Read on to discover my 12 festive romance tips for couples, which you can either sprinkle throughout your holidays to add a dash of sensuality whenever needed, or use as a guide to create your very own ’12 Days of Festive Romance’:

Treat Yourselves To A Sexy Advent Calendar

A great way to kick-start the sexiness this Christmas is by treating yourselves to a sexy advent calendar. These calendars are thoughtfully curated to include everything you need to enjoy the most erotic countdown to Christmas you’ve ever experienced, gifting you with a new stimulating sex toy, kinky bondage accessory or other intimate romance essential every day throughout advent. Imagine how excited you’ll be to open the doors on these advent calendars every single day (or night)!

There are various sex toy advent calendars available, mainly from Lovehoney and Bondara. I have reviewed one from each of these recommended sex toy stores this year, which you can find here:

Enjoy an Intimate Candlelit Dinner Together

There’s something so traditionally romantic about booking a dinner date together at a fancy restaurant. The planning, the excitement as you anticipate the night out together, the ritual of getting yourselves dressed up in your finest, feeling amazing and spending quality time together with the one you love. I absolutely love every part, and it relaxes me perfectly ready for a sensational night of intimacy later on…

Relive those early courtship days by planning a dinner date together, somewhere suitably cosy and romantic. You’ll be surprised how much you enjoy having a night out to look forward to, as well as getting glammed up for yourself and your partner and feeling the honeymoon-phase excitement returning. The perfect start to a night of the hottest sex ever once you return home.

Romantic Movie Marathon

Why not lock the doors, shut the curtains and enjoy a romantic Christmas movie marathon together? Snuggle up together on the sofa with warm blankets, hot chocolate, a few snacks and some holidays films lined up. Set your phones aside and properly switch-off from the world outside. Make the most of this valuable time together to be fully present in the moment, with your partner, enjoying the peace and intimacy. As you both fully relax together with the movies on in the background, you’ll be surprised how soon those snuggles turn into something a little sexier.

Plan A Hot Date

A date together out of the house can make sure you’re both aligned when it comes to maximising the romance this holiday season. Whenever your Christmas schedule allows, make sure you book in some precious time together doing something fun. It could be a romantic walk in the woods, baking Christmas treats together, going to see a new release at the cinema, ice skating together… anything which is about the two of you reconnecting and readying yourselves for a more intimate connection later on, in the boudoir.

Play Sexy Adult Games Together

Playing a sexy adult game together can be a great way to reconnect as well as reveal hot facts about your partner you never knew. Whether you struggle with creative role play ideas or getting into the mood for foreplay, these games are the perfect solution. Ditch the Scrabble & Cluedo this Christmas in favour of an intimacy-enhancing game such as the internationally popular Monogamy Board Game, or the brilliant Lovehoney Oh! Fantastic Foreplay Board Game (available from lovehoney.com / lovehoney.co.uk).

There is also a plethora of other sexy board games, card games and foreplay dice available at great sex shops such as lovehoney.com / lovehoney.co.uk, Bondara and SheVibe.

Seduce Them with an Aphrodisiac Feast

Feeding each other tasty morsels is a classic romantic seduction tip. Use this to sex up your Christmas time by preparing a festive feast of aphrodisiac options as an intimate winter picnic in your lounge or bedroom. Lay out a soft blanket, light some evocative candles, and prepare to indulge in a seasonal spread which will undoubtedly whet your appetites for more.

Go For a Romantic ‘Christmas Lights’ Walk

Getting out of the house together into the crisp winter air will invigorate your senses and ready you both for a delicious ‘warm up’ session once your back home afterwards. It’s also incredibly romantic to take a long stroll together, whether in the daytime or the tranquil twilight hours, admiring others’ outdoor Christmas decorations and feeling starry-eyed together from the seasonal glow inside the houses.

Create an Erotic Treasure Hunt For Your Partner

The gifting season is the perfect opportunity to create an erotic treasure hunt for your partner to enjoy – and for you both to benefit from once the gifts are revealed. Write clues on post-its around the house, each leading to the hiding place of the next surprise sexy gift.

The gifts can be bedroom treats (you could use the items from your sex toy advent calendar) such as a bullet vibrator, cock ring or blindfold – but you don’t have to spend money in order to sex up this Christmas couple’s activity. The gift could be your favourite item of lingerie to wear as a tease, or stirring love notes to help ramp up the passionate mood.

Tell Them How You Feel – with Love Letter Gifts

Speaking of love notes, love letters are the ideal gift to tell your partner exactly how you feel about them – or reveal that long-hidden fantasy which you’re finally ready to share. Love letters cost nothing but your time and a little bit of creativity putting your emotions, hopes and dirty dreams into words for your partner to enjoy.

Don’t worry if you don’t count ‘erotic writing’ amongst your talents; your partner is sure to appreciate any effort you make and will be moved by the time and effort you put into gifting them this token of your love, attraction & affection. You might choose to exchange the letters on Christmas morning, creating a beautiful shared moment which will be special for you both through the years to come.

Make Your Own Sexy Christmas Crackers

Did you know that you can purchase ‘make your own Christmas crackers’ sets? These are affordable kits, available on Etsy amongst other places, which contain everything you need to put together traditional Christmas crackers – apart from the gift. You supply this part yourself, which means the gift can be as hot as you can imagine… as long as it will fit into the cracker, or course.

I mention Etsy as that’s where I go to buy our family’s DIY Christmas crackers each year. Just search “DIY crackers” and it will bring up various options, and you can often select the amount you’d like in the kit and sometimes you can even personalise the outer with each other’s names.

Some ideas for the contents you supply yourself as the erotic gift include: bullet vibrators, a vibrating love ring, a lacy G-string, a small bottle of erotic massage oil, a tiny feather tickler, foreplay dice…

DIY Sexy Surprise Baubles On The Tree

Like the DIY Sexy Christmas Crackers idea above, you could also create Sexy Surprise Baubles for your Christmas tree. You can purchase fillable baubles from various craft stores (Etsy, The Works, The Range, Hobbycraft and Amazon to name a few).

These fillable baubles are usually clear, so I’d advise wrapping your sex toy, lingerie or other erotic gift in festive tissue paper before placing into the bauble for your adults-only Christmas tree. You can find ready-made sexy baubles at Bondara, where there’s a vibrator and lingerie option to adorn your tree and tantalise over the Christmas break.

However you choose to bauble-bling your tree, they will make a sensational shared alternative to the traditional ‘Christmas tree chocolates’ usually hung all over the tree to devour on Christmas Day!

Gift Each Other Nicely Naughty Gifts

I think we can all agree that one of the main highlights of Christmas is, of course, the gifts. Giving each other a memorable gift which will stoke the fires of both love and passion is the goal when it comes to sexing up your couple’s Christmas. Take time to research and plan, and present your partner with some nicely naughty gifts to enjoy by themselves, or shared with you, over the holiday season.
