Last Minute Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

So, I must confess and admit that I took the easy route for Valentine’s Day this year.
I bought Ben an Xbox game (Skyrim) that he’s been drooling over and gave it to him weeks ago. And I picked out one for myself too, as my part of the gift.
So essentially, we were done with Valentine’s shopping before it was even February. Not really the most romantic set up, but we’re both happy campers and when I want some alone time on twitter or pinterest, Ben is happy to ignore me for hours on end oblige.
But if we were doing the traditionally lovey/sexy/romantic route this year, these would be my top picks from EdenFantasys:
Lelo Flickering Touch Massage Candle – $23.99
This candle wax, made from natural soy, shea butter, and apricot oil melts into a massage oil for some serious TLC. It also has some pretty neat scent combinations, which are Black Pepper & Pomegranate, Vanilla & Creme de Cacao, and Snow Pear & Cedarwood.
Why I’d pick it: It’s the fun of playing with hot wax, without burning your jiggly bits or having wax permanently stuck to your good sheets.
Rose Petal Soap Flakes – $9.99
If you’re like me, you appreciate the little details of a gift, because they show the effort you put into planning it. If you’re at risk of ending up in the dog house by not having something figured out for V-Day, pairing this cute little heart shaped soap box with some scented candles for a luxurious soak in the tub just might save the day.
Why I’d pick it: A long, hot soak in the tub is one of those simple pleasures in life. And if you have kids, being in the bathroom alone is probably a gift in itself.
Love Card – $25-100
Okay, so maybe it sounds like a lame cop-out, but if you’re looking to buy something for your significant other from a website like EdenFantasys, your best bet is to get their imput. Buy the gift card and spend V-Day doing some internet shopping together. It’s a gift that keeps on giving!
Why I’d pick it: Unless you’re 120% sure you know your honey’s comfort level when it comes to sex, you risk the chance of striking out (or freaking them the hell out). Picking out stuff together is also great for some open communication about what’s going on in your sex life.
What’s on your wishlist for Valentine’s Day this year?

Margaret and Bert
January 31, 2012My MIL sent me this joke in an email yesterday, and I thought it was too cute not to share: Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home. Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife, [...]
Honey, have you seen where my alarm clock went?
January 27, 2012This is an 18+ post. While I was reading The Bloggess’ SEXIS column on EdenFantasys the other day, I stumbled across her piece on vaginal alarm clocks. Seriously. Although I have to admit, as soon as I read that The Bloggess said it looked like a turkey thermometer, my interest was piqued enough to click [...]
Stopping for a Sweet Treat: McDonald’s Smoothies
January 25, 2012This month has been pretty crazy, thanks to my weekly driver training. And with this Friday being my last day, when I have to re-take my driver’s test (included parallel parking the full-sized van), it’s been even more hectic around here this week. So when Ben and I got the chance to review some of [...]
Two Month Wait
January 23, 2012My medical records did not end up at the right place, for the second time in this three-month fiasco. After another round of phone tag, I have the feeling that the hospital’s copy center supervisor is either sick of hearing from me, or just pitied me. Either way, she (finally) decided to fax the paperwork [...]
A Domo Hat
January 20, 2012For some reason, my sister Chelly is pretty obsessed with a large-mouthed, fuzzy brown square. Also known as Domo. Domo means “Thank You” / “I’m Sorry” / “Excuse Me” / etc.* And while she’s not so great as a study buddy, she is my favorite model and hat-creation guinea pig. I love Domo’s bright red [...]
50
January 18, 2012Dear Mom: Tomorrow is a celebration in so many ways. You have made it up and over the hill, and came out on top. The old cliche says blood is thicker than water. You’ve taught me that it’s superglue. You have loved us – your kids – unconditionally, and have never been afraid to show [...]
Nothing
January 16, 2012I don’t have a post ready for today. Why? Because I got a phone call last week from my 14-year-old sister, begging me to help her study for her finals. Since, you know . . . she’s already close to failing as it is, and she’s not prepared for the tests. I sat and made [...]
Pillow Talk
January 13, 2012This is an 18+ post. The other day, Ben and I started window shopping for ideas to spend my EdenFantasys gift cards. One of the things that caught our attention was the line of Liberator shapes pillows, which help make exploring new angles more comfortable by supporting and cushioning your body. There are a couple [...]
