Which items would you be willing to give another couple as a gift? Assume that you think they would be interested and that price isn't a factor.

Discuss your answers! What do you think would be inappropriate to give to another couple?

I'm just curious, that's all!

If I were to make a gift basket for a couple (me being a friend of both), I would include a massage oil candle (or even the candle sampler), a bottle of gender-neutral bubble bath/shower gel, eyemask, a classy bottle of lube, an artistic cock ring, their favorite bottle of wine, two wine glasses, a $100 gift card to EF, and a Liberator heart pillow.

Nothing requiring batteries, nothing specific to fetishes (bondage, pegging, etc), and nothing that requires instructions to read beforehand.

If it was a couple I knew quite well, I would give them anything I thought they would want including some more intimate gifts. If it was a couple I knew well, but not too well, I would stick to massage oils or candles and the like.

A giftcard would be best so that they could get whatever kind of kinky stuff they like!

I think it depends on what they are into and your comfort level with them. You could get creative or just give them a card with a giftcard or a dozen different things in between. If your very close to them I would go the personal route and get some things that they would enjoy together. If they are kinky get them kinky toys, if the are romantic wine candles and massage oil or that type of thing. Im sure anything you got would be appreciated though.

That's a great idea for a gift basket.

It would depend on the couple. When my current partner was dating his ex, I got both of them gag gifts for Christmas! Got her a vibrator and him a packet of sex checks. He thought it was hilarious but she was SUPER pissed off at me. Luckily he kept the sex checks so we used them after we started dating

I'd probably give a gift card unless I knew the couple very well.

All of the above? It would really depend on what they like and what I knew they were into. If nothing else, a gift card would be a good bet. Let them decide, that way there will be no awkward surprises.

When I get gifts for couples, I usually only get gifts for those who I know wouldn't mind sex toys. If it's one of those couples I'm not quite sure about, I go for thinks like massage oil kits, or massagers that can be used for the back and body as well as the nether regions.

If they are more of close friends, cock rings, lubricants, vibrators, and massage oils are what I aim for.

I voted Lube and Massage Oil, anything else is getting too personal. But Eden offers Gift Cards so that is a even better alternative.

A massage kit would be even cooler.

Hot damn! You definitely spoil your friends!

I think massage oil or a whip would be gifts I might give to another couple. I think a gift card would be the best over all though, that way I don't know what they bought and they can get anything they want!

It would depend on what you knew the couple was into or into trying maybe even something multitasking so I chose a dildo-good for many different things. If all else fails a gift card or gift basket with varied items.

It really would depended on the couple, but for a generic basket where price isn't an object. I'd go with Chilipepper's recommendations. Back in the world where prices does matter I'd take her gift basket and begging subtracting the most expensive item till a reach something within my budget.

It depends on the couple! Most of the people I am close to would love getting a harness in a basket, so in my circle of friends? Dildos, harnesses and maybe some choice kinky accessories would probably go over best. Romantic stuff like oil and bath gels would never be unappreciated I'm sure, but they would be an after thought for me.

tl;dr - Know your audience!

Massage oil is pretty universal.

Wow, that's a dream basket right there!

I would have said a gift card and the Afterglow massage candle sampler.

Massage tools. Something very generic that wasn't just for genitals but also for sore backs.

Really depends on the couple. I guess I would say that I would give most any of those if I knew for sure they wouldn't think I was a) creepy and that they would b) want that specific item.

Massage oil is the only item on this list I would give. The others are too intimate (I don't have any friends I'm THAT close to), and I'd also feel embarrassed/awkward to receive them from friends. I like Chilipepper's idea of a gift basket.

love this reply, I agree. I wouldn't get anything specific because I think those things should be left up to each persons likes and dislikes. I would also add in a massager like the octopus or contour M

I'd get them one of those massage candles, unless I knew they had interest in other things. Usually I ask what someone wants before I get them a gift (or atleast a hint), so that I know it will be enjoyed!

It would really depend on the couple, closeness and how comfortable you are with them to give them such a gift.
