"So, what are your big plans for date night?" 

That's a question I've been asked a lot at work, and have asked a million times to coworkers. It's a pretty typical question. You know someone, usually a married couple or another long-termer, is planning a special night, something to break the everyday.

The problem is, unless you have real fireworks planned, date night might fall flat. I mean, who knows if the movie is really going to be good (unless it's Lady Bird; that's great). And dinner? Do you go with what you like but is the same old, or try something new? What if you don't like that? If only there was a surefire way to make sure that date night will be new, exciting, and fun. 

Luckily, there is. I'll give you one hint: it's sex. 

Actually, it's wild, kinky, experimental, fun sex. It's taking a journey with your partner, going wherever your passion leads you. And for date night, I've found that most fun explorations begin with a box. Opening it brings you into untold avenues.

Sex toy kits provide a theme and direction, but more than that, provide limitless possibilities. They all contain a few kinds of toys, letting you explore each other in ways that you might not have imagined before, or, more likely, in ways that you have imagined, when you dreamed up a steamy pulp-romance-cover sort of date night.

Really, these sex toy kits are a date in a box, providing the perfect material for a sexy end to your night. This way, when a nosy co-worker (i.e. me) asks how date night was, you can just smile slyly, and they'll know. They won't need to ask anything else. 

Choosing the Best Sex Toy Kit for Your Sexy Date Night

So, how is your date night going to go? With these sex toy kits, I can promise you: pretty, pretty good. Let's start with some light bondage, shall we?

The Vibrating Pleasures Collection.

I know a lot of date nights are meant for staring into each other's eyes over a candlelit dinner, but let's be honest: eye contact is overrated. Or at least not always needed. When you don't want your partner to know exactly what is coming, we present the Vibrating Pleasures sex toy kit.

Start with the blindfold, a satin number that feels sensuous on the skin while heightening the other senses. Is arousal a sense? Well, even if not, it is definitely heightened (literally). This also comes with great beginner cuffs - bondage-lite, so to speak. They can be as loose as you want, and easy-on, easy off. So: no light, and some light bondage. What's next?

A vibrator. Specifically, a Midnight lavender 10-function vibrator. When your partner can't see and can't resist, the sound of the vibrator buzzing near their sensitive, heightened areas will have them straining and moaning with pleasure and anticipation. And then when it touches? It's a night to remember!

Submit and Surrender Kit.

Here's another kit that begins with a blindfold, but the lack of vision is just the start. The Submit and The The Surrender kit is perfect for experienced Dom/Sub relationships as well as those who are just trying it out. Because, after all, isn't that what date night is all about? Some nights you try the new Thai place; others, a ball gag. 

That's right: this kit comes with a breathable ball gag, so that you are forced to communicate without words. This heightens connection and strengthens understandings (and can be super hot). But my favorite part is the 40 feet of red bondage tape. 

This tape sticks to only itself, holding you without grabbing skin or hair. It is comfortable and flexible, but also strong. It is great for bondage, and allows you to create your own restraints. It also allows you to create your own fetish positions. Do you want your man ball-gagged, blindfolded, and with his spread-eagle legs pointing to the corners of the pool table? Now you can.

White Passion Play Kit.

Date night is different than a vacation, or even a staycation, because the idea is that it is just one night. So you can't really go anywhere, except maybe that new burger joint the next town over. And while that is okay (I've literally never said no to a burger), there's no real destination. That is, unless you have our next toy. 

The White Passion Play kit starts with a New Orleans/Eyes Wide Shut-style masquerade mask, all sultry smiles and lacy ties. You are brought somewhere elegant, mysterious, and most likely hot and steamy. You feel a bead of sweat roll down the warmth of your chest, right past your feathered nipple clips. 

With these you can tease your partner, rubbing the clips over his or her body, tickling them as the mysterious stranger. You can also use the feather tickler to augment that, moving it places where your nipples can't reach (although that shouldn't stop you from trying). 

Date nights are about breaking up familiarity. No better way to do that than to masquerade as a mystery. And if you want variety even on that, the Masquerade Party collection offers gold masks, golden handcuffs, a black tickler, and silicone kegel balls. What will the unknown stranger do to you? Take you to places unimaginable? Let's hope so.

All-In-One Collection.

We've talked about this before as a stocking stuffer, but it can make for Christmas in July, too. This sex toy kit provides just about everything you might need to make a date night mean a little more than board games and binging Netflix. (though holy cow, Godless is awesome. Binge it. During sex breaks.)

The set includes:

• Blindfold
• Mini flogger
• Anal beads
• Steel balls
• Mini vibrator
• Handcuffs
• Nipple clamps
• Sex and Mischief playing cards

Christmas might only come once a year, but that doesn't mean you have to.

Sexy Severe Kit.

How was date night?" "Severe." "Oh? Wait, what?"  That's where the conversation will end, as you pretend to get an email or knock over the water cooler. After all, the sex toy kit you opened up was our Sexy Severe. And that is too much fun to share with HR (in fact, don't bring HR into this at all).

This kit has all sorts of toys that will make certain parts stand up and pay attention. Crystal nipple clips add a sort of futuristic sexbot thrill to things, or a post-apocalyptic punk sexuality. It's raw, and that rawness extends to the Wartenberg wheel, a spiked toy that brings pain and pleasure anywhere it rolls.

That's not all, of course. There's a flared butt plug which adds enormous pleasure when inserted (with lube!), staying there throughout all activities. Even the ones that get a little wild or go long. And thanks to the metal cock ring, this will certainly go on a long time.

And it will be wild. The kit also comes with a beaded metal whip, perfect for the soft sensitive parts. I recommend heating it up (mildly) or cooling it off. You can run it over your partner's body, as they feel the temperature sensation caress their naked and tremulous flesh, before, with a quick flick of the wrist, the touch becomes a stinging kiss. 

Open Up a New Adventure, Together

The truth is, there's no right or wrong sex toy kit to pick. There are different tastes for different people, and different moods for different nights. Pick the ones that are right for you, or the ones you think might be right when the mood strikes. 

Or, you know, you could see what the new specials are at the Landlocked Fisherman Tavern down the street. I hear they now have two kinds of potato chips!

The point is, date night belongs to you. Feel free to mix things up. Feel free to explore your sexuality, in ways that fit what you both want and need. Feel free to come up with new ideas. Feel free to be yourselves. That's what date night is all about: remembering that you love each other, and that the person next to you is the one you want to be with. 

But remember, that doesn't mean you have to 'think outside the box.' What you need to break the routine and have a sexy date night is in the box, in our sex toy kits, ready for you to tear open and find a new world.
