Valentine’s Day is all about celebrating love – and nothing says ‘I love you’ like a romantic rendezvous between the sheets. This year, leave the roses (and your clothes) at the door and give the gift of pleasure. To help you woo your boo, we’ve rounded up the best gifts guaranteed to get you there. From erotic fiction and massage oils, to top-rated toys for partner play, there’s something here for every kind of lover.

Do tales of sordid affairs light your lover’s fire? Browse Booktopia’s online library of erotic fiction and gift them something they can really sink their literary teeth into. Bonus points if you take turns reading aloud (hot).&nbsp;

Deepen conversation with an intimate partner via the We’re Not Really Strangers card game, designed to create empowering, meaningful connections. Because everyone knows arousal begins in the brain&nbsp;– warning: feelings may arise.

Truth or dare, but make it sexy. This card game from Lovehoney is designed to kick-start your foreplay, including a list of ‘forfeit tasks’ you or your partner must perform if they choose not to answer a question. Or, shuffle the cards at random and let them inspire a new spicy adventure.&nbsp;

Did you know that reducing the ability of one of your senses can help to heighten the experience of the others? Elevate your partner’s touch sensations and take control with this luxe (and ultra comfy) blindfold from Lovehoney. Trust us, they’ll feel everything ten times more.

Take the sentiment ‘my presence is your present’ to the next level and present yourself to your partner wrapped up in a big, red bow. Hot tip: skip the lingerie and wear this and nothing else for a gift they’re unlikely to forget.

LBDO may win the award for the most aesthetically pleasing sexual wellness brand, but its products do more than just look good. We recommend the multi-purpose Essensual Oil – made with Australian Kakadu Plum Seed Oil, Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil and Sandalwood Oil. Heavenly.&nbsp;

Want to take pleasure to the next level? The Arousal Serum by DAMN is a pH-balanced formula designed to increase circulation and blood flow with a warm, satisfying tingle. Made with Peppermint, Cinnamon Bark Oil and Ginger –&nbsp;it’s lickable, too.&nbsp;

Candles are perfect for setting the mood, but hot wax is more than just a byproduct of good ambience. Wax play is the perfect way to warm your partner up – in more ways than one. Take a sensual massage to the next level and use the spout to pour gently over their body.

When friction isn’t your friend, opt for this versatile and silky-smooth water-based lubricant. With more than 1,600 reviews, it’s a bedside table essential for long-lasting pleasure (solo or with a partner) and enhanced sensations time and time again.&nbsp;

A worldwide best-seller, the Satifyer Pro 2 Generation 2 creates an oral-like sucking and massaging sensation that will send you to orgasm heaven. With 11 exciting settings to explore and a quiet motor for discrete play, it's the perfect toy for anyone who loves a little pleasure.&nbsp;

Perfect for hands-free play or long-distance sessions, The We-Vibe Chorus adds thrilling vibrations to your lovemaking, stimulating those erogenous zones during wear. Control its intensity via the remote, or via the We-Vibe app – no matter where in the world you are.

Internal or external stimulation – porque no los dos? Thanks to the Smile Makers’ The Billionaire, you don’t have to choose. With a rounded head and a sleek, insertable body, this product is versatile, silent, waterproof and super cute.&nbsp;

Level up with this powerful couple’s ring from Wild Secrets. Made from stretchy silicone to accommodate different shapes and sizes, the elongated shape features a tapered point that can be pushed backwards for solo play, or forward for partnered pleasure.

We know we’ve waxed lyrical about LBDO’s design aesthetic, but have you ever seen such a chic vibrator? The Essensual Vibe is (almost) cute enough to live outside the bedside drawer.

Extra-hot gifts for a spicy Valentine’s Day | Afterpay | Adult products

Extra-hot gifts for a spicy Valentine’s Day.

The Loop – Jan '24: Extra-hot gifts for a spicy Valentine’s Day.

Sunny days, late sunsets, and that sweet feeling of warmth on your skin. What better way to celebrate this season's best bits than with a spritz of summer fragrances?&nbsp;Summer calls for citrus, pepper, herbs, and fruits. Aquatics, florals, and good green vibes. All those delicious things we love about the season.&nbsp;But just as you switch up your skincare routine or ditch the doona when it gets too hot, so, too, should your perfume get a summer refresh. With the extra heat in the air, the aromatic molecules in your usual perfumes are getting a boost. We want light, fresh fragrances for summer that are less dramatic but last longer on our skin.&nbsp;This year, we’ve given up working on our summer bodies and are working on our summer scents instead. To help you capture the essence of the season, we’ve rounded up the aromas you want to spritz.

Lean into summer’s aqua obsession. Days by the pool, sips of iced lemon water, ocean breezes, and calm lakes. We stan a summer fragrance that can transport us with a single spritz.&nbsp;Aqua fragrances are fresh, clean, and crisp. They list off notes like salt, seaweed, and algae, each coming alive on your skin. And better still, they’re gender-neutral. (Read: worth adding to your Valentine’s Day gift list.)<a href="https://sephoraaustralia.pxf.io/zNmM2M" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pacific Rock Moss by Goldfield and Banks</a> is about as aquatic as it gets. These fragrance geniuses have created a zesty, sunny, saline, and warm scent — everything your best summer ever was.Want the best cologne for summer? Our current obsession is<a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=FvX1IC3AkkA&amp;mid=43806&amp;murl=https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/51879/acqua-di-gio-for-men-eau-de-toilette-spray-100ml" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Acqua Di Gio for Men by Giorgia Armani</a>. Catch the summer vibes with aquatic notes of hyacinth and splashes of green tangerine, neroli, and bergamot. The<a href="https://www.giorgioarmanibeauty.com.au/acqua-di-gioia-eau-de-parfum/3605521172525.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> for-her version</a> is just as divine, with florals and zest added to the signature scents of this fragrance.

Say it with flowers this summer. Akin to walking in a field of flowers or taking a holiday to a tropical location, the sweet, bloomy notes of floral perfumes are quintessential summer. As the perfect complement to beach trips, lounging poolside with friends, or day-to-night fun at a music festival, they’re deliciously feminine and versatile.Floral summer fragrances capture the most beautiful natural aromas like lilacs, rose, jasmine, lavender, and frangipani. And just like the lingering summer days, they seem to last forever on your skin.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=FvX1IC3AkkA&amp;mid=43806&amp;murl=https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/57909/issey-miyake-for-women-eau-de-toilette-100ml-spray" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Issey Miyake’s L’Eau D’Issey</a> has earned its icon status as a summer scent. With a carefully bottled curation of the loveliest freshwater florals, like lily and carnation, you’ll want to wear it long after summer is over.Take a trip to heaven every time you spritz by<a href="https://tidd.ly/3O5HeWK" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Maison Margiela Replica Lazy Sunday</a>. According to its makers, the scent feels like soft skin and freshly washed bed linen — and we agree. As one of our favourite fresh fragrances for summer, it’s perfect for the body that prefers a more subtle scent.

Orange you glad we covered the citrus scents? Lemons, grapefruits, oranges, and mandarin are among some of the world’s favourite smells, and they just so happen to rock in the summer. They’re light, crisp, and won’t overpower you, which is precisely what we want when the Celsius starts to soar.Feeling a little sweaty and hot? A quick spritz of a citrus summer perfume will invigorate and uplift you. They work swimmingly with all your summer plans and relaxed<a href="https://www.afterpay.com/en-AU/the-loop/looks/linen-clothing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> linen outfits</a>, from rooftop cocktails to all-day beach hangs.And the best cologne for men? The mandarin and ginger top notes found in<a href="https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/p/creed/creed-aventus-cologne-50ml.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Creed Aventus Cologne</a>. A few sprays are bound to put some zest in your step.On the flip side, indulge in the unreservedly romantic — and majorly zesty — aromas of<a href="https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/100579/chanel-chance-eau-tendre-eau-de-parfum-100ml" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Chanel’s Chance Eau Tendre.</a> It’s fruity and floral, with Grapefruit-Quince and Jasmine stealing the spotlight. Even if you can’t afford that dreamy European vacay this year, chuck on a<a href="https://www.afterpay.com/en-AU/the-loop/looks/sparkly-dress" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> sparkly dress</a> and this summer fragrance, and you’ll be there.

Go green and embrace all that refreshing, nature-y stuff we love about summer. Think morning crispness. Think lush forests. Think digging in the veggie garden (sans worms). A stellar summer perfume should invigorate you with a single spritz, taking you on an instant journey to the great outdoors. And that’s just what these green machines do.As the name suggests, green fragrances lean into nature. So, you’ll find notes of cut grass, freshly picked herbs, and summer fruits.<a href="https://www.endclothing.com/au/comme-des-garcons-play-green-eau-de-toilette-pcs3266as.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Comme des Garçons Parfum’s Play Green</a> features all our favourite summer stuff, like fresh mint and basil, with tinges of vetiver, lime, and jasmine. It’s crisp and uplifting, with a bottle that looks good enough to wear.&nbsp;And because these fresh fragrances smell so damn good, they’re totally gender-neutral, too. Spritz yourself, spritz your man, and grab a bottle for your dad.One of our absolute faves,<a href="https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/p/aesop/aesop-hwyl-eau-de-parfum-50ml.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Aesop Hwyl</a>, promises to let you take refuge in nature with a single spritz. It’s woody, smoky, and filled with notes of moss and spices. And if you’re someone who likes their perfumes to invoke all the deep feels when you spray it on, it’s the scent for the job.

Summer is the perfect time to switch up your scent. And with these refreshing, invigorating aromas, you’ll never want the bottle to end.

When the temperature rises, or a heat wave hits, keeping your space comfortably cool is priority number one. If installing an aircon isn’t an option, the right fan can transform your pad from a steam room to a sanctuary at the flick of a switch or the touch of a button. But with hundreds of options around, how do you choose?&nbsp; Enter our guide to the only fans you need to cool down your home or office on sweltering days and sticky nights. From sleek ceiling spinners to smart tech, there’s something in here that’ll turn down the temp for every lifestyle and budget.&nbsp;

If you’re searching for ways to cool a house without AC, you’re living this dilemma IRL. It’s hot, you’re bothered and getting a good night’s sleep is a distant dream. If that sounds about right, you need a good fan – and we’ve got your back.&nbsp;Fans keep your house cool by circulating air around the room, moving hot air upwards and helping our bodies evaporate sweat more quickly. Old-school <a href="https://t.cfjump.com/77430/t/42872?Url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.catch.com.au%2fproduct%2fceiling-fan-led-light-52-inch-dc-motor-reversible-timer-w-remote-control-3-plywood-blades-6-fan-speeds-white-24769167%2f%3fsid%3dCooling%26st%3d91%26srtrev%3dsj-fcc8q3e3f0biiesnbsqyba.click%26pid%3d24769167%26sp%3d19%26oid%3d86765176" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ceiling fans</a> work their magic by creating a wind-chill effect that cools you down without actually lowering the temperature. Hello, weather sorcery we can get behind.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you prefer your fans on the floor, a classic <a href="https://t.cfjump.com/77430/t/42872?Url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.catch.com.au%2fproduct%2fheller-40cm-2l-misting-3-speed-pedestal-cooling-fan-w-remote-control-timer-10748069%2f%3fsid%3dCooling%26st%3d91%26srtrev%3dsj-tsdog2f1hzifvxbszxjyei.click%26pid%3d10748069%26sp%3d33%26oid%3d91291647" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">pedestal fan with a misting function</a> is the way to go.

Best fans for a cool summer. | Afterpay

How to cool down a room: the best fans for a scorching summer. 

The Loop – Dec '23: 2023: How to cool down a room: the best fans for a scorching summer. 

With 2023 drawing to a close, we asked Afterpay A-Team member – and lover of all things health and wellness&nbsp;–&nbsp;Dom Elissa what trends she’s most looking forward to in the new year (and which one’s she’s keen to leave behind).

Afterpay: What are some of your favourite 2023 trends that you’ll be taking into the new year?Dom: “This has been the year of strength training for me. I love lifting weights because it is challenging – not only physically, but mentally. I can better handle tough things in my life because I tackle tough exercises at the gym. I know that might sound silly to someone who hasn’t done it before, but it really is true! My favourite activewear brands to wear to the gym are The Upside, Aje Athletica and Crop Shop Boutique.Another trend I will be taking with me into 2024 is the clean girl aesthetic, it showed me how a little [makeup] really goes a long way.I live for the ‘strawberry makeup’ look, which I recreate with the <a href="https://www.mecca.com/en-au/mecca-max/off-duty-blush-stick-juicy-I-043272/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Off Duty Cream Blush Stick in Juicy</a> from <a href="https://www.mecca.com/en-au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mecca</a> in Juice for my cheeks, lips and eyelids. I also started wearing my hair in a sleek bun with a hair mask in&nbsp;– like <a href="https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/p/olaplex/olaplex-hair-perfector-no-3-home-treatment.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Olaplex Number 3</a> – it’s the best hack ever for super soft, healthy hair.”

A: What habits do you hope to kick in the new year, and which ones are you going to kick-start?D: “After having a skin cancer scare, I now only go to the beach in the mornings or late-afternoons when the UV isn’t as strong. Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, and as much as I adore laying in the sunshine, it is so important we look after our skin. I wear SPF every single day; for my face, I love the<a href="https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/p/ultra-violette/ultra-violette-supreme-screen-spf-50-hydrating-facial-sunscreen-75ml.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Ultra Violette Supreme Screen Hydrating Facial SKINSCREEN SPF50+</a> and for my body, the <a href="https://www.ozhairandbeauty.com/products/we-are-feel-good-inc-signature-sunscreen-lotion-spf50-400ml" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">We are Feel Good Inc. Signature Sunscreen Lotion SPF50+.</a>Next year I also want to really embrace slowing down more, and disconnecting to reconnect. Journaling has been a habit of mine for many years, but in 2024 I want to take this further by incorporating daily breath-work. This <a href="https://www.kikki-k.com/au/products/calm-journal-inspiration-21-blue-11406601?variant=47105146257730" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kikki K Calm Journal</a> is the perfect way to nail both at once.”

A: What new things are you most excited to try in 2024?D: “I want to really get better at doing a winged liner, and playing around with hair and makeup. <a href="https://www.dyson.com.au/dyson-airwrap-complete-long-copper-nickel" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A Dyson Airwrap</a> is definitely on my wish-list for 2024 – I want to achieve that bouncy blow wave from home.In terms of my health, I want to embrace more alcohol-free hangouts with friends – nature walks, home-cooked dinners and other experiences that don’t involve drinking.”

A: What was your 2023 ‘era’?D: “2023 was definitely my ‘fancy girl era’. Post Covid-19 lockdowns, I just wanted to dress up; I loved vibrant colours and big statement jewellery, and I wore heels more than ever. <a href="https://www.becandbridge.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bec and Bridge</a> and <a href="https://www.meshki.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Meshki</a> have been some of my go-to’s this year for going-out pieces that I can wear again and again.”A: What era are you entering in 2024?D: “In 2024, I’m going to enter my ‘effortless era’; I want to have key pieces in my wardrobe that I can wear over and over again. A good pair of jeans, white tanks, cool girl sunnies and some staple dresses will be my go-to – I love the idea of not thinking about the look too much.”

A: If you could look into a crystal ball, what do you think we are going to be obsessed with in 2024?&nbsp;D: “I personally think that we are collectively learning to embrace our natural flaws and quirks more and I really hope this continues in 2024. I also feel like 2023 was the year of short hair and 2024 will see long hair have its moment. Next year we will see long hair for the cool girl&nbsp;–a loose wave, and some layers.”&nbsp;Want more cool-girl inspo from Dom? Follow her on Instagram @dominiquelissa.

The Loop – Nov '23: Under $100: 15 gifts for the gal who has everything.

Laneway 2024 is fast approaching and I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but the lineup is fantastic! I’m the Programming Assistant for the festival, so as well as helping book the artists on the lineup, I’m doing a lot of the behind the scenes research and watching artists grow - basically listening, listening and more listening to heaps of music. From the moment I got my first little bit of cash, I was either spending it on tattoos or records. When money got tight (the live music industry stopped existing for a while, if you can remember) I said to myself that tattoos were put on hold and you could only buy records if you absolutely loved the album from start to finish. So I present to you some albums that I wouldn’t think twice about buying from some of our Laneway 2024 acts!

Faye Webster is the type of cool girl that I want to be and would die to be friends with. The awkward, dry wit that she uses in her songwriting is so me-coded I was floored when I first heard it. She is honest, even when honesty is boring and sees poetry in the mundane. Who says you can’t tenderly yearn and also throw in a couple of jokes here and there?

This record came out in 2021 and basically set the trend of blending hip-hop with rock production. I’m seeing the Paris Texas influence everywhere these days. Also, I’m putting this in writing: I WILL be moshing at their set… I’ll be in there!

You know there’s those albums that are so sad or have such a strong mood that you put off listening to it because you’re worried it will send you spiralling? This record does the opposite. It feels like years of therapy crammed into 50 minutes. I genuinely feel like I had a breakthrough while listening to this. Chicken soup for the people who need to be kinder to themselves.&nbsp;

My favourite artist discovery this year! I really think there is no one out there currently that is sounding like Blondshell and it’s so refreshing to hear such a unique sound in indie rock. If you want some 90s inspired, Daria-era, angsty rock in your life get into my girl!

I first heard about this duo when they played with Ariana Grande and Thundercat for that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa0upTDZDYQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Them Changes cover</a>. Anyone associated with Thundercat is bound to make some insane, mind-expanding music. Kind of crazy that your debut album has Mac DeMarco, Snoop Dogg, Anderson .Paak and Herbie Hancock featuring - just goes to show how talented these newcomers are. I suspect this will be the secret star set at Laneway…

This one is essential listening. Not only because it’s a critically acclaimed, era-defining modern classic, but Steve is going to need you to be off book on the lyrics by the time Laneway rolls around. You’ve probably seen his live videos, those fans don’t play! So best get the lyric sleeve out of this vinyl and start memorising ASAP!
