Giving Intimate Gifts For Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day Gift Guide

Sarah Riccio

From vibrators and strokers to books and bondage gear, adult products can make the perfect sexy gesture for Valentine's Day. But with so many toys on the market, how do you decide which pleasure products to get the lovers in your life?

Don't worry, I'm here to help! In this shopping guide, I present my favorite sex toys for Valentine’s Day, along with expert tips for picking the right gift for your sweetie. 

How To Gift Sex Toys For Valentine's Day

When shopping for the perfect intimate gift, there are two main things to consider: what is the giftee's experience with sex toys, and how long have you been together? The answers to these questions help determine which pleasure products are sure to be a hit and which might miss the mark.

What is their experience level?

If your Valentine has never used a sex toy before, you might want to prioritize beginner-friendly options that won't feel too advanced or intimidating. On the other hand, you probably want to impress them if they've been around the self-pleasure block! 

To help you in your search, let's look at the best toys for sex toy newbies and veterans alike. 

My Valentine is a sex toy beginner

If your Valentine is new to the world of sex toys, it's often best to start with easy-to-use fan favorites. Clitoral stimulators like vibrators and air pressure toys are typically a safe bet for those with a vulva, while a stroker can be the perfect starter toy for penis-owners.

Doxy bullet vibrator 

Best bullet vibrators

Doxy Bullet Petite, pretty, and powerful, this bullet packs a very pleasurable punch. Plus, it comes in a festive rose gold color that's perfect for Cupid's favorite holiday.

We-Vibe Tango X This gift-worthy bullet is sleek, quiet, rumbly, and bright red for Valentine's Day. It's also fully waterproof for any jacuzzi action you may have in mind.

Le Wand Vibrating Necklace This gorgeous piece of sex toy jewelry deserves its own category, but I'm putting it with the bullets because it's similarly designed for orgasms on the go. Its slim, shimmering style makes it the perfect Valentine's Day gift.

Giving sex toys on Valentine's Day

My Valentine is a sex toy aficionado 

If your Valentine knows their way around a sex toy shop, you'll probably want to explore more advanced products like interactive couples toys, wearable vibrators, or fetish gear.   

The Wearable Couples vibrator by Deia

Best wearable vibrators 

The Wearable by Deia Aptly named, this toy is the wearable couple's vibe, especially for those who like to switch positions mid-play. Its sleek, flexible design keeps it secure while you roll around, and the external stimulator hugs the vulva perfectly.

Lelo Tiani 2 Looking for something a little luxurious? The Tiani 2 is sumptuously smooth to the touch and features the brand's exclusive SenseMotion technology for intuitive pleasure. Plus, it's just gorgeous! 

Dame Eva This wearable vibe has two flexible arms that tuck under the labia to shower consistent stimulation on the clitoris. The Eva is great for all couples, but is a particularly good toy for slipping between vulvas in my experience!

Best app-controlled toys 

Lovense Gush From one of the top brands in app-controlled toys comes the Gush, a hands-free penis stroker made from velvety soft silicone. Let your lover control it from across the country, or across the room. 

We-Vibe Sync 2 The We-Vibe Sync 2 is similar to the Chorus in that it's a wearable couple's vibrator that simultaneously stimulates the penis, clitoris, and G-spot. But the Sync has a wider range of motion and presses more lightly on the clitoris — two nice perks for larger anatomies or more sensitive folks.

Lovense Flexer Looking for a way to spice up your Valentine's dinner date? Wear this dual-action panty vibe under your clothes to discreetly enjoy clitoral and G-spot massage while your lover watches.

Best BDSM toys

Sei Mio Tyre Paddle Bright red and sure to make an impression, this silicone paddle is an impactful way to wish your submissive a happy Valentine's Day. 

Crimson Heart Tip Leather Crop If the Queen of Hearts had a riding crop, this is what it would look like. With over 2-feet in length and a red leather heart at the top, this is one romantic impact tool.

Leather Double Slapper Pink suede and leather cut-out hearts — could you ask for a cuter impact toy? Plus, its double-slapper design makes an extra loud and satisfying thwack!

How long have you been together?

Everyone should feel free to explore any type of pleasure products that intrigues them. But the gift you get your brand new FWB might be different from the gift you pick for your wife of 15 years, right?

There's no rule that says you have to get your short-term lover something tamer or less expensive, but the type of toy you give should be influenced by how well you know them!

Let's look at the best sex toys to gift the Valentine you just started dating, as well as the perfect presents for your forever Valentine.
