely to see them wearing the set often & with confidence... & they will feel sexier than in something they would never choose for themselves.

3. Colours!
Some people love a vibrant colour pallet & we've got lots to choose from, we know that many red heads look amazing in green & some have a penchant for purple. Choosing a colour can be a bold move, but shows you've put in a lot of thought about your partners tastes.
If you want to push the boat out and get something a little different to the norm, come and talk to us! or drop us a line at shop@shesaidboutique.com. Our staff are well trained to talk through with you your loved ones preferences, colouring & shape to get an idea of what new colours & styles may suit them.

If in doubt... Black lace is still always a winner in our eyes!
4. Budget...
If you've got it all to play with why not go for a stunning full set, or luxurious appliquéd silk to surprise your beau. We've got plenty to see in our luxury gifting selection...
We also have loads of beautiful & erotic products that will not break the bank. Looking for luxury? A stunning solo lacy knicker or thong is always a treat, we will gift wrap it beautifully and you can take all the credit...
Or go for something a little cheekier, check out our crotch-less & overt collection for naughty knickers starting at £14.99, or maybe a pair of decorative hold-ups or pin up accessories to go with a set they already own...
5. Plan Ahead!
We try and stock as wide a range of sizes as possible, however as it comes closer to big days such as valentines or Christmas we can sell out of popular sizes. By popping in a few weeks ahead of the date you need it by, you will get a much large choice of styles to choose from, with a chance to reserve your size in upcoming deliveries, and even choose from our wide selection of styles not stocked in the boutique via our personal shopping & advice service.
Drop into our Brighton boutique to have a look at some of the styles we have available, and for help choosing a swoon worthy lingerie gift for your partner. Or you can get in touch via email shop@shesaidboutique.com or phone 01273 777811 to chat to our wonderful staff about sizing and styles.
