5 Holiday Sex Gifts That Prove It's Better to Give AND Receive

If you don't want to go super hardcore, choose a high-quality candle like a Lelo Flickering Touch or a Jimmyjane Afterglow. Yeah, at first it looks lame, like that Christmas Peach Candlefrom Saturday Night Live, but it's actually stealth massage oil — really warm, gorgeously scented massage oil. Give your partner a candlelight massage first (because it's the holidays) then take your turn. As they work on your back, prop a pillow under your hips and spread your legs a bit wider than necessary to take it in a whole different direction.

Make oral more delicious with a gift basket of fun, oral-specific enhancing goodies. Start with a Good Head Kit for Him (lip balm, a vibrating cock ring, and mints for a tingly mouth). Add assorted Good Head oral gels and some Tingle Drops to enhance the sensation. Every night for a week, he gets to pick an item from the basket to enjoy. This gift comes with a caveat though: He has to return the favor first before redeeming this coupon.

If you're exchanging gifts in front of grandma and various little kids, you've gotta go stealth. At the family gift exchange, give him a nicely wrapped box of three inexpensive ties. While the unwrapping continues, text him: "Gonna use those on you later. You are SO in for it." Let him wonder. Later, sit him down and use one as a blindfold, one around his ankles, and one binding his arms together. Tease him — describe how you're stripping, let him hear you touch yourself, nip and kiss your way up his thighs — until he begs for you to climb on top of him.

If you've been talking about prostate stuff but haven't actually gone in, invest in a high-quality toy to get him started. Wait until he's very aroused, use a literal butt-load of lube, and slowly guide his toy in, asking him for feedback as you go. If you pick a hands-free version like the Aneros Helix Syn or vibrating b-Vibe Rimming Plug, get on top and be the beneficiary of his subsequent super boner and intense, longer-lasting orgasms.

Play sexual Iron Chef with mystery ingredients you get in a sex box, like Babeland's Moregasm Set, or a subscription from The Pleasure Pantry or The Big Oh! Box. The latest (gorgeously wrapped) box from Unbound, for example, includes a BDSM-friendly pin wheel, Volt stimulating gel, and a pair of Eva and Limon vibes. Start by tickling him with the pinwheel, then give a reach-around hand job with a side of perineum vibration. Will pair excellently with egg nog and some simultaneous vibe-play for you.
