Temperatures are plummeting and snow has arrived. The red cups have reappeared at Starbucks and pretty soon every store will be blasting “Six White Boomers” — actually, that’s one of the only Christmas songs I like. Anyway, I’m trying to say: CHRISTMAS IS COMING!
With that being said, there are a ton of gift ideas out there to make your special Santa or your Mrs. Clause really jolly. Here are my top five recommendations to stuff your beau’s stocking with this season.
We-Vibe 4 ($169)
This genius product was designed specifically for couples (and it was designed by Canadians — yay!) It has completely taken the sex market by storm. The We-Vibe is a rechargeable silicone vibrator that has clitoral stimulation, g-spot stimulation and is worn while boinking. This means that your guy is pushing this toy directly into all your pleasure buttons while simultaneously experiencing intense vibrations up and down his shaft with every move you two make together. With six vibration patterns, plus the pounding from your boo, this is going to be an O to remember. Plus it is waterproof, so feel free to bring it in the shower for couple (or even solo play).
Fleshlight ($64-$100)
We’ve all heard about this one, and there is a reason: it’s pretty rad. This male masturbator is disguised as a flashlight, although when you twist that lid off you see an inviting pink vagina (or mouth, or butt) that will please your guy. Made of a Real Feel Superskin material, this beauty warms up like the real deal. The base of the Fleshlight can be tightened or loosened in order to increase or reduce suction. It is absolutely vital to use a water-based lube with this toy because silicone lubricants will deteriorate the fleshy material and cause a sticky mess that can’t be cleaned. All that other mess, however, is easily cleanable as the skin can be pulled from the tube for a thorough washing. On the Fleshlight website, you can create your own toy from the inside out for an incredibly personal gift. They even have vaginas based off of Spielberg’s Avatar, so be creative! For the ladies, this toy will put a smile on your guys face, plus it spices up those old-fashioned hand jobs.
Sqweel 2 Oral ($39)
This one is for the ladies and, boy, is this the greatest idea ever. Imagine this: a wheel spinning, but that wheel is full of soft, pink, silicone tongues that tickle your clit. The stars are maxed in the reviews for this toy on PinkCherry — the ladies are in love. With three speeds and no complaints of jaw soreness, this toy can easily be incorporated into your sexy times with your partner or used on your own. Just ensure you have lots of AA batteries on hand. Again, use a water based lube with this toy, as the silicone stuff will deteriorate the materials.
Lelo Nea ($90)
She looks like a delicate little jellybean, but she has an engine worthy of NASCAR. Easily incorporated into your playtime with a partner, this tiny clitoral vibe can increase her pleasure ten-fold while you get in her too. Nea is rechargeable and totally silent so you don’t have to worry about waking up your neighbours. Well, your girl’s moans may still be cause for concern.
Flickering Sting Prostate & Testicles Tickler ($72)
The name may sound a bit scary, or it may be the fact that the toy is 7.5 inches long, but this toy will make your guy O so hard you won’t even know what to do with yourself. With two separate vibrators — one in the tip, and one near the base — the prostate and nuts will both have a good time. It is a PVC-based material, so feel free to slather this bad boy in I.D.’s Millennium Silicone lubricant for easy insertion with longer lasting moisture.
All these toys can all be found at your local boutique, or online at either Amazon or Pink Cherry. Another creative idea for your lucky partner can be a subscription to Boink Box — for as low as $45 a month you can surprise both you and your significant other with a box of goodies on your doorstep each month. As for your gifts on a budget — nothing says, “I wanna fuck” more than a bottle of lube and a pack of condoms.
Get creative this holiday season, my loves. Be nice and play naughty.
