Love is in the air this month, and if you’re looking to spice things up a bit you’ll love these ‘Fifty Shades’-inspired ideas on how to improve your Valentine’s Day.
1. Treat yourself to a pair of luxurious matching underwear that’s bound to up those confidence levels. If you’re feeling brave, there’s nothing to stop you rocking suspenders and shiny leather, but for something less daring, we’d suggest subtle lace in a gorgeous colour. You can’t go wrong with this stunning burgundy set from La Senza, from R800 for both.
2. Experiment with a few toys… the cutesy ones. Whips and chains may be a bit much, but don’t be afraid to indulge in a tasty treat of chocolate flavoured body paint or candy underwear. For a round of ‘good cop, bad cop’, fluffy handcuffs are a must. Get these classic black cuffs online at passionfruit.co.za for R227.94
3. Ditch store-bought gifts and do something special for each other instead. Now’s the time to request that full-body massage or midnight foot rub.
