What to Pack to Make Your Couples Holiday Special

So you have a romantic holiday with your partner coming up—lucky you! Holidays together are a great way to rekindle the intimacy between you two, reconnect and get some much-needed relaxation. Here are some ideas for things to bring with you which will make your holiday feel extra special.

1. Lingerie

Wearing something sexier than your regular underwear is a great way to spice up your romantic holiday and get it off to a great start. Remember that lingerie is not just for women! More and more companies are making lingerie to suit all body shapes and gender expressions, so whatever you look like and however you like to dress, there will be something out there for you.

2. Sex toys

Go on, you know you want to! (Unless you don’t, which is totally fine!)

If you and your partner have been wanting to explore new possibilities when it comes to your sex life, your couple’s holiday is the perfect time to do that without distractions or time constraints. Again on the topic of including all body types, wetforher.com has some amazing choices (plus-size harness, anyone?).

3. Massage oil

A bottle of scented massage oil will feel like a real luxury on your holiday and will make you feel like you’re at a spa! You can, of course, use the massage oil in the bedroom, but don’t forget that massages don’t always have to be a sexual thing—sometimes it’s more relaxing to just get a massage. Choose the scent of your oil based on the principles of aromatherapy, such as:

• lavender, chamomile, bergamot, or sandalwood for relaxation;
• lemon, pine, basil, or grapefruit if you want to feel energized.

4. Your favorite snacks

When you go on holiday, particularly if it’s a romantic holiday as a couple, you don’t want to worry about having to cook. While you should definitely indulge in some nice meals out, remember to also pack your favorite snacks, so you have something to satisfy your hunger with zero effort, no matter what time it is. Choose non-perishables such as crisps or cookies and keep some on your nightstand—that way, you won’t even have to get out of bed if you get hungry while basking in the afterglow!

5. Bathtub trays

This one’s a must if the place where you’re going to be staying has a bathtub, especially one big enough to fit two people! A couple of bathtub trays will hold your wine or cocktail glasses, and this model looks particularly good as it will easily swivel out of the way if you want more space to play around in.

6. Something outdoorsy to use together

Finally, you should think about what would be fun for you both to do together outdoors. Whether it’s loading your bikes on a roof rack and bringing them with you, throwing a frisbee around, or kicking a ball, playing outside is not just for kids and will give you and your partner a rush of mood-boosting endorphins. All the better if the weather’s nice!
