A Merry Little Spark: The Gift of Playful Intimacy this christmas
By Francie Winslow
Sometimes, all it takes is one new idea, one shared smile, or one unexpected gift to breathe fresh life into your marriage. Over the years, one of my favorite resources to share has been the Merry Marriage Gift Guide—a playful, intentional collection of ideas to help you connect, giggle, and grow closer as husband and wife.
This guide isn’t just a list of products. It’s an invitation. An invitation to see your marriage as a garden that can be continually cultivated with beauty, delight, and yes, even a bit of adventure. Whether it’s a cozy picnic kit for a spontaneous winter date, a sensual candle that melts into massage oil, or a playful bundle to explore new waves of pleasure—each gift idea is curated with your connection in mind.
What I love most is hearing how couples take this guide and run with it—getting creative, giggling more, and even courageously stepping into conversations and experiences they’ve never had before. It’s often the shared spark of something new, something just between the two of you, that becomes the sweetest part of the season.
And if you're not sure where to start? Just sit down together, skim the guide, and see what catches your eye. Let it spark laughter, curiosity, and maybe a little forethought about how you want to end your year…closer, more connected, and delighting in the gift of one another.
Whether you’re buying a gift or simply dreaming up new ways to bless your beloved, may this guide stir up fresh joy and intimacy in your home this Christmas. Because your marriage matters—and it’s worthy of celebration.
With hope and joy,
Francie
