warming trend.
things will get glowing in the bedroom with jimmyjane ember natural emollient massage candles ($48). these paraffin-free candles burn cleanly at a low temp, leaving the wax warm enough for bedtime play - without fear of burns. the packaging is elegant and the fragrance combos pair known aphrodisiacs, like truffle and gardenia. available at new london pharmacy. 246 eighth avenue. between 22nd and 23rd. 212.243.4987. www.jimmyjane.com


queen of hearts.

only you.
gucci's not the only one who loves new york. onlyhearts celebrates 30 years in the city by reissuing their iconic heart print ($18-76) just in time for V-day. vixens need not apply; the pantis, bras and camis are sweet and demure, but sexy all the same. 230 mott street. between prince and spring. 212.431.3694. www.onlyhearts.com

get your fix.
think like a boy scout and be prepared. tuck the sleek, brushed metal tin of oral fixation mints ($2.99) in your clutch and get ready to hit the town. these mints keep breath endlessly fresh with nine unique flavors, including "7 deadly cinnamon," "jasmints" and "antioximint green tea." available at dean & deluca. 560 broadway. at prince. 212.226.6800. www.oralfix.com
