“With all the anxieties that we have had to face this year—racist attacks, pandemic, elections, workforce changes—a lot of people have lost their libido,” says Marla Renee Stewart, sexologist for sexual wellness retailer Lovers. “It’s time to get back to bringing back all the good things that sex does for your body.”
Along those lines, think of sex toy gift sets as the perfect self-care package for so many people in your life: you, your Blanche Devereaux bestie, your uninspired partner, your mom with no boundary issues, and maybe not your dad but definitely your daddy. “If you know someone who has had a lot of changes over the past year, this is a good way to show them that you care about their mental and sexual health,” says Stewart. “Tapping into their sexuality might bring about new inspiration for the new year and help facilitate good feelings for the road up ahead.”
Below, find 9 sex toy gift sets that bring joy to the world (or at least your bedroom)
1. Maude Stay in Bed Kit, $110
This is a wonderful starter set for anyone newly navigating their sexuality (see: that friend who got dumped mid-pandemic) and is maybe still shy about it. The star of the show in this gift set is my beloved Maude Vibe, a loyal three-setting beginner vibrator. It also includes biodegradable and compostable wipes, an aloe-based lubricant, and a sex toy sanitizing spray, because yes, newbies, you have to clean your vibrator after every use.

The Le Wand Little Pleasures Collection is like one gorgeous, winter white swoon in a box. It includes two beloved vibrators—the Le Wand Point and Le Wand Bullet. It can be gifted to the adult who needs a whisper-quiet vibe when isolating with their parents [cough], but something about the colorway screams “wedding night.” Keep it in mind for the COVID bride who’s going to have to wait things out a little longer.

8. Lickerish Love Founder Series Blush Box, $295
If you’re part of a bridal party that wants to go splitsies on a gift, I cannot recommend the velvet-wrap Lickerish Love Blush Box enough. It invokes the senses with an ostrich feather, satin sash, and stainless steel pinwheel. It also includes Crave’s signature Vesper necklace vibrator in rose gold, rose quartz yoni eggs, and a cute pink gem butt plug for penetrative play. But my favorite part is the massage candle, which pours out of a shell and smells powdery and warm.

And finally, we have the We-Vibe Silver Delights bundle, for the giftee who’s not looking to mess around (because it’s a pandemic, and that’s extremely dangerous). This two-pack is perfect for those who want direct clitoral stimulation and, more specifically, climaxes that reach their peak in five minutes or less. The We-Vibe Tango is your classic bullet with a lipstick head and eight delicious settings, while Womanizer Premium is the Britney Spears of suction sex toys (the market has it’s Christinas, Mandys and Jessicas, but Womanizer reigns supreme).
