Every family has traditions. Every Christmas, my grandma would make homemade Christmas ornaments, and we would go to the woods and shoot in the snow. This is our family tradition. Do we hand out sex toys for Christmas? Not so much! But why not?

I have a very open relationship with my mother. It is not unusual for us to talk about sex or relationships, or even for her to make crude yet humorous sexual jokes that would make your jaw drop. I decided to ask her what she would think of getting a sex toy for Christmas; her answer was “I’ve gotten weirder, less useful presents in the past.” So my mom would like a vibrator for Christmas.

This is something that is definitely great to know. Only you know your relationship, with your own mother, well enough to know if a question like "how about a vibrator for Christmas?" is an appropriate one. But don’t be shocked with the answer that you receive. I think many parents hide their sexual sides, because they feel it might make their children feel uncomfortable. Once my mother and I became comfortable talking about it, she shared many things that I could not believe!

Who else might want a sex toy for Christmas? Close siblings could definitely receive the gift of a sex toy. I have a younger sister who is married now, and I could definitely see myself giving her something from edenfantasys. Sex toys are not just vibrators and dildos! Her gift could be lingerie, sensual massage products, or personal skin care products. I think, with my sister, I would most likely get her lingerie, because I’m sure she has a particular taste in toys that I don’t personally know about. I would not hesitate to get her any other sexual items. A great piece of lingerie can be the gift that keeps on giving, as she gets to show it off to her husband. I would love to know that I gave my sister a boost in her confidence, and an opportunity to feel fabulous.

One issue of giving sex items, as a gift, is timing the gift unwrapping. If there are children or other family members present, who may not be so receptive of your sensual gifts, make sure that you give the gift in a more private environment. You definitely don’t want to give grandma a heart-attack, as your mom pulls a giant dick out of her stocking!

No matter what you give for Christmas, it’s the thought that counts. Caring about someone, enough to want their sex life to be satisfying and fulfilling, is a good thing, at least in my book!
