Merch to Purch / Holiday Deals A lustier gift guide for Valentine's Day
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 1:40 PM
Everyone in Charlotte knows one of the best places to go for Valentine's Day gifts is The Red Door, especially if you're sick of teddy bears, heart-shaped candy and flowers. And yes, with three locations in the Q.C., it is a fine establishment to check out, which I did. But I also passed through a couple of other spots that might not be so high on your radar, and put together a gift guide for those interested in celebrating the lustier side of Valentine's Day. Lingerie, sex toys and games, woo hoo!

Features / Holiday Deals Valentine's Day gifts for guys
Posted By Jaclyn Letizia on Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 8:00 AM
After asking a few random guys what they would like from a girl for Valentine's Day, I was still at square one. Every single one of them replied with the usual, "For her to cook me a steak, naked/in lingerie/in costume." While this is certainly acceptable for the sexiest day of the year, I can't exactly put it in a gift guide. So in addition to cooking (naked) for your guy, here is a list of some items he might also appreciate:
1. For the foodie:
Rub With Love Barbecue Sauce: $7
Chicken Rub, Salmon Rub, Steak Rub: $8
