We got you!
Forget overnight shipping – give them something intimate instead

9 Romantic Gifts that Don’t Cost a Thing
A Sensual Massage
Massages are wonderful gifts! They reduce stress, increase intimacy, and show affection. Plus, massage helps you both shift from the go-go-go of your day to feeling relaxed and safe. In #sexgeek terms, massage activates your parasympathetic nervous system, the same one responsible for experiencing orgasm.
In many relationship, massages are also one-sided. Meaning one partner is typically giving while another receives. Flipping that sex script, is a great way to show your love and appreciation.

Indulge in their body
Devote an afternoon or evening to exploring what (else) drives your honey wild. Using your hands, mouth, and a variety of toys, explore them head to toe.
Let them watch you
Mutual masturbation is super hot and intimate AF. This takes it one step further. Instead of self-pleasuring together, let them watch just you. If you want to get creative, you can time it so they “accidentally” walk in on you.
Try something they really want
Ask them to give you a list of five things they want to try in bed. Read through it and choose one or two that you’re comfortable with – either it’s something you want to try too or you aren’t against trying! Gather any supplies you. might need and then have fun!
Sext them something outside your comfort zone
Usually keep it PG? Bump that to PG-13. Avoid photos? Send one with your head outside the frame. Don’t usually sext at all? Try something simple like, “I can’t wait to see you later tonight. *winky face*”

Explore your body in-depth
Great communication has three major parts: knowing what you want, asking for it, and listening. Take the time to explore your body – ask what else feels good? – and then share that with your honey.
Not sure where to start? This book expertly guides you through the process, making it easier and more fun.
Talk about your sexual desires
When it comes to sex, your mouth is good for so many things. The most important one? Communication! Letting them know what you want and how you want it is intimate and exciting. And, there are many ways to make having this conversation easier.

Be a voyeur
The opposite of #4, you watch them. Not only will you learn how much pressure they like and how fast to stroke right before orgasm, watching is also really hot and intimate.
A sexy striptease
We love this practical and sexy twist that one of our clients shared:
“We had date night this past Saturday. When we came home, we still had to get the little one to bed. So, I went up to change into comfy clothes. While I was up there, I did a quick iphone video of myself slowly undressing (in the mirror). Came back downstairs in my cozies and texted him the video! Was free, spur of the moment, and his jaw was on the ground when he watched it (over and over again!). It made for an excellent lead up to our bedtime 😉
Love really doesn’t have to cost a thing
With a bit of creativity and thoughtfulness, you can give your beau(s) a romantic gift they’ll remember for years to come.
