13 Intimate Valentine's Day Ideas Every Newlywed Couple Needs to Try

Valentine's Day hits different when you're newly married. You're still floating in that post-wedding glow, but reality has also set in: bills, household chores, and the realization that work-life balance is basically a myth propagated by people who sell daily planners. For newlyweds, especially, finding time for romance between grocery runs and doomscrolling can feel like another item on an already overwhelming to-do list. (Right after "figure out whose family we're spending Diwali with" and "remember to drink three litres of water.")

But Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to prioritize what matters—your connection, your pleasure, and your partnership. Whether you're going for full romance, keeping it cute and casual, or turning the day of love into a night of lust, there are so many ways to celebrate. And if you're looking to indulge your sexy side, you're in the right place.

Can’t decide if your idea of a perfect Valentine's Day means a romantic night in bed, breaking out some playful accessories, or having an intimate evening solo (self-love counts, people)? There are countless ways to make this Valentine's Day special. If you need a little inspiration as you plan your first (or second, or third) married Valentine's Day, here are 13 sexy and sweet gift ideas for newlyweds looking to keep that honeymoon energy alive. It doesn’t matter if you're partnered or celebrating solo, vanilla or ready to explore, seeking something simple or pulling out all the stops, there's something here for every vibe.

Why Sex Toys Make Perfect Gifts for Couples (Yes, Really)

If you've yet to experience the magic of bringing toys into the bedroom, hello and welcome to the first day of the rest of your sex life. You may think of vibrators as a mainstay for solo sessions, but best believe sex toys can be a total game-changer when it comes to partnered play as well.

Pretty much any sex toy—be it a wand vibrator, a massager, a bullet vibrator, whatever floats your boat—can be used with a partner if you're down to get creative. But there's also a whole category of toys specifically designed for couples, making it even easier to explore together. We're talking wearable vibrators and rings that can be worn during penetrative play, finger toys and accessories that add extra stimulation exactly where you need it, and even long-distance toys that can be controlled from across the room (or across the world, for those “impromptu business trips”).

The beauty of gifting each other intimate toys is that you're not just buying a thing—you're buying an experience, a conversation starter, and possibly a standing weekly appointment that neither of you will want to miss. When you hand your partner a beautifully wrapped toy, you're essentially saying, "Your pleasure matters to me, and I want us to have fun together." Which, let's be honest, is way more romantic than a box of chocolates that'll be gone in three days. (Though we won't judge if you get both.)

And since you've got a lot of options, we've gone ahead and rounded up some of the very best ideas for newlyweds ready to turn up the heat this Valentine's Day.

1. Try a New Toy Together

Surprise your partner with a new toy (or treat yourself to one) and spend the night getting acquainted with your new plaything. Whether you're ready to experiment with something vibrating, explore new sensations, or try out accessories you've been curious about, Valentine's Day is a great excuse to try something new. And if you've never used toys together before, V-Day is the perfect opportunity to bring them into the bedroom and start exploring together. Think of it as expanding your skill set, except way more fun than learning Excel.

Pro Tip: Looking for the perfect starter toy? Jaaneman is a vibrating couple's ring that benefits both partners during penetrative play. It's like having an extra hand that never gets tired and never complains about wrist cramps. Revolutionary.

2. Use a Couples Vibrator

While pretty much any sex toy can be incorporated into partnered sex, there's a whole category of vibrators specifically designed for couples to use together. From wearable toys designed to be worn during penetrative sex to remote-controlled marvels that one partner wears while the other operates, nothing says sexy V-Day like a toy (for two). These are especially great for newlyweds who want to explore intimacy in new ways without the "um, so, how do we..." awkwardness.

Pro Tip: Natkhat is a remote-controlled, hands-free massager that lets you play together even from across the room. Hand over the controls, and suddenly dinner becomes way more interesting. Just try not to laugh during the main course.

3. Exchange Sexy Massages

A massage can be surprisingly intimate when you're giving one to your partner in the privacy of your own home. And while a massage can be an erotic act all on its own, it also doubles as foreplay. Light some candles, turn down the lights, invest in some high-quality massage oil, and spend the evening getting all riled up as you take turns rubbing each other down. It's one of those intimate gifts for newlyweds that costs almost nothing (yay) but creates an incredible connection (double yay). Plus, you get to feel smug about being romantic AND practical at the same time.

Pro Tip: Want to add some extra magic to massage night? Jaadugar works beautifully for both full-body massages and targeted pleasure. It's called "the magician" for a reason—abracadabra, your tension (and inhibitions) have disappeared.

4. Wear Sexy Lingerie

Lingerie on Valentine's Day may be a cliché, but if you can't wear it on V-Day, when else are you going to do it? Diwali? Holi? Mother’s Day? Exactly. Whether you're partnered or single, use the holiday as an excuse to treat yourself to some sexy new pieces and have an at-home boudoir shoot, show off for your very lucky partner, or get all dressed up for an intimate night in with your sexiest self. Confidence is the real aphrodisiac here, and lace doesn't hurt either.

Pro Tip: Matching sets are great, but honestly? Your partner will be thrilled with whatever you're wearing. You could show up in a potato sack with strategic cutouts, and they'd be into it. The bar is refreshingly low when it comes to lingerie.

5. Let Your Partner Pick Out Lingerie for You

Give your Valentine the gift of knowing exactly what to get you, all while giving themselves the gift of getting to see you in sexy lingerie. Set a budget, buy a gift card to the lingerie store of your choosing, and write down your sizes with a note that says, "You pick." It's a gift, a game, and a date night all in one. Plus, the anticipation of waiting to see what they choose adds an extra layer of excitement. Will they go classic? Bold? Questionable? The suspense is delicious.

Pro Tip: Be prepared for them to choose something you'd never pick for yourself. That's half the fun. Also, keep the receipt. Just in case they think neon orange is "basically red."

6. Perform a Sexy Striptease

Live out your fantasy and treat your Valentine to a private strip show. You can find tutorials online or look for an in-person pole dancing class in your area. It's playful, empowering, and guaranteed to turn up the heat. Even if you're feeling awkward at first, that's part of the fun—laughter and intimacy go hand in hand. And honestly, you stumbling around in heels trying to be sexy is probably hotter than you think. Confidence is magnetic, even when it comes with minor coordination issues.

Pro Tip: Playlist is crucial. Nothing kills the vibe faster than "Alexa, play sexy music" followed by the Friends theme song because your algorithm is confused. Pre-plan, people.

7. Play a Sex Game

There are tons of sexy board games and intimacy decks designed for couples. Pick one (or a few) and plan a Valentine's Day game night with a very sexy twist. Games are perfect for newlyweds because they take the pressure off coming up with ideas and help you discover new things about each other's desires in a low-stakes, playful way. It's like Truth or Dare, except everyone's already half-naked and nobody dares you to eat a spoonful of hot sauce.

Pro Tip: Our Extremely Naughty Cards are extra spicy and perfect for couples ready to push their boundaries. Or try Tann Mann Dil for a slightly gentler introduction. Either way, you're about to learn some things about each other. All hands on deck? More like all cards on deck.

8. Write a Sexy Love Letter

Sure, you could buy a card from Archies, or you could give your foreplay a literary twist by penning your Valentine a love letter—the sexier, the better. What better way to remind your partner how loved and desired they are than with the gift of heartfelt, hand-written smut? In our age of text messages and DMs, taking the time to write something by hand hits different. Plus, your handwriting is probably terrible, which makes deciphering it part of the fun.

Pro Tip: Not confident in your writing skills? Start by sexting throughout the day to build anticipation, then put your best lines in the letter. Copy-paste is allowed. Shakespeare stole plots from other people; you can steal your own texts.

9. Read Erotica Out Loud

There are other ways to enjoy erotic material if watching porn isn't your thing. Pick a steamy scene from your favorite romance novel to read out loud to your partner, and maybe even act it out together if some role-play inspiration strikes. Reading erotica can be less intimidating than visual porn for some people, and it engages the imagination differently. Plus, there's something hilarious about trying to read sexy dialogue with a straight face. Spoiler: neither of you will manage it.

Pro Tip: Take turns reading paragraphs. Nothing brings you closer than struggling through ridiculously purple prose together. "His throbbing member"? Really, a romance novel? We're dying.

10. Listen to Audio Erotica

Audio erotica is another alternative if visual porn isn't your thing. From elaborate sexy stories to POV-style recordings, there are tons of sexy content out there to listen to on V-Day, either by yourself or with a partner. It's perfect for bedtime, a long bath, or any moment when you want to engage your mind as much as your body. Think of it as a podcast, except the only thing you're learning is what turns you on. Which is arguably more useful than knowing about the Crypto Revolution.

Pro Tip: Headphones are optional, but recommended if you live in an apartment with thin walls. Your neighbors don't need to know about your audio erotica journey. They already hear enough.

11. Plan a Sexy Getaway

One way to have a sexy Valentine's Day is to spend it somewhere else. Novelty can really enhance sex, especially in a long-term relationship, and a romantic getaway for two is an amazing way to fully unwind and celebrate by slipping into your sexiest selves. Even a weekend away can work wonders for reigniting that spark. Hotels have that magical quality of making you forget about laundry, dishes, and the fact that you need to schedule a dentist appointment.

Building a honeymoon intimacy kit for your getaway makes packing more fun. Include travel-friendly toys that won't raise eyebrows at airport security, some water-based lube, and maybe some massage oil. You know, the essentials.

Pro Tip: Love Bug looks exactly like AirPods, making it the most discreet travel companion for your romantic getaway. Airport security: "Nice earbuds." You: "Thanks, they're very... stimulating."

12. Book a Sexy Staycation

You don't have to travel far to have an intimate Valentine's Day away from home. Booking a night at a hotel or an Airbnb in your area can provide just as much steamy novelty as a full-fledged V-Day getaway. Sometimes just being in a different space is enough to shift the energy and make everything feel more exciting. Plus, no dishes, no laundry, and someone else makes the bed in the morning. That alone is foreplay.

Pro Tip: Pack your honeymoon intimacy kit even for a staycation. Include essentials like Love Jelly water-based lube and your favorite compact toys like Pyaari or Bijlee (which is exactly what you're hoping to generate). See what we did there?

13. Get Kinky (Yes, Even as Beginners)

Whether you and your partner are experienced kinksters ready to check something new off your sex bucket list or kink-curious beginners just dipping a toe in spicier waters, Valentine's Day is a perfect opportunity to get a little freaky and try something new. From role play to BDSM to temperature play and many more options, there are tons of kinky fantasies to explore. Just make sure you talk to your partner, do your research, and make sure everyone is informed, aligned, and enthusiastically consenting before bringing any new kinks into the bedroom this Valentine's Day. Communication is sexy. Surprise BDSM is not.

Pro Tip: Start small with fuzzy handcuffs or the Too Hot to Handle bundle that includes handcuffs and naughty cards. Build your way up to more intense experiences. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is your sex dungeon. 

The Bottom Line

The beauty of being newlyweds is that you're still in that sweet spot where everything feels exciting and new, but you've also committed to growing together. These Valentine's Day gift ideas—whether romantic, useful, or deliciously memorable—are all about celebrating that connection and prioritizing intimacy in a world that constantly demands your attention elsewhere. (Looking at you, work emails at 10 PM.)

Whether you choose one idea or mix and match several, the most important thing is that you're making time for each other. Marriage is a marathon, not a sprint, and these little moments of connection and pleasure are what keep you going when you're arguing about whether the dishwasher is actually clean or just looks clean. So go ahead—light the candles, break out the toys, write that letter, or book that hotel room. Your relationship deserves it.

And remember: the honeymoon phase doesn't have an expiration date if you don't let it. Keep that spark alive, keep exploring together, and keep cuddling (yes, that matters too). 

Happy Valentine's Day, newlyweds. 

You've got this. Now go forth and be inappropriately adorable.
