Chic Sex Toys and Accessories That Make Excellent Gifts

Give the gift of an orgasm this holiday season

Between the stress of planning for the holidays and hiding from the bitter cold, there’s no better excuse to heat things up indoors this season. Sure, this time of year may not have the sexiest reputation compared to Valentines Day, but that doesn’t mean satisfying sexual experiences are off the table. We’ve rounded up the best sex toy gifts and accessories to give your single and already-coupled-up friends—or, you know, just keep for yourself—this holiday season. The perfect sex toy is the gift that will truly keep on giving: hormones, like serotonin and oxytocin, released during sexual activity are shown to reduce stress and enhance feelings of happiness—need we say more?

The Celeb-Recommended Option: Womanizer

The cost: $120
Best for: Multiple orgasms
The claim: The Womanizer’s patented technology uses air waves to stimulate (read: suck and massage) nerve endings on the clitoris without direct contact so your body doesn’t become desensitized to the sensation. Ergo, the road to multiple Os.
The fame: In her 2018 autobiography, My Thoughts Exactly, British singer Lily Allen namechecked the Womanizer as “the vibrator above all others,” capable of giving her 10 (!!) orgasms in a row. Now the brand’s chief liberation officer, Allen has co-designed a limited-edition hot pink version of the device complete with two different-sized stimulator heads to ensure the perfect fit for every body.

The Cannabis-Infused Lube: Foria Awaken Arousal Oil

The cost: $75
Best for: The cannabis lover (or cannabis curious)
The claim: This best-selling oil is perfect for solo or partnered sex and features broad-spectrum CBD for relaxation and heightened arousal.
The fame: Listen, lube is always a good idea because nobody wants discomfort and tense muscles during sex. The CBD in this product takes things a step further by promoting increased blood flow. Note that all oil-based lubes are not compatible with latex condoms, as they make them more likely to tear—so if you’re using one, keep the oil usage to foreplay only.

The claim: We-Vibe Chorus is a wearable vibrator that hugs the G-spot and clitoris. It can be worn solo or during penetration to stimulate both partners.
The fame: This vibrator is seriously popular. “Every holiday season since it’s release, I’ve seen the various versions of the We-Vibe couples’ vibrators fly off the shelves,” says Lisa Finn, sex educator for U.S.-based sex toy retailer Babeland. The style and intensity of vibrations can be controlled via remote if you’re in the same house or through an app, which works from continents away. Your LDR just got more interesting.

For the aesthetic-minded: Dame

The cost: $65
Best for: Leaving out on the bedside table
The claim: Maude’s Dame vibe is a three-speed silicone personal vibrator with a flutter tip for focused stimulation.
The fame: The flutter tip is indeed heaven for targeted sensation, and the strongest setting works wonders despite the small package. It’s the perfect companion for travel, multiple-O sessions or partner play. It’s also beautiful: colour options include ’70s-inspired shades of Kardashian taupe, olive-green, copper and dark grey. The paper packaging is also extremely chic, and the toy arrives in its own canvas travelling pouch. Best of all? You’re supporting a BIPOC-owned business that prioritizes sexual-health inclusivity—and that extends to the accessible price tag.
