Didn't find what you were looking for on the rest of the site? Maybe some of these other sites can help.... Also, many of these businesses and sites are linked from specific suggestions.
Ask Virginia - a nice, sedate sort of site that has lots of ideas, particularly a great romantic music page.
Playboy.com - both the On Campus section (referenced here)and the Love & Sex sections of the free area have great advice from real women and real therapists on being a kinder, gentler (when you need to), better Romance-Guru.
SexualPositionsFree.com - an amusing and informative look at sexual positions demonstrated by posed figure-drawing mannequins. Lots of ideas presented in the fun and irreverent manner we love!
Clothes
Lingerie
Azzuma Fine Lingerie and Beachwear - a great selection of fine domestic (meaning U.S.) and imported lingerie. Get her some of the good stuff and she'll never wear that ugly stuff again! Or just go to the site and look at the pictures.
Carlisle & Company - another exceptional fine lingerie shop, though this site only contains contact information. They sell only from their stores in San Diego and La Jolla, CA, and do not sell on line.
Victoria's Secret - not the quality, comfort, or style you'll get above, but not the big prices either, and a great selection. What man hasn't been to this site?
Dresses
Nordstrom - Not quite the help you get from the store, but good selection of high test merchandise.
GreaterGood.com - One of those malls, but a portion of your purchase benefits real charities helping real people. Be a socially conscious Romance-Guru.
Also try these companies listed under other categories:
J. Jill - Another one of the catalogs men never mess with, but women love.
For Him
Land's Ends Direct Merchants - If you like the preppy look on your man, Land's End is probably the best place for Khakis and oxford cloth shirts. Also good if she likes crispy, starched, white shirts.
GreaterGood.com - Again, try the mall! A portion of your purchase benefits real charities helping real people. Be a socially conscious Romance-Guru.
Books and Stuff
Amazon.com - Need we say more? For specific suggestions for your Romance-Guru library, see our books page.
Borders Books & Music. - Our "hometown bookstore" at Romance-Guru. We love comparison shopping, and occasionally find Borders to have more creative recommendations.
BMG Music Service - Those annoying clubs that used to send you all of those magazines and all those discs/LPs (remember those?) you didn't want have gone dot com, and they are much "user friendlier" now. The Romance-Guru.com team swears by this and other online sites for all our music purchases.
Columbia House Music and Video online - Like BMG, very user friendly, and there are so many discs you can only find on one of the two sites. Our cost per disc delivered has hovered between $7 & $8
Gifts
Travel
Expedia.com - the best all around travel site we've found. Many people like the other biggie, Travelocity, but we have had trouble with navigation there, so we prefer Expedia.
Northwest Airlines - Romance-Guru.com is based out of Detroit, so we almost have to fly Northwest. Fortunately, their website is awesome. Someday their flights will be as good. (And their site is named for a famous rap group!)
Southwest Airlines - One of the best airlines anywhere (except for that no assigned seat thing.)
The Naked NewsAlright. Romance-Guru.com is by men, for men, and so is the Naked News. But everyone should just once enjoy the absolutely surreal image of a news anchor disrobing as she tells you about war, famine, pestilence, and death around the world.
