Be a Valentine's Day Hero - by Cindy your SOL Girl

   

I love getting and giving gifts. Over 20 years of selling panties and Valentine's Day is still my favorite holiday. It's the perfect opportunity to give and receive an intimate gift like lingerie. I am part of Team SOL Girl and we love to help all the great guys coming in to shop for their sweetie. Some guys come armed with sizes. Others walk into SOL with a dazed expression. Either way, the awesome SOL Girl team is ready to help. Here is the inside scoop for shopping at SOL for your Valentine's Day gift.
 

First - Don't worry! You don’t have to know anything about lingerie! If she has shopped at SOL before, we have her sizes and styles on file (how easy is that!). If this is your first time shopping at SOL, no worries! The SOL Girl team will help you find just the right item quickly. No matter if you are new to SOL or a long time veteran, we will help pick out the perfect pretty thing and gift wrap it while you wait!

Second: Beers, Brats, and Bras. Yup. I did figure out that when we serve beer and brats guys really enjoy shopping for lingerie. This is our 10th year of our signature men's event and it is this  

Sunday, February 10 from 12-5pm. Bring a friend, or even bring your squeeze and make a date out of it!

 

Third: Valentine's Day is Thursday February 14. That's just the part you need to remember - so come in before then!

And ladies! Are you wondering what to get your guy? Did you know we are now selling Men's underwear? We call them Manties or Mangerie. Saxx is our new brand of stylish men's boxer briefs with a design focus on an ergonomic comfort pouch. Great for our guys and they are easy on the eyes. My husband loved them so much he switched out the whole drawer (no pun intended).

Speaking of my cute husband... What o' what will I be getting Todd if he already has these great undies? Fly fishing gear of course. We love fly fishing together. It's a super fun sport if you haven't tried it. We love Trout's Fly Fishing on 6th (www.troutsflyfishing.com). They are the SOL of fly fishing stores. Service and expertise is their mantra and they have a great selection of top of the line products. The guys are always up to date on the fishing report! Trout's is located just a few blocks away from us and they are offering 10% off to any customer who mentions SOL when they shop between Feb 11th and Feb 14th. 

Hugs and Happy Valentine's Day to all the lovers out there in SOL land!

My ideal date...just in time for Valentine's Day

My thoughts this time of year turn to big red hearts and romance and vases spilling over with red roses. I can't help it, there is just something about a box of chocolates and a sweet card that gets me to dreaming.

The girls in the store and I were talking about the perfect date...and, amazingly, we all had really different ideas about what would be the ideal romantic experience. (No wonder men look so confused - we certainly don't make it easy on them!)

My ideal date? Well, I'm a woman who likes lists and organization - so here it is, step by step.

Step One - Send me a cute note telling me that you're whisking me away. Give me some hints so I'll know what to pack! I need just the right romantic lingerie, bra and matching panty, and oh yeah, clothes.
Step Two - Surprise me with a fabulous dinner and a lovely place to stay. (With a hot tub, please!)
Step Three - Turn off your cellphone and take mine away from me, too.
Step Four - Look into my eyes and provide charming and witty conversation that's just about us. Not work. Not other people. Make me feel like we're the only two people in the world. 


That's not so difficult is it? Just four easy steps to win my heart. You know what? That's exactly the four steps Mr. Johnson took all those years ago when he asked me to be his bride. It must've worked!

Like I said, though, everyone's idea of a perfect date is different - and I want to know yours! Check in with us next week on Facebook, we'll be sharing more of the SOL girls' favorite romantic ideas and Valentines Days of the past. We'd love you to be a part of it.

Now, if you excuse me, I need to write a cute note to my husband, telling him I'm whisking him away.


Love, Cindy
