Happy February dear readers! If you’re feeling the chill and darkness of winter wrapping itself around you, remember that there is a warm ember of romance just around the corner – Valentine’s Day! While many lament being locked indoors during the cold new year months, why not use the time and opportunity to plan an extra-special sexy Valentine’s? Here are a few products and ideas to get your started (hint – many of these will work to spice up a night with your partner, or are a perfect treat for the person flying solo).
Spicy Cards
If you’re looking to share a romantic sentiment that’s a little spicier than what Hallmark can provide, check out the Valentine’s Day card designed by one of our favorite artists, Alice Mary De Haven (Lady Kassie). These cards are sure to add a little "naughty" to your night. ($2.95 - $3.55)
Luxury toy for the Luxuriant Lover
This Valentine’s Day, treat her to a true luxury toy. JimmyJane is a lifestyle brand that focuses on class, beauty, design, and innovation. The Waterproof Rechargeable Vibrating Massager (available in pink, perfect for Valentine’s Day) will make any woman feel like a princess. This toy is the first of its kind to be honored with the IDEA Award from BusinessWeek and the Industrial Designers Society of America – one of the world’s most prestigious product design awards.
“This new generation of our award winning FORM 6 vibrating massager is the most versatile product of its kind. Every surface is smooth and designed for sensation, so it can be used in any orientation. It’s fully submersible and bath-friendly, making it one of the only vibrating massagers in the world that is both rechargeable and truly waterproof.

If your lover is an erotica-lover, get him or her one of the incredibly sexy erotic ebooks available at Adultebookshop.com.

And this is a great gift to enjoy alone, or shared as a sexy bedtime story for two.
