A supremely practical guide to an art form you might not have thought you'd ever bring into your living room, The Striptease Kit includes a fantastic, detailed instruction booklet packed with charming, retro illustrations, plus saucy props like a scarf and body glitter. Best of all, though, is the Striptease Flash Card set, with step-by-step instructions for a variety of routines, like the "Hula Girl," the "Girl Next Door," and the "Hot Executive," complete with wardrobe advice and music suggestions. You don't need a perfect body, and you don't need to be a pro. We think this is a clever, empowering approach to turning up the heat with your sweetie. $25 at
