2023 Holiday Gift Guide: My Top Picks for the Hottest Holidays Ever

Magazine Edit of Emily for the SWE 2023 Holiday Gift Guide

The absolute best sex upgrades? The most sensual lifestyle goodies? Sexual wellness products that nourish mind, body, and soul? I got you. 

I love curating sexy gift ideas for your holidays. This year, I’m focusing on multi-sensory gifts that give them (or you) that special something, whether it’s an arousal boost or a wholly unforgettable orgasm. 

Pleasure is free, but gifts aren’t. So I’m keeping everyone’s budget in mind, with items ranging wallet-friendly to splurge-worthy. From romance to beauty, wellness to pleasure, you’ll find something for everyone here…and probably be tempted to snatch up a few for yourself.

 

For the Sex Toy Specialist

 

LELO Enigma Wave and Loki Wave 2 on pale background w/ SWE lips logo in upper left

These toys for the holy grail of orgasms

ENIGMA Wave (for vulva magic) and LOKI Wave 2 (for prostate pleasure) by LELO

$207.20 (ENIGMA Wave) // $142.35 (LOKI Wave 2)

Anyone can have a blended orgasm: that highly coveted type of O where you have two different types of orgasms at once. ENIGMA Wave stimulates the external clitoris with sonic pulses that feel just like oral sex, while the internal arm vibes and pulses on the G-spot in a finger-like motion. Meanwhile, LOKI Wave 2 fits inside the anus while you masturbate with an internal arm that pleasures the prostate, with a smaller external arm that vibrates on the perineum while you masturbate. Cue seeing-stars orgasm.

Arcwave Ion, Ghost, Pow, and Voy on pale background w/ SWE lips logo in upper left

These strokers that make masturbation legit thrilling

Arcwave Ion

$199 

If you’ve never tried a stroker during solo sex, you’re in for a real treat: they provide texture, suction and/or vibration to reach deeper nerve endings and give wildly intense orgasms. Arcwave makes 4 to suit your masturbation game, Ghost for texture and pleasure, Pow for suction and oral-like sensations, Voy for a tightness squeeze your hand can’t match, and Ion for pulsating airwaves that stimulate nerve endings you didn’t even know you had. The Ion is my favorite… Rather than relying on vibrations, it uses Pleasure Air technology: think targeted, pulsating airwaves to take you to climax.
