Thought you\u2019d add something a little saucy to your partner\u2019s stocking this year?<\/p>\n
Great idea\u2026so long as you get it right. Buying a sexy present isn\u2019t quite as easy as it sounds.<\/p>\n
How do you know if they\u2019ll find it wildly exciting or freaky and a little too out there?<\/p>\n
Will they be offended? (Is this a hint that I should last longer? Be bigger? Feel tighter?) Or think they\u2019re boring in bed and that\u2019s why you\u2019ve bought something to spice things up?<\/p>\n
Happily, there is a way to navigate all these hot spots and guarantee you\u2019ll be doing more than watching Elf and Bad Santa once the relatives have finally buggered off!<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s my guide to erotic offerings that won\u2019t backfire.<\/p>\n

Tracey encourages those buying a sexy gift for the first time to keep it non-threatening and playful (stock image)<\/p>\n
PITCH THE PRESENT TO THE PERSONALITY<\/span><\/p>\n She\u2019s shy, conservative and only just allowed sex with the lights on? Rolling up on Christmas day with a Grow Your Own Willy kit and crotchless red underwear isn\u2019t going to score you Christmas Brownie points.<\/p>\n Instead arrive with a glossy coffee table book by a sexy but stylish photographer like Helmut Newton. Scented massage oil is also safe: no-one\u2019s offended by the prospect of a sensual massage, but it hints at naughtiness. (Massage Candles are also great: light it to set the mood, use the wax to massage.) Silk PJs or a short silky robe are great presents for her; silky boxer-style PJ\u2019s also work for him.<\/p>\n They\u2019re practically dragging you to fetish clubs on date three? Opt for a set of stylishly crafted glass dildos. Use them to massage all over the body and for temperature play. Heat or cool (in hot or cold water) and bring your most erotic fantasies to life.<\/p>\n Or buy a case of their favourite wine and wrap notes around the neck of each bottle, detailing things you\u2019re planning to do to them as you\u2019re drinking it. Better still, add a night in a glam hotel room to do some of it in.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n UK relationships expert, Tracey Cox, warns that buying a sexy present isn’t as easy as it sounds. Here, she shares her fail-safe gift guide so you can be sure to get it right…<\/p>\n IF IT’S A NEW(ISH) RELATIONSHIP<\/span><\/p>\n If it\u2019s the first time you\u2019ve bought a sexy gift, keep it non-threatening and playful \u2013 and ALWAYS make it just part of the present. Turn up armed only with suggestive stuff and the message is \u2018I\u2019m only with you for the good times\u2019.<\/p>\n A cute thing to do is divide your gift into two parts, wrapped separately. Write \u2018Because I think you\u2019re sexy\u2019 on one card for the erotic present and \u2018Because I think you\u2019re fantastic\u2019 on the more romantic offering.<\/p>\n Non-cringe fun ideas: a sexy board game, playing cards or a sex toy advent calendar. Or turn an innocent gift into something racy by what you write on the gift card. A scented candle becomes daringly seductive if you write \u2018I can\u2019t wait to see you naked in candlelight\u2019.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll never go wrong with a framed, erotic black and white print (lots of inexpensive choices online). Turning up with chocolate-dipped strawberries and champagne impresses everyone. Classic erotic novels like The Story of O, Lady Chatterley\u2019s Lover or Henry and June are more risqu\u00e9 but will suit adventurous literary types.<\/p>\n IF YOU HAVEN\u2019T TRIED SEX TOYS TOGETHER YET<\/span><\/p>\n You\u2019re having sex (and lots of it) but haven\u2019t yet invited sex toys into bed with you? Now\u2019s your chance to be adventurous – but still err on the cautious side. Think classy, spirited and fun rather than overtly sexual presents that might scare the horses.<\/p>\n Keep things low-key with body paint (lick off varieties) or a \u2018fun\u2019 vibrator like a rubber ducky that floats in the bath.\u00a0<\/p>\n Other good choices are beginner bondage kits (they include things like non-threatening handcuffs, restraints that attach with velcro, a blindfold). Tie-up games are the most popular couple\u2019s fantasy – and the fantasy most likely to be enjoyed when acted out in real life.\u00a0<\/p>\n Or try classic, classy vibrators (clitoral vibes that are smooth and sleek), a rechargeable love ring (a rubbery ring that sits at the base of his penis with a little vibrator attached that you position against the clitoris) or a little \u2018bullet\u2019 vibrator (they\u2019re the size of a tampon but pack a punch and can be used to simulate both your hot spots).<\/p>\n Wondering why the obvious sexy pressy – saucy lingerie – hasn\u2019t got a mention yet?<\/p>\n LINGERIE IS HARD TO GET RIGHT<\/span><\/p>\n Buy it too small and she\u2019ll be too embarrassed to admit she\u2019s three sizes bigger. Buy it too big and she\u2019ll be paranoid you think she\u2019s overweight.\u00a0<\/p>\n If you really must buy underwear, check out the labels on at least three different sets of lingerie she already owns and stick to those brands and sizing or find a sexier version of.\u00a0<\/p>\n Choose white, cream, black or \u2018pretty\u2019 colours like blue or pink. Avoid red at all costs \u2013 it tends to come in cheap, nasty fabrics, it’s cliched and suits very few skin types.<\/p>\n THE LONGER YOU\u2019VE BEEN TOGETHER, THE RAUNCHIER YOU CAN GO<\/span><\/p>\n Not only are you more aware of what you\u2019re both into and would enjoy, you also know the \u2018no go\u2019 areas.<\/p>\n The world\u2019s your oyster in the land of erotic presents, so take your pick from the myriad of magical products out there.<\/p>\n If I had to pick one present for a man who had no sex toys, I\u2019d start with a masturbatory sleeve or \u2018stroker\u2019. It\u2019s a soft sleeve that fits over his penis and is moved up and down (by you or him) to add friction. They\u2019re cheap and, if he\u2019s never owned one, guaranteed to be the best present anyone has ever given him.<\/p>\n You can\u2019t go far wrong with a \u2018tease toy\u2019 for her. Remote controlled love eggs (she inserts it, he controls the remote) has brightened many a Boxing Day lunch with the in-laws or stroll around the shops. If you\u2019re in a long-distance relationship, a toy that\u2019s controlled remotely by an app is another great choice.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not just the gift you need to get right\u2026<\/p>\n Wait until you\u2019re alone and not going to be interrupted before giving it.<\/span> Sure, it\u2019s tempting to watch her unwrap a ginormous rabbit vibrator in front grandma, but she might not find it funny. Allow some time alone after unwrapping in case anything goes wrong (see below).<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget the card.<\/span> The card and what you write on it sets the tone. Up the heat by describing, in exquisite detail, exactly what you hope will happen later once she\u2019s wearing that gorgeous negligee. Make it more romantic by talking about how much you love every inch of her body when gifting a lacy, racy push-up bra.<\/p>\n Keep the receipt.<\/span> Especially if it\u2019s something they\u2019re going to wear like a role-play outfit, lingerie or underwear. Sizes vary enormously product to product and so does the cut. Tell them immediately they unwrap it that they can exchange if it\u2019s the wrong size or doesn\u2019t suit and it won\u2019t sit, unworn, at the back of a drawer.<\/p>\n Keep the receipt even if it\u2019s not something wearable\u2026<\/p>\n If it\u2019s obvious they don\u2019t like it,<\/span> be gracious and help them out. Even if you\u2019re bitterly disappointed and were absolutely certain they\u2019d love it, say, \u2018I wasn\u2019t entirely sure it was your sort of thing and I\u2019m sensing I got it wrong. How about I return it and we choose something else together?\u2019.<\/p>\n Help! They\u2019re offended! <\/span>They don\u2019t just dislike it, they\u2019re furious! It happens \u2013 and it\u2019s something to learn from. If it\u2019s a tasteful gift, not in the slightest bit \u2018out there\u2019 or remotely \u2018let me fix you\u2019, and the timing was appropriate (you\u2019ve been having sex for a while), it could be a red flag that you\u2019re mismatched sexually. Even if erotic presents aren\u2019t their thing, they should at least accept graciously or have a sense of humour about it. If a \u2018vanilla\u2019 present gets a \u2018one step off an orange in the mouth\u2019 reaction, your sexual future together is looking decidedly grim.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re the been-there-done-that couple, how about a \u2018Pegging Kit\u2019? Pegging upends the traditional power dynamic by inviting a woman to penetrate her male partner anally with a dildo.\u00a0<\/p>\n Yes, it is out there \u2013 but my pegging kit is often my best seller (I do a range of products, all sold on Lovehoney). I can vouch for their popularity!<\/p>\n Want something different but a little less confronting? Try some CBD arousal gels and lubes or orgasm arousal gels. They\u2019re packed with ingredients that tingle and encourage blood flow to the genitals.\u00a0<\/p>\n A soft whip \u2013 traditional style \u2013 is a sexy, erotic present that also looks inviting. The whips that look like they\u2019d hurt the most \u2013 the big ones with lots of thick fronds \u2013 are the mildest of them all. They\u2019re called \u2018floggers\u2019 and great for people who\u2019ve never tried acting out a spanking fantasy.<\/p>\n AVOID \u2018FIX IT\u2019 PRESENTS<\/span><\/p>\n Any product that fixes a \u2018problem\u2019 is a no-no.<\/p>\n Buying a sex book is fine (especially one you can read together for ideas) but make sure it\u2019s not targeted. \u2018How to increase desire\u2019 for a low libido partner will not be appreciated. Neither will \u2018Dealing with ED\u2019 (erectile dysfunction) for a guy who failed to raise to the occasion.\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s fine to buy something like a love ring (see above) but make sure the note reads, \u2018I thought this would be fun to try\u2019 so he doesn\u2019t instantly lapse into \u2018God! Is she trying to tell me she doesn\u2019t orgasm during sex?\u2019.<\/p>\n While we\u2019re on the topic, if you\u2019re having real problems with your sex life, avoid buying anything sexual at all. Even \u2018innocent\u2019 gifts can be interpreted as blatant digs.<\/p>\n IF YOU\u2019RE BUYING A VIBRATOR, SNOOP FIRST<\/span><\/p>\n Most women keep vibrators in their bedside or underwear drawers. Sneak a peek to see what style of vibrator she\u2019s into. Chances are she\u2019ll have a bullet vibe (tampon size or slightly bigger), a pebble-shaped clitoral vibe or a rabbit (phallic shaped with little \u2018ears\u2019 that vibrate).<\/p>\n If there\u2019s a rabbit in there, she\u2019s a fan of penetration. Go for a stylish new version of the one she has or try a G-spot vibrator for a different type of experience.<\/p>\n If she\u2019s into clitoral focused vibration, choose from a wide array of types and budgets. A high-end, silicone luxury vibe that nestles into her palm or a budget-friendly supercharged bullet that\u2019s tiny and perfect to pack for wicked weekends away.\u00a0<\/p>\n If she\u2019s already got a drawer full, she may not yet own a \u2018wand vibrator\u2019. They\u2019re alarmingly large (the most famous is The Magic Wand that Samantha buys in SATC) but are used externally to stimulate the clitoris. Wand vibrators offer strong vibration over a satisfyingly large area and once used, quickly become the favourite for lots of women.<\/p>\n NO MONEY? NO PROBLEMS<\/span><\/p>\n Promise a year of great sex by making a sex noticeboard!<\/p>\n Buy a large pinboard, some blank coloured cards and drawing pins. Then put titles on each card. My favourite place to have sex. Favourite time of the day to have sex. Favourite kissing technique. Where I like being kissed most. What position I most enjoy giving and receiving oral sex. Things I\u2019d like to try but haven\u2019t. Secret parts of my body I most like being kissed\/licked\/touched.<\/p>\n You write the first answer on each one, keeping it cheeky and seductive but informative.<\/p>\n Wrap it up for Christmas Day, then continue to play the game all year round. It\u2019ll keep you focused on your sex life and offer intriguing insight into both your secret sexual psyches. Update it at least once a month with new suggestions on things you want to try or particularly enjoyed, and you\u2019re set for a year of sizzling erotic encounters.<\/p>\n Sounds like way too much effort? Wrap yourself as a present. You can buy coloured non-stick bondage tape online and it\u2019s super affordable. It can be wrapped and fashioned into quite a cool boob tube and matching mini. He can unwrap you, layer by layer \u2013 then wrap himself up so you can return the favour.<\/p>\nWHEN AND HOW TO GIVE A SEXY PRESENT<\/h3>\n
