Think Carefully Before Giving
Before browsing for that perfect sex toy gift, pause and think about how close or intimate you are with the recipient. Ask yourself, "Is our bond strong enough to withstand the personal nature of this gift?" Review those conversations you’ve had—has the topic of adult toys ever come up? If yes, how did they react? Their past openness to such discussions can be an indicator of whether a naughty gift will hit or miss the mark entirely.
Prepare yourself for any response—some might welcome your gift with open arms, while others might find it too personal, even off-putting. Using sex toys can be very personal, and everyone has their own comfort level. While the right toy can improve sexual satisfaction, if your partner isn't into it, it could cause issues in your relationship. Thus, proceed with great care and sensitivity.
Consider The Person You’re Giving It To
Before gifting someone, make sure the person is okay with it. Are they adventurous, or do they prefer to keep things more traditional? Would they be shocked if you gave them a dildo? Will your man be confused if you gift him a cock ring? It’s important that the gift is within their comfort zone.
Consider their sense of humor, too, especially if you’re planning on giving that novelty item that made you chuckle in the store. Imagine if you gift your partner with a huge dildo or a cock cage. Their reaction might be confusion. What's hilarious to you might baffle them, so gauge their humor to avoid awkwardness.
Find The Perfect Moment And Place
Knowing when and where to give the gift is crucial. Choose a private and cozy setting. Don't give this gift in front of family. If you choose to give it at a gathering, be discreet.
Maybe pull them aside or hand them a discreetly wrapped package with a knowing look. Timing is everything, so consider when they will most likely be relaxed. Avoid handing over a buzzworthy gift when they're stressed out about an upcoming deadline.
Finally, consider the nature of your relationship with the person receiving your naughty present. Are you close enough for them to see this gift as thoughtful rather than out-of-the-blue? Ensure the moment feels right and that your intentions are clear. Give a thoughtful gift at the right time for a personal and enjoyable surprise.Don’t Be Offended If They Don’t Like It
