Valentine's For All Tastes ...

What's your flavour?

Cupid's Pick ...
Purpose – To inspire new romance, or create an opportunity for romance.
Reason - You know you're attracted to them but you're nervous and have never managed to find the right moment to ask for that date, or to let your feelings be known. Well now you do, it’s Valentine's Day.
Props – The first move to get your sentiments noticed requires finesse. Try to avoid anything to intensely romantic at this stage, a bunch of flowers, a card or soft toy would be appropriate.

The Serious Move ...
Purpose – To take the relationship to the ‘next level’.
Reason - You've been seeing someone, dating for a while and now it's time to do some sweeping off the feet and set yourself up in the high romance stakes.
Props - To take your relationship to the next level requires knowing your partner well and being able to judge what will tickle their fancy in the romance department. An oldie but a goodie is dinner in or out, silk rose petals, candles, romantic music and a romantic gift. To get to know your partner in new, exploratory ways a couples game can be a gentle starting point.

Revitalising Romance ...
Purpose – To remember you are two people who love each other passionately.
Reason - To remind each other of the love you have in your relationship, and to rekindle the spark of romance that can so easily be dampened by day to day life, children, housework and jobs.
Props - To revitalise your romance you can't go past; time alone, a bottle of whatever you both enjoy most, an awesome meal, relaxing music and a sensual massage oil or body sauce.

Sizzling Hot and Sexy ...
Purpose – To get things sizzling between the sheets.
Reason - This is Valentine's Day to inspire passion and sensuality in your love-life. Things have been a bit monotonous in the bedroom and it's time to kick-start your passion and get things heated up.
Props - To make the most of this type of V Day you might want to stock up on some sexy accessories both to wear and to play with. A game for couples can be a great way to begin to explore new desires. If your tastes lend to the more playful there are many new ways of introducing new kinds of sex-play into the relationship.Visit your Romance specialists

Valentine's Day Gifts for Men

What do you give a man on Valentine's Day?

Many men feel that being given flowers makes them somehow become more feminine and aren't always going to react favourably to being de-masculinised.

A testosterone filled alternative is a bunch of spanners, or screwdrivers with cookies stuck on the top. You can decorate around them with some attractive fern or coloured leaves and finish off with some manly coloured tissue paper, like you would a bunch of flowers.

What do you give a woman on Valentine's Day to show you really love her?
