Creative Ways to Gift a Sex Toy Without Offending Your Partner
Thinking about giving a sex toy as a gift? It’s bold and exciting, but can feel daunting. Done right, it’s a thoughtful gesture that can spark connection. Done poorly, it could lead to awkwardness. With a bit of creativity and sensitivity, gifting a sex toy can be fun and memorable. Here are three foolproof ways to do it
Step 1: Make It Part of a Themed Gift Set
Sex toys can feel less intimidating when part of a larger, curated gift. Instead of giving the toy on its own, include it in a themed bundle that focuses on relaxation, self-care, or romance. This way, the toy feels like one part of a larger experience.
Ideas to Try:
-
Spa Night Surprise: Put together a luxurious self-care kit with goodies like massage oil, a plush robe, a scented candle, and, for a cheeky twist, a “Sex Bomb” bath bomb that unveils a waterproof bullet vibrator as it fizzes. It’s your way of saying, “Relax, unwind, and enjoy yourself.” After all, this little gadget can also double as a pinpoint “body massager”—no need to specify which parts it massages! ;)
- Weekend Getaway Kit: Pair some chocolates, flowers, and a bottle of champagne with a discreet, travel-friendly toy featuring remote or app-controlled options to make this extra fun (perhaps even beyond the bedroom). Present it as part of a romantic getaway or staycation, and let the toy serve as a catalyst for creating new memories together.
- Interactive Invitation: Include a toy as part of an advent calendar and hide it along with different items around the house by turning it into a gift hunt, with the sex toy as one of the surprises. Place it under their pillow or in the bathroom with a note that says, “Up for a little adventure tonight?”
Step 2: Frame It as a Shared Experience
Whether celebrating an anniversary, trip, or milestone, level up your themed gift by using it as a chance to create more bonding time. Present it as part of a shared adventure to highlight connection and mutual fun.
Ideas to Try:
-
Steamy Movie Night: Create the perfect atmosphere by watching an erotic film like The Secretary (2002) (trust us, it’s sizzling) as a seductive prelude to your evening. Keep a playful BDSM bundle nearby—whether it’s a spreader bar, bed restraints, furry cuffs, or even a sex swing—to seamlessly and excitingly set the stage for what’s next.

Game Night Twist: Spice up game night by introducing toys as a form of playful activity. Use a card game of spicy truth-or-dares to spark flirty conversations, or incorporate naughty dice for foreplay moves.
- Playful Role-Play Scenario: Leave a note with the toy on the kitchen counter, labeled, “Open me at 9 PM for something unforgettable.” Use it as part of a fun role-play, like, “I’m your private concierge for the night with a special treat.” In the bedroom, dress up and become the surprise itself!
Step 3: Use Humor to Break the Ice
If step 2 feels right for your partner, that’s great. However, adding a touch of humor can make the moment more relaxed and enjoyable. It shows that you’re comfortable and open-minded about intimacy, which can help your partner feel at ease too. Just be mindful not to make it feel like a joke when presenting the gift—aim for lighthearted and fun while keeping the gift’s significance intact.
Ideas to Try:
-
Funny Wrapping: Wrap the gift in something simple like brown paper or newspaper, but add a bold, cheeky message like, “Not Just Another Boring Gift” or “For When Things Get… Buzzing” to spark curiosity.
-
Playful Greeting Card: Include a cheeky Hedonist Greeting Card, designed with a checklist such as, “Thank You For… ‘those unforgettable orgasms,’ ‘the backdoor pass,’ and ‘being my favorite cardio’” to add an extra smile on their facet.
- Inside Jokes: If you and your partner have a playful sense of humor, choose novelty toys that reflect that, like a banana, a rose, or a bunny shape. This personal touch makes the gift special and less intimidating.
Tips for Starting the Conversation
If you’re concerned that your partner might feel caught off guard, here are some golden rules to follow:
Keep the Conversation Open: Make it clear that the gift comes from a place of love, excitement, and curiosity. Add a reassuring line like, “I thought it could be fun for us to try something new together. No pressure—just excited to see what you think.” This shows you respect their feelings and are open to their perspective.
Keep It Positive: Avoid sarcastic remarks when presenting the gift. Instead, use a warm, playful tone to set a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.
Manage Expectations: Emphasize that there’s no rush to use the gift right away. Prioritize comfort and exploration with a comment like, “I got this for us to enjoy whenever you’re ready. No rush!”
