Mother’s Day Intimates Gift Guide With 5 Ideas for Your Wife

These products were featured for Mother’s Day in 2023. Styles, sizing, prices, availability and brand claims may have changed, so check current details before buying.

Intimates can be a personal gift, so fit, comfort and the recipient’s preferences matter more than treating any one style as universally “perfect.” This roundup covers five clothing and intimate-apparel options that stood out to us at the time, from bras and underwear to a robe and activewear.

DreamFit Intimates

DreamFit’s full-figure bras were included for shoppers looking for supportive intimates with a range of styles and colors. When choosing a bra as a gift, confirm the recipient’s preferred size and style rather than guessing; fit can vary by brand and design.

Everviolet Calla Modal Kimono with Lace

Everviolet’s Calla Modal Kimono combined a soft modal fabric with scalloped lace sleeves, pockets and a tie waistband. The design was also marketed with wide sleeves intended to make dressing easier around some medical-access needs. Anyone buying for recovery should confirm current product details and the recipient’s individual needs.

ICONI Blue Mid Thigh Short

ICONI’s Back to Basics activewear collection included sports bras, leggings, shorts and workout tops. We featured the Blue Mid Thigh Short as an option for someone who prefers activewear over traditional intimates. At the time, the collection emphasized stretch, pockets and moisture-managing fabrics and was offered across a broad size range.

Eileen West Ballet Wrap Robe

Eileen West is known for sleepwear such as nightgowns, robes and pajamas. The Ballet Wrap Robe offered a more traditional Mother’s Day gift option for someone who would rather receive comfortable loungewear than lingerie.

WAMA Underwear

WAMA was included for its hemp-and-organic-cotton underwear. The brand offered multiple cuts and colors, making it another practical option for a recipient whose sizing and underwear preferences you already know.

What to consider before giving intimates

Intimates are unusually dependent on personal taste and fit. Check sizing, fabric preferences and return or exchange policies before ordering, and avoid assuming that a style will work simply because the size label matches another brand. The roundup covers 2023 products, so verify current materials, collections and availability directly with each manufacturer.
