1. Tom Ford All Over Body Spray

Studies have shown that scent can be a powerful seduction tool. So grab a bottle of this all-over body spray and see for yourself. Hints of lavender and vanilla combine with leather and bitter almond for what Tom Ford describes as “aromatic foreplay.”

2. Oh La La Cheri Galloon Lace Teddy

Oh La La Cheri makes fun and colorful lingerie that’s youthful, but not over-the-top. This bod ysu it features a cheeky bottom for sex appeal and the sheer lace is gorgeous. Wearers have reported pairing it with jeans and a jacket at dinner, before stripping down in the privacy of their bedroom.

3. Soft Leather Handcuffs

If you’re interested in experimenting with handcuffs, but nervous about metal, check out this soft leather pair. These pretty-in-pink cuffs are adjustable for a custom fit, and the soft furry lining keeps wrists and ankles comfy without unwanted scuffing, burns, or bruising. There’s also a connector chain, so you can kick up the kink a notch by linking the handcuffs together or threading them through a bedpost or pole.

4. St. Al Scented Candle

Sandalwood and ylang-ylang are two well-known aphrodisiacs. And candlelight can instantly turn a hotel room’s ambience from “business trip” to “let’s get busy.” So pick up a scented candle (or several) and let the odor and light work their romantic magic.

5. Rose Petals

Sure, you could buy a dozen fresh roses and rip the petals off of them. Or, you can order these beautiful imitation rose petals for the same effect (and none of the brown edges). Sprinkle them on the bed or in the bathtub, or make a rose petal trail to a bottle of Champagne on the balcony. Your sweetheart will never forget the romantic effort.

7. Luxome Plush Robe

Most hotel rooms provide robes for their guests, but there’s something decidedly unsexy about donning a communal robe. Instead, bring this soft and well-fitted robe. After all, you’ll need something to wear when you open the door for room service.
