With Mother’s Day so close, I started thinking about how so many people make the mistake of buying inappropriate lingerie for their mothers. So I decided to impart my advice regarding the “dos and don’ts” of giving our respectful and wise mothers lingerie as gifts.

Let us go first to the Do Not Buy List. While some of you may not agree with all these points feeling perhaps that you are close enough to your mother to purchase taboo items, it is in most instances prudent, especially for male members of the family, to follow some form of decorum such as not buying panties, thongs or g-strings. This is too intimate to be purchased by sons. Do not buy crotch-less or peek-a-boo numbers. If a daughter is purchasing the gift, do not buy items that are emblazoned with swear words, sexual innuendos and vulgar connotations. These items are best left for your girlfriends. Stay away from flimsy and sexy items that are better suited as gifts from a husband or significant other on Valentine’s Day.

Acceptable and well appreciated sexy lingerie that may be bought as gifts for mothers would be a tasteful matching gown and robe. A pretty new flannelette nightgown or pair of cotton pyjamas is also pretty. Mothers always like to receive new housecoats. A lovely kaftan, hand painted kimono or lounging outfit would be really lovely. A beach cover-up for mothers who travel, cruise or use the pool is also a welcome treat.

So please, the next time you think of purchasing lingerie for your mother, think tactfully and choose pieces that will be appreciated and will embarrass no one. Check out the internet for some discount lingerie .
