This guide breaks down everything you need to know about gifting a pleasure product — plus, 9 of the best sex toys to gift this year or treat yourself to this cuffing season!
How to buy someone in your life a sex toy
Sex toys should only be gifted to someone you have already, previously talked about sex in someeee capacity! So that cousin, chum, and comrade you’ve previously chatted about coming with, though, are all fair game!
But don’t use an R-rated gift to start the conversation about sex with your super-shy sibling or private pal. Doing so could make them d-e-e-p-l-y uncomfortable. And because you have ZERO idea what their sexual preferences or needs are, odds are high you’ll give them something they won’t even like.
Figure out your “who”? Cool. Now spend some time noodling on what sensation you think they might enjoy based and then set your budget. We’ll take over from there.
The 9 best sex toys to gift
1. Best overall gift: Le Wand Petite Rechargeable Massager
The ultimate equal-opportunist, the Le Wand Petite is a wand vibrator that can be used on literally any (!) body part. Including: clits and cocks, bums and bumps, backs and (ball)sacks, clicks and dicks, perineum and penises, and any other erogenous zone. Meaning, this is the toy to get if you don’t know the ~specifics~ of how your giftee likes to be pleasured.
The miniaturized version of the Original Le Wand, the Le Wand Petite delivers the same deep, spine-tingling vibrations that make the Le Wand so iconic. But, at just 10 inches long it fits more easily between bodies or into an overnight bag.
Available in rose gold, blue, violet, dark cherry, and our Special Edition Glimmers Collection – they’re cute AF!
2. Best sex toy for external stimulation: Le Wand Point
This gift is perfect for the person who enjoys external stimulation, whether that means a clit or clitoral hood or frenulum, or phallus. A palm-shaped vibrator that’s contoured to fit comfortably in your palm, the Point covers your genitals while drawing pleasure from them.
What sets the Point apart from the other palm-shaped vibrators on the market is its material. Instead of being made of just silicone, this baby is part-silicone, part-stainless steel. The stainless steel gives the toy heft that makes it optimal for providing external pressure against your pubic mound.
The point also provides deep, rumbly vibrations which are usually only reserved for larger vibrators like the Le Wand or Le Wand Petite. Small, my friends, can be orgasmic.
3. Most luxurious gift: Le Wand Die Cast
Want to s-e-r-i-o-u-s-l-y spoil your sweetie? Look no further.
Le Wand’s Die Cast Massagers are an amped-up addition to our wand lineup. Our latest collection brings more power and a weightier, premium die-cast body to the table for more thunderous rumbles and outrageous orgasms.
Harnessing 10 vibration speeds and 20 vibration patterns in its sleek and stylish body, this massager is powerfully compact and conveniently rechargeable. For those looking to have uninterrupted all-nighters, check out the Die Cast Plug-In Wand.
4. Best sex toy for advanced players: Le Wand Bow
This sleek beaut may look like a luxe paperweight, but surprise! The Le Wand Bow is actually a sex toy.
Made entirely of medical-grade stainless steel, this 8-inch toy weighs in at just over a pound. The combination of its weight and curved shape make it perfect for G-spot and P-spot stimulation—both erogenous zones respond well to firm pressure.
Because it’s made of stainless steel, the Le Wand Bow can also be used for temperature play. All they have to do is pop the wand in a glass of warm or cold water for 2 minutes before play, to weather new sensations.
Worth mentioning: The Le Wand Bow can also be used as a vaginal strengthening tool, making it an intimate purchase for anyone currently in pelvic floor therapy.
5. Best sex toy for internal stimulation: Le Wand XO
Sleek, sensational, and fit for all bodies, Le Wand XO is the ultimate stimulator from our Chrome internal vibrators collection.
A vibe for all bodies, the XO’s uniquely shaped wave design targets your most sensation-stimulating zones for internal play. Curved perfectly for reaching the A-Spot or G-Spot in vagina-havers or the P-Spot in prostate-havers, XO’s tapered base makes it insertion-safe for all types of play!
The XO’s tapered base even includes its own motor, delivering simultaneous vibes externally as well as internally for an orgasm that rocks your whole body.
6. Best for penis play: Le Wand Perfect Penis Pleasure Pack
If your partner has a penis *and* you’ve already used a wand vibe like the Le Wand together, consider gifting them this silicone wand attachment. Designed to pop over the head of your vibrator, the Le Wand Loop & Stroke attachments immediately transform the toy into a rumbly masturbation sleeve.
MASTER: How to use a vibrator on a penis!
With a textured interior that’s designed to replicate the texture of a vagina or anus, paired with a high-quality lube like the Le Wand Natural Intimate Water-Based Lubricant, they’ll be able to experience the joys of penetrative sex even when you’re not present.
Or, yanno, while you watch…
7. Best for variety lovers: Complete Le Wand Attachments Bundle
If your giftee already has a wand, why not give them the gift of variety?! The Complete Le Wand Attachments Bundle features 9 of our most stimulating wand toppers to turn your giftee’s bedside bestie into a transformer of tantalization.
Each attachment is perfect for targeting different erogenous zones, internally, externally, or sometimes, both at once! Our attachment heads slip perfectly over most standard-size wand brands, making it a safe choice for the toy collector who already has a solid base of pleasure toys.
Featuring our uniquely designed Dual, Glider, and Flexi attachments, as well as our classic Curve, Ripple, Shiatsu, Loop, Droplet, and Spiral heads, this bundle makes the perfect gift basket of variety for the pleasure seeker who thinks they’ve had it all.
Does your giftee have a petite wand? No problem; we have a Petite Attachments Bundle as well!
8. Best stocking stuffer on a budget: Le Wand Natural Intimate Water-Based Lubricant
Lube does to sex what salt does to food: Make it, like, one million times better!
While a little bit of friction during sex can be pleasurable, too much friction can create physical discomfort, cause microtears to the delicate genital tissues, and increase the risk of barrier breakage. Lubricant can cut down on friction and its downsides, while also increasing pleasure.
There are a few different kinds of lubricants—including water-based, silicone-based, hybrid, aloe-based—water-based is the only type of lubricant that can be used with latex barriers *and* silicone-based toys. Ours even come in Warming Sensation and Cherry Vanilla Flavored for some extra excitement to your slippery situation.
So, to give your giftee the gift of slippery satisfaction that’ll come in handy no matter what kind of sex they’re having, we recommend going with water-based lubrication like Le Wand’s Natural Intimate Water-Based Lubricant.
9. Best gift for a roommate: Le Wand Intimate Organic Toy Cleaner
All Le Wand products are made out of either medical-grade silicone or stainless steel, which means a simple rinse with warm water and fragrance-free soap will get them clean. But if you’re looking for a deep cleaning, germ-zapper that is also body safe, you’ll need a little something extra. And that’s where a sex toy cleaner like the Le Wand Intimate Organic Toy Cleaner comes in.
Made from Certified Organic IASC Aloe Vera, and absent from Glycerin, Parabens, Alcohol, Triclosan, and other harsh chemicals, the Le Wand Intimate Organic Toy Cleaner is friendly to skin and incredibly nasty to germs.
