A Valentine’s Day gift exchange should stay simple, romantic, and elegant. Chocolate and flowers are the standard, of course, but you’ll score bonus points with your partner by going above and beyond the call of duty. We’ve collected five sweet and sexy “for her” gift ideas to inspire you.
Philosophy, purveyors of chic and aromatic lotions, perfumes and bath products, have put together this sweet pink gift set just in time for February. The Love Sweet Love set includes shampoo/bath and shower gel, spray fragrance, and body butter, in a delicate floral scent subtle enough to entice you closer.
Set the stage for a night (or several nights (or a few days)) of passion with a stunning gift tin packed full of Kama Sutra favorites. Slippery smooth warming oil, shimmering edible Honeydust (with a tantalizing feather applicator), and cool, tingling Pleasure Balm create a symphony of sensations sure to keep you both entertained for hours.
Unsure of your lady’s preferred lingerie style? Treat her to ten or more hand-picked pieces of artisan undies from California lingerie gurus Undrest. Soft, feminine, ethically produced, and absolutely luxe, this grab bag will make her feel like a princess. An intimate gift that’s several ssteps up from a mass-produced bra and panty set.
This year we’re all about love letters. If your gift-giving style leans more towards the sweet than the sexy, then this necklace is for you. A charming sterling silver envelope locket holds a hidden “letter,” personalized with the names of you and your sweetheart. Buy it on Etsy and support an independent seller.
An exciting kit for an adventurous couple: seductive, glamorous and lots of fun. This “little black box” contains a plush feather Pom Pom tickler, a 25g jar of edible silver body dust, and best of all, a set of luxurious, feather-lined wrist cuffs. Take turns teasing each other for a very happy Valentine’s Day.
