37 Sexy Gifts for Your Partner That'll Make Any Special Occasion Spicier

Fifty Shades of Grey made sex toys cool—or at least that's my generational perspective—and they should be! Prioritizing pleasure in the bedroom is important to a healthy relationship. So, whether you're exploring a new partner or you want to spice up your married life, a sexy gift will let the recipient know you want…well, them! Shamyra Howard, Lovehoney Sex and Relationship Expert and certified sex therapist, says: "Sex and intimacy-related gifts allow couples to have fun while prioritizing their sexual intimacy needs and desires." Basically, erotic gifts won't just—hopefully—bring big Os. The trust and vulnerability needed between the sheets can also deepen your emotional connection.

Ready to get lucky, but not sure where to find sexy gifts for him, her or them? Consider this: "Creative, sexy gifts are best when they're memorable and useful," says Howard. These can be sex toys—of which we have many ideas—but they can also be sex-related items like lingerie, intimacy-boosting journals and mood-setters like a candle or even perfume. If all those possibilities have your head (or clit) spinning, don't worry. "Deciding on what kind of sexy gift to get your partner doesn't have to be frustrating when you make it an adventure," says Howard. The sex and relationship expert suggests looking at sexual wellness sites—or this very list—together to get a feel for each other's fantasies and desires. After all, consent is the sexiest gift of all.
