Subject: Cashmere Unmentionables?
Please help me out, Ladies.

I'm heading to Paris in January (short business trip). A female friend suggested I bring back some cashmere panties from Gentry de Paris for my wife. They run ~$80 per pair. The cost, although high, doesn't bother me. I'm trying to figure out if my wife will be happy at receiving something so luxurious and decadent or pissed that I spent that much money on underwear.

I've been trying to feel her out to see whether she'd prefer a super luxurious gift or a more practicle gift (I've just posed it as a theoretical question). She tells me that she can't answer the question without knowing what the two particular gifts would be.

So, any helpful insights?

Bill

I wouldn't want cashmere panties. I don't like cashmere, it makes me itch.

I can think of other things I would like from Paris...like a nice handbag, certain brands cheaper there...

That is a hard question, I like practical gifts most of the time, but something impractical is nice sometimes too. I say...go with satin or make sure to get a matching top with the panties. Just the bottoms aren't as nice of a gift.

Buy them!

Only if the cashmere is on the outside, not the inside.

Totally agree Lara. Especially since cashmere doesnt work for me either.

Janelle, it doesn't matter if its just on the outside, it will still itch around my legs and all seams!!! LOL

in general.. is she a practical gal or one that enjoys the occasional decedance?



Yes.

That's what makes it so difficult. She doesn't mind spending ~$300 on shoes or a purse but won't order fajitas at certain mexican restaurants because they charge an additional $1 for sour cream...

I don't care. I don't want to be itching "down there" for any reason.  

If she likes cashmere, buy the panties AND a top. Seriously. She likes to splurge...I'm the same way especially if its from somewhere special.

Why can't she go with you? Now THAT would be nice.

You can never go wrong with cashmere. Never. The choice is anything else v. cashmere, always, always, always go cashmere.

Unless you're dating TriComet.

I dunno- I still think it's a good idea.  A pair of new panties from anywhere makes a women feel really sexy- I say buy them.

I'm in agreement, if she likes cashmere, go for it! But buy a top too!!! Listen to me on this one. You don't want just one nice pair of panties...go for the set.

Chippy is right: Welshy, don't buy me cashmere panties.

My wife asked me one time why I never bought her anything sexy to wear....I asked her if the $80 panties and $50 bra would look any different on the floor than her plain Jockey's....I told her if she really wanted to turn me take the $130 and tape it too herself...achieve's the same thing and afterward you still have the $130 to go spend.....just a thought (hmm....maybe that's why I have been sleeping on the couch lately)

ok...

Yours is not to reason why, but to make your wife feel sexy. Go with me on this. If she feels hot, I promise you'll be the beneficiary of this. You might not have to spend $130, but I gotta tell ya... if she's asking you why you never buy her anything sexy: that was a hint

How is she going to get pregnant if you're sleeping on the couch?!!

Ok guys, some things we've learned today:
1. buy her the panties AND a top
2. Brett...buy your wife SOMETHING. I think some panites with money printed on them would be hilarious.
3. No one buy me cashmere anything.

Cashmere is wonderful, however, cashmere panties are very impractical and a waste of cashmere.

La Perla has 2 boutiques in Paris. Exquisite unmentionables. Pop in there to finder her something sexy and indulgent.

24, Rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré or 179, Boulevard Saint Germain

I have a worldly friend who answered the question, "What's the difference between French girls and American girls?" with the answer, "Better underwear."  He would know.

I actually did buy here a set of sexy underthings a while back.....truthfully she isn't into all that anyway prefering comfort and functionality over sex appeal...and I was joking about the couch!
