subject: Buying Clothes As A Christmas Gift [print this page] For some people, the pure thought of buying clothes for someone else is scary or downright frightening when faced with the seemingly endless varieties, sizes and whatnot. But if you instead choose to buy the clothes online, the process is so much easier and you can find lots of useful information on any of the numerous websites dedicated to clothes, shopping and fashion.
As Christmas is closing in many of these goldmines of information have entire sections on what to think of when buying certain types of clothing. Buying lingerie is a good example, many men have no clue as to sizes, cups or denier and browsing in an underwear store isn't every mans dream. Some of us feel like dirty old men peaking thru a window, not a pleasant feeling at all. Although only a false feeling (of insecurity perhaps?), this can be enough to stay clear of lingerie stores entirely. Finding a good source of information is easy online, then all you need is to find an equally good online store that sells the type of clothing and the brands you are looking to buy. Easy enough, right?
Figuring out what type of clothing and/or the brand is the next thing on the agenda. If you are living with the person who will receive the Christmas present, its easy. All you have to do is look thru his or her things, write down the sizes of each type of clothing (shoes, pants shirts etc.) and look at what he or she seems to wear. If every piece of clothing in a persons wardrobe is black, odds are a bright yellow T-shirt won't be the most popular gift under the Christmas tree. Of course one can try to change peoples sense of style, but it is rarely - if ever - a success. In a similar manor it can be a good idea to see what type of clothing they wear. Of course, if you are living with the person, this should already be obvious, but one should never underestimate the negligence of many men, some will get surprised seeing not all clothes are designed to please his eye, but to be comfortable and practical. Buying a short skirt for someone only using pants will more often than not result in either her changing it for something useful or hanging it behind all other clothes she never uses. Either way this is clearly not the best Christmas gift possible.
Knowing the sizes, colors and style of the person is essential before trying to buy clothes as a Christmas gift, but for those who don't want to sneak - or simply have no way of sneaking in the closet - there is the possibility of asking. Easy and painful, although it may ruin the surprise.
No matter what you buy as a gift - Christmas or otherwise - it is best to take a receipt and make sure its possible to return or change the gift if it doesn't fit, that way the present wont end up only warming a shelve somewhere.
