"Honeymoon lingerie is a hugely popular bridal shower and bachelorette party gift, which I find a little awkward. I mean, when else in your adult life are people buying you underwear? And not just a pair of cotton boyshorts&amp;amp;#8212;little tiny pieces of satin and sheer silk that are supposed to constitute &amp;quot;underwear&amp;quot; but look more like a giant wedgie or a wardrobe-malfunction-in-the-making to me. And the worst part is, people spend a LOT of money to gift the bride with sexy little somethings that she may never wear. (I certainly wasn&amp;#x27;t going to parade around in the little costumes people gifted me!) So if you know the bride isn&amp;#x27;t the type to put on a lingerie show, why not splurge on items she&amp;#x27;ll actually use, like this cuteness from Sleepy Jones. Tauba Shorts, $54. Alex Tank Top, $34. Louise Shrunken Robe, $154. Isabel Dot Socks, $24. Obviously the items above are spendy and you could pull together a similar (albeit lower-quality) ensemble from Target. But my point is, guests SPEND on bridal shower and bachelorette party gifts, so they might as well spend on something the bride will actually wear. I mean, I&amp;#x27;d probably never spring for $54 boxer shorts for myself, but people definitely spent more than that on thong-and-triangle-bra sets for me that never saw the light of day, so I GLADLY would have taken the super-posh boxers and worn them to threads, ya know? Would you like to receive this stuff as the bride, or do want the sexy stuff for your bridal shower and bachelorette? I&amp;#x27;d much rather buy stuff the bride will actually wear! (And I&amp;#x27;d LOVE to receive this stuff!) "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
