Instead of buying him yet another tie, take your holiday gift to the next level by purchasing a present that will enhance your relationship (and your sex life) well into the New Year. New bedroom decor. One of the best ways to improve your sex life in 2011 is to give your bedroom a makeover. Consider buying soft sheets with a high-thread count (think a dark jewel tone or similarly sexy shade, and avoid pastels or girly fabrics).
Put a dimmer on your light switch so you can have mood lighting at the tip of your fingers, or buy a few candles to add instant romance. (If you are going for scented options, consider candles with hints of cucumber, banana, or cucumber, all of which have been shown to positively impact libido). If you haven’t already, you should also invest in a sturdy lock for your bedroom door. You don’t want your kids walking in on your private moments, and it’s important for them to understand that Mommy and Daddy need alone time.
A baby-sitter on call. We all know that date nights are important for strong relationships, yet finding time and energy for these dates isn’t always easy.
Eliminate the guesswork by planning ahead and scheduling a baby-sitter for a weekly or bimonthly night throughout 2011.
With a baby-sitter all lined up, you will be much more likely to follow through on your date night, and the gift will allow your partner the excitement of anticipating a whole year of special date nights!
Erotic aids. Erotica and sex toys aren’t just for single folks. There are many ways that a couple can benefit from using erotica in the bedroom. In fact, a recent study found that women who read romance novels have higher libido than women who do not.

A vacation for two. Along with spending time together each week, it’s important to make time to get away for an adult-only vacation. Taking trips as a family can be fun, but they are also very stressful. In between packing the kids’ swimsuits and making sure they are slathered in SPF, you don’t have much time to be romantic with your partner.
Make time to get away as a couple at least once or twice a year, whether it’s a weekend trip to a nearby hotel and spa, or an extended trip to the tropics. Just taking one vacation a year as a couple can positively impact your libido and connection with your spouse, so get your bags and start packing!
As you can see, the best gift you can give your partner this year is the gift of time and attention. By staying committed to your bond and working to keep your connection fresh, you can make sure that your relationship stays strong long after the ball drops.
