A small essential to pop into your bag. Perfect for the flight and the bedroom (hint: use with robe’s belt).
Rose petals
A small packet of rose petals can help the romance blossom in any hotel room. Artificial petals are best to reduce security hassle of bringing flowers on a flight.
Massage Oil
Be spontaneous and rev up the romance. Whether you bring travel-size massage oil or a kit of goodies, make the most of your trip!
Little Black or Red Dress
Throw on a little black/red dress to light up his heart on a romantic night and make it a night to remember. Don’t forget hair and makeup, too.

Long dangly earrings or a dressy neck piece can add an instant wow factor.

Swimwear
Swimwear is a must on romantic city breaks; even if it’s winter you can cozy up in the hotel jacuzzi/hot tub/pool/spa.
ChapStick I Burt’s Bees Lip Balm
Lip Balm
Some lip balm to keep your lips hydrated and soft during the changing weather. Most importantly to keep them kissable – pucker up!
Love Lock
Many cities around the globe (Paris, Dublin, Vegas, Hamburg, Adelaide, Vancouver, etc) have a bench/bridge/gate or similar public fixture where lovers symbolize their love with a padlock signed with their initials. The key is then thrown into the river to symbolize their everlasting love.
A little cheesy but why not? How often do you get to play up the romance card. This is the time!

Thank you! Very useful!
I started reading this, packing for a weekend in europe, expecting it to be somewhat unoriginal/ cliched…. but the lockets are a great idea…they are ridiculous prices at souvenir shops in touristy areas
Thanks Charlotte 🙂
