Head out into the crisp night air and wander hand in hand to admire the lights. Return home with rosy cheeks and plans to warm each other up properly.

8. Create an Erotic Treasure Hunt

Write clues on sticky notes that lead to hidden surprises. Gifts could be a bullet vibrator, a blindfold, or a playful love note. If you have an advent calendar, use items from it as the prizes.
