As much as the holiday season can be all about hanging stockings by the fireside or spinning the dreidel with loved ones, it can — and should — also be about showing our significant others just how much we care about him or her. It's nice to show how much we value them, appreciate them, aaaaand want to get them under the mistletoe so we can rip their clothes off!
The holidays are busy and stressful and sadly, that means it's easy for the ones we love (and lust for) most to fall off our radars while we're decking the halls and shopping and baking and more. That's why a little sexy gift-giving is definitely in order this year. Don't let this gift fall off the holiday shopping list. It'll serve as just the reminder we all need to get back to our partners — and quick — and cuddle up alone, relieve some stress, and forget the holiday madness for a little while. Doesn't that sound nice?
