goodnight kisses

Tuck-in lip touches

Goodnight kisses are kisses exchanged at bedtime or parting for the night, typically between family members, romantic partners, or close friends.

The phrase evokes warmth and ritual—the small intimacy that closes the day: She gave the children their goodnight kisses.

We never go to sleep without goodnight kisses.
