A sex toy is either the best present someone gets this year or the most awkward, and the difference is almost entirely about matching the gift to the person. This guide is sorted by who you are buying for and what you want to spend. Everything ships in a plain box with tracked UK delivery, free over £30, so the only person who knows what is inside is the one opening it. Here is exactly what the parcel and your statement show. 18+ only.

Stocking fillers under £15

Small, cheap, and not embarrassing to unwrap in front of each other. The bullet is the best value here: £14.99 until 30 November, down from £24.99.

For a newer partner: keep it light, under £25

The rule for a new relationship is buy something that says “I’d like to have fun with you”, not “here is a list of demands”. Blindfolds, dice and small external toys do that. Anything internal or anything with straps can wait.

For a long-term partner

Here you can be braver. A remote toy makes an evening out more interesting, a vibrating ring changes sex you already have, and a starter restraint set is a conversation as much as a gift. If you want to be sure, the couples guide has a first-night note on each of these.

For him

Rings are the safe bet: cheap, useful, and they do something for both of you. The app-controlled cup is the gadget option for someone who likes gadgets.

For her, or anyone with a vulva

If you only know one thing about what they like, go small and precise: the pen wand or the bullet. If you know they like power, the wand. If they have said the word “suction” out loud, the suction toy or the rose.

Treat yourself

The ones people buy for themselves in December when the work parties are over and nobody is watching the statement.

Secret Santa and work-party safe

Funny on the outside, actually useful on the inside. The dice and the bells get the laugh; the blanket and the pillow are the ones that stay in the house.

Christmas delivery dates

Royal Mail has not published its 2026 last posting dates yet. Last year the cut-offs were 17 December for 2nd Class, 19 December for Tracked 48, 20 December for 1st Class and 23 December for Special Delivery. We will update this line the day the 2026 dates are confirmed. Order by mid-December and you are safe either way; everything is dispatched within one working day.
