Whether you're shopping for your soulmate or a group of gal pals, these unique treats will make them feel loved.
1. Little book of secrets
Conceal your naughty date night supplies with the Bex Naughty Nightstand gift set ($75). Disguised as a book of fairy tales, the box includes two smaller packages; one looks like a cigarette carton and contains a black lacy thong, while the other resembles a matchbook and holds a single condom.
2. Love is blind
Maintain the element of surprise with this silk and lace blindfold from Luz de la Riva ($87).
3. Cardiac arrest
Channel your inner Christian Grey with these sexy silk handcuffs from Lelo ($49).
4. Lather on the love
This organic body wash from Plant Brooklyn ($20) doubles as a bubble bath and aphrodisiac.

Just because cassette players are extinct it doesn't mean mix tapes can't live on. Pack this USB with 900 minutes of your favorite love songs ($17.39) and share them with your crush.

Instead of a traditional photo, capture your love with needle and thread for a custom hand-stitched Butter Puppies embroidered couples' portrait ($160).
