Put some holiday spirit into your bondage games! 6 ways you can reuse your holiday items for bondage!
Candy canes! Ribbons! Beautifully-wrapped gifts! Holiday spirits and holiday sales! With all of the hallmarks of the holiday season floating around, it's easy to get wrapped up in it all - literally. In fact, there's no reason why you
can't use the exact same festive items that you use to celebrate the
holidays to celebrate a bit of steamy romance in the bedroom; many of them are great for bondage! Plus, a little intimate time with your partner might just be the holiday gift you were hoping for.
Repurposing Holiday Ribbons and Bows
With a little bit of creativity, many holiday items can be put to kinky purposes. Gift wrap, holiday decor, ribbons and gift bags can make simple bondage items - and they're easy to use too. Feel free to use your imagination, but try these simple ideas to get your inspiration flowing:
Thick Ribbon
Collect those thick ribbons left behind from gifts and you'll likely have enough to reuse for your personal enjoyment later on. Large, thick ribbon can be fantastic to wrap around the head as a makeshift blindfold. Just make sure the gift-giver didn't use staples or other adhesives to fasten the ribbon to the gift. Also, be careful about ribbons with glitter or other bits that can get into the eyes.
Standard-Sized Gift Bags
The fabric
gift bag that once held your newest kitchen appliance can now become
your newest friend in the bedroom. This gift bag can now work as a
face hood for your partner. Slip the bag over your partner's head - it's a festive (if a little funny) face hood! Make sure your partner
can still breathe easily, and avoid tying the strings. Feel free to have a bit of a giggle too. This should be fun!
Over-Sized Gift Bags
Don't want your partner going anywhere? Oversized gift bags might be the holiday-themed answer. Simply stuff your partner's legs into the bag, tie it shut and restrain their hands. Keep this one for playing in a seated or reclined position - making a getaway with bound legs could lead to injury.
Wrapping Paper
Did you go a bit overboard this year buying wrapping paper? Fortunately, it can work fantastically for a mummification. Start off by seating your partner on a flat surface such as the bed or the floor. From there, from the waist down, use plastic wrap to wrap layers around their legs. Once you've done that (and have them fully bound), you can wrap more layers of gift wrap around their legs for a festive partial mummification. Just make sure you have safety shears to cut them out when you're done!
Christmas Decor You Don't Mind Losing
A lot of yard decor can be fantastic for spankings - especially if you don't mind breaking it. Dollar-store decor like plastic candy canes can be fun and festive to use. Enjoy using your fit-for-disposal outdoor decorations or pick up some new ones. Just be aware that your spanking is likely to break the item! (And of course, don't continue using it - spanking or otherwise - once the item is broken.)
Unheated Christmas Lights
Consider adding a bit of an erotic slant to your holiday lighting before you pack it away for next year. As long as the lights don't feel hot to the touch, any piece of holiday lighting can be used as a fun and erotic way to explore each other's bodies - and maybe even experiment with photography! In the dark, feel free to plug in the lights and use them to highlight some of your favorite areas for your partner. Netting-style lighting could be used to illuminate your entire partner while they lay down and enjoy your personal attention between the squares of the lighting.
Safety First!
I hope these ideas will help you look at holiday decor in a whole new light. Feel free to let your creativity lead the way! That said, there are a few things you should definitely avoid.
