Gift of the Day: A Vibrator to Melt Away Holiday Stress

Because sometimes family festivities aren’t the vibe.

Things would have unfolded far less frenzied if the adults in Love Actually just had access to a vibrator (no falling for your spoken-for boss, no crying to the tune of Joni Mitchell). While we’re sure the holidays in your household aren’t quite as chaotic, the truth is a little stimulation can do wonders for distracting an anxious mind.

Maude’s three-speed vibrator is a gift to give discreetly to the bashful recipient who desperately needs to unwind. Or bring it innocuously wrapped to your seasonal white-elephant party and wait for pandemonium to ensue. At $49, it’s on the more affordable side of vibrators, and the simple shape is un-intimidating for those who may not have amassed a sex-toy collection just yet. The compact size and USB-charging capability are a practical combo that make it easy to travel with or to throw into a bedside drawer. If you want to give a gift they’ll use, well we guarantee this is one.
