How to Gift a Sex Toy

How to Gift a Sex Toy Header

Sure, you can bring a smile to someone’s face with a gift of fine jewelry or leather shoes, but wouldn’t you rather make them literally scream with delight? For that reaction, you’ll need a sex toy—and not just any sex toy, but the perfect one.

It’s not always easy to find that toy and give it away discreetly. Once you do, though, the rewards are infinite: greater intimacy, better sex, and a secure place in the other person’s heart slash erotic fantasies. Here’s your guide to doing it all right, so your giftee can do themselves (or you) right.

Shop only for a close friend or current sex partner.

We hope this goes without saying, but: Don’t buy a sex toy for your Instagram crush or cute coworker that you hardly know. Don’t get one for your ex you fell out of touch with. Even if your intentions are good, it will come across as creepy.

Your best bet is to give a toy to a close friend—someone you talk with openly, and in detail, about sex—or a current partner. Not only is that gift way more likely to be welcome, but you also probably have some info on what they like. 

Do your research. 

FUN FACTORY can’t accept returns or exchanges, because we can’t verify that a returned toy is unused. So, before you add to cart, do a little investigating. You can tell your partner you’re thinking of getting them a sex toy, and not tell them which one, so there’s still an element of surprise. Revealing your intentions gives you the freedom to ask the other person about their size preferences, whether they like internal or external toys, and how intense they like their vibrations.

Or, if you want a true surprise, you can always choose toys that mimic the acts you do together. Does your partner love it when you stroke their G-spot? STRONIC G is a solid bet. Is your giftee a hungry bottom? Get them BOUNCER to satisfy their appetite. 

If you’re shopping for a couple, consider LAYA III or VIM, which pack rumbly, versatile vibrations in silhouettes that work for all bodies. Or, if they're into strap-ons, consider a dildo and harness
