Double The Fun

Team up with one of your favorite couple’s this Valentine’s Day and go half on a double date to remember. Sharing the love with good friends and your baby will only add to the excitement of the evening. Upgrade the evening by splurging on a shared limo to take you from place-to-place or bottle service and a booth at a sexy after hours lounge.

Have A Virtual Date Night To Remember

We can’t always share a zip code with the ones we love most on Valentine’s Day. So here is a sexy and intimate idea long distance lovers can’t resist. Schedule mutual bath time on both your calendars for the evening and let the Bluetooth Water-Resistant Speaker handle the rest. Immerse yourselves in a warm bath and sexy conversation without having to worry about your precious iPhone’s accidental drowning. iShower2 can be mounted anywhere, shares playlists and has a built in speakerphone. Aromatherapy candles not included, but highly recommended. (Wink!)

Be Models For The Night

There’s nothing like being the center of attention when you’re all dressed up in love, and you don’t have to be tying the knot to want someone to document your love on film. Enlist the services of a local photographer and have them capture the magic during your intimate evening for two. Posing together will create loads of laughs and memories to cherish along with the unforgettable keepsake photos.
