1. Sexy Challenges
Sexy Challenges are exciting scenarios for couples to experience new, creative, and fun ways to rekindle and enhance their passion. Each challenge explains what you as a couple will need and offers suggestions of places to experience the challenge. They are available on Apple Books, Kindle, or Nook. You could even consider picking up a new reading tablet and loading it up with some sexy challenges to really light your partner's fire. The Sexy Challenge books are highly rated on Apple Books, making it easy to find new ways to connect and play together.
2. Intimate Adventures
Would you rather not give such a hot and sexy gift to your partner? Then consider Intimate Adventures: Sacred Ceremonies for Couples. These ceremonies and rituals can help you transform your relationship and your life. They help you learn how to bring spirituality into your relationships, whether or not you consider yourselves religious or spiritual. Some will bring the spiritual into your physical relationship while others bring it into your emotional intimacy. Connecting to your shared soul and spirit can make a massive difference in your lives. These exercises, available on Apple Books, help you and your partner continually grow and expand as individuals and as a couple. They are also available on Kindle and Nook.
3. Honoring Your Partner
There are numerous organizations where you can make a charitable donation in honor of your partner. This is a highly unique and heartwarming gift idea. For instance, you can support:
- Impoverished families outside of the U.S. through organizations like Heifer International, which allows you to gift animals like a flock of chicks, a pig, or a sheep to help them build a sustainable livelihood.
- Endangered species conservation through the World Wildlife Fund, where you can symbolically adopt and protect animals around the world like wolves, dolphins, or polar bears.
- Local community causes by donating directly to a local shelter or food bank and creating a custom "honor card" to present to your partner.
Once you make the donation, you'll receive a card or a small token to give to the person you are honoring, making it a beautiful physical reminder of a gift that does real good in the world.
4. Sexy Surprise
If you and your partner enjoy sensual additions to your intimate play, consider purchasing a new adult toy as a holiday gift. You can wrap it in special paper and make plans to share it late one night when you both have time to connect. If you don't have kids in the house, you could even sneak one into your partner's stocking. Lingerie works well too, whether it is for you to wear or for your partner, and it makes the perfect addition to a romantic getaway.
5. A Massage
The holidays can be quite hectic. Gifting your partner with a massage, either from you or from a professional therapist, is a loving and intimate gift. It is one of the best ways to show your partner you care during the stressful holiday season. While giving the massage yourself is highly personal, booking a professional therapeutic treatment is a wonderful treat as well. You could even offer a personal backrub after the hustle and bustle of the holidays is over in addition to the professional session. Your partner will certainly be grateful for the relaxation.
6. Romantic Get Away
This gift idea can be sexy, intimate, and honoring all in one. You can book reservations for a romantic retreat or a destination that both of you would love to visit. The quality time alone can be spent in a variety of ways. You can easily make it playful by packing lingerie or a sexy challenge on your reading device. You can make it intimate by planning a candlelit dinner, taking a sunset walk, or sitting by a crackling fire. If you are looking for other ways to reconnect, discover how to keep the spark alive in your relationship. The entire experience honors both you and your partner, giving you both the space to reconnect away from daily distractions.
