birthday gift

What do you think about buying sex toys as birthday gifts? I did it and now I am wondering if this was what I should have done. 

i have brought one for someone before and they didn't take offence to it in any way.

why do you think you shouldn't have done it?

it depends who the gift is for obviously, but if for a cose friend or a partner its a great gift, so long as they are not intimidating

definitely more information needed on this.

Don't give them to family members. It can only lead to grief.

have you done that?

Egads no. I'm the kinda person that would though.

And my family would just be like "That Graymatter, what a character! Ho ho ho"

I would love to be bought a sex toy as a gift as long as I don't have to open it in front of my family

I don't see any probs as long as they're the type to use it.

I'm about to give a friend of mine this book :http://www.lovehoney.co.uk/product.cfm?p=8716 : as his wedding pressie today...  I think he'll find it very amusing, but not sure what his wife will think.... should i just give it to  him anonymously?

depends on the person. You might want to give us a little more info. How long have you known him/her? What relationship etc...

slong asyou know the person wellyou can be sure they will like your present, so just choose the toy you think they will enjoy them most.

me and my best friend are always buying sex toys ad things fo each other for presents and me and my fiance do sometimes

I think it really depends on the person. There are so many things you need to consider.

If they already own sex toys, then there's probably a good chance they'll like recieveing sex toys as a gift. If you know what toys they have, then you have the choice of buying them something similar you know they'll like, or perhaps buying them something different to experiment with. If I was on the recieving end, I'd like to try something new! Of course, you have to use your judgment on that to judge what else you think they'd like. I'm up for new stuff, but there's some stuff I'd be reluctant to try.

If they havent used sex toys before, then you really have to judge whether or not they'd react well to recieving one, and if they're likely to actually use the thing. In this case, it may be crucial to select the right kind of toy, since this really hook them on sex toys, or put them off them forever! It's probably best to go with something small and simple. I'll always remember when I was shopping for my first sex toy. I was in Ann Summers and they had a rabbit in there, the thing was HUGE! My vaginal muscles hurt at just the thought of trying to put something that big inside me. It might also be worth considering if they have a need to hide it from other people, and if so, where. I'd be more reluctant to give one to someone who lived with their parents than somene living in their own house.

Either way, consider the company you're going to give them the gift in. I'd recommend giving it to them in private.

And of course, make sure it has batteries in it! There's nothing worse than a sex toy with no batteries in it!
