19 sex gifts they’ll actually want this Valentine’s Day 2025

It’s not too late to Valentine

By
sex gifts

Valentine’s Day is unfortunately timed (February 14, if you don’t already know!) to fall just after cuffing season, meaning who knows what stage of your relationship you’ll be at?

So when the fateful day rolls around, selecting a gift from the smorgasbord of heart-shaped options out there can be tough. Recent research by dating app Bumble found 80% of people are unsure about how to match a present to the current stage of their relationship.

But whether you’re long-term lovers, friends with benefits, or secretly in a situationship, there’s one thing you’ll all have in common — and that’s sex. Whatever position you’re in, you are uniquely situated to purchase something that will have their toes curling, so don’t worry about giving them the wrong idea.

To save you agonising over what to get them for yet another year, our sex writer has compiled a list of our favourite sexy gifts, from lingerie to butt plugs, sex chocolates to sex furniture, with gifts under £200, £150, £100, and £50.

Because what says ‘I love you’, (or at least ‘I kind of like you?’) more clearly than an orgasm?

Best sex toy for blended Os

LELO ENIGMA Cruise Dual Stimulator

On Sale
ENIGMA Cruise Dual Stimulator

Pros

  • Hits both the crucial pleasure points at once
  • Hands-free for mutual fun

Cons

  • They might not have any use for you after this (sorry!)

This is a sex gift guide — did you really think we were going to start it off with anything other than one of our fave sex toys? Well jump on board, because Swedish brand LELO’s Enigma Cruise will transport your partner (or, if you are your own Valentine: you!) to blended orgasm bliss, and what better gift could there be?

Whether you’re planning to watch them use this, be watched using it, or leave them to their own devices, you’ll be able to rest easy in V-day smugness knowing you’ve ticked all their pleasure boxes for the year ahead.

Using the brand’s signature Cruise Control technology, this double stimulator sends sonic vibrations from the C-spot to the G-spot, and will have your lucky recipient sailing into O-central in no time.

Best jock strap

Savage X Fenty Jock Strap

Jock Strap

Pros

  • Inclusive sizing (and it’s comfy!)
  • “Changed my mind about jock straps,” one fan claims

Cons

  • Colour selection could be more creative, in our *humble* opinion

Ah, the jock strap — a sports garment turned fashion statement, and now gay sex symbol. But really just a glorified thong for people with a thing-a-ling.

In a stroke of genius, lingerie connoisseur Savage X Fenty has created its very own sparse sack for your schlong-showcasing SO in time for Valentine’s Day.

Have them earn their stripes in the grey pencil option (more of an everyday jock option, if you will), mark the spot in a red X, or be sleek in all black. Or at £16 each, go for all three — why not for your favourite bottom?

Best novelty gift

Urban Outfitters Nice Butt Stripe Bath Matt

Nice Butt Stripe Bath Matt

Pros

  • Pay your SO a compliment without even trying

Cons

  • Maybe not the most housemate-friendly furnishing

If you’re part of the 16% of people who enjoy using the shower for something other than, well, showering, give your OH the nudge they need to get splashy with you with this cheeky bath mat.

If their love language is acts of service (or even if it isn’t), maybe consider giving the shower a quick clean beforehand, as 65% of men admit to peeing in there (ew!).

Best shower sex accessory

Womanizer X hansgrohe Wave Clitoral Stimulation Shower Head

X hansgrohe Wave Clitoral Stimulation Shower Head

Pros

  • Discreet so you can leave it on all the time (yes, even in a family home!)
  • For solo or partner play

Cons

  • Makes morning showers that bit longer...

Keeping your OH satisfied once you’re actually in the shower is a whole other ballgame — you’re trying to stay upright, for starters, and there’s nothing more distracting from the moment than a shower head that spurts streams in random directions.

If anyone is going to fix our sexy shower sorrows, it’s Womanizer, whose ingenious designers created a shower head with a powerful stream that perfectly targets those pleasure spots.

Plus, it’s so easy to screw on and off that your SO can enjoy its three jet streams any time — with or without you.

Best Valentine’s advent calendar

Lovehoney 12 Days of Romance Valentine’s Gift Set (12 piece)

12 Days of Romance Valentine’s Gift Set (12 piece)

Pros

  • Options for everyone
  • It’s £85 for £254.87 worth of sex toys — what more do you want from us?

Cons

  • Best for beginner collectors

Let’s all take a second to praise whoever decided that opening 12-24 little gifts shouldn’t be reserved for Christmas. If a dozen days of erotic adventure sounds like it could spice up your excitement for Valentine’s Day, Lovehoney has curated a gift set that promises to lube, vibrate, and massage the path to ravishing romance.

Or, if you’re not one for delayed gratification (tell us about it), rip into them all at once for a night of uncensored fun.

Just remember to charge the knicker vibrator and bullet first ASAP if you’re planning to use them on the night — nothing could spell a Valentine’s argument quicker than a vibe not charged.

Best customisable sex gift

The La La Land Mystery Sex Toy Gift Box

The La La Land Mystery Sex Toy Gift Box

Pros

  • Something for everyone
  • It’s a surprise! But, like, a really great, nicely wrapped one

Cons

  • Try not to think of the 2017 movie musical while you use the toys

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it — so if you and your SO are experienced sex toy testers and know exactly what you like, you’ll only want to invest in a gift box that will add an extra layer of oomph to your collection.

Luxury adult retailer Bed Nerdz has found a way to maintain the element of surprise of a mystery box while tailoring its contents to you and your Valentine.

Simply fill in the questionnaire with yours and your partner’s gender (yes, they have a non-binary option), your ‘bedroom personality’, and your preferred way to be stimulated, and you’ll be delivered a customised set of three toys that will send you straight to La La Land (sans Ryan Gosling, unforch).

Looking for something a little more beginner-friendly? Bed Nerdz also offers a couples gift box and gift box for her — all cards on the table, so you’ll know exactly what you’re giving.

Best app-controlled vibrator

We-Vibe Sync O Couple's Vibrator

Sync O Couple's Vibrator

Pros

  • It’s spenny, but they’ll thank you for the investment in your sex life
  • Bendy AF, so it will stay firmly in place during sex

Cons

  • The app can be glitchy (but what app isn’t?)

Whoever dictated that long-distance couples had to spend Valentine’s on a boring dinner FaceTime date were wrong. Gone are the days of mundane mutual masturbation — it’s 2025, people! Ever heard of sex tech?

Instead of clumsily balancing your phone screen so your long-distance lover can watch you get off, mail them this flexy vibe that you can control via an app.

Sync O even comes with its own handy dandy remote, so when you’re finally reunited it can be enjoyed just as you learned to love it and you can let those hands roam, baby!

Best knicker vibrator

Svakom Edeny Knicker Vibrator

Edeny Knicker Vibrator

Pros

  • App-controlled, so no one will ever know what you’re cooking
  • Top tip: Ann Summers is available on Deliveroo in some cities

Cons

  • Beware, this doesn’t come with pants (but you hopefully have your own)

The thing about Valentine’s is that it happens… every year, and the same old dinner date can become so dull. And if we’re ever on a mission to keep that spark alive, surely the day of literal blooming romance should be it?

So, while we can’t encourage getting your socks off in public, sex toy inventors Svakom certainly can, and do. Slipping this discreet little vibe into your pants and letting your OH take control will relight that ember, if not have the flame burning on full blast.

P.S. You can also enjoy this in the comfort of your own home.

Best leather gift

Skims Vinyl Cropped Corset

Vinyl Cropped Corset

Pros

  • Sexiest of all sex outfits
  • Zipper closure to avoid tricky leather encounters

Cons

  • Hurry, it’s going quickly

This one’s for the leather lovers out there — need we say more? If there’s one celebrity we’d trust with the task of cajoling our loved ones into skin-tight leather even for a night, it’s Kim K.

The A lister has designed a corset so red and glossy it would make a glacé cherry jealous, and is strappy enough to prevent too much leather sweating (really not conducive to any sensual fun).

What really seals the deal, though, is its zip closure, which makes getting in (and out) faster than you can say Skims. And the barely-there matching T-string thong won’t add much longer to changing time — so that’s one less thing to worry about!

10
Best travel lube

Überlube Silicone Lubricant Good-to-Go Traveler Set

Silicone Lubricant Good-to-Go Traveler Set

Pros

  • Hint: Überlube also makes for an amazing hair gel and lip gloss, so really it’s a three-in-one handbag essential
  • Lube that never dries out... so there’s no reason to ever stop

Cons

  • We don’t know how much lube you’re gonna get through on a romantic romp, maybe you want to opt for a bigger bottle instead?

On a spicy weekend away, the last thing you want is to take up precious suitcase space with a bulky bottle of lube (although presumably you won’t need to pack much for this trip).

Thankfully, personal lubricant producer Überlube now offers this dinky travel-sized lube case, which can be refilled with their silky lightweight silicone lube at your convenience.

Just remember, silicone lube can’t be used with silicone toys — immediately damaging your brand new toy is the last thing you want to do — so save your slathering for metal, glass, and neosilicone toys only.

Best sex accessory

Liberator Microfibre Sex Position Wedge

On Sale
Microfibre Sex Position Wedge

Pros

  • Chuck it in the washing machine (you will probs need to)
  • Velvety soft

Cons

  • Pretty spenny for what it is, but it’ll give your actual pillow a break

Not to put a wedge between two lovers but… have you ever considered putting a wedge between you?

If you’re in need of a little support during the more trying positions, relying on a trusty pink wedge could help you achieve deeper penetration and provide much-needed back support (and unlock a new angle!) for the ravishing receiver.

If you thought you knew your good angles, think again.

12
Best lingerie gift

Pour Moi Fleur Non-Padded Underwired Balcony Basque

Fleur Non-Padded Underwired Balcony Basque

Pros

  • If you’re set on lingerie, comfy is the only way
  • No padding, we’ve been through enough!

Cons

  • Hurry, the matching pants are going quickly

You wine and dine a gal and then… you expect them to wear lingerie? If sexy dress up is part and parcel of your Valentine’s Day traditions, the least you can do is make it comfortable.

Pour Moi has crafted a non-padded basque, which provides just the right amount of coverage for your post-V Day feast.

It’s underwired, so your loving partner won’t have to worry about the girls sagging, and can be matched with any of the brand’s Fleur knickers — so it’s perfect for brief and thong wearers alike.

Best for bondage buds

Lovehoney Bondage Boutique Bound to Please Red Under-Mattress Restraints

Bondage Boutique Bound to Please Red Under-Mattress Restraints

Pros

  • Proves bondage doesn’t have to be uncomfy
  • Latex-free (we got you, allergy pals)

Cons

  • Measure up before purchasing

Looking to flex your Dom/sub muscles? Tie them down this V-day — we mean literally (and metaphorically).

Don’t waste your time on makeshift knots and wrist-burning ropes, if you’re going to dominate someone you have to do it right.

And there’s no point investing in a bed restraint that can only be used with one bed — we’re living in a renter’s economy and we need to think long term, people!

This red set can be extended to fit all bed types, and is cruel to be kind to your sub, with soft, adjustable wrist restraints so they can focus on full-body surrender.

Best massage candle

maude burn no. 1

burn no. 1

Pros

  • Oils to get your skin smooth as
  • Starts with massage, ends with… (you decide!)

Cons

  • Be prepared to get messy

There aren’t many instances where pouring hot wax on your partner is acceptable, but maude (by 50 Shades of Grey’s Dakota Johnson — and “I love limes” Dakota Johnson) has found one.

When the big night rolls around, light your candle to set a warm, sweet and citrus sexy scene. Then, once you and your SO are ready to get down to business, blow the candle out (this is the crucial part…) and pour the melted oils onto their back for a sensual massage.

If playing with fire isn’t your thing, maude also offers a scentless massage oil that gets the job done just as well.

Best sex toy game

For Play Milk Couples Chocolates His & Hers

Milk Couples Chocolates His & Hers

Pros

  • His & his and hers & hers options, too
  • There’s no time like the present to deepen that emotional bond

Cons

  • Adaptogens can impact everyone differently

If you can’t enjoy something together, can you really enjoy it at all? Most of us have received chocolates for Valentine’s at some point in our lives, but For Play has created an entire experience around just three bites.

Hunker down for the night and be prepared for the libido-boosting adaptogens in the chocolate to have you in for a night of improved performance and arousal.

And if that wasn’t enough, the set comes with six cards that will help you open up mentally and physically — you’re in for a treat.

15
Best for anal play

Smile Makers The Neighbour

The Neighbour

Pros

  • Gentle for beginners
  • Quiet vibrations

Cons

  • Might be too soft for anal afficionados

If there’s anything we can impart on you with complete certainty, it’s that the butt is an erogenous zone we all need to pay more attention to.

Whether you’re an anal play beginner or a long time advocate, a new backdoor gadget is always a welcome addition to the toy box.

Tell your loved ones to KISS (keep it simple, stupid) your ass, with this vibrating butt plug from Smile Makers, set with a humble three speeds and two pulsation patterns to help you cut through the bullshit and get to the good bits (by which we mean anal orgasms).

Best strap on

Lovehoney Desire Luxury Rechargeable Strapless Strap-On Dildo Vibrator

On Sale
Desire Luxury Rechargeable Strapless Strap-On Dildo Vibrator

Pros

  • Don’t get caught up trying to put a harness on
  • Mutual orgasms

Cons

  • Get those kegels in, otherwise it might fall out

A strap is a strap, and no fun-loving lesbian is going to turn one down (les-be-honest). But, if you can’t be bothered with the actual straps of it all, a vibrating strapless dildo is a welcome alternative to the norm.

This one’s a present to you both, and supplies rippling vibes to both the wearer and receiver so you can cum together.

It even comes with its own removable bullet, so it’s essentially two toys in one — bargain!

17
Best male masturbator

Tenga TENGA Flip Hole Male Masturbator

TENGA Flip Hole Male Masturbator

Pros

  • "You'll go from one orgasm to another if you can cope with it," says one reviewer. Sold!
  • Opens up, for an easy clean

Cons

  • Bulky to hold on to but it's also hands-free

Look, sometimes you're just not in the mood and that's fine!

But for when they're still trying to get off, be the supportive partner that you are and gift them a masturbator to help them on their way.

This one from Japanese brand Tenga is hands-free, and filled with lumps, bumps and ridges for an extra-textured wank.

Best sex game

Lovehoney Monogamy: A Hot Affair Game

On Sale
Monogamy: A Hot Affair Game

Pros

  • An affair, without all the messiness (because it's with your partner)
  • For when you're bored of monopoly

Cons

  • Icons are confusing so read the instructions

There's nothing like a bit of escapism to keep the spark alive. If you're looking for a bit of spontaneity this V-day, try mixing up your night with a game that lets you role play in over 400 scenarios.

All you have to do is role a die to move across the board, and pick from three types of affair ('intimate', 'passionate', or steamy) at each square you land on to be transported to a whole new relationship.

Your reward? Whoever reaches the end of the board first gets first dibs on one of 50 fantasies in the game.
