So you’ve finished all your paperwork, the dishes have been cleaned the car has been washed, the kids have been taken to a sleepover and it is just the two of you for the night; what next right? Obviously a romantic evening for two! When you become parents, it can be hard to get quality time together with your partner so rare moments like these should be treasured. In fact, why not make an entire evening of it? Here are a few suggestions to get you started.
- Scented Candles
Scented candles is a perfect way to set the mood and makes a great start to a romantic evening. Whether it is accompanied with a nice warm bath or one of your favourite blockbusters, you can’t go wrong with their warm ambience. Curl up in front of your fireplace and enjoy the sights and scents. Try to make sure that you don’t get a scent that is too overpowering, as it can tickle your nose and make sure that you both agree on the scent beforehand. If you are not quite as fond of the chosen scent as your partner is, it might put you off! Communication is key.
- Kinky Dice
Fancy something a little more adventurous? These kinky dice are a great way of getting both partners going. They can be as extreme or as mild as you like, in fact in some ways starting off slow is a great way to increase the tension as you nervously make your next roll. Throw in a few items of food, such as strawberries, ice cream or marshmallows, and you could start getting really risqué.
- Chocolate Body Paint
While a little bit on the messy side, this is a great way to have your cake and eat it, in bed! Chocolate body paint is specially designed to be both creative and delicious and can be used anywhere and everywhere (except maybe in the eyes) so go nuts! Just remember to put plastic sheeting down or at least a towel in order to try and minimise mess!
- Sexy Nurse/Hunky Policeman
While you might be having a heart attack or you’re in trouble with the feds, spice up your romantic evening with the help of a sexy outfit or two. Available for both the boys and the girls, in various stages of undress, act out your fantasies with the help of Nurse Joy and Officer Jeremy. Of course if sexy nurses and sexy policeman aren’t your thing, there are a whole host of different outfits to choose from, including a few slightly unorthodox ones thrown in there. It is all in the spirit of romance!
- Romantic Massage
After a long stressful day at work or sorting the kids out, sometimes your joints and muscles can feel like they’re on fire. You’re tired, you’re annoyed and you’re not really in the mood. But then you lie down, you listen to some calming music and your partner gives you an absolutely gorgeous massage that helps to work away at all your aches and pains. Perhaps throw some flickering candles into the mix and a warm beverage or a nice glass of your favourite liquor and you’re feeling a lot better now. Sounds great doesn’t it?
Obviously many of these are meant to be just a little bit of fun but if they help set the mood for your romantic evening in with your other half then they have certainly been a success. Just make sure you leave enough time to clean up afterwards as chocolate body paint can get quite messy and it’s a little embarrassing to be finding it in your hair the morning after as you travel to work!
