Contributors: Betty Butch & Tawney Seren
The holiday season has arrived! Whether it snuck up on you, or you’ve been counting down the weeks with joyous anticipation, the holidays are here – and so are the best deals on sex toys!
Sex toys can make excellent gifts to eagerly consenting recipients. They provide new and unique sensations. They shake up routines and encourage sexual exploration. They heighten pleasure and intimacy.
When you’re done shoveling snow, honoring holiday traditions, or indulging in tasty seasonal treats, sprawling out in bed (or the bath) with a new favorite toy will the height of bliss. Sex toys – with or without a partner – can transform your pleasure routine year-round.
Pleasure is worth putting at the top of your list. And we have plenty of suggestions! Gifts for yourself, presents to share with partner(s), and toe-curling orgasms await you in our 2019 Gift Guide!
Gifts for solo play
Holiday shopping can be such a whirlwind! By the time you’ve worked through your list, you might realize you’ve forgotten someone important: yourself. This year, prioritize self-care by putting yourself at the top of your holiday To-Do List… in more ways than one.
In your quest to treat yourself, check out some of 2019’s most popular new releases. These great toys are classics in the making.
We-Vibe Melt: Smaller and with a softer nozzle than most air pulsation toys, the We-Vibe Melt is comfortable to hold and envelopes your clit with ease. But just because it’s little doesn’t mean it doesn’t have some muscle – the Melt’s powerful suction-like sensations make for some toe-curling orgasms!
Hot Octopuss Jett: The Jett is truly unique: two powerful bullets rumble and massage you to orgasm while strapped in with snug, stretchy silicone that can accommodate soft or erect cocks. Control the Jett’s 5 patterns with the remote, then set it aside for hands-free ecstasy.
b-Vibe Anal Training & Education Kit: Skip the guesswork and confidentially explore anal play with B-Vibe’s comprehensive introduction to butt stuff. Three plugs in different sizes (with different functions to enjoy), a lube applicator, an enema bulb, and a detailed beginner’s guide will lead you through your booty journey!
FemmeFunn Ultra Wand: Wands are generally the most powerful vibrators available. The Ultra Wand takes wand level power and puts it in a smaller, flexible body for easier handling. And it’s waterproof for bathtime fun!
Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy: Teddy is a handheld fucking machine that delivers up to 125 strokes per minute (wow!), and has a suction cup so you can get creative about positions. If Teddy’s 1.5-inch width isn’t enough to satisfy, buy it bundled with a Vixskin Sheath for a squishier, 2-inch girth.
Fun Factory Manta: Pliable silicone wings flutter and stroke your shaft with 12 different vibration settings. The Manta can be used as a stroker, or held in place to vibrate all your most sensitive areas. And it’s waterproof!
nJoy Wands: Sleek, heavy stainless steel fashioned into curves that will stroke in all the right places no matter your anatomy and can be cooled or heated for erotic temperature play. The Pure Wand, Fun Wand, and the hulking 11 are all fan favorites – and they’re sure to become yours, too.
Gifts to Use with Partners
Gifts meant for two (or more) are the gifts that keep on giving! Whether you want to enhance intimacy or explore new sensations together, there’s a toy intended for partnered use that can carry you through. Strap-on harnesses, massage kits, position aids – there are countless ways to treat your partner(s) and yourself at the same time. And what’s more romantic than that?
We-Vibe Discover Gift Box: New to toys and not sure where to look? Looking to expand your sex toy collection with some of the best toys out there? The Discover Gift Box has a little something for everyone, including the most sought-after bullet vibe on the market (the We-Vibe Tango), a couple’s vibe for penetrative sex, a touchless air pulsation toy, and more.
We-Vibe Moxie: Magnetically clip the Moxie to your underwear and pass the remote (or open the app) to let a partner take control of the vibrations. Transform date night with strong, rumbly vibrations that tease and please unseen.
Temptasia Harness Briefs: Want a simple, comfortable introduction to strap-on sex? Temptasia Harness Briefs (sizes S–5X) are cute, easy to wear cheeksters, and their stretchy o-ring can accommodate a majority of dildos. Pair them with the Temptasia Twist Kit for pegging and penetration beginners!
Performance Gauge Pump Pistol Kit: Blush Novelties has pumping cylinders for penises, nipples, vulvas, clitorises, and breasts – all of which can be used interchangeably with the Performance Pump Pistol. Customize your pumping explorations by getting this pump and picking which attachments you and your partner(s) want to try first.
Wet for Her RockHer: The RockHer can be worn two different ways: either spreading to give easier access to the clitoris while massaging the g-spot; or anchoring inside while providing a bulbous vibe for mutual grinding. Scissoring just got a whole lot more fun!
BMS PalmPower Extreme: Not only can wands be used on any body (try it sometime!), the PalmPower Extreme has an angled head that can be utilized during penetrative sex. Slide it in place and let everyone involved enjoy the powerful, rumbly vibrations.
SpareParts Joque: Reviews on Peepshow have called it “the harness to end all harnesses” and “the last harness you’ll ever need.” The Joque is comfortable, form-fitting, machine washable, and can be used in the bath – and that’s the kind of versatility anyone can appreciate.
