me by Bendon You Glow Garter Belt

It’s kinda hilarious that you add MORE material to make your underwear sexier but hey, why not. As I mentioned earlier in our Guide to going out for Valentine’s Day, just having a matching set (or even just the same color bra and undies) is a massive feat. Step up your flirtation (and your confidence level!) with Bendon’s sexy ensemble – and don’t forget the garter belt for something a little whimsical.

Cast iron fondue set

Forget the adage that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach – the way to a woman’s is through cheese. Treat yourself and whoever you are to some carbs and cheese, then substitute chocolate and strawberries for dessert. And don’t worry if you don’t skip all the chocolate sauce… we’re sure there are other uses too!

Villa Maria Pinot Noir

Romantic nights need good wine – look no further than Villa Maria’s magnificent single-vineyard Pinot Noir. Don’t let the fact that it’s hotter than Hades (the HUMIDITY AM I RIGHT) put you off red wine – put it in the fridge for about half an hour to cool slightly – the optimal serving temperature of this delicious Marlborough drop is 15 degrees.

We’re not really strangers

We’re Not Really Strangers is a purpose-driven card game and movement aimed at strengthening meaningful connections. Three carefully crafted levels of questions and wildcards allow you to deepen your existing relationships and create new ones. Level 1 (Perception) explores how others see us on the surface and allows us to question our assumptions about each other. Level 2 (Connection) digs deeper and asks seldom asked questions. And finally level 3 (Reflection) invites us to reflect on what we have learned about each other and ourselves. Be ready for ALL the sensations.

You can also get friendship editions, as well as romance decks, race and privilege expansion packs, family edition and more.
