I am not a sappy girly-girl who loves red roses and mushiness. Yet, heart wrenchingly so, my lover lives 2,000 miles away. During our monthly visits, we love to indulge in plenty of one on one time. We can go entire weekends only leaving the apartment for food rations.

While all this affection is required and treasured, we are always eager to add some excitement to our bedroom (kitchen counter, balcony, bathtub, bar stool) frolics. I was delighted when an undisclosed associate bestowed an ornate yet discreet, crimson box of pleasure upon me—Treasure Trove’s Kama Sutra, Strawberries and Champagne.

I traditionally guffaw at gingerly displayed tulip petals and gentle smelling candles, but I was intrigued by the novelty of this box of love. This delicate cardboard sachet contained a honey-flavored body powder with a feather applicator, a self-heating body oil (the Oil of Love), and a stimulating pleasure balm lubricant. It is all beautifully packaged in a Zen-inspired scarlet and golden box. Before my beau arrived to town, I tested the merchandise. The Stimulating Gel tasted of minty-fresh strawberries and left my lips burning with tingles. The Oil of Love left my “hands” smooth and shiny and tasted of sweet, sugary berries. I had the most fun using the feather duster to cover myself in the honey powder. (Peculiar and creepy, I know, but I’m a curious gal.) I was burning to try this stuff on my main man.

When my boo arrived, I raced home to show him our new toys. He was initially skeptical, but raring at the opportunity to crank up our bedtime temperature. He was tense after six hours of traveling, so I loved him up by rubbing him down with the Oil of Love. He “perked up” as I brushed the oil over his body and he tasted sweet strawberries. He started to get into all the pleasure the love box had to offer and dusted some powder over me. We finished up using the stimulating gel for some serious stimulation.

For anybody looking to add some berries and bubbly to your love life, you should definitely buy your own box of love. Kama Sutra claims that, “the taste of Strawberries and Champagne is as delightfully intoxicating as sweet, plump berries, bursting with flavor and bobbing in a glass of bubbly.” My lover and I agreed—and consequently did some “bobbing” of our own.
