How to Choose the Perfect Vibrator as a Christmas Gift Without Overthinking It
Your fuss-free guide to gifting pleasure with confidence this festive season.
Choosing a vibrator as a Christmas gift can feel a little like stepping onto a stage where everyone else somehow already knows the dance steps. But it doesn’t need to be complicated, intimidating, or wrapped in guesswork. With a little guidance—and the right questions—you can give a gift that’s thoughtful, exciting and genuinely confidence-building.
Here’s the calm, clever, absolutely no need to panic guide to finding the perfect vibrator for someone you love (or someone you’ve recently started… appreciating).
Why a Vibrator Makes an Incredible Christmas Gift
Pleasure products have moved out of the shadows and into the realm of wellbeing and modern self-care. A great vibrator isn’t just a toy—it’s an invitation to explore comfort, confidence, connection, and fun.
Whether you’re shopping for a partner or treating yourself (a highly recommended tradition), vibrators make exceptionally meaningful gifts because they show you’ve put thought into their pleasure, not just their present pile.
Step 1: Think About Their Comfort Level
You don’t need a detailed inventory of their fantasies—just a general sense of what will make them feel at ease.
Here’s a quick cheat-sheet:
-
For beginners:
Choose something small, quiet, and non-intimidating. Think cute vibes, soft silicone textures, or simple external vibrators. We recommend our Madame Mango palm vibe. -
For the somewhat adventurous:
Go for more powerful, versatile toys like rabbit vibrators or suckling/clitoral stimulators. Velveteen and Lil Bud will hit the spot here. -
For the experienced or curious:
Explore dual-stimulation toys, remote-controlled options, or products designed for partnered play. You can't go past Dos Amigos.
This isn’t about being cautious—it’s about matching your gift to their comfort zone so it feels thoughtful rather than overwhelming.
Step 2: Consider Their Preferences—Without Making It Weird
If you already know what they enjoy, fantastic. If not, answering a few low-pressure questions can guide your choice:
-
Do they enjoy external stimulation?
→ Look at suction toys or a novelty shape like Duke. -
Do they prefer internal toys?
→ Explore G-spot vibrators or slender internal vibes. Hello Bestie. -
Do they talk about wanting more variety?
→ Consider a toy with multiple patterns or interchangeable heads. Dos Amigos for the win!
If you’re gifting a partner, you can even turn this into a light, playful conversation:
“If you could magically design your perfect vibe, what would it do?”
It’s subtle and surprisingly enlightening.
Step 3: Keep Quality at the Top of Your Checklist
A good vibrator is a wellness product, not a novelty trinket. You want:
-
Body-safe silicone
-
Reliable motors
-
Quiet operation
-
Strong customer reviews
-
A solid warranty
(That’s The Spot offers a 12-month quality guarantee, so you’re covered.)
High-quality toys last longer, feel better on the skin, and make for a much safer and more enjoyable experience.
Step 4: Look for Christmas-Friendly Features
Some features turn a vibrator from “fun” into “absolutely nailed the gifting brief”:
-
Rechargeable battery
(Nobody wants to say “thanks” while secretly hunting for AA batteries.) -
Waterproof design
Great for baths, showers, holidays and easy cleaning. -
Discreet size
Perfect for stockings, travel, or those who keep their nightstand on the minimal side. -
Beautiful packaging
A luxe unboxing moment makes everything feel more special. (At That's The Spot we offer gift wrapping!)
Step 5: Choose Based on Vibe (Pun Under Control… Mostly)
There’s no single “perfect vibrator” for everyone, but there is a perfect category for every kind of gift giver:
-
Romantic gift-giver:
Look for soft silicone, gentle colours, intimate designs, or toys designed for couples. -
Practical gift-giver:
Choose a versatile, powerful, easy-to-use toy and don't forget to throw in some lube! -
Playful gift-giver:
Go for something with character, or a little technological magic. -
Self-gifter:
Whatever lights you up. You’re both the shopper and the delight-ee. You win.
The Vibe You Choose Is a Message—Make It a Sweet One
Gifting a vibrator says:
I care about your pleasure. I respect your comfort. I want you to feel good in your body.
It’s thoughtful, warm, and surprisingly sentimental.
And when you choose a well-made, body-safe vibrator that suits their personality and comfort level, you’ve given them something joyful that can last long after the tinsel comes down.
