23 Days of Creative Valentine's Day Ideas, Day # 8

Today is Gift Suggestion Day:


No fanfare this morning...no preamble...let's just hit it:


1. Jamn' Leather Black & Red Feather Boa
I'm quite sure there are other local sources where a feather boa can be purchased, such as (and I've already checked the websites to verify)...Michael's Craft Store and A.C. Moore Craft Store. But I like this black and red model.


The prices are all about the same...in the $8 range.
Of course, just because an item is advertised on a website doesn't mean it's available in the store.
I'd call and check first.


I noticed that Adam and Eve stores advertise a feather boa...but they are 3x the price of the other stores.  
Maybe it's of a superior quality...made from feathers which are individually plucked from some exotic bird by virgins on a secluded Caribbean island...I have no idea.
Considering how often anyone is likely to use a feather boa...I'd go the less expensive route first.


So, what to do with the feather boa once you've acquired one?


Here's a few off-the-cuff suggestions:


Girl gives to Guy:  


...wrap it up in a box with other items to make a complete outfit...whether a thong, or bathing suit, or teddy...or...just the boa...
and either put it on in front of him or let him decide when he'd like to see you adorned in feathers.


...wear the feather boa as an accessory to whatever sort of outfit is appropriate for your relationship...along with a HUGE homemade red cutout heart card.


...download a version of "The Stripper" or just play it from YouTube:


Practice your dance first...make it memorable!


...Using your digital camera, webcam or a willing accomplice...take some shots of yourself in your Boa. 
Take inspiration from Famous Vixens and come up with your own version.


Guy gives to Girl:


Whether you have a lady who knows what to do with one of these feather boas or not...wrap it up either alone or with other items.


I would hope that any wife or girlfriend would realize that guys are visual creatures and that Valentine's Day is not just all about the Lady.
She should go out of her way to do fun and exciting things to keep the spark and sizzle In...and boredom and coldness Out.


Guys should communicate what they like and be patient while the woman finds a level of comfort doing things which are outside of her comfort zone and/or personality.
I'm not talking weird stuff here.
I do know that many couples do not speak up and consequently they're both missing out on a great time and sometimes they become very frustrated in the process.


I'm just talking about the introduction of a feather boa on Valentine's Day...a day when it's perfectly normal to introduce steamy subjects. 
It's no longer taboo to talk about being playful...nor should it be.
You'll both take your intimacy to a whole new level...which will translate into all areas of your life...if you just turn up the volume on "playful".


Leave your troubles at the door and don't allow them to enter those private moments with your Valentine.


I have to say...I noticed that Feather Boas are not only "in" when it comes to "using" them....but it seems many crafters are using them to decorate for Valentine's Day...such as garland for a fireplace  mantel or wrapped around a foam topiary.


So get creative with your very versatile boa.
If you have any other ideas or want to share how you used yours...then please either leave a Comment or write me privately.
