Edible Gifts

• Chocolate is probably the most popular aphrodisiac.chocolate pudding with chocolate curls in a martini glass image by David Smith from Fotolia.com
  
  Some foods naturally make us think of passion and romance - chocolate, for example. But other foods, especially reputed aphrodisiacs (something that enhances or increases sexual desire), can set the stage for serious passion. Popular aphrodisiacs include almonds, strawberries, vanilla, truffles, oysters, avocado and even bananas. These foods, individually or in combination, may serve to increase your special man's passion for you. Find a recipe that incorporates some of these allegedly desire-enhancing foods and make an unforgettable meal for your sweetheart. Top off the meal with a luscious, heady wine (also considered an aphrodisiac) and enjoy whatever follows.
  
  

Adult Gifts

  You probably know your man better than anyone else, so use that knowledge to buy a gift that will seriously stoke his passion. Head to an adult toy store and find a gift (or two) that's sure to excite him. Don't be afraid to buy something racier than usual or something you've never tried; your sense of adventure alone can be enough to arouse him. Take into account his favorite scents and textures when shopping to further enhance his experience. If you're not into toys, some seductive lingerie, an adult DVD, a lover's coupon book (for "adult" favors) or an adult game (for the bedroom) is sure to spark both his passion and his imagination.
  
  

Travel Gifts

• Enjoy a long, passionate soak together in a jacuzzi.flower petals on jacuzzi side image by laurent dambies from Fotolia.com
  
  There's nothing as exciting as being whisked away on the spur of the moment by your lover - spontaneity is almost universally sexy. Surprise your guy with an impromptu getaway, and it's sure to ignite serious passion and romance. Book a weekend at a local bed and breakfast or a couple's resort and choose some luxurious extras, such as a couple's massage or an in-room jacuzzi, for you and your guy to enjoy. If you can't get away for more than a night, check into a hotel in the next town. Get a room with a refrigerator and stock it with champagne, fruit and chocolate. Surprise him with a mini-vacation for the night and let the sparks fly.
  
  

Adrenaline-Filled Gifts

• The thrill of skydiving is sure to get his blood pumping.skydiver image by Igor Zhorov from Fotolia.com
  
  Don't feel restricted to the bedroom to stoke his passion. Men are often turned on by the rush of adrenaline that comes from engaging in extreme sports and other activities. If you live near the ocean, sign the two of you up for surfing lessons. If the ground is covered in snow, take him skiing or snowboarding. For a serious rush, try bungee-jumping, skydiving or BASE jumping together. The element of danger and the thrill of something new and seemingly crazy is likely to leave both of you with a renewed sense of being fully alive - the perfect recipe for red-hot passion.
