Girl's Gift Guide

Unmentionables: G Boutique's Panty of The Month Club

2131 N Damen Ave, between Charleston and Shakespeare; Bucktown; 773.235.1234

Just send G your girl's size, and they'll select her a year's worth of erotic undergarments, either from two specific brands (Hanky Panky and Cosabella) or a broader "grab bag"; either way, you'll enjoy the illicit thrill of knowing women are also thinking about getting your girlfriend near-naked.
