Couture Boudoir Photography For Valentine’s Day

January 11, 2011 | Posted by bLavish as For Him, Luxury Gifts at 4:47 pm | Comments off

Ladies, let’s be honest. It’s pretty easy to buy women gifts. Throw a couple diamonds or a spa package our way, and most of us will be completely content. Men, however, aren’t that easy, particularly when it comes to romantic gifts. He probably doesn’t want, say, any frilly underthings. However, he probably does want to see you in your frilly underthings. So, then, what’s better than commemorating your beauty in a way that he can enjoy at his leisure. Critsey Rowe is an international photographer who will help you take the boudoir photos of your (and his) dreams.

Boudoir photography is the kind of personalized gift that can go wrong really quickly. The wrong photographer, the wrong lighting, or the the wrong concept can take it from a sexy, but tasteful, gift to something smutty and declasse pretty fast. Critsey Rowe is a woman who gets the job done in a beautiful way. Choose the attitude you’re going for: sassy, sultry, couture, or any combination, and let her take pictures that both of you will love. Throw in a bow and this is basically the perfect Valentine’s gift for any man.

Women love scented candles. So much so that there is now an entire aisle dedicated to them at the supermarket. But let’s be honest, people. Bringing home an apple-pie scented Glade candle isn’t going to win you many points with the wifey. Gentlemen, here is a candle that will get you major brownie points.

This beautiful black soy candle comes in Welcome Home’s signature Champagne Noir scent, and comes wrapped in a gorgeous black box tied with a beautiful satin bow. But that’s not all it comes with. The candle also comes with a diamond bow necklace with 38 sparkling white diamonds designed by Bucci jewelers. Now that’s a scented candle.

Welcome Home describes The Ultimate Luxury Candle as, “Meticulously hand-crafted, the stunning pendant is encrusted with 38 brilliant diamonds, 2.23 carat total weight. G color, VS clarity, set in 14 carat white gold…Diamonds, ‘Champagne’ and Candles, the perfect trio. We can’t think of a better gift.”

Actually, come to think of it, neither can I.
