Planning a Romantic Weekend Getaway

Whether you want to put some zip back into your sex life, rekindle the old flames of passion or just spend some snuggly time together, a romantic weekend together is a deliciously decadent treat.

We’ve put together some hot tips for planning and making the most of your ideal romantic break away, including some ideas for how to while away the hours!

 

Making the Most of Home

If your budget won’t run to a weekend away don't worry, recreate a weekend away in the comfort of your own home. Pack the kids off to Grannies, agree to turn off your mobiles and tell everyone you’re out of bounds for 48 hours. Make the bed with clean sheets and stock up the fridge with food so you don’t need to venture out.

Setting the Scene

Once you've decided where and when, setting the scene is next on the agenda.

Candles

Start by buying a scented massage candles, such as Scarlet's massage candes. Candlelight is very atmospheric and perfect for creating a romantic setting. It is also the most flattering light to be undressing in as its golden glow erases imperfections.  The added bonus of this candle is that once you snuff it out it can be drizzled on your lover and used to give them a delicious warming massage.

Music

There’s probably an album or a song that is special to you both, and reminiscent of good times. Music is extremely powerful at inducing a feeling, so plan ahead and arrange a section of music

 

Sensual Goodies

So now the scent and lighting are sorted move on to the added extras. Take a Duckie along for bathtime fun during long soaks together. A selection of massage oils, and pleasure balms are also handy for when you get out. Both are edilble, so once you've carefully rubbed it in you can lick it all off again!

The Weekender Kit from Kama Sutra is a travel sized set of treats for you and your lover, containing Oil of love, pleasure balm and other goodies to enhance your love play.

The Entertainment Menu

Hopefully you’ll be too busy to be bored but to get you in the mood or just for something to help change direction take along some entertainment for your and your partner. The Kama Sutra Lover’s Game is ideal for couples wanting to get to know each other better, or rediscover each other. The game is designed to develop a deeper understanding of what you and your lover like, and will expand your sensory awareness through activities using sight, hearing, taste, small and touch.

Try to introduce something different to your weekend which you wouldn’t normally do. Read some erotic stories to each other and try out something you read. This is a brilliant way to find out what your partner likes (or doesn’t). You might suddenly discover that you both share the same sexual fantasy but had been too shy or embarrassed to bring it up.

  

Look the Part...

Look the part for seduction. Flannelet PJs might be your normal attire but remember we’re aiming for passion here!  Take him by surprise with a killer outfit which not only makes you look the part, but feel the part too. For sheer romance try the  Playful Silk Cami Set or Hollywood Glamour from the Sally Jones range.. They look and feel sexy but are also very flattering – ideal if you prefer some cover.

 

The Food of Love...

Finally don’t forget the essentials of food and drink. Champagne is a must

Aphrodisiacs are food and drinks purported to raise the libido and increase your sexual desire. The most well known are champagne, oysters, asparagus, honey, bananas, peppers, figs and chocolate. Whether they actually work or not is debatable but you can’t deny the combination of champagne and chocolate is definitely going to cheer you up if nothing else!

Finally...

So there you have it – the perfect dirty weekend planned to perfection. All that remains is to invite that someone special along.

Enjoy!
