Imagine your love coming home from a long day at work to find your home transformed into an inviting Eastern encounter for two. As they look around they'll find you sitting there in your kimono, pouring a cup of sake, waiting to tend to their every need. The perfect encounter? I think so!
What you'll need:
- Stir fry and a wok, or Chinese takeout, chop sticks.
- Pillows, with an oriental pattern.
- Soft oriental rug.
- Flowers, such as lotus blossoms, white lilies and orchids, and maybe a bonsai tree.
- Jasmine incense or some other oriental scent.
- Chinese lanterns.
- Oriental music.
- Sake or Chinese tea.
- Chinese massage oils and bath salts.
- Kimonos or robes.
While your love is at work, re-arrange the furniture in the room so that you have a lot of floor space. Lay out the rug, pillows, and flowers on the floor in a comfortable, romantic pattern. Light the candles, lanterns and incense and place them in safe areas.
Dress yourself in a comfortable Chinese kimono or robe, and have some appropriate clothing laid out for your love. Just before you expect them to be home, lay out the sake, or hot Chinese herbal tea and run them a hot bath. Use plenty of bath salts to create a nice relaxing aroma, and put on some soft oriental music. Soft lighting is also very important in setting the perfect mood.
When they arrive, be waiting for them, drinking a cup of sake or tea. Greet them with a bow and gently remove their shoes and heavy clothing. Seat them on a comfortable pillow and give them a cup of sake. Next, lead them to the bathroom, undress and bathe them. When you are done, leave them to soak and relax in the bath tub while you set up the food.
This could be an incredible experience for both of you. And what better way to show them how much you love and appreciate them than with a night of Eastern pampering?
