Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live.

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

Lingerie Christmas Gift Guide for Women

Every woman loves a good pair of lingerie hence why we’ve decided to share the Lingerie Christmas Gift Guide. Lingerie is classified as clothing worn beneath outer clothing i.e. bras, knickers and more. In this Lingerie Christmas Gift Guide, we will introduce a few companies bringing you the best lingerie.

With UK high streets already lining their stores with Christmas inspired products, this is the best time to shop. The items we’ve included in the Lingerie Christmas Gift Guide, are those we’ve received and love. The guide ranges from bras, sleepwear to anti-cheffing knickers, all essentials items for women.

LINGERIE CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

Lingerie Christmas Gift Guide

Lingerie is described as undergarments that come into direct contact with the skin and worn underneath other clothing. Often, when we talk about lingerie, we mean, bras and knickers but it includes shapewear and sleepwear. Our Lingerie Christmas Gift Guide will introduce various brands and our recommendation of their best lingerie gifts.

*Ms Pomelo

Ms Pomelo is an online bra store offers both education on bras and bras for the fuller chested woman. It is estimated that 4 in 5 women do not know there bra size and wear wrong sized bras. As someone who had worn a wrong sized bra for years, I can attest to the discomfort I experienced. Her website is full of gorgeous pieces but also information on sizing, perfect fit checklist and care guide.

What thing that I love about Ms Pomelo is that she wants to educate women with a fuller bust on bras. As part of this gift guide, I chose Bra Du Jour which is priced at £38 in size 38E. The bra is described as a universal bra and comes in size 34D+ through to 42E, such a wide range. I personally loved the feel of the material and the fit on the bra, no flesh was sticking out and the bra sat well.

*Camille Lingerie

Camille is a family run lingerie business based in Derby and has over 20 years experience. The brand is popular both in the UK and abroad and sold in over 150 outlets within the UK. Camille is a specialist retailer of lingerie, swimwear and nightwear and is committed to offering diverse and quality lingerie.

One thing that I loved is that they also offer breastfeeding bras which are cute and stylish. Most women struggle with finding the best breastfeeding bras and glad to share the Camille has the best. I chose the Black Satin Moulded Cup Underwired Nursing Bra priced at £21.99 and comes in 34C-40G sizing. The material is very soft to touch, I loved that the bra fit my bust comfortably and loved the adjustable clips.

*Bloomin Sexy

Carol and Jill are the creators of Bloomin Sexy an anti-chafe lingerie created to fill the gap in the market. I can relate to Jill and Carol’s story, I too have worn bike shorts and booty shorts to reduce chaffing between my thighs. To be honest, I have probably tried every remedy on earth including applying talcum powder between my thighs. Who doesn’t want to be sexy without chaffing with every single step taken?

Over the years I had always wondered if there was anything sexy on the market and thankfully Bloomin Sexy is. Bloomin Sexy have combined luxurious soft tulle with unique Italian satin thigh panelling and adorned them with the finest French and German lace. Be ready for that Marylyn Monroe moment whenever it might be. I love the satin feel of the anti-chafe knickers most importantly I love how it looks on. 

Hunkemöller Lingerie

Hunkermöller lingerie is a brand I was introduced to back in 2016 and have since fallen in love with it. Over the last two years, I have picked up some sleepwear and various undergarments from them and love the design. So far, they are the only brand that I am purchasing non-padding bras from that fit to form. I am one of those people that once I find something I like, I rarely deviate, because who wants to mess with a good thing.

Lingerie Christmas Gift Guide

One thing that has always made me gravitate back to Hunkermöller is the comfort of their products. The bras fit perfectly, are stylish and give great comfort wearing them all day. I love the smooth material used for the nightwear and almost all other nightwear. Besides the great feel of the material, it is long lasting and quite affordable. Most importantly, who wouldn’t want affordable and long lasting stylish lingerie.

*UK Lingerie

Someone tell me am not the only one who loves British brands! Because not only am I supporting the local economy, I am also supporting the British brand. Saying that quality and affordability often spring to mind when making a purchase. Thankfully, UK Lingerie has both, all the items have bought from them have been of top quality. This Blue bella bra is one of my newest additions to my collection and I have fallen in love with it.

Lingerie Christmas Gift Guid

UK Lingerie has a wonderful collection of comfy loungewear, well-fitting sexy lingerie and perfect nightwear sets. Browsing through their website, you will immediately fall in love with their products. To this day I am still loving all the pieces I bought from them and can not recommend them enough.

Lingerie Christmas Gift Guide,

When I was curating this Lingerie Christmas Gift Guide, I wanted it to be a mixture of sponsored and personal purchases. Thanks to all the brands featured in this gift because of your I have discovered something new. To our readers, we do hope these brands listed are appealing and gave you some food for thought. 

Disclosure: All asterisked headers are items that were sent for inclusion into this guide. All opinions and thoughts shared are my own and drawn from my personal experience.
