Holiday Gift Guide

Hey everybody!

How is your Holiday Shopping going so far?  I actually finished mine before Halloween for once so now I just get to buy myself goodies now that the sales are going.  Recently, I bought myself an early Christmas present (THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE HERE TODAY DAMN IT!).  It's a Hitachi Magic Wand.  Yep, I'm excited to get it, especially since I got an amazing deal on it.  You should see the review on it pop up someone close in the near future.

But, back to holiday shopping and the lovely deals that come with it.  Obviously you don't want to put that awesome new dildo on your wish list, so splurging a little on yourself is necessary, and not quite so guilty when these great deals pop up.  So..

Review: Laid Cock Ring P.3

Babeland is a great provider of sex toys. They offer a wide assortment for both males and females. From sexy clothing, to lubes, dildos and more, Babeland is sure to have it!

Enjoy a fuller, harder erection in style with the help of the Laid P.3 Cock Ring. This medical-grade silicone ring is designed for men to wear around the shaft of the penis (add some water-based lube for ease), shaped for a snug fit and for his partner's clitoral stimulation. The firm material provides plenty of support, with just enough stretch for a comfortable fit. Representing some of the very best in new sex toy design, Laid is a new Norway-based company from whom we're expecting great things; be among the first to get on board! Note: this product has a one-year warranty against breakage or defects.
Description taken from here.




The Laid Cock Ring P.3 is $31 and is available in 3 different colors: Blue, Black, and Currant (which a lovely darker grey shade).  Babeland sent me my Laid in the color Currant. 

First I want to talk packaging.  This was packaged so nicely.  Sometimes I feel like company's skimp on the packaging, and yes, I know you throw it away so it really shouldn't be a big deal, but I feel like packaging really helps to sell the product.  If you shop online, the packaging isn't such a big seller, but when your mail arrives and your new toy is here and your so excited to use it, you want to see nice packaging because the packaging should refect on how great the product is, right?  Anyway, that's just how I feel about it.  But the packaging on the Laid Cock Ring was very nice.  It came in a cute little box and was all protected (even though it can't really break).  Take a look below to see the packaging:

Next I just want to say that this is the best designed cock ring I own.  I love the texture (it is made out of medical grade silicone).  It is so soft and smooth to the touch.  The design is sleek and simply beautiful.  It even comes with a small tube of lube to more easily get the ring on.

Now it would depend on what size your guy is on how it fits.  Obviously, if your guy is bigger around then it will be more snug, and if he is more on the thin side, then it will be looser.  Either way, the ring comes in one size.  The inner diameter of the ring is 1-1/2" depending on how much you stretch it.

I love my Laid Cock Ring.  It is gorgeous, it does what it says, and it's at a great affordable price of $31.00.  If you like cock rings, get one.  If you want to try one out, this is the one to try.

Review: Berman Athena Waterproof Mini-Massager

This sex toy review sponsored by Adult Sex Toys : over 8,000 sex toys and adult toys to choose from.



I received the Berman Athena Waterproof Mini-Massager to review from Adult Sex Toys.com.

Discreet, powerful, waterproof massager with 4 interchangeable soft Silicone tips. 1 AA battery, not included. Part of the Berman Center Intimate Accessories line. Products designed for women, by women to give you and your partner exactly what you need to optimize your sex life. description taken from here.

First a few facts about the Athena:

• The Athena comes with 4 attachment heads.  This allows for 4 different feels with just the one vibe.

• The Athena is $6.95
• It takes only 1 AA battery to power.
• The Athena is made out of silicone, which is a material unable to properly sanitize, so no sharing!
• As the name says, the Athena is waterproof so you can take it in the bath.

 The Athena is small, which makes storage easy, and cleaning is also quick and easy.  It isn't a very strong vibrator though.  But, you have to figure that when you get such a small toy, especially one that only needs one battery.  Personally, I don't think the toy is worth it just because the vibration levels are so low for me.  It doesn't do enough for me.  If you are an overally sensitive woman, then it might work, but the Athena just isn't for me.

I wouldn't recommend this particular toy, but, I would say to go check out AdultSexToy.com's $10 and Under section which offers a big selection of toys to choose from for less out of your pocket.

Review: Dirty Dice

Babeland is a great provider of sex toys. They offer a wide assortment for both males and females. From sexy clothing, to lubes, dildos and more, Babeland is sure to have it!

Dirty Dice is a great and cheap way (only $7!) to spice up any relationship.  It doesn't matter if you want to spice things up with your long time lover or break the ice with your newest flame, Dirty Dice is a good idea.


Whether you're a lucky lady or a gamblin' gent, this dice game will add laughter to your sex/play. One die names a body part and the other die tells you what to do with it. Favorite combinations are "suck lips" and "lick below waist".  description taken from here.



Babeland sent me the dice to review.  They arrived quickly in the mail in discreet packaging and I was pretty happy with what I saw.  The first thing I noticed about the dice is that they come with an adorable baby pink mesh bag with satin string tie.  The bag is great to store the dice in, that way you can always find both when they are needed.  The mesh material is nice too, that way you can see through the bag to know if you found what you are looking for (I own a few little bags like this with "goodies" so seeing through the bag is a nice thing).

The dice themselves are also pink, which you can see from the picture above.  One of the dice displays an action "kiss", "blow", etc.  And, the other dice directs you on where to perform the action.  The body parts are very vague.  They are "lips", "breast", "below waist" and "above waist".  For couples who are looking to spice things up, this is great to give you room to play.  On the other hand, for newer couples

this might be something too vague to care for just because of lack of direction.

The dice are lightweight.  They are made of plastic and are just $7.00.  And, just a thought, these would make great stocking stuffers since the holidays are coming up!  Treat yourself, and your loved one, to a special little treat with the Dirty Dice!

Review: Hathor Aphrodisia sensual love lotion

I really like shopping the Eden Fantasy site. They have a nice wide range of products, and not all of them sex toys. They also have lingerie, board games to heat up the moment, and, cute little bath sets with lotions and massage oils. Their site is clean and user friendly, which is a great thing, because who likes to turn red from embarrassment when shopping?? Not me, that's for sure. But, even on their sexual products, like the DVDs and dildos, the site manages to still look clean and pretty, allowing me to avoid the blushing.



I received the Hathor Aphrodisia sensual love lotion to review.

This aromatic moisturizing lotion will add more allure to your appearance as it contains aphrodisiac herbal extracts and essential oils. All natural it is easily absorbed by skin and will make your skin soft and smooth. description taken from here.


The lotion is $24.99 for a (one size only) 4 fl. oz. tube.  It is

L-Arginine free, Petro-chemicals free, and Paraben free.  The lotion is not very thick, instead leaning towards runny.  That is not to say that it is runny, but it is very close to it.  I personally prefer a bit thicker of a lotion, almost like a body butter for my skin. 

It does have a wonderful scent.  In the bottle, when I first opened it to take a 'wiff, I was 'ohh, that's over powering'.  However, I put some on anyways, and really, once you rub it in the palm of your hand, the smell is already calm enough where you don't have to worry about getting a headache or anything (I don't know about you, but some really strong scents will give me a headache).  Now, I can't really say what it smells like.  The bottle doesn't say what the scent is and I'm having problems placing it.  But, I once had an organic soap that was lemongrass scented, and that's really what it reminds me of.  It's clean and lulling like the scent of lemongrass, yet it has

a slight tang to the scent.  Eden Fantasys website says the "Flavor" is assorted.  DO NOT TASTE IT!  This is not for tasting or "eating" purposes.  Trust me, it's gross.  This is just a body lotion, not a special lube, or anything like that.  It is just a body lotion that is on a sexual website with "aphrodisiac properties".

When I wear this lotion, people compliment me on the way I smell.  But, I wouldn't buy this lotion once I run out.  Not for $25 anyway.  I think that is way too high for a non designer named brand lotion. 

Bottom Line:  Love the lotion, hate the price. 

**Thanks to Eden Fantasys who supplied the review item to me free of charge in exchange for my honest review.  I was not paid for posting this.**

Review: Afternoon Delights Kit

I love Good Vibes.  They have an awesome selection of sex toys to chose from.  Their site is clean and mellow, and I just like the customer service they provide.  They are one of my top favorite online sex toy stores to frequent.



This time around I recieved the Afternoon Delights Kit to review.

We've got your skyrockets right here! Perfect accessories for that weekend afternoon or the extra-long lunch away from the office--you won't want to stop until it gets dark when you're accessorizing your erotic adventure with delicious Smooch Me lip lube and Lust Dust Edible Body Powder, slippery and sensual Knead Me massage lotion, the arousing vibrations of a waterproof mini bullet, and sample packets of Please lubricant.


Our sensual, sexy kits are perfect presents for a night or day of romance, to take along on a trip out of town, as frisky party favors or bridesmaids' gifts. Send a sexy message or just stock up on erotic delights so you'll have them at home when the time is right! All our Good Vibes Body & Massage products are deliciously scented or flavored with natural ingredients and essential oils, so relax and indulge in your pleasures.
 description taken from here.



I recieved my kit very quickly in the mail in a nice brown box that did not indicate in any way that it was from a sex toy or adult company. 

The kit comes with:

•1 Waterproof Mini Bullet Vibrator


•1 Lust Dust Edible Body Powder 20 ml

•1 Knead Me Massage Lotion .5 oz

•1 Smooch Me Lip Lube 1 oz

•2 Please Lubricant Samples 5 ml each

and is $29.00
 
The mini bullet is no bigger than 1" or 1 1/2", it is very small.  It takes 3 tiny watch batteries, which it comes with, and they are very easy to put in.  For such a tiny vibe, this thing is LOUD.  Behind a closed door, a person would only hear a slight hum if they were listening for it.  However, when you are in the room with it, it is very loud.  Extremely loud for something so small.  I have much bigger vibes that create a small fraction of the noise this bullet does.

The Lust Dust comes with a mini buffer (ladies think of those old powders you would get for your makeup, those big puff balls they would stick in the tin to apply it.  This is what I'm talking about.) to apply the dust.  The dust smells like strawberries, and has a nice light taste that I enjoyed.  The Lust Dust is a sexy idea to spice things up, and I have a feeling I might be reaching for it again pretty soon.

The Smooch Me Lip Lube came in Cinnamon Spice and is full sized.  You can buy the Lip Lube on its own for just $6.50 and you have a choice of 4 different flavors: Pomegranate Mint, Cherry Vanilla, Cinnamon Spice and Mojito.  The Cinnamon Spice I received smells awesome!  Super Cinnamon-y and very much reminds me of Christmas time when we go out and buy cinnamon pine cones to make the house smell festive.  The texture is nice and smooth as well.  I like this product a lot.

The lube samples come in 2 different types.  One is a gel and the other is a cream.  I have had a sample of the cream before and liked it.  Before this kit, I had not tried the gel.  It is nice but I think I just prefer the cream texture (just personal preference).

The kit is $29.00.

Review: Nights of Romance Kit

I love Good Vibes.  They have an awesome selection of sex toys to chose from.  Their site is clean and mellow, and I just like the customer service they provide.  They are one of my top favorite online sex toy stores to frequent.


This kit brings everything but the pillow talk! All you need for a lingering yet explosive night of love is here: sensual touch with Touch Me massage oil; slippery, silky delights courtesy of Please Pleasure Cream; and a Vibrating Couples Ring for the climactic scene. Keep it on hand for your next date night, or use it to send your lover a very special message: tonight's the night!


Our sensual, sexy kits are perfect presents for a night or day of romance, to take along on a trip out of town, as frisky party favors or bridesmaids' gifts. Send a sexy message or just stock up on erotic delights so you'll have them at home when the time is right! All our Good Vibes Body & Massage products are deliciously scented or flavored with natural ingredients and essential oils, so relax and indulge in your pleasures. description taken from here.

The Nights of Romance Kit comes with

•1 Vibrating Couples Ring


•1 Please Pleasure Cream .5oz

•1 Touch Me Massage Oil .5oz


And is $18.00




Now, the Vibrating Ring can only be used once.  After that, it must be thrown away.  It is only made for a one time use.  If you or your partner are curious (but not yet sure) about using a cock ring, you might want to consider getting this kit just so you can have the opportunity to try out a vibrating ring. The massage oil only has enough in the bottle for about just one use.  Yet, the small tub of pleasure cream has enough in it to make this kit worth the $18 it is.

I love the packaging you get with any of the Good Vibes kits.  They are just so cute and small enough to be able to put just about anywhere.  They remind me of mini Chinese take-out boxes.  They are great for if you just want to get a small variety of things to try out, they make great gifts for your friends, gag gifts if you want to make a joke, or a nice little spicer-upper for those couples out there who need to remind their partners they still need to stay warm at night.

Review: Foxy Bombshell Panties

Babeland is a great provider of sex toys. They offer a wide assortment for both males and females. From sexy clothing, to lubes, dildos and more, Babeland is sure to have it!


Sexy lingerie is the perfect accent to any striptease, so seduce your sweetie with the Foxy Bombshell Panty. Silky, petal pink material flatters your curves with a hipster bikini cut, while a black bow allows you to adjust the fit (not to mention show off a little butt cleavage). And this pretty pair comes packaged in an adorable box, modeled after a dresser drawer — makes a perfect gift. Available in Small (23" - 38" hip) and Large (27" - 42" hip). Note: Due to the nature of this product, all sales are final. description taken from here.

First I want to show you guys a picture of what the panties come in.  The box is just too adorable, and they are packaged so nicely.  GUYS- This would be a perfect gift idea for your someone special and you wouldn't even have to wrap it!

The packaging.

Open the little "drawer" to get to your panties!

Ok, so now what these gorgeous panties look like:

They are made from 95% Silk and 5% Lycra.  They feel awesome on and give an immediate "lift" to any one's rear end because of the scrunching.  The Foxy Bombshell Panties come in 2 sizes only (this might be the only thing I can say badly about them).  Small and Large (although on the box if you order large it will say "Plus Size").   They are $26 for one pair of panties.

I love these panties!  Why?  1) They lift my butt which makes me feel amazing.  2) The cover really well (except for the one area at the top where there is a cut out for "butt cleavage")  3) The top area where the cut out is is super cute with the bow and super sexy with the looks  4)They are super cute 5) They are so comfortable to wear!

I think $26 for one pair of panties is a little much personally.  I love them and everything, but I don't think I would buy them for $26.  Don't get me wrong, the quality is certainly there and everything, but I just wouldn't feel comfortable spending that much money on one pair of underwear.  If it were a 2 pack, on the other hand, I would be buying them alright.  That said, I cannot say anything bad about the panties.  I truly love them and they would make a great addition for any one's pantie drawer.

Review: Open Invitation

Babeland is a great provider of sex toys. They offer a wide assortment for both males and females. From sexy clothing, to lubes, dildos and more, Babeland is sure to have it!

If you've ever been curious about swinging/group sex/sex parties, satisfy your voyeuristic cravings with An Open Invitation: A Real Swingers' Party in San Francisco. Follows a couple as they spice up their relationship by joining the San Francisco swinger scene, enjoying orgies, anal play, voyeurism, and use of great sex toys like the Njoy Pfun Plug and Hitachi Magic Wand. Best of all, the cast consists of 127 real-life swingers, studded with 15 porn stars, so you're sure to get a great mix of bodies, sexualities, and personalities. Includes safer sex practices, as well as discussions and definitions of polyamory and swinging.
description taken from here.


Almost everyone watches porn.  Some might not want to admit it, but almost everyone watches it, or has watched it before.  As a girl, there is nothing I hate more than watching porn and it being nothing but blow job after blow job.  It gets old and that is not something that turns me on after a while.  Therefore, I was pretty happy with Open Invitation, which had a nice variety of sexual encounters.

Open Invitation features the following:

Blow Jobs
Anal Sex
Vaginal Sex
Voyeurism
Orgies
Lesbian Sex
and more.


There is a scene for just about everyone.  Minus some BDSM, there is a little something in the movie for just about everyone out there.  What I liked about Open Invitation as well, was the fact that it held a nice plot.  You didn't start the movie with a sex scene or anything like that, instead you opened with a married couple having a conversation together after work.  But, my point is, that it managed to be a very sexy and satisfying porno while still managing to have a small story line, plot, etc.  It made the movie that much better because the people managed to actually keep up their guise of another person and story.

The scenes were good, the cast was good and the movie is only $34.  All in all, I think this porno is a real winner.  It was sexy and fun to watch.  An Open Invitation: A Real Swingers' Party in San Francisco is over 2 hours long AND has bonus features!
