Five Ideas to Spice up Your Valentine’s Day (or Any Day!)

Spice up ideas

From massages to sexy photoshoots, we know you and your partner will love any of these romantic activities

In case it slipped your mind, this Sunday is Valentine’s Day! KCM has already put together a fantastic gift guide for you last minute shoppers, but we thought we’d also offer a list of some of the best products for you and your partner to explore while in the bedroom. And of course these aren’t just for Valentine’s Day — they’re great for any day you’re feeling a little extra romantic… or frisky!

Spice it up with some new lingerie

Nothing signals to your partner “I’m feeling a little spicy” better than traipsing into the bedroom in some sexy new underwear. We’re loving the options from Cosabella. They offer a variety of beautiful lingerie, camisoles and sleepwear for women of every size. Their styles range from modest to va va voom, depending on what your comfort level is. We recommend the Pret A Porter Bodysuit or the Dolce Extended Babydoll in mulberry. Slip into one of these before bedtime, and we’re sure your partner will get the message! 

Feel your best with the perfect vaginal lotion

We think that women at EVERY age should feel sexy, and the best place to start is by feeling good. If you have just started menopause, are in the thick of it, or you’ve been postmenopausal for years, we can’t recommend Kindra and their estrogen-free peri/menopause essentials enough. Like the name implies, their Daily Vaginal Lotion is intended for everyday use — not just during sex — so you can avoid that uncomfortable dryness that might impede your ability to “get in the mood.” When you and your partner are ready (or if you’re going solo!) you can use Kindra on its own, or pair with a silicone based lubricant.  

Wind down with some bath essentials

Is there anything more romantic than having someone wash your hair? According to Meryl Streep in Out of Africa, the answer is “no”. Since most of us don’t have access to an idyllic river in which to bathe, the bathtub will have to do. First, we suggest picking up this swivel bath tray, which has enough room to fit two wine glasses and a scented candle. We recommend Maude’s Burn No. 1, because guess what? Once melted, it doubles as a massage oil! Then just pop in a Romance Hemp Bath Bomb, grab the perfect shampoo (we can’t resist the smell of this OGX Argan Oil of Morocco Shampoo) and you’ll feel like Meryl Streep — or Robert Redford — in no time!  

Release your inner masseuse with a couple’s massage

There’s something undeniably intimate about giving someone a massage. Whether you’re a master masseuse or you’ve never given a massage in your life, we know your partner will appreciate the effort. We recommend picking up a multipurpose body and massage oil, like Maude Oil No. 0. One reviewer from last month says, “My boyfriend and I absolutely LOVE this oil. We use it for massages, and it has really improved our foreplay. If you’re looking for a good massage oil, get this one!” Need we say more? 

Take a sexy photoshoot (or just relive some memories!) 

You’ll never be younger than you are right now… so seize the day and take some saucy photos! If you’re worried about anything ending up on the cloud, there are plenty of old-school options for personal photos. We suggest the Fujifilm Instax 11 Instant Camera, which works just like an old polaroid. Take some solo pics and gift them to your partner, or try taking them together!   

If an adult photoshoot isn’t really your thing, then why not take a trip down memory lane? Snapfish can help you easily compile your favorite old photos into a professional looking personalized photo book send straight to your door. This gift is sure to pull at your partner’s heartstrings, and will get you both excited to make new memories together.
