Each client has her own reason for wanting to pose for a boudoir session. And every now and then, I get a client who hires me and is doing the shoot purely for her own pleasure. She wants to have the photos for her own appreciation of who she is, right now, at this special point in her life-whatever that may be. I love shooting those sessions. But more often than not, my clients are looking to gift their photos to their beloved. These days you can get pretty creative with how you do it.  Here are some fun and unique boudoir gift ideas!

5 Creative Boudoir Gift Ideas

Photo Album

The fantastic thing about photo albums or photo books is that they no longer are boring, generic covers with the peel-back plastic coating. These days, photo albums are highly customizable and can be made for any occasion. 

You can add a favorite quote or song lyric, perhaps a meaningful poem, or even your wedding vows. You can even purchase smaller versions for the traveling business partner in your life. 

And let’s have some fun with giving your outfits a name or making it a dessert or cocktail menu. Some Sexy Strawberry Shortcake for your red ensemble, or maybe some Sex on the Beach for your neutral look.  

Give it to your love while wearing one of the outfits from the shoot and let him unwrap you!

Pocket Watch

I love the idea of a pocket watch for your beloved. While this is quite small for displaying a gift, pocket watches are very personal objects and have a perfect spot for displaying a personal photo.  Imagine your love opening his pocket watch, and thinking about you every time. 

Calendar

What a fun Christmas or New Years Gift! Use Shutterfly or another printing service to make an irresistibly sexy calendar for your partner. They will be so shocked and love to see how you curated the perfect images just for them.

Treasure Hunt

Having a jump drive of your photos is a great idea so you can print them when needed. Why not sneak in a little surprise here and there for your beloved.

Print off a few favorites and sneak them into places he’ll look.  Avid reader? Sneak it into the next chapter of his book or behind the first fold of the newspaper. Some of my other favorites are putting a photo in his briefcase/suitcase, above the car visor, in the gym bag, in a clothes drawer, and in his shaving kit. The possibilities are endless, and the surprise of wondering when he’ll find the next one is sexy.

Keepsake Box

Give them a private keepsake box that’s only for their eyes!  Matted silk prints give the photos that extra “umph” of quality. 

Keep a collection in a luxurious keepsake box that you love to display or can be pulled out on a whim.

Even better, have a few framed in a portfolio mat and set them out on their nightstand occasionally, for the reminder of how beautiful you are and how lucky they are to have you.  The two of you knowing what is inside the keepsake box will feel like a dirty little secret.
