Happy February dear readers! If you’re feeling the chill and darkness of winter wrapping itself around you, remember that there is a warm ember of romance just around the corner – Valentine’s Day!

While many lament being locked indoors during the cold new year months, why not use the time and opportunity to plan an extra-special sexy Valentine’s? Here are a few products and ideas to get your started (hint – many of these will work to spice up a night with your partner, or are a perfect treat for the person flying solo). And kiddies, these ideas are only for adults (18 and over please).

Spicy Cards

If you’re looking to share a romantic sentiment that’s a little spicier than what Hallmark can provide, check out the Valentine’s Day card designed by one of our favorite artists, Alice Mary De Haven (Lady Kassie). ($2.95 - $3.55)

Luxury toy for the Luxuriant Lover

This Valentine’s Day, treat her to a true luxury toy. Jimmyjane is a lifestyle brand that focuses on class, beauty, design, and innovation.

Play Dress-Up

When do polka dots become sexy? When you’re wearing polka dot print chiffon lingerie made by Mimi Holliday. The Polka Petrus bra and panties are both adorable and alluring, and with the beautiful organza bows, the get-up will make you the most perfect Valentine’s gift ever. Available at Coco de Mer. (Bra, $115; briefs, $85; thong, $90.)

For the Bibliophile

If your lover is an erotica-lover, get him or her one of the incredibly sexy erotic ebooks available at Adultebookshop.com. Starting at $2.65, these ebooks can be downloaded and enjoyed with privacy on the computer, iphone or ipod touch. (Or, if you really want to splurge, pair the ebook up with an ebook reader, $265 and up.) There is a wonderful variety of erotica available for purchase, including work by one of our favorite writers, Terri Pray. And this is a great gift to enjoy alone, or shared as a sexy bedtime story for two.

Chocolate and Flowers

Chocolate and flowers are said to be the two necessary ingredients for any successful Valentine’s Day. Add a little sexy to the sweet with chocolate body paint and some flirt to the floral with Tasty Pasties ($4.99 and $3.99 at EdenFantasys).

Whatever your price range, we hope these ideas show you that you can create your own unique and very romantic Valentine’s evening. Whatever you do, we hope you take time to celebrate the intimacy in your life. Happy Valentine’s!
