Gifting a vibrator in the modern age isn’t as shocking as it once was; people are more open about sexuality, and sex toys are officially mainstream. In fact, many people receive their first toy from a friend. Still, this kind of gift requires a little thought.

The golden rule? Trust your gut. If you’re close, have talked openly about intimacy, or know they’d genuinely enjoy it, you’re probably safe. When in doubt, asking first is always better than risking awkwardness. Keep the gift simple; beginner-friendly options like bullet or dual-action vibrators are usually a win.

Timing also matters. Skip public or family settings and choose a private moment instead. If it’s for a partner, even better this can be something you both enjoy. Just don’t give vibrators as gag gifts or workplace presents, or assume everyone has the same preferences. Sexuality isn’t a joke, and thoughtfulness goes a long way.
