Gifting season is well and truly upon us. With Christmas right around the corner and some fun sales kicking off, it’s the perfect time to start planning what to put under the tree or sneak into someone special’s stocking.
One of the hardest people I personally find to shop for is my partner-of-the-moment, especially when things are still new, exciting, and you’re figuring out exactly what you are. You want something that strikes the perfect balance between flirty but not over-the-top and cheeky yet thoughtful.
To give you a hand, I’ve become somewhat of an intimate gifting expert over my years of situationships – testing, trialling and sourcing some of the hottest presents for you and your lover. Think gifts that spark connection, fuel chemistry, and will of course earn you major brownie points.
So whether you’re in a long-term relationship or in a new, hot and steamy situationship, keep reading to find some of the sexiest presents to unwrap this year.
Something Delicious
Jas Choc is Australia’s first-ever aphrodisiac chocolate, and not only is it delicious, but it is crafted for those indulgent, intimate moments. Locally made in Melbourne, JasChoc blends the taste of chocolate that we all know and love with natural mood-boosting ingredients like maca root and horny goat weed. It’s the perfect combination of indulgence and cheekiness.
I recently took a bag of these chocolates on a date, and let me tell you, it was an instant vibe shift in the best (and sexiest) kind of way. 10/10 recommend.
JasChoc, Aphrodisiac Chocolate, $39.99
Something to Make Them Think of You
A friend once told me that, early in a relationship, she gifted her not-yet-boyfriend a beautiful bottle of red wine for Christmas, tied with an envelope filled with sexy Polaroid photos just for his eyes to see. I thought that was the hottest idea ever and I’m just waiting for the right moment to whip out my new Polaroid Flip to recreate. I may need to get a bit better at taking selfies in the meantime…
Oh, and FYI, that couple is now married, so I’d say the gift did more than its intended job!

Something Fun for the Two of You
We all love a vibrator (okay, I MAY be talking for everyone here), but sometimes, they can feel a little bit solo and aren’t always the easiest thing to integrate into a relationship in the early stages. One way to make it easier, and sexier, is LBDO’s Loop – a vibrating ring created to enhance both pleasure and connection.
Not only can Loop be used together (and apart), but it is also housed in the most beautiful sculptural case that is discreet and display-worthy, giving it a real premium and sophisticated feel. Who knew vibrators could be so pretty!
Something Romantic for the Two of You
If you really want to score some romance points, put some time and effort in and plan the perfect date for your lover. It doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive; it just needs to have some real thought and care. Perhaps organise your partner’s dream day, filled with all their favourite things to do, a sexy intimate dinner or organise a little cabin getaway where you can really switch off, unwind and spend some time just the two of you.
