Accompanied by his girlfriend's sister, he went to a department store and bought a pair of white gloves. The sister purchased a pair of white panties for herself. 

During the wrapping of the items, the clerk inadvertently mixed up the packages. The clerk handed the young man the packaged panties and then handed the packaged gloves to the sister. 

On Christmas day, his girlfriend opened the gift, along with the following note: 

Dear Kathy, 

This is a little gift to show my love for you on Christmas day. I chose these because I noticed that you're not in the habit of wearing any when we go out in the evening. Had it not been for your sister, I would have chosen the long ones with the buttons, but she wears short ones that are easy to remove. They're a delicate shade, but not to worry because the female clerk showed me a pair that she'd been wearing for three weeks and they were hardly soiled. I had a young salesgirl try them on for me and she really looked smart. 

I wish I was there to put them on for you for the first time since no doubt other hands will come in contact with them before I get a chance to see you again. When you take them off, remember to blow into them before putting them away since they will naturally be a little damp from wearing. Also, be sure to keep them on when you clean them or otherwise they might shrink. 

Just think how many times I will kiss them in the coming year. I hope you like them and will wear them for me on New Year's. 

All my love, 

Anthony 

P.S. The latest style is to wear them folded down with a little fur showing.
