So she says she doesn’t care about
Valentine’s Day? Regardless, don’t show up
empty handed.
Well, well, gentlemen, it’s that time of year
where your choice in gift means everything.
Okay, maybe not everything. But nomatter
how much she claims not to care, you
should not, under any circumstances, go
halfheartedly into Valentine’s Day. It’s all or
nothing, you guys.
First and foremost: Avoid the flowers and
chocolates. You don’t want to be that guy.
You want to display some individuality. You
want to show her that you really know her.
And if you can do all of that and get her
something you can enjoy and indulge in
too? Well, that would be a homerun. This
day should be about the two of you—
together. So double your pleasure with
these Valentine’s Day gifts for her…that you’ll
love too.
1. Adult toy box. There are so many perks
about being an adult that to list them all
would be exhausting. But one such extra
special perk about being a grownup is a toy
box full of goodies that provide lots of
grownup fun. From vibrators to edible
lubricants to maybe some handcuffs and a
paddle for a spank or two, an adult toy box
for her means hours and hours of fun for
both of you. Let your imagination run wild
with all the accessories you can possibly
stuff into one box!
2. Dance class. Two left feet? Don’t sweat it.
If you can let yourself go enough to be silly,
slightly embarrassed and carefree, both you
and she can truly enjoy a dance class
together. Try something of the Latin
persuasion—like body-grinding Salsa—and
you’ll both be burning up inside if you’re
stumbling to get the steps right.
3. Cooking class for couples. You love to eat.
She loves to eat. It’s a shared pleasure! And
unless you’re a professional, everyone can
benefit from some culinary education. Find a
local class that offers lessons for two, and
get your hands dirty together. Then practice
your culinary skills at home; Preparing meals
and eating them together can be a very
sensual act. Tantalizing her tongue and lips
with deliciousness is practically foreplay.
When it comes time for dessert, that’s when
you can get really creative—and make it a
doubly happy ending (wink, wink).
4. Fantasy dress-up kit. If you and your gal
are no strangers to lingerie, then it might be
time to take it step further with a kit of
fantasies. What’s her fantasy? Perhaps you
and she have wanted to play doctor and
nurse, or French maid and big, bad,
demanding boss. I mean, we all have
dreamed up those scenarios at some point,
haven’t we? All this gift takes is a trip to a
costume store to pick up the essential
pieces that will make the dress-up kit for her
a winning gift of pure er*ticism.
5. A hotel room for the night. Nothing says
romance like getting away for the night.
New surroundings are a delight on all the
senses: the feel of the 500-thread count
sheets, the sounds of the city below (or the
absence of sound in the woods outside),
and the sight of excitement in her eyes
when she sees that you’ve done the room
up right for the special day. Go ahead and
cover the bed in rose petals—go full-cliché!
Making love on a bed of roses is so bucket
list-worthy.
6. Sexy ‘Truth or Dare’. An evening of dirty
games, if taken nice and slow, is a deliriously
wonderful way to get you both in the mood.
Without getting too explicit, because you
want to leave the really dirty stuff for after
the game, brainstorm a series of truths and
dares for you and your partner to answer
and act out. Between the verbal
communication and the naughty behavior,
the intimacy will be so intense that you’ll
have to do everything in your power not to
explode.
7. A love letter. Women like romance; It’s
simple math. If you really want to make her
swoon, then come clean about just how
much she means to you. In compiling a
letter of words, a CD of songs that remind
you of her, or a photo book that documents
your relationship, a “letter” of love, in any
form, will not only score you points, but will
touch her in ways you never knew possible.
It’s a great tangible record of your love that
you both can revisit over time. Go ahead,
express yourself: It’s good for the soul.
8. Massage kit. A massage at a spa? Great. A
massage in the comfort and privacy of your
own home? Homerun. This is definitely a gift
that she won’t forget very soon. With the
right oils—like this intense assortment—
candles for mood lighting, and the perfect
soundtrack, you won’t just be working on
her kinks and pain, but you’ll also be setting
yourself up for some serious, how do we
say, reciprocation of appreciation…I’m
talking about getting a massage of your
own. Get your mind out of the gutter!
9. Concert tickets. Music lovers, take heed:
Concert tickets are a thoughtful, romantic
Valentine’s Day gift! Take her to see her
favorite band—or any other performance
she’s had her eye on. It’ll be a moment to
share and remember, and that’s what
Valentine’s Day is about, after all.
