Have You Got Vibrator Gifting Anxiety?

Do you love the idea of gifting pleasure but when you get to the checkout your palms go sweaty and your gut screams "ABANDON CART"?

You're not alone. In a recent Instagram Poll, 43% of That's The Spot followers who took part in the survey, named not knowing how the gift would be received as the reason they haven't committed to sending a vibrating present. On top of this another 14% said the general stigma around sex toys was holding them back.

Sending a vibrator as casually as you may have traditionally gifted flowers or food is a new concept. It's so new, That's The Spot is the first and only dedicated gifting space for sex toys. As with anything new, a cautious approach and a bit of uncertainty is natural and normal.

If you're feeling a little on the anxious side about your cart, keep reading as we have some top resources, reviews and advice for making gifting pleasure a comfortable, confident and enjoyable experience. 

 

Resource: A Guide To Initiating Conversations About Pleasure by Niamh Mannion

Niamh breaks down key talking points for pleasure gifting in her article which can be read in full here.

Some key tips from the piece on conversations around pleasure might assist in your gifting journey:

  1. Start by checking in. Consent is key and exploring topics around sexuality can be tricky for some people.
  2. Starting by expressing your own thoughts and feelings. This opens the door for your conversation partner to jump in with theirs if they feel comfortable.
  3. Offer open-ended questions that allow the other person to share their perspective. Get curious with your questions and make space to hear the answers.
  4. Share resources. The power of shared experiences are unmatched, you may wish to share your favourite websites, visit adult stores and connect with social media platforms to find the mode of pleasure that feels right for you.

 

Review: Let's look at what people are saying about their That's The Spot vibrating gifts ...

My cousin sent me Lift Off for my Birthday. Hands down the best present I received. - GR, TAS

 

I was gifted my first vibrator (Lil Bud) and I had never used one before. I now realise the importance of this form of self-love and can’t believe it took me 34 years to try one! - Beth, VIC

 

I love the packaging and the little pouch. So discreet but then so fun and professional once you opened the box. Love love love!!! - Lauren, VIC

 

Wowzers, what a great present. Discreet, super fun and cheeky. My bestie loved it! Thank you for a fab alternative to flowers. - Amy, VIC

 

I was gifted a Bestie with some other goodies, not only do I enjoy using it by myself, but it has reinvigorated the bedroom for me and my husband after having kids! - Kate, VIC

 

Reception: Unless you're buying a gift that someone has specifically told you they want, the reality is you will never know if someone is going to 100% love what you buy. Weather you're sending self-love to your bestie, your partner, your lover or someone else, if you had the idea to gift them a vibrator, they're probably someone who you feel will respond well to the gesture. Go with your gut and trust that you know your people.

At That's The Spot every package is posted in a discreet mailer box. Our product packaging, box filler, vibes and giftable goodies are bright, colourful, approachable and inclusive. Gifting a vibrator care package with That's The Spot is a totally different experience to simply purchasing a sex toy from an online store. A gift bundle from That's The Spot is recipient centric, aesthetically pleasing and designed to make the recipient feel next level special.

Wipe those sweaty palms, take a deep breath and go spoil someone special with the ultimate in gifting, the gift of self-love.
