Top 10 Lingerie Gift Ideas Christmas 2025
As Christmas 2025 approaches, choosing the perfect lingerie gift is about more than just colour or size. It is about selecting a piece that reflects the wearer’s personality, the moment and the current trends.
Lingerie has evolved dramatically in recent years, becoming a statement of style, comfort and empowerment. In this guide, we’ll start by looking at the broader lingerie trends for 2025, and then dive into our top 10 lingerie gift ideas which make great presents this Christmas.
Whether you’re buying for a partner or treating yourself, there’s something here for every budget and taste.
Why lingerie makes a great Christmas gift
Lingerie is one of those gifts that works on multiple levels: it feels intimate, celebratory and personal.
Especially at Christmas, when moments of swapping gifts and sharing small treats are part of the ritual, a carefully chosen lingerie piece can feel indulgent.
Because it’s close to the body, it conveys thoughtfulness—“I know you, I value you.”
But there’s also some “gift challenge” involved: fit, size, style preferences and comfort all matter.
That’s why understanding the trends and choosing something thoughtful (rather than simply flashy) can make all the difference.
2025 Lingerie Trends — What to keep in mind
Before zooming into specific gift ideas, here are some of the major lingerie trends for 2025. These help guide what will feel fresh and relevant—and therefore a more thoughtful present.
1. Comfort + style = non‐negotiable
More than ever, lingerie is being worn for you—for how you feel—rather than just for someone else. Brands emphasise wireless bras, seamless and stretchy fabrics, breathable materials, and fits that adapt to the body rather than forcing the body to adapt.
2. Sustainability and ethical design
Sustainability isn’t an optional extra—it’s a core part of the throw for lingerie in 2025. Expect organic cotton, bamboo-blends, recycled fabrics, better manufacturing, inclusive size ranges and more transparency.
3. Bold colours, vintage revival, sheer and lace details
While basics remain important, 2025 is also about stepping things up: lace, embroidery, sheer fabrics, vintage corsetry echoes and bold colours or prints. Deep berry tones, rich reds, gothic romance influences, and vintage-inspired silhouettes are all in.
4. Lingerie as outerwear and self-expression
Another shift: lingerie elements that can be shown off or styled visibly—bodysuits, lace cami tops, pieces that can peek out or be layered. The line between underwear and outerwear continues to blur.
5. Inclusivity and size diversity
More brands are offering extended sizes, diverse body types, gender-inclusive styles, and designs that celebrate the body rather than hide it. This is part of the broader cultural shift.

How to Choose the Right Lingerie Gift
While the above picks are great, the best gift will always align with the recipient’s: style, comfort, size, confidence. Here are some pointers.
Know the fit and size
Lingerie sizing can be tricky. If you’re buying as a surprise, it helps if you already know their bra size, preferred silhouette (padded vs wireless), and their comfort level with things like harnesses or teddies. If you’re unsure, picking a gift-card or something with a flexible return policy can be prudent.
Consider comfort and style preferences
Does the person prefer comfort and softness (wireless, bralette, breathable fabric) or are they drawn to more elaborate, lacy, statement pieces? Align with that. As we noted, 2025 is big on comfort and style, so a piece that blends both tends to hit home.
Match the occasion
Is this a gift for the “big moment” (anniversary + Christmas), or a lighter “stocking filler”? The advent calendar or playful teddy might be good for fun, while the luxury set or chemise might be better for a more intimate, considered gift.
Think about colours and trends
For a seasonal gift like Christmas, deep jewel tones (berry, burgundy, red), black, and metallic/lace accents work especially well. They feel festive and aligned with 2025’s colour direction for lingerie.
Materials and ethical credentials
If the recipient values sustainability, look for pieces made with organic or recycled fabrics. It’s a subtle but meaningful detail. The trend in 2025 is for ethical production to be part of the story.
Presentation counts
Lingerie lends itself to elegant packaging. If you can wrap it nicely, include a note, make it feel special—this amplifies the gift’s impact.
Gift Ideas by Budget & Purpose
Here’s a quick breakdown of gift ideas depending on your budget and purpose.
-
Luxury/high-end (for “splurge” gifts): The advent calendar is at the top tier. Think silk, fine lace, designer brands, limited editions.
-
Mid-luxury (special but not over the top): Sets like the “New Romance” or “Crimson Charm” are in this category—rich colour, good build, strong “wow” factor.
-
Fashion-forward/edgy: The harness style set offers something a bit more daring and trend-driven.
-
Comfort + everyday elegance: The chemise, babydoll or even a high-quality bralette set make for gifts that get worn, not just admired.
-
Budget-friendly but thoughtful: The blush teddy or a well-made lingerie set at a lower price point shows care without over-extending budget.
Final Notes & Tips
-
Timing: Order early! With holiday shipping, returns, and potential sizing issues, it’s wise to shop sooner rather than later.
-
Returns/Exchange policy: Given fit issues, ensure the retailer allows for exchange or return (especially for bras/sets)
-
Care instructions: A nice extra is to include a note or card with care instructions (wash with care, air dry, etc). Helps the gift last.
-
Think beyond the “matchy-set”: Sometimes giving a beautiful bralette or a chemise alone (rather than full matching set) can feel less pressure and more wearable.
-
Be thoughtful about packaging: If possible choose brands or retailers that offer gift wrap, or add your own ribbon/box. It enhances the feeling.
Thinks to remember
In summary: Christmas 2025 is a brilliant time to gift lingerie that is confident, stylish, comfortable and aligned with the person you’re giving it to.
With trends emphasising bold colour, quality materials, comfort, and thoughtful design, you’re spoiled for choice.
Whether you pick the standout advent calendar, a rich red set, an edgy harness, or a soothing chemise—choose with the recipient’s style and comfort in mind, and you’ll gift something memorable.
