Giving underwear as a gift is no small matter. It is an intimate garment, worn every day, and a mistake in size or style is immediately noticeable. This guide is here to help you avoid common pitfalls and turn this gift into a choice that looks like it came from someone who really knows the person receiving it. Why underwear is a more delicate gift than it seems Three mistakes occur most often: an approximate size, a style too far removed from what the person actually wears, and a low-quality fabric that makes the gift look like an afterthought. A good underwear gift is the opposite: the right size, a fabric that feels good to the touch as soon as it is unwrapped, and a range that matches what the person already wears. How to guess the right size without asking The most reliable way is to check the label of a pair of underwear they already own, or to check their usual trouser size, which provides a reliable indication for most size charts. If in doubt between two sizes, it is better to choose the larger size: slightly oversized underwear can still be worn, but undersized underwear never can. Which range to give according to their style ESSENTIEL, in organic cotton jersey, is suitable for someone who wears sober colors every day. IDOLE, also in organic cotton jersey, is for someone who likes bolder colors and a more distinctive style. When in doubt, ESSENTIEL remains the safest choice, suitable for the widest range of styles. Packaging and presentation: what makes the difference Underwear given in its original packaging, with a personal note rather than a generic card, completely changes the perception of the gift. It is a simple detail that takes time rather than money, and makes all the difference between a gift that looks like it was chosen at the last minute and one that looks thoughtfully chosen. Frequently asked questions How long in advance should I order to receive it before Christmas? For delivery in mainland France before Christmas, the order must be placed no later than Monday, December 21. For delivery in Europe, it is best to order a few days earlier. How can I find out their size without asking them directly? The most reliable way is to check the label of a pair of underwear they already own, or to use their usual trouser size as a guide. If in doubt between two sizes, it is best to choose the larger size. Can AKINOM underwear be exchanged if it doesn't fit? Yes, an exchange of size is possible under the conditions set out in the AKINOM returns policy. We recommend keeping the label and original packaging until the size has been confirmed.
