Best Lingerie Boutiques In Philadelphia For Valentine's Day Gifts

Valentine's Day is coming and you want it to be perfect. Flowers, chocolates, dinner, a movie, all those classic standbys have merit, but it's about more than that. It's the one day of the year that is wholly devoted to love and romance. It's not enough to merely exchange candy and cards, the day must bristle with something truly unforgettable and intimate, and there's no gift more intimate than lingerie.

However, if you just wrap it up in a box and hand it over with an eager grin, you are denying her the full pleasure of the lingerie experience. The thrill of perusing the possibilities. The divine feeling of being pampered by an attentive and knowledgeable staff. For it to be truly personal and meaningful, something she will cherish (and brag about to her girlfriends), she needs to be involved from the very start. Don't just give, take her to a place where fantasy and reality merge in a wonderful world of exciting options. This Valentine's Day, treat her to a trip to one of Philadelphia's best lingerie boutiques.

Mona, the revered owner, is frequently touted by customers as having the uncanny ability to size by eye in an instant. Her knowledge and endearing candor make the experience of shopping at Coeur something you will not only likely never forget, but will want to experience again and again.

You might be wondering why Mi-Lady is designated as a Corset Shop. It's because this boutique has stayed true to the old-fashioned practice of taking the time and care to properly fit their customers.

Second generation owner Marcy Druker has over 34 years of experience in ensuring that when you leave, there are no painful underwires, slipping straps, creeping out issues, or any other undesirable situations. Her compassionate and talented staff has also been trained to fit mastectomy products, as well. If you want to feel as great as you look, then Mi-Lady Corset Shop is the choice for you.

For those who are less of a passenger and more of a driver, and who relish taking those exhilarating off-road trips, there's a chance the more traditional lingerie boutique might not be what you're looking for.

For a bold Valentine's Day, check out the edgy offerings at Delicious Boutique.
