Giving Adult Gift As Toys

Giving Adult Toys As Gifts

Rose MacDowell

From a classic Magic Wand to you wearing nothing but a big red bow, an intimate gift is as personal as it gets. Intimate items practically have their own holiday on Valentine's Day, but make great presents no matter what the occasion. 

No longer taboo, intimate gifts like sex toys have gone unabashedly mainstream, and are now common choices for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, bachelor and bachelorette parties, or any fun event among close friends.

Two other benefits of intimate gifts? They can be purchased online and are delivered in discreet packaging, so nosy neighbors or roommates will be none the wiser. 

If you’re not sure what kind of sex toys to buy (or for whom!), read on. This guide covers everything you need to know about giving the gift of pleasure, including the best wands, bullet vibrators, toys for men, and more. 

How To Gift Sex Toys 

Before you begin shopping for all the nice and naughty people on your list, consider who you’re buying for. Are they single or partnered? Would they like a toy with a lot of features and settings, or something that's simple and intuitive to operate? 

When it comes to sex toys, the more you know about the person you’re buying for and their preferences, the better. 

Sex toys make great gifts for:

  • Boyfriends
  • Girlfriends
  • Spouses
  • Best friends
  • Anyone in your life who appreciates a little intimate self-care
  • And of course, yourself


If you want to buy for your partner but aren't sure what they might like, that’s great, too. Sex toy shopping together can be a sexy, intimacy-building experience, and is a fantastic opportunity to learn what your partner is eager to try. 

If you’re not comfortable picking out a specific sex toy, a gift card does the trick every time.

Whether you're shopping for a sex toy newcomer or an aficionado, a high quality toy with crowd-pleasing features can be a great pick. For clitoral stimulation, a bullet vibrator, air pressure toy (AKA a suction toy), or vibrating wand are always good bets. For penis stimulation, a stroker can take solo sessions to new heights and are fun for partnered play, too. 

When browsing for the more experienced folks on your shopping list, consider creative toys like interactive, wearable products or toys with unique features like warming functions or multiple stimulation options. 

Without further ado, here are our top gifting picks for beginners and experts alike.
