Think we’ve missed something? Let us know in the comments below.

Psst…guys. Ever wanted that little bit of help when you are ‘down there’ giving your women incredible pleasure with your tongue? Or wanted a sexy gift for your lover when you’re away?

Well then, you better meet the Sqweel. LoveHoney have been developing this adult sex toy for some time. It is essentially a series of rotating paddles (or ‘tongues’) designed to stimulate the feeling of oral sex. It has only just been released but is talking the sex toy industry by storm.

The manufacturers rate the Sqweel so highly, that if you don’t have an orgasm you get your money back. Sounds like a win-win to me! So if you are looking for a sexy, naughty gift for your girlfriend then look no further than the Sqweel.

The Sqweel is available to buy from LoveHoney.co.uk for around £35. Pictures copyright of LoveHoney.

Forget expensive jewellery and stunning lingerie. What women really want are the simply things that show you care.

According to a recent survey, British men are some of the least romantic in the world, choosing football and drinking over wooing. They are less likely to give compliments or small displays of affection, instead opting to drop a load of cash on expensive romantic gifts.

So if you’re on a budget, remember these top 10 romantic gestures you can do for practically nothing.

10 – Make her a compilation of her favourite music

9 – Send her a bouquet of flowers, or a box of chocolates at work

8 – Offer her a coat when she is cold

7 – Wake her up with breakfast in bed

6 – Send her a romantic text or email, or leave a loving note around the house

5 – Run her a relaxing bath after she has had a bad day at work

4 – Tell her that she is the most wonderful woman you have ever met

3 – Write a song or poem about her

2 – Whisk her away somewhere exciting for the weekend

1 – Cover her eyes and lead her to a lovely surprise

Store these romantic gestures away and you’ll never be stuck for a quick romantic gift again.

Molton Brown seems to be everywhere nowadays. I first discovered this wonderful brand earlier this year whilst on a romantic weekend at The Forbury Hotel, Their luxury body wash and grooming product range is top notch and beautifully packaged.

They have a number of gifts sets for women, but the Molton Brown Women’s Stowaway 2009 is a perfect gift for the girl who loves to travel. To the gym, to their friend’s, to another country… it doesn’t matter. There’s always an excuse to need more luxury beauty and pampering products.

The gift set contains six travel-sized bath & body and hair care products in a stylish, monogrammed fabric travel bag with water-resistant lining. It comprises:

• Ultrasmooth coco de mer bath & shower gel
• Heavenly gingerlily moisture bath & shower gel
• Relaxing yuan zhi bath & shower gel
• Ultrasmooth coco de mer body lotion
• Radiant lili-pili hairwash
• Radiant lili-pili haircondition

What more could a girl ask for? (except maybe a little help from their man to massage the products into their skin…)

The Women’s Stowaway 2009 gift set is available to buy exclusively from Molten Brown and costs around £45.

Porn for Women is a highly amusing little book featuring pages of high quality images of men in very compromising situations – like using a vacuum cleaner!

Each photo features a hot guy doing some domestic activity accompanied by a caption, sure to titillate and delight womankind everywhere. Examples include a guy holding a baby in one hand and neatly folding clothes with the other. The caption reads:

No, you relax for a while. I’ve figured out how to fold everything one-handed.

The other book in the series, called Porn for New Moms is also fantastic.

Either book would make a perfect coffee table talking point or a stocking-filler type present that will sure to get women giggling.

Porn for New Moms and Porn for Women are available to buy from Amazon.

The Hot Pants Tin from Biscuiteers is delivered by post to your lover. Read on to find out what we thought of this novel romantic gift.

The post box contained a plain brown cardboard rectangular box. My friend had given me a head’s up to tell me that she’d seen a fantastic romantic gift and one was on the way over. This must be it.

Once upstairs in the Tingle & Twitch headquarters, we peeled off the cardboard outer layer and were greeted with a metal tin, decorated with beautiful illustrations of pink and black lingerie.

The lid was removed revealing pink tissue paper sealed with a ‘Biscuiteers’ sticker, covering a card reading:

We love biscuits more than most people – in fact, we’re a bit obsessed, which is why we send our friends lovely tins full of our delicious iced biccies on birthdays, anniversaries, holidays or just to say thanks for a great weekend.

Having removed the card, we lifted the first black layer.

I was expecting this removal to reveal a tin packed with standard sized and shaped biscuits. But no…

Instead the box was divided into four layers, each holding four biscuits in sets of two (those good with maths will know that equates to 16 biscuits per tin).

The biscuits themselves are more like thin brownies. They are slightly squidgy with a thick layer of icing sugar.

Conclusion

The packaging and flirty designs on the biscuit will no doubt go down a treat with that special someone. If you’re not into the lingerie shapes then have a look at the Biscuiteers website as many more shapes are available.

At £37.50 per tin, these aren’t a romantic gift you can send everyday. But if you need a gift that will be delivered the next day, a tin of Biscuiteers biscuits are a brilliant alternative to flowers.

The Hot Pants Biscuit Tin is available direct from the official Biscuiteers site: www.biscuiteers.com.

In need of a romantic gift for her that won’t blow a hole in your pocket but still delight her?

I’ve gathered together a collection of 10 such items that are sure to delight. They range from very tame to delightfully naughty, depending on your (and her!) mood. And the best think is they all cost under £40.

Let’s get started.

1. Karma Sutra Oil of Love

These delicious, silky massage oils are designed to stimulate and gentle warm erogenous zones. Available in a variety of flavours, and presented in a beautiful bottle, Oil of Love is a sensual gift perfect to pamper your partner with. She might even rub some into your skin if you’re lucky!

2. Monogamy Adult Board Game

With three progressively steamy levels and over 390 ideas and actions, no game will ever be the same.

3. A David Austin Fragrant English Rose

Not all roses are created equal. David Austin has been breeding roses for over fifty years, producing a multitude of fragrances, shapes and colours, and the quality of these flowers is unsurpassed. Why not send your lover a Fragrant English Container Road that can be planted as a shrub or a climber. Each rose is shipped in an attractive sturdy gift box, included in the price.

4. Nancy Friday’s My Secret Garden

This seminal book is a collection of women’s sexual fantasies collected from women of all ages and races. Not only is it a fascinating read, but the fantasies are so varied that your girl is sure to find a story that keeps her captivated. This is not a book to read from cover to cover. It’s a book for dipping into on those nights when you’re not around and she is looking for a sizzling piece of erotica to succumb to.

Price: £6.99

5. A Bottle of Vintage Year of Birth Wine

Picture a romantic scene and you can be certain a bottle of red wine is going to feature. So imagine your lover tearing off the wrapping paper on a bottle of vintage wine bottled in the year she was born. Not only will it taste divine, but the bottle can be kept as a keep-sake to remind her of you for years to come.

Price: from £20

6. A Piece of Sexy Lingerie

Just like shoes, women can never have too much lingerie. It makes them feel sexy just to know they are wearing it, regardless of whether anyone gets to see it or not (but don’t worry, if you give it as a gift to them you WILL get to see it). A word of warning – make sure you buy it in the correct size or all hell will break loose. If you don’t know you girl’s size, then the easiest way to find out is to sneak a peak at their existing underwear when they are not around (sneak but it works).

Also bear in mind that you are buying it for THEM to feel sexy. That’s your number one concern. Just because you like the look of the PVC outfit doesn’t mean they will! So look at what they already own and buy something in a similar style and colour.

Myla does some lovely lingerie that is both provocative and sexy and is a good place to start.

7.  A Piece of Exquisite Silver Jewellery

If your partner wears jewellery then a beautiful piece of silver to place round her neck or on her wrist will be much appreciated. It’s a romantic gift that can be worn for years and will remind her of you every time she puts it on. There are many places to buy jewellery, but I recommend a piece from the HiHo Silver, such as the Multi Link and Stone Earrings, the 2 Strand Entwined Cuff Bracelet or Small Multi-Links Bracelet with Flat Heart.

Price: from £10

8. L.O.V.E Spells Biscuit Tin

Why send flowers when you can send biscuits! This tin of biscuits from Biscuiteers is delivered to your love’s door full of delicious biscuits that spell out your true feelings for her. A novel way to get your message across and definitely not something she will have had the pleasure of receiving before.

Price: £37.50

Pamper your lover with a bottle of Oil of Love, the best selling massage oil from Karma Sutra.

Oil of Love is the brand name for Karma Sutra’s best selling range of massage oils and make a wonderful romantic gift for women and couples.

The oils are designed for giving sensual and erotic massages. A few drops of the oil massaged into erogenous zones will fire off the warming effect and leave your partner both relaxed, and possibly turned on depending on which part of their body you are massaging! 

What I hadn’t realised until recently is that Oils of Love are not in fact oils. They are water-based formulas that wash away easily with water. This makes them latex safe and won’t leave your skin feeling oily after the massage. And as each Oil of Love comes in a delicious flavour, you can still (actually you are encouraged) to kiss your partner’s body during the massage.

Oil of Love is available in the following flavours:

• The Original - A delicate blend of chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon.
• Strawberries & Champagne - Plump, ripe strawberries tingling with a taste of sophisticated bubbly.
• Vanilla Cream - The essence of pure vanilla and smooth, rich cream.
• Raspberry Kiss - The enticing kiss of sweet, juicy scarlet treasures.
• Chocolate Mint - A mingling of sultry dark chocolate and refreshing mint.
• Cherry Almond - A blend of succulent cherries and toasted almonds.
• Tangerines & Cream - Tart tangerines sweetened with smooth-as-silk cream.
• Tropical Mango - Melt-in-your-mouth mango for a taste of the tropics.

Karma Sutra Oil of Love retails for around £12 making it an ideal romantic gift for women (although I doubt men will complain if they are given a bottle of the stuff on the condition that they also get you rubbing it onto them) that is within reach of everyone.

Oil of Love is available in 100 ml bottles directly from the Karma Sutra website or Love Honey if you are based in the UK.

You are stuck in that position again. It’s only a few days to go before your girlfriend’s birthday or some other special occasion that is important to her.

Get this wrong and you’ll be in the dog house for weeks.

You need to find a romantic gift for your girlfriend but have run out of ideas. What’s more, you have been out partying hard with your friends this past month and funds are somewhat diminished.

The panic sets in. You haven’t got time. Your mind goes blank. You can’t think of a gift idea for your girlfriend even though you had all those great ideas for your friends’ girlfriends when they came to you looking for help. But don’t worry, we’ve got some romantic gift ideas for your girlfriend that will blow her away.

Luckily, if your budget is tight this gives you a perfect opportunity to not only save money, but also get creative and come up smelling of roses at the end of it all.

The old adage “it’s not how much money you paid, it’s how thoughtful you were when choosing” still holds true, especially for girlfriends. Your girlfriend will find a gift that you have made specially for her one of the most romantic things you can do for her.

So, let’s get started!

1. Look In The Papers

Pick up a copy of your local paper and scour the back sections for events in your area. Often you will find free events happening at the weekend, especially if you get a paper on a Thursday or Friday.

Pick something that is slightly unusual. Maybe it’s something you know she has wanted to do in a while, or maybe it is something completely random. Common sense if vital here. Don’t take her to a heavy metal concert (unless she’s into that kind of thing!)

Remember, you are taking her somewhere SHE will like. Don’t worry, do this right and the favour is sure to be returned.

All you have to do next is make sure she’s free, then pick her up on the day and whisk her away.

2. Make Her Breakfast In Bed

This one is an old one, but there’s a reason it’s an idea that is still around.

Wake up earlier than usual one morning whilst your girlfriend is still asleep and creep down to the kitchen. Put together a selection of all the foods she loves. The aim is to return to the bedroom with a fantastic feast prepared just for her, before she wakes up.

Remember that presentation is everything! Make it look pretty. Use the best dishes and cutlery you can find. For a little extra flair you could place a romantic card telling her how much you love her along with a rose on the breakfast tray.

When she opens her eyes and sees what you’ve down, her heart will melt faster than the butter on her warm toast.

3. The Romantic Gift Lottery

The secret of romance may well just be to add a touch of mystery.

Get yourself 3 envelopes and 3 pieces of paper. On each piece of paper write something that you and your girlfriend can do together. As we are restricted to a limited budget, think about things you can do for free, but still allow you to spend time together.

Here are just a few examples:

- Go for a walk hand-in-hand in the park
- Make a collage of your and her photos to hang on her wall
- Penny sweet hunt. Wander the town looking for the top five sweets you enjoyed as a kid.
- 1 drink in her favourite bar

Get creative with these ideas. Show that you have really thought about them.

Once you have decided on three gift ideas for your girlfriend and written them down, put each piece of paper in an envelope. When you next see your girlfriend, tell her that you have lined up three exciting gift ideas for her and she has to choose one.

Have her pick an envelope, and then go do that thing! To build up suspense you can show her what she missed out on before you open the chosen envelope.

To a guy, this little process all seems a bit silly. But trust me, women LOVE this kind of thing. How many of her other boyfriends will have done something like this for her? You are going to stick in her mind for quite some time and be thought of as a romantic and adventurous man.

4. Write Her A Short Story

Sit down and think about a moment when you were together with your girlfriend and felt truly wonderful. Maybe it was a vacation you took last year, or the moment the two of you met. Think about all the feelings you felt and how excited you were about having your girlfriend there to share the moment with.

Once you have the memory clearly in your mind, begin writing a brief description of all the things running through your mind. Remember that women adore emotion. Don’t dwell on facts but instead describe how you FELT.

Come on guys, admit it. There is some emotion in you somewhere! Just think about the joy you will bring when you present the finished story to your girl. When she hears you read it aloud she will be transported in time to that moment and relive the feelings she felt then.

5. Relight Her Fire

Imagine your girlfriend opening her front door to see a trail of tea light candles leading towards the bathroom. Every few metres you’ve left a little note, with sweet nothings and teasing statements such as “Getting warmer…”, “You are so adorable” or maybe a simple “I love you”. Maybe there are little gifts for her such as a single chocolate or a single rose.

She continues along the trail, pausing to read each of your notes in turn until she finally pushes open the bathroom door to see you lying in a bubble bath, holding two glasses of wine, surrounded by candles.

Do this right and she’ll strip naked then and there and jump in with you.

If you don’t have a bath, then you could also have the trail leading to the kitchen where you have prepared a romantic meal, or to the bedroom where you have…ahem…romantically prepared yourself!

Conclusion

Making you girlfriend feel loved and special with a unique romantic gift when your on a budget is easy when you know how. All it takes is a little effort on your part.
