HOW TO WRITE ROMANTIC ATTRACTION FOR DUMMIES

For anyone who wants to learn, (especially aro/ACE, aspec, ect.)

Requested by the lovely @darkandstormydolls

Alrighty! Welcome back or welcome to my blog! I'm dipping my toes back into the category of posts that gained me my exposure!

So if you're here, you want to know how to write romantic attraction/romance!

Strap in and let's begin!

(Pls spread this to people you think would benefit from seeing it, or anyone who requested it bc I forgot, ANY ASPECS)

Step one -

Your characters must admire one another at the beginning, Romantic feelings usually do not present themselves as obvious until you really think them through, meaning your characters may not notice they have a crush until it's too late

These are general statistics and light stereotypes. So feel free to not use this tip:

Male characters usually tend to notice physical things first, like body shape, hair, skin, clothing, the way their lover moves, ect

And Female Characters Generally tend to notice more small things and personality-based traits first, like their lover's humor, speaking mannerisms, shifts in expression, ways they fidget, emotion in their voice, ect.

And someone who is in love will generally show more interest in this particular person's movements, actions, words, and anything in general.

Step 2 -

The character will show more interest in sharing their love language with their lover/crush

Physical touch - People with physical touch love languages may want to hold hands, cuddle, hug, or just lean on their crush whenever they are close to them moreso than they want to with others

Gift giving - Gift givers will want to get more gifts more often for their crush, probably thinking of them whenever they see little trinkets or wanting to get them big gifts for special occasions or signs of appreciation

Acts of Service - Acts of service people will offer to do extra favors and a bunch of extra stuff they don't have to do twice as much as normal

Words of Affirmation - Flattery, they will generally flood their crush with kind words and compliments

Quality time - Quality time people will want to spend time with their crush at almost every turn, and when they want company, will turn to their crush first

Step 3 -

After a while, these urges while become very prominent and more noticeable to the person having them

They may find themselves fantasizing about their crush or having them show up in their thoughts more and more, feeling nicer and happier when they're around, or when they're thinking about them

Smiling when they think about them, cutsey little fluff thingies like that

A crush is essentially: I want to date that, I want to be near that always, I want to marry that, I want that to snuggle me (or other love languages)

Or in simpler terms: if that asked me out, I would say yes (or at least want to say yes if your character is in denial)

Step 4 -

The character's urges to be close to this person grows strong enough that they do smth about it, whether prompted by another character. Or they just don't know I how to not anymore (like when you wanna eat candy and you don't want to, but you do anyway bc I JUST NEED THE CHOCOLATE OKAY?)

(Or for Aro/Ace, garlic bread)

People who are in love are generally very prone to be all dreamy and poetic and VERY EXTREMELY BIASED towards their crush

Then Yada Yada they kiss & shit

You're welcome, BYEEEEEEEE 👋

Happy writing!

Love you! Thanks for reading, And Ghost Tumblr Mother says go drink some water and have a snack, you've earned it, and you are beautiful <333

Have a good day! :]

His Temptress

part two of @celestialpoetry ‘s femme fatale request!

Enjoy;)

Henry’s point of view:

I kept her waiting for a week, to keep her on tip-toes as she kept me on mine for months. It was visible to me that she was waiting for me to make a move. I wanted to grip her hair and tell her: “Don’t be impatient, sweetheart.” But, I couldn’t, not yet anyway.

Then one day, I started sending her gifts. Small gifts, such as chocolates, flowers and little notes. At first I sent them to her school letterbox, which was usually always full due to some desperate notes from desperate first- or second-years. Everyone wanted her in Hampden. It gave me a big amount of satisfaction that only my gifts were the ones that made her smile.

“Oh, sweetheart, if only you knew I was just warming up… -Winter” I sent her this letter one day, which she replied to with a note to my own letterbox.

“Game on, Winter, I am longing to see the fire within you… -Y/L/N”

If she wanted a well-played game, then a well-played game she must get.

I sent her naughty notes such as:

“Beautiful dress, I bet that you would look better without them.”

“What pretty hair you have, sweetheart, if only it was wrapped around my fists.”

“Don’t you worry, I see how you’re trying to tempt me with that dangerously low-buttoned shirt. Shame that all of those fuckers get to drool on what’s mine.” I saw her opening this very note, and I saw the blush that crept up her cheeks and the shiver that ran down her spine.

So, of course, she got another one.

“What a pretty blushing little thing you are, I’m sure you blush as much when you have those hands between your graspable thighs, touching yourself to my notes… You like getting compliments, sweetheart?

But only mine wakes up the beast inside. -Winter.”

This time, I sent it to her apartment for dramatic effect. Luckily for me, Francis lived nearby, so I was able to get her address.

I sent some exotic chocolates that were labelled as an Aphrodisiac. I wanted her to be starving for me, just like I was starving for her. Her body, her skin, her touch, I wanted everything from her.

But the icebreaker was this…

A box full of tiny silky and lacy lingerie, paired with a little velvet box containing a pure gold necklace and a bottle of expensive perfume. And of course, a note.

“I want you to try these on, get your sweet scent on them and wear them when I take you out.

I will pick you up, Friday night, 6pm.

-Winter.”

She has been playing with me for weeks, it was time for me to claim my prize.

Third person’s point of view:

Y/N enjoyed this little game between them. At first, as much as she would never confess it, but she was eager for him to make a move. Then the little gifts with notes came, she certainly enjoyed the attention she was getting from him. The girls at school actually found him hot, but he was hers. Actually, she had noticed him the very first day she arrived at Hampden, and after it, she couldn’t stop thinking about him. His broad and tall frame caging her underneath him, his big hands wrapped up in her hair and around her throat, she even imagined them gripping her breasts and hips. She lusted after him.

Then, the notes came naughtier and they started arriving at her own door. It brought her satisfaction that he cared enough to find out her address, even if it was obvious to her that he got it from Abernathy. They were neighbours, he lived right across from her. He had a nice style and he always greeted her in the morning. There was a time where his car broke down, so she gave him her car whenever he needed to go into the centre of the city.

But, what made her the most hot was that he was actually right. She saved his notes, put his gifts all around her apartment as little trinkets and she touched herself while looking at them. Imagining him taking her in every position and on every surface he could.

When she received his gift with the date, she felt like dancing and cheering. She also appreciated that a man bothered to take her out on a proper date, rather than just inviting her up to their apartments so they could shag.

She loved that men were at her feet, but only gentlemen could kiss her ankles, and Henry Winter was a real gentleman. She enjoyed his gifts, and she was looking forward to getting spoiled by him.

When she tried on the dark red lingerie, she felt more sexy than ever, especially when she put on the necklace and the perfume. She looked like sex on legs, an alluring goddess. Of course, she immediately fell down on her sheets and opened up her legs so she could trace her fingers down to her wet heat. The expensive fabric created a nice friction against her clit. Y/n was satisfied, and not many men could have achieved that. He worked hard enough, he deserved a gift from her too.

She had taken up her entire friday afternoon to get ready for their date. She blew out her hair into Hollywood-curls, she did her makeup perfectly and precisely (she didn’t even minded that it was going to be messed as long as he fucked her) and put the perfume on along with the lace and necklace, just like he asked. She followed orders when she was asked nicely, really nicely.

She wore an amazing dress, a black one with golden details. And as a bonus, it hugged her curves perfectly and it showed a fair amount of clevage.

At precisely 6pm, a car stopped in front of her house.

Henry’s point of view:

I wore an all black suit and I stopped in front of her house, I got out of my car and walked up to her door with a red rose. I was raised to be gentle, women deserved to be spoiled, so of course I wasn’t going to just honk for her. I knocked, and before I knew it, the prettiest sight I ever saw was standing right in front of me. The dress, the perfume and the necklace made her look absolutely ravishing, or maybe it was just her. She was smirking at me with full lips that were painted in dark red, her eyes looked like one a siren would have. She must have been a siren in a past life of hers.

“Good evening, Y/N, you look very beautiful.” She greeted me back, I stepped forward, took her soft hand and gave her a kiss on her hand, which I felt that it made her breath hitch. “Here.” I gave her the roses “They are almost as beautiful and delicate as you, almost.”

“Thank you, for the roses and the compliment, you look… really handsome, Winter.” She caressed the petals of thee roses with her gentle fingers. “Let me just put them in water and get my coat.”

I waited for her and when she was ready, I guided her to the passengers seat and opened the door for her. “Ladies first.”

The ride was quiet, except from the radio, but there was a comfortable silence, just like in the library.

When we arrived at the restaurant, I felt pride rise within me at her surprise when we got escorted to our reservation in the very expensive restaurant.

I pulled her seat out for her and let my fingers graze her neck when she sat down. The waiter took our orders, I had whiskey on the rocks and she ordered a dirty vodka martini.

Our conversation was flowing easily, it was easy to talk to her, I just wanted more and more information about her. She seemed a bit sheepish when the waiter gave us the menu cards.

“Order whatever you’d like, the bill is taken care of.” I reached across the table and put my hand on top of her’s, she whispered thank you and smiled at me.

We talked and drank and smoked cigarettes. I loved making her laugh and I loved that she made me laugh. The orangish light made her more angelic than ever.

When we were having desert, I felt her high heels grazing and my ankles, teasingly stroking up and down.

“You really look gorgeous, Y/N, you really do.” She just giggled and I leaned closer to her. “I do hope that you will let me ruin you tonight, I cannot wait to fuck you until your legs are weak.” I whispered to her.

“Well, you were really spoiling me lately, and now of course, I never had anything more delicious… Or maybe I will in a bit.” She bit her lip and winked at me. God, she was telling me straightforwardly that she wanted to suck me off, that lit flames in me. I needed her, and I needed her now

“Are you finished with your dessert?” There was only a bit of cream on her plate, which of course she took advantage of, she wiped her finger on the plate and licked the white cream off erotically, with that devilish smirk of hers, obviously.

“Why? Impatient are we, Winter?”

“You bet, I am craving you, Miss Y/L/N.” We held eye contact and a few seconds later, she grabbed her purse in her lap and she spoke.

“Let’s go.”

I paid for their dinner and even gave a generous tip to the waiter. In the car, I put my hands on her naked thigh and squeezed her flesh.

“Thank you for dinner, I really did have a good time.” She put her hands on mine.

“Anything for you, darling, but I still have a little treat for you.” I parked the car in front of my house and guided her inside.

Her eyes were wide at the size of my place and at the scattered expensive antiques everywhere, but she didn’t have enough time to do so before I pushed her against the nearest wall and finally kissed her lips. They were so soft and plushy, I never wanted to stop, she heightened my senses to a level where I always wanted her.

She returned my kiss just as eagerly, I tapped her thighs and she jumped into my lap. I gripped her ass as if my life was at stake. I somehow found my way into my bedroom and put her gently down on the bed. I stood back to remove my shirt and pants. She tried to do the same with her dress, but I stopped her.

“Don’t.” I said when she reached behind herself to take off her dress. “I want to take it off you.”

She just chuckled softly. “Whatever you say, sir.” She said it in a tone that made me throb in my underwear, she may have even seen it.

I crawled on her and kissed her roughly again, my kisses migrated down to her jaw and neck, where I inhaled scent. I was face to face with her again and I gripped her blushing cheeks. “Listen, if we are doing this, I don’t want you to do it because you believe I deserve it… I want you to do it because you purely want to. If you don’t, I’ll understand and it will be perfectly fine.” I gave her kisses on her face while whispering.

She pulled me in for a kiss again, I knew that she was craving me as much as I craved her. “I want to, I really want to.” She guided my hands to the straps of her dress and motioned me to pull it down. “I want you to fuck me senseless.”

I grinned, like a cat who got the cream. “Fuck you? What a dirty mouth you have, darling.”

I pulled her dress down and took her heels off her feet. I nearly orgasmed when I saw her under me, in the lacy and barely covering lingerie that I gifted her. Her hair was sprawled across my pillow. I kissed her until I couldn’t breath and I took the precious time to kiss her anywhere.

“My god, you are truly divine.” I left marks on her neck and collarbones. “How gorgeous, this swan-like neck…” I helped her out of her bra, her perky and full breasts right in front of my eyes. I kissed all across her chest and her breasts, I sucked and bit her nipples. “These beautiful breasts…” I kissed her lower, her waist and hips. “Your flesh that I want to hold all the time…” I went all the way down to her ankles and thighs. “Such soft and silky skin…” I pulled the lace off her legs, I kissed the insides of her thighs, and I inhaled her scent so deeply. “And this pretty cunt that is my personal heaven from now on…” I licked a long stripe from her opening to her clit, she whimpered at my every move, but now she let out a full throaty moan. “All mine. No one else gets to smell, taste and take this pussy, right darling?” I stuck my tongue into her.

She gripped my hair. “Yes, YES! All yours! Every part of me!” She was deep in pleasure. So, I ate her out as if my life depended on it. I sucked on her clit, I fucked her with my tongue. I felt her wetness covering half of my face, but I could tell by her noises that she enjoyed it as much as I did.

I took two fingers and I circled her entrance, and slowly pushed them in. “How warm and tight, darling, I cannot wait to feel you completely.” I dived my head back between her thighs. My fingers and mouth were working in perfect unison, and looking up at her, I needed to pathetically grind down on the mattress from the sight.

“All the stupid little boys would cum in the pants from this sight… But, you need a proper man to fuck you, don’t you darling? Someone who cares more about your pleasure, your pleasure is mine.” My fingers started plunging into her more fast and deep, her moans increasing with my every move. I kissed and suckled her clit, which was red and puffy. Her scent lingered all around the room, and I was sipping it up right from the source. “So sweet, I could have you like this everyday, I bet you would love that… I could put you to sleep with my head between these thighs, and wake you up with my tongue. You deserve to be spoiled, with gifts and orgasms.“

“Uh-huh! I want that! I want to taste you too, your pleasure is mine, too. Ah~ Don’t stop!” She gripped my hair for dear life, I could feel her walls closing up on my fingers, her little nub throbbing and suddenly… A big gush of clear liquid was running down my throat, I drank it up as if it was my ambrosia, it for sure was.

“Did you just squirt?”

“Yeah…”

“Do you do that everytime?”

“No, this was my first time that it happened with someone else, I can barely do that on my own.” She heaved, still in the haze of her orgasm.

Everytime I kissed her entrance or clit, she gushed a bit more. I did that until she pushed my head away.

I crawled up to her face and kissed her deeply, she hummed at the taste of herself, but she still clung to my hair for more.

I laid down on my side and caressed her hair, her eyes were hooded and relaxed, and still so full of lust.

“Wow… That was the best thing I ever felt.”

“I’m glad I could make you feel this good, I did mean it. I want to spoil you, to worship you.” I let my fingers stroke her side and occasionally her breast. “Are you tired?”

She suddenly straddled meg and her hair was shielding the room from my face. “Not at all, Winter, I don’t tire out so easily.” She laughed and she leant down to kiss me deeply, she liked kissing and getting kissed, it seemed.

She did the same thing I did to her, she kissed all around my face, jaw and she suckled at my neck. She left marks all around my chest and she caught my skin between her teeth many times, she was revelling in the shivers that were running up and down my spine. She left kisses all around my pelvis and kissed down at my V line. “Mhm, so toned and sharp.” she dragged a red nailed finger down my muscles and her eyes darkened when they contracted under it.

She rubbed me though my underwear, her eyes were shining with lust and the need to please. My cock was nearly tearing at my boxers, I am naturally a tall and big man, so it shouldn’t be surprising that my dick was long and thick, but she nearly lost her mind, when finally, after long minutes of teasing, she took me out.

“Oh-Wow.” She started pumping me and just feeling me up.

“Yeah.” She didn’t even hear me, probably. She was probably lost in imaging me inside of her, fucking her dumb.

She muttered under her breath, with naughty eyes. “So big and warm, and oh-” she kissed my tip, which was dripping with precum, just eager to get finally lost in her precious cunt. “So sweet.”

She wanted to suck me dry, but I was waiting for this, for such a long time. I needed to feel her. I harshly fisted her hair and she moaned, the lusty minx. I pulled her up and flipped us, so I was on top of her.

“Another time, darling.” I reached forward to open my drawer and took out a condom, which I rolled on quickly on myself. I leaned back and marvelled at the sight, her chest heaving, her tits heavy and perky, my knees pulling her legs apart, which made her pussy spread out right in front of my cock, just dripping and clenching around nothing. “Beg me.”

“Please, Henry, fuck me.” I shuffled my hips closer, so my tip was touching her entrance. My thumb wandered to her clit and I started rubbing in little circles, which made her squirm under me.

“You’re going to have to try harder than that.” My thumb fastened up.

“Please, please, please! Fuck me stupid, use me on every surface. I want it so bad.” I got her exactly where I had wanted her to be, desperate and begging for me. “You were right! I was touching myself to the thought of you, so much. Please…”

“What a good girl you are, you deserve to be fucked nicely. Let me show you what no one else can.” With that, I lined myself up and slowly pushed into her. I went slow, so I wouldn’t cause her any pain, but she was taking it like a champion. Her walls were welcoming me in, but her face scrunched up, while I was nearly all the way in. I twisted her silky hair between my pointer finger. “Shh, it’s okay. I am nearly fully in, you’re doing so good.”

When a bottomed out in her, we both released a sigh of relief. She was tight and I could feel myself pressing into the heavenly spongy spot inside of her. Her eyes were hooded and her mouth a tad open.

“You feel so good, Henry.” She reached up and pulled my face closer to hers. “You can move, please do.” She whispered with a voice dripping with seduction, so I did. I slowly started moving in and out of her.

Her sweet vanilla scent enveloped me completely. We were both lost in each other. Her slender legs were wrapping themselves around my waist, making me slide into her deeper. I was hitting deliciously against her cervix, and she pulled me into her embrace.

That was everything, her embrace. Feeling her breast push flat against my chest, her soft hair tickling my skin and her walls gripping me, pulling me closer to my release.

I reached between us, somehow managing through the tight space between our bodies, and I rubbed her clit. Her voice got whiny and louder, it was music to my ears and it indicated that she was getting close.

“Henry! I’m-OH GOD!” She pulled her nails down my back and I groaned , she was marking me and leaving scratches down my back, I loved it.

“I know, darling, I know.” I sped up and with a loud moan she came undone under me. I felt myself release into the condom. “Oh, what a good girl.”

I hauled her panting body in my arm and caressed her sweaty skin. “You did so so good, my dear.”

“Mmm…” Her eyes were cloudy, she was still in subspace, an adorable little thing. I let her rest in my arms for a bit and I pulled out of her.

“Give me a second.” I made my way to the bathroom connected to my bedroom and I made a bubble bath for her, vanilla scented of course. I went back to gather her up in bridal style. “Come on, let’s get you cleaned up.” She nuzzled closer into my chest.

I helped do what she needed and I guided her into the bath, and I went in behind her.

I held her and caressed her skin. “My dear, it was amazing.”

“Yes, it was more than that, I would love it if we could do this frequently.” She turned around in the water and rested her pretty face on my chest, she looked up with her beautiful eyes, I could have watched them all night. “I would like to be yours, and I want you to be mine.”

“Yes, I would love that, my dear.”

So we laid there, bathed each other and just held each other.

“My temptress, I will give you everything that you ever want.”

Food Questionaire Tag!

Tagged here by @wyked-ao3

Rules: Answer the food-related questions provided using the voices of your OCs. The yummier the descriptions, the better!

I will be kidnapping Joyce from WSFTI because she seems very loved and Aurelia also from WSTFI

what is one comfort meal that'll change your whole mood for the day?

Joyce: I love love LOVEEEE the fresh apple pie that Lia makes me and Aunt Vicky makes the BESTTTT hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies! Aunt Vicky can't have any of it so there is always extra for me! Aurelia: Joyce, dear, they meant meal. Not dessert. Joyce: Whatever. Your turn, Lia! Aurelia: I really enjoy a nice garden salad with a poppy seed dressing. Joyce: Ew.

what is an experience (good or bad) that has turned you off or on to a food completely?

Joyce: I was eating a jam cookie Lia made and wasn't told it was rhubarb and strawberry jam so when I bit into it I got the stringy rhubarb and threw up. I can't have jam cookies anymore. I liked jam cookies. Aurelia: It was my cookie. You stole it. Joyce: It was still gross! Aurelia: Fine. Okay. I don't believe my story is appropriate for young ears. I can no longer eat or look at meat. I have gained an addiction to apple pie from when Aereth made some with me, it was a mess and we ate most of the filling before we could cook it. The kitchen was a mess, we got in so much trouble.

if you could eliminate one piece of produce, meat, dairy or sweets off the earth what would it be?

Joyce: Chicken. It's so gross looking and feeling when raw, it makes me sick. I also don't like cheesey cheeses, it's too much cheese especially when eaten alone. I also don't like lettuce, it's gross. Celery and rhuarb are stringy, I don't eat them. Aurelia: Oh my gods. I will sound like such a child but I hate carrots. They're hard and taste gross.

and dessert is normally saved for last, but if you could what would you order for your entree at a restaurant?

Joyce: Spinach dip! Or mozerella sticks! What if we dip the mozerella sticks in the dip? I'll be back later, I need to do this! Aurelia: Joyce! That isn't- get back here! Fine, go try your thing. I like a nice apple turnover, Joyce loves anyting chocolatey or apple. She has my tastes.

what are some food fusions that should never be mixed?

Aurelia: This will be so weird but I don't like crackers or noodles in or with soup. Joyce loves them so I just give her my noodles or crackers. She thinks the second a vegetable is added a dish is ruined. Don't tell her but I add vegetables in all of her food.

what food spot are you gatekeeping and why?

Aurelia: Don't tell anyone but there is this little Dyntian spot in Flightsylvania that Drewy and I visit at least once a week. It's run by the sweetest old couple, I think they adotpted us as their's. Drew and I help out around and bring them gifts. Joyce will be annoyed but she loves this one ice cream truck. We don't want to have to make reservations or wait in line so keep this quiet.

cooking is a life skill, why haven't you started learning yet!?

Aurelia: I'm a fairly good cook, it's Joyce's excuse for not learnng to cook because she says that Vicky and I cook well enough that she never has to learn.

Is there a smell that reminds you of something you never want to remember?

Aurelia: Raw meat.

Interact here to be added to my taglist.

The Perfect Pair: Cake Cards and Letterbox Gifts for Every Occasion

When it comes to celebrating special moments, few things can match the joy of receiving a beautifully crafted cake card tucked inside a thoughtful letterbox gift. These delightful combinations bring a personal touch to celebrations, whether it’s a birthday, an anniversary, or simply a gesture of appreciation. At MailBakes, we specialize in creating these unique experiences, allowing you to express your sentiments through the art of cake cards and letterbox gifts.

The Art of Cake Cards

A cake card is not just a card; it’s an edible masterpiece that carries heartfelt messages and emotions. Traditionally, cake cards were simple notes accompanying baked goods, but they have evolved into intricate designs that often reflect the personality of the sender or the recipient. With flavors ranging from rich chocolate to light vanilla and everything in between, cake cards can be customized to suit anyone's palate.

Imagine a beautiful card made from a cake-like structure, adorned with vibrant icing and decorations. The beauty of cake cards lies in their versatility. They can be crafted for any occasion—be it a wedding, a milestone birthday, or even a simple thank you. Each bite is infused with love, making it a memorable experience for anyone fortunate enough to receive one.

Why Choose Letterbox Gifts?

Letterbox gifts have gained popularity for their convenience and charm. These gifts are designed to fit snugly in a letterbox, eliminating the hassle of missed deliveries. The idea of receiving a delightful package right through your mail slot adds an element of surprise and excitement.

At MailBakes, our letterbox gifts are thoughtfully curated, often including not just cake cards but also a selection of gourmet treats, personalized messages, and other delightful surprises. This makes them an ideal choice for sending love, encouragement, or congratulations from afar. Whether you're reaching out to a friend in need or celebrating a loved one’s achievement, letterbox gifts make it easy to show you care.

The Benefits of Combining Cake Cards and Letterbox Gifts

Combining cake cards with letterbox gifts enhances the overall experience. Here are a few reasons why this combination is perfect for any occasion:

Personal Touch

In a digital age dominated by emails and text messages, a physical card is a wonderful way to convey feelings. Cake cards add that extra flair, making your gesture stand out. They allow for personalized messages that reflect your relationship with the recipient, turning a simple gift into a cherished keepsake.

Memorable Experiences

Receiving a cake card nestled within a beautifully packaged letterbox gift creates a multi-sensory experience. The anticipation of unwrapping the gift, followed by the delightful surprise of the cake card, makes it an unforgettable moment. It's not just about the gift itself; it's about the joy and excitement that come with it.

Convenience

With letterbox gifts, you can send a thoughtful surprise without worrying about delivery logistics. They can be shipped directly to the recipient’s door, making it easy to celebrate those you love, no matter the distance. And with a cake card included, you can ensure that your sentiment is delivered alongside a delicious treat.

Versatility

Whether it’s a joyous celebration or a comforting gesture, cake cards and letterbox gifts can be tailored to fit any occasion. At MailBakes, we offer a wide range of options, allowing you to choose flavors, designs, and themes that suit the event. From festive holidays to simple “just because” gifts, the possibilities are endless.

Creative Ideas for Using Cake Cards and Letterbox Gifts

To make the most of your cake cards and letterbox gifts, consider these creative ideas:

Birthday Surprises: Send a personalized cake card along with a selection of the recipient’s favorite snacks to celebrate their special day.

Get Well Soon: Brighten someone’s day with a cake card that has uplifting messages, paired with comforting treats to lift their spirits.

Thank You Gifts: Express gratitude with a cake card that conveys your appreciation, nestled in a letterbox filled with delightful goodies.

Seasonal Celebrations: Customize your cake card and letterbox gift according to the season, adding thematic elements that resonate with the time of year.

Conclusion

In a world where digital communication often overshadows personal connections, cake cards and letterbox gifts offer a delightful way to bridge the gap. The combination of these two thoughtful gestures creates a memorable experience that your loved ones will cherish. At MailBakes, we believe that every occasion deserves a special touch, and our cake cards and letterbox gifts are designed to make every moment feel extraordinary.

Some services pride themselves on their extensive selection of exotic blooms, perfect for creating a one-of-a-kind bouquet that will wow your recipient.

The convenience of online ordering is another key feature to look out for – with just a few clicks, you can have a stunning arrangement en route to make someone's special day even brighter. Many services also offer customizable bouquets, allowing you to add a personal touch with favorite colors or specific flower choices.

Additionally, some flower delivery companies provide extra goodies like chocolates, balloons, or personalized cards to accompany your floral gift. These little touches can elevate your present and create an unforgettable birthday surprise. So take note of these distinctive features when selecting the perfect service for sending birthday flower bouquets in London!

Pricing comparison and value for money

When it comes to choosing the best flower delivery service for birthday gifts in London, considering pricing and value for money is crucial. Each service offers different price points based on factors like bouquet size, flower types, and additional gift options.

Some services may have introductory deals or discounts for first-time customers, providing excellent value for those looking to send a beautiful birthday surprise without breaking the bank. Others may offer subscription services or loyalty programs that can save you money in the long run if you frequently send flowers.

It's essential to compare prices across various platforms to ensure you're getting the best deal possible while still receiving high-quality blooms and reliable delivery service. Remember that cost isn't everything - consider factors like customer reviews, bouquet customization options, and additional gift offerings when evaluating the overall value of each flower delivery service.

Customer reviews and ratings

Customer reviews and ratings play a significant role in helping us choose the best flower delivery service for birthday gifts in London. Reading through feedback from other customers can give us valuable insights into the quality of products and services offered by different companies.

Positive reviews highlighting quick delivery times, fresh and beautiful flowers, and excellent customer service are key indicators of a reliable service.

It's essential to take these reviews with a grain of salt and consider the overall sentiment before making a decision. Some platforms offer detailed ratings based on various factors such as bouquet presentation, value for money, and recipient satisfaction, providing a comprehensive overview.

By taking the time to read customer reviews and ratings, we can make informed choices when selecting the best flower delivery service for our loved ones' birthdays in London.

Whether you're looking for a classic bouquet with a modern twist or something bold and extravagant, each flower delivery service has its own signature style that sets them apart. From elegant hand-tied arrangements to whimsical floral designs, there is something for every taste and occasion.

Take advantage of these unique offerings to make your birthday gift extra special and unforgettable.

Additional gift options such as chocolates, balloons, and personalized cards

When it comes to birthday gifts, sometimes a bouquet of flowers alone might not be enough to truly express your love and appreciation for the special person in your life. This is where additional gift options like chocolates, balloons, and personalized cards come into play.

Imagine surprising your loved one with a beautiful bouquet of their favorite flowers accompanied by a box of decadent chocolates. The combination of sweet treats and fragrant blooms will surely put a smile on their face!

Adding colorful balloons to the mix can make the birthday celebration even more festive and joyful. Whether you choose helium-filled balloons or ones with fun designs, they are sure to add an extra element of excitement to the occasion.

Personalized cards are another thoughtful touch that can elevate your gift-giving experience. A heartfelt message written specifically for the recipient can convey emotions that words alone cannot express.

By including these additional gift options alongside a stunning flower bouquet, you can create a truly unforgettable birthday surprise for your loved one.

Tips for choosing the perfect bouquet for a birthday gift

When it comes to choosing the perfect bouquet for a birthday gift, consider the recipient's preferences and personality. Think about their favorite colors, flowers, and scents. If they love vibrant hues, opt for a bouquet with bold blooms like sunflowers or lilies. For someone who prefers softer tones, a pastel arrangement of roses or tulips might be ideal.

Another tip is to take into account the occasion and setting. If the birthday celebration is taking place in a formal setting, a classic bouquet of elegant white flowers can add sophistication. On the other hand, if it's a casual gathering or outdoor party, a wildflower arrangement could bring a more relaxed vibe.

Consider adding personal touches to your bouquet selection. Choose flowers that hold special meanings or significance to create an emotional connection. You can also customize the bouquet by including their favorite blooms or incorporating unique elements like succulents or herbs for added charm.

Don't forget about the presentation! Opt for flower delivery services that offer stylish packaging and include personalized cards with heartfelt messages. The way you present the birthday bouquet can make all the difference in creating a memorable gifting experience.

Conclusion: Final thoughts on the best flower

In the vibrant and bustling city of London, finding the perfect birthday gift can be a delightful experience, especially when it involves beautiful flower bouquets.

ryden bolt @wolfontheloose

the ring he saw in a pawn shop window, a nice price that wasn’t too much and he felt it perfect for the alpha. rafael didn’t put it in a box, thinking it was perhaps too formal that way, slipping it simply into the envelope with the christmas card. the wolf wasn’t good with words, a simple; merry christmas ryden. have a good one. written inside.

bellamy barnes @thebellamybarnes

the box is wrapped in the same black and silver as other larger presents rafael has given people. raf’s dropped it off at erzsebet’s, tag on the front reading; merry christmas bella. if you hate it, feel free to regift it. i don’t know shit about womens fragrance, the shop assisstant just said this one was popular. from, raf.

micah weber @micah-weber

much like ryden’s, this has been put into the same envelope as his card mainly due to it being a gift card of sorts. rafael’s put it through the others letterbox, hoping that micah will get some use out of it - simply a pre-loaded gift card for myprotein so he can get what he likes to aid with working out, $15 total. like the others, a short message is written; happy christmas & a good new year to you micah. see you around.

celine flores @celinecerberus

it’s the only one rafael has put in a bag, and that’s because he’s been thoughtful enough to include some chocolates for celine’s children, despite not needing to. the woman’s own present is in a brochure that advertises treatments, as rafael has bought her two tickets for a spa day on the outskirts of opulence - the spare so she might take a friend. merry christmas celine, hope you get some use out of these. have a good day however you choose to spend it. from, raf.

Valentine’s Day with Zach I BEG

Words: 1300 ~ Warnings: leaving baby with a sitter for the first time; breastfeeding, fluff. Pairing: Zach Wellison x OFC Jade Yuan, from my full-length fic,  Fighting Blind

*****

“Zach! Emma’s here!” I called up the stairs.

“One sec, baby,” he called back.

Emma swept in the door and held out her arms for baby Mae, who lurched forward out of my grasp, towards her aunt.

Emma grinned. “Yeah. You know who your favourite Aunt is.” She cuddled Mae close, kissed her explosion of black hair.

I rolled my eyes. “That baby does not know which side her bread is buttered.”

Emma leaned forward, kissed my cheek. “Happy Valentine’s. You look amazing.”

“Thanks.” I smoothed my hand down the front of the new pale gold dress, nipped in at the waist, striped with caramel. “I felt something new was in order, now the twenty-four hour breastmilk cafe is shut.”

Emma laughed; narrowly dodged a poke in the eye from Lin Mae.

Footsteps on the stairs made me turn, and, as he often did, my husband took my breath away.

He wore an open suit jacket over a crisp, storm-grey shirt, open at the neck. He’d paired it with dark jeans that hugged his legs, and the leather ankle boots I’d given him for his last birthday. His hair was just a little scruffy, and his patchy beard was growing in nicely, just how I liked it.

He stopped on the last stair. “Hi, Emma. Thanks for coming.” 

Then his gaze lingered on me. 

“Wow.”

I turned a full circle. “You like it?”

“A lot.”

We gazed at each other for a long moment before Emma cleared her throat. “So, are you going out, or what? Mae and I have stuff to do.”

I blushed, leaned down to kiss my daughter. “Mummy and Daddy will be back tomorrow, okay, sweet pea?” I levelled by gaze with Emma. “Are you sure this is okay?”

“Yes, mum. I’ve babysat her before, you know.”

I worried my lower lip with my teeth. “But not overnight.”

“It’s okay.  If she doesn’t go to sleep, I’ll spike her milk with whiskey. How much do you give? One or two fingers?”

At Zach’s look of abject horror, Emma cackled and kissed Mae noisily. “We got them good, didn’t we? Didn’t we?”

Mae laughed uproariously.

“Say bye bye to mummy and daddy, baby girl,” Emma encouraged as Zach held out my coat,

I leaned down and kissed her soundly, breathing in the sweet baby scent she still had at eleven months. Her hair was soft as down, her skin like the finest silk. “Love you, my little babe.”

“Mum-mum,” she squealed. At least I chose to believe that was what she said. Most of her “words” were still unintelligible.

Zach took my place and gathered Mae into his arms. Seeing him, so unspeakably gentle with her, made my heart squeeze. “Be a good girl for Aunt Emma, okay, mija?”

He’d said once that Pero would have called a daughter mija. Those tiny things, little threads of connection to my husband from another lifetime, never failed to warm me from the inside out.

Zach kissed Mae’s forehead, and then her tiny mouth.

She giggled. “Dun-a!”

Which we assumed meant: Dada. Who knew. Zach chose to believe that and I encouraged it.

Emma took the baby back. “Come on. How are we supposed to crack out the face masks and talk about boys if you’re hanging around? Parents are such a drag.”

“We’re going!” I tugged Zach’s hand.

He gave Mae’s cheek one last stroke and then - we were free.

The door shut behind us.

Zach pushed open the letterbox. “Don’t forget you can call if you need anything! Anything at all!”

“I can’t hear you, you’re meant to be on a date!” Emma yelled back.

I took Zach’s hand and tangled our fingers. “You okay?”

“Hard to say. I think so? I don’t know. I wanna go back and hold her again. Is this normal?”

I leaned into him. “Pretty sure it is,”

Our Uber pulled up just as he glanced back at the door. I tugged his hand.

“Big, bad Marine missing his baby already?”

Zach huffed, but held the car door open for me. “Marines never leave a man - or daughter - behind.”

I kissed him as we buckled our seatbelts. 

“Bootcamp was a breeze compared to this,” he muttered.

We made small talk with the cab driver as he ferried us to Babylon Restaurant in Kensington. Perched atop Kensington Roof Gardens, it boasted beautiful views, and, thankfully for us, price tags that didn’t make my eyes water. Much.

The owners had decorated tastefully for Valentine’s, a squat vase of big, fat roses on each table, small heart balloons, helium filled, covering the ceiling, candles placed strategically to avoid sleeves and waitstaff.

“Whoa,” Zach murmured. “When they said it was fancy, I didn’t expect - do you like it?”

I squeezed his hand as we waited in the doorway. “I do like it, but what I like most about it is that I’m here with you.”

Our table overlooked trees strewn with tiny fairy lights that glowed gold in the dark, chilly evening.

When we weren’t eating or drinking, we held hands. Did we spend the whole evening talking about Mae and looking at pictures of her? 

Yes.

Did Zach text Emma a dozen times to ask how his daughter was? 

Also yes.

Her most recent reply: “You’re interrupting me teaching her how to do tequila shots.”

But... was it perfect? Undoubtedly.

We fed each other bits of dessert - a cloud-soft tiramisu sprinkled with rose-gold petals of the thinnest chocolate - and lingered over the post prandial coffee and mints.

The street lamps were all on, and my breath formed clouds in the air as we walked to our hotel.

“Feels like playing hooky,” Zach laughed as we walked. “Do you think she misses us?”

“Of course she does.”

He gave me the side-eye. “Am I pathetic? Am I that crazy dad?”

“You didn’t wear sleeveless vests in Summer. Much,” I clarified. “You’re a great father, Zach. The best I could wish for.”

He paused under a streetlamp. The soft golden glow caught on his face of planes and angles, illuminating his soft brown eyes, the stubborn curve of his nose. 

“What do you think he’d have been like?”

“Pero?” I reached up and cupped his scruffy cheek. “You tell me.”

“Sometimes I feel like I’ve taken this from him. You know? Taken you. But I can’t feel guilty about it,” he added, scowling. “I won’t.”

“I would never want you to.”

“Good.” He pulled me into a kiss, one hand in my hair, cradling the back of my neck.  “I love you so much, Jade. Enough for a thousand lifetimes.”

“I love you, too.”

He lifted my hand, kissed the leather bracelet around my wrist. He wore a matching one, leather bonded with the ribbon bracelets Mae’s namesake had gifted Pero and I, in another life. “Let’s go do things we can’t do with a baby in the house,” he whispered, cheekily, his dimple flashing. “Wanna see what’s under this dress.”

“We have to get back to the hotel first,” But still I pressed into him, feeling the hard line of his erection flush against my belly, and desire pooled between my legs, hot and urgent. A taxi pootled past us, music drifting lowly from the half-open driver’s window, and across the road, 

He nipped at my neck, the scruff tickling. “You’re no fun.”

“You can revise that statement when you see what I’m wearing under my clothes.”

And he did.
