To learn more about how controversial the gift of lingerie is, we reached out to Tina Wilson , relationship expert and founder of the dating app Wingman . Tina was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda , noting that “any gift you buy needs to be a gift for the receiver, not something that you like or like for them. A gift should be based on what you know about them, and what they like and dislike.”

Tina also says that lingerie in particular is an extremely risky gift. “It subconsciously suggests you want to see that person in it, therefore a gift for your eyes, and not so much for the receiver,” she explained. “The intimate sense of lingerie speaks to nudity and the bedroom, so if someone is not feeling confident, it’s the very last thing that they’d wish to receive.”

“When considering a gift for your partner, really think about their interests and passions,” Tina suggests. “You’ll always make the right choice if you buy something they will really love/cherish and make use out of.”
