I’m here to say we should normalize giving sex toys as gifts. Not just to your partner, but to your friends! Masturbation is potent self-care, so gifting a sensual toy or two is just like giving someone a scented candle or some luxury bath salts. It’s a gift to say “you deserve to relax.” Even if they’re given in jest, sex toys often make thoughtful and welcome gifts. We picked the products on this list with that in mind, whether you’re buying for a friend, a partner, or even a parent, each one is a different way to offer a loved one a new path to self-care.
Please note that this list is totally body-agnostic. We have toys for every kind of genitalia below. For more suggestions, don’t forget to check out our full list of the Best Sex Toys for Every Body, as well as the rest of our holiday gift guides.
