Romantic Gondola Rides

Many Americans have dreamed about visiting Venice and taking a ride in its most iconic mode of transportation, the gondola. But a lot of us are too busy to drop everything and go abroad; fortunately, there are gondoliers in many stateside cities who specialize in bringing a little Venetian romance and relaxation into your life. 

We were asked to share this article with you and we are pleased to do so, but we also wanted to share a couple of places that were not mentioned.  Here they are:

Your partners Birthday take it seriously.

As we age we don't want to celebrate another year of getting older. However, there is that little kid in all of us that enjoys being the center of attention and getting things to make us feel special. You can do this for your partner, even if you don't have much cash. Things you can do without much money is number one throw them a party. Invite all their family and friends and just let them enjoy the company of the people that mean the most to them. You can also make their favorite dinner, or breakfast to help them see how special you think they are. The important thing here is to go out of your way a little to show your love. Flowers fade, presents get old but the memories you can build in this manner last a lifetime. Take this from me never let an opportunity pass to celebrate your love for one another. You never know when it could be the last time to celebrate or when it just might brighten your partners life up a little.

Birthday Sex Greeting - (Click her to go to The Smitten Kitten Shop)

Birthdays are a great time to get your partner and yourself into something new. Go out on a limb and get them something a little extra this birthday. Besides what ever you are planning to get them. Pick up something that will help spice up your relationship. Weather it be a book on improving your sex life, a sex toy or a relationship improving book. When you wrap up your present be sure to put a note inside that says "As good as we are, we can always get better". Now make sure you are alone when presenting this present, it's not the type of thing to give during the family get together.

An Idea I really like it to buy them a gift certificate to a store that sells sex toys and other merchandise. The only stipulation is that whatever they purchase has to be sent addressed to you. This alloys the person to pick out things alone that they might feel a little embarrassed to do right in front of you. It will also excite you wondering what they will pick out! Double Bonus!

Get the Size Right

Get the Size Right

Gentlemen, if you are going to buy your sweetheart a present (be it for Christmas, a birthday, or an anniversary), do a little research first. Do a little snooping to save yourself a lot of hassle. Next time your partner is out of the house go through her garments and write down all the sizes of her clothing. Make sure you make a detailed list. Don't just look at one pair of her panties and think that is good for no matter where you go. If she wears one size from Victoria's Secret, she might wear a different size from Target. (It is not just the store, but the various collections within each store make a difference, also!) Not only are the sizes important, the brands are just as important. If your honey likes a certain brand of jeans, it is usually because she likes the way they fit her. Okay, now you have your list of sizes and brands. Next, you need to observe this fine specimen you call your lover. Watch her and see what clothes she puts on when you go out somewhere special and what she wears when the two of you are lounging around the house. Use these preferences to make the final decisions on the clothes you buy her, and tailor these presents to the occasion - like Valentine's Day might be something a little fancier where as Christmas gifts might be a little more low-keyed in your household. However you look at it, when your special lady pulls out her gift she will be most appreciative if she sees the size is correct. She will be very thankful you did your research. She doesn't want to spend her time running all over the place returning items. It also helps you avoid that situation when you might buy something too big, and she asks, "Do you think I'm fat?" If your partner is dieting or pregnant, you might want to go for something other than clothes as the sizes will be off depending on which way she is going.

Intimates such as bra's, panties or lingerie are a must for the right sizing as these are the closest thing to your partner and most ladies are very particular on these items. Therefore, make sure you find the right brand. Don't try something cheaper. It will most likely stay in the drawer and never get worn. If buying clothes for you partner makes you jittery, don't worry. Even if you mess it up, you can always fix it later with jewelry or tickets to a show.
