Forget the fancy bath bubbles and creams, expensive tie, flashy watch, and homemade card. This year, surprise your partner (and possibly yourself) with something that's more than just "a little suggestive."
Although you'll want to be discreet in finding that perfect gift-giving time and place (Christmas morning in front of Grandma and the kids is an obvious no-go), your special someone will appreciate a present that's equal parts exciting and practical. A handy spray bottle of lube, innovative condoms, or slinky lingerie offer double the gift-giving punch because they promise the eventual gift of great sex.
Hey, the kids get toys … you should too!
Vesper Necklace
There's something so deliciously naughty about hiding a mini vibrator right in plain sight. The Vesper Necklace looks elegant in silver, rose gold, or 24kt gold plated stainless steel and has a USB port for charging on the go. This smart little stocking stuffer will look innocent enough on Christmas morning because only you and your partner will know what it's really for.
Vesper Necklace, from $69; Crave
Chakrubs Original Heart Crystal
Chakrubs are sexual wellness products made from crystals, created to facilitate "the body's natural ability to heal physically, emotionally, and energetically." The Original Heart is a rose quartz dildo-like object which, whether it helps you open your heart chakra or not, would be a welcome gift to any woman who wants to *ahem* get in touch with her true being. It's also gorgeous enough to display proudly on the bedside table — you know, if that's your thing.
Original Heart Crystal, $179; Chakrubs
Asos Curve Nancy Lace Underwire Set
The Nancy Lace lingerie set from Asos Curve takes sexy to another level. The bralette straps create a trompe l'oeil effect, making the chest look even more exposed. But don't be fooled by the pretty lace — there's plenty of support in this bra for plus-size ladies. The high-waisted panties help maintain a smooth line from rib to hip, and the fabric blocks help break up the shape to keep it from edging anywhere toward grandma-panty territory.

Flirt Pheromone Spray
Love potions might not exist IRL, but pheromones do. They're the scent signals that mammals (yep, you) release to attract potential sexual partners.

Spritz this stuff on your focus points, and he'll get the message. Because science.

Hex Condoms
You might not expect to find condoms at the top of your Christmas wish list, but these are no ordinary condoms. Lelo's Hex condoms get their name from their unusually shaped material — 350 ultra-thin latex hexagons. The structure is said to allow more body heat to transfer between partners, making for a more intense sensation. Consider your stockings stuffed (pun intended).

If you're familiar with sex toys but want to explore a little more uncharted territory, the Njoy Pure Plug could be a good starting place for you.
