Budget Gift Ideas
Massage Candles
Ok, I know I just threw a bunch of shade at suggesting candles in the intro, but this is different, I swear!
These just couldn’t be ignored considering how we used to sell a boatload of them around Valentine’s day back in my formative sex shop years.
Once lit, they work as perfectly normal scented candles with one big difference.
The melting “wax” turns into a hot massage oil that you can then drip onto your lover for a warm & unique massage. And there’s something quite unique about the warm massage oil dripping onto your body that is especially stimulating.
So these candles not only provide a nice ambiance and scent but, combined with a toasty massage, could loosen up anyone for something much kinkier afterward.
Did you know that a nice massage can make orgasms easier ( especially for women ) as well?
So let’s just say that these have been a staple of my bedside cabinet for a while now. Which is no small feat considering how many sex toys and tools have made their way in and out of my life.
Just make sure you keep something handy to wipe off your hands after since, like most massage oils, these are not safe to use internally!
It’s time we update the old standard Valentine’s day bedside candles and I have a hunch that these will do just the trick.

Heart Lock Chokers
Chokers and Collars are essentially the wedding rings of the BDSM world.
In my humble and somewhat twisted opinion, it’s simply the best way to say “you’re mine” to your favorite sub or significant other.
Additionally, considering how common and fashionable these have become, no one would think twice if they saw someone rocking a choker in public. So it doesn’t matter if you’re a die-hard BDSM practitioner or just a regular Joe/Jane with these cuties.
So let’s just say that we all lost our collective minds when we first laid our eyes on these.
These are your standard run of the mill chokers but, this time around, they come with a heart-shaped lock to secure it in place.
How something can be so adorable AND sexy at the same time is a mystery to us, but if you want to melt your partner’s heart AND pants off, this is it.
Plus, being made of high-quality leather, they might not be suitable for vegans, but they’re strong enough to tie a leash to them if the need arises!
These beautiful chokers come in black, red, and pink, as well as a multitude of sizes.
So there’s truly a model for anyone.
WHERE TO BUY
Naughty Candy Heart Plugs
Oh here’s another Item I used to sell a ton of around valentines day.These are so damned cute and clever, even I caved in and got one for my girlfriend at the time.
This brilliant take on conversation heart candies are great functional silicone butt plugs with kinky messages included!
They come in Pink, Yellow, and purple and each model comes with a different message. You get to pick different kinky messages like “Do me now”, “Spank me”, or “Be mine”, so it’s a pretty nice escalation from what the candies used to offer!
These adorable nostalgic pieces are the best way to reconcile with the past ( or shove it right up your ass! ).
Additionally, the finish of the plugs is EXTREMELY soft to the touch.
But, being matte, they might require some extra lube to avoid drag during play.
If you’re looking for a nice valentine’s day gift that will transport you back to simpler times, these are pretty hard to beat. Just package them with some actual conversation heart candies for that extra oomph!
If you like the idea of butt plugs for V-day but these aren’t your style, you should also check out our entry on jewel plugs over here!

Mid-Range Gift Ideas
Heart-Shaped Glass Toys
Glass toys are just plain beautiful and, having a very jewel-like quality to them, they make for great gift ideas for your significant other.
Now throw in some heart shaped handles and bases for good measure and you’ve got yourself a perfect valentines day themed sex toy!
And don’t fret folks, being made of borosilicate glass ( what you’ll find in Pyrex ) these won’t just shatter on you, so you can mistreat them all you want.
Of course, we’re not saying that they’re indestructible. But unless they’ve been exposed to large amounts of gamma rays or got bit by a radioactive spider, bums and vags shouldn’t be the end of them.
Another big advantage is that just like silicone, being non-porous, they can be fully sanitized with either a 10-minute boil or a 10% bleach water solution wash followed with a thorough rinse. You can even throw these in the dishwasher if you don’t share them ( Just don’t include them with your actual dishes )!
If you’re looking for a dildo, the Icicles No. 82 and the Heart of Glass are both great choices.
The Icicles No. 82 is the more textured of the two, while the Heart of glass is much smoother and comes with an inconspicuous glass storage base.
Both models come with a stopper, so they’re entirely safe to use either anally as well.
Speaking of butt stuff, if you’d rather go with a butt plug, Icicles make the great No. 74 & 75 as well.
The main difference between the two being the color, with the 74 being black and the 75 being Pink.
Otherwise, they also make the No. 77 which come with rose bases instead. And while not heart-shaped, they still fit the valentines day theme quite well nonetheless.
Just pack these in a nice jewelry box and tie it up with a ribbon for extra effect!

The Rose Toys
Looking for a gift that’ll make your Valentine blush way harder than a dozen red roses?
Move over, traditional romance – this year, These rose toys might just be the unconventional gift that keeps on giving!
These rose-shaped personal massagers have been blooming all over social media. And the big advantage here is that they’re a more affordable take on the more expensive and popular effective air-pulse toys first pioneered by Womanizer.
We’ve got three standout performers in this bouquet of delights:
The INYA Rose is the OG of the bunch and also the cheapest
Powerful enough to practically dance across your nightstand!
It’s a solid silicone sweetheart that’s ready to rumble (quite literally).
Just keep in mind that it’s detailed silicone mold makes it the hardest to clean of the bunch.
ROMP and Lovehoney’s roses are practically identical twins ( except for the colors ),
Sporting 10 different modes they’re also the most gradual of the bunch, so no warm-up required here.
They’re also the only models to be completely waterproof, so bath time just got a whole lot more exciting!
Pro tip: the removable top makes clean-up much easier than the previous model… and you can also play this way if you need more room and intensity!
But the real showstopper is The Viben Zen Rose.
This bad boy is the rumbliest of the bunch – Its signature color ( the best in my opinion ) has a unique marbled look, though you’ll still get your traditional rose toy colors as well.
It also has the largest clitoral opening size, so it should fit most anatomies ( including folks on Testosterone! ).
Since this one will deliver the most powerful orgasms of the bunch, you’ll also be happy to know it’s the easiest to clean of the bunch.
So this Valentine’s Day, forget the generic wilting flowers. Give the gift of sensations that’ll make your partner’s heart (and maybe a few other things) flutter!

Heart Shaped Paddles & Crops
In French, we have an expression that goes “Qui aime bien, châtie bien” which essentially means “Who loves well, punishes well” (I know, how very French of us). Well, these paddles and crops are the pure embodiment of said expression.
Heart shaped or with heart indentations, these will ensure that any self-respecting spank results in a heart-shaped impression on your lover’s body.
How romantic!
Of course, all things that go “WHACK” should be used with caution.
So make sure you read our entry on impact toys in our BDSM tools article to avoid any real damage during play.
If you’re looking for a gift that’ll be sure to leave a mark ( wink, wink ) these are just as adorable as they sting. And there’s really an option for every budget, so no bums should be left unbruised on this year’s valentines day!

Clone-A-Willy/Pussy Silicone & Chocolate Replicas
You know what they say, there’s no greater gift than the gift of oneself.
And there is not a more literal way to do so than with a Clone-a-willy or Clone-a-pussy kit!
These kits will allow you to make a silicone or chocolate replicas of penises and vaginas alike.
The silicone versions of these kits will make for perfectly usable and body-safe toys that’ll remind you of your lover in the best way.
It’s a great way to immortalize your love for each other’s bits nonetheless, unless you go the edible chocolate route, of course. I mean, I don’t know for you, but chocolate is definitely not immortal around me.
And since it’s a ton of silly fun to make these as a couple, you could just give the kit as is, but surprising your loved ones with a finished product is also a great way to go about it.
The silicone kits come in multiple colors, ranging from natural skin tones to more colorful options.
There’s also an ok vibrator bundled with the silicone kits, but it could be pretty underwhelming to some. But don’t you worry since it’s entirely optional to insert it in the finished product in the very last step.
The trickiest part of the process is the molding itself.
So make sure to read up on the process in our dedicated DIY sex toy article if you want to avoid any complications.
We also outline some ways of making a stopper for your DIY dildos, a step that could be pretty useful if one of you plan on using their dildo anally.

High-End Gift Ideas
Crave’s Vesper
Gifting a beautiful necklace to your significant other is a staple of romantic gift giving and the Vesper bridges the gap between jewelry and sex toys in such a beautiful way.
The Vesper by Crave is a beautiful stealthy piece of jewelry that you can easily carry in the bedroom when things get a little heated.
Embraced by celebrities and fashionistas alike, this bullet vibrator necklace is really as stylish as it gets.
Plus, just like chokers have made their way out of the bedroom, this beautiful piece of jewelry aims to do the same for bullet vibes. And again, just like chokers, there’s something especially romantic about attaching one of these to your lover’s neck after the great unveiling!
Made of medical grade stainless steel, Crave’s opus can be plated with a hint of rose gold or completely covered with 24 karat gold for an extra fee.
And of course, if you’re not satisfied with the standard chain it comes with, you can easily replace it with a longer or fancier chain of your choosing.
When it comes to the vibrations, the Vesper leans a bit more towards Buzzy than Rumbly.
And while this would usually be a negative thing for most women, the slim metallic frame carries the vibrations in a surprising and satisfying way. A lot of women who usually prefer rumbles in their toys, report enjoying the Vesper nonetheless.
Due to its slim nature, this luxury vibrator can be pretty pinpoint. But know that if you’re not into that type of stimulation, holding the Vesper loosely or by the chain could solve it for you. Heck, it can be pretty sexy to tease yourself or someone else this way no matter if you prefer pinpoint vibrations or not.
To top it all off, the Vesper is rechargeable and holds a pretty long charge.
And while it is splashproof, it isn’t submersible under water, so keep it out of the bath and jacuzzi if you want it to live a long happy life.
Is your partner more of a Ring person? If so definitely check out the Unbound Flick Vibrating Ring.
The design in not only gorgous, but it’s also super functional since you can just flip the ring around and use it that way.
Plus, the shape allows you to surround the clitoris instead of using pinpoint stimulation like the Crave Vesper. So it might actually be better for your significant other if they’re built that way!

Heart Wedge By Liberator
Faithful readers will know that we’re complete suckers for Liberator.
May it be for their ramps and wedges, waterproof throws, toy holders, or sex furniture, they’ve always managed to get our praise.
But what made them so popular is definitely their flagship ramps and wedges, allowing bottoms to comfortably align their hips, whether in missionary or doggy, in a way that is favorable for G-Spot & Prostate stimulation.
And there’s no greater gift than the G-Spot and Prostate orgasms that these will facilitate!
Couple this with the fact that their covers are removable and machine washable, and you got yourself a pretty irresistible combo.
Especially when you’re trying to keep your damned pillows clean!
The heart wedge is no different, but with one pretty awesome exception:
It is so inconspicuous that it could easily be left in your bed or even on your couch without raising any questions from nosy visitors.
Which is great since these spots are most likely where you’ll end up going to town on each other!
