Good Vibrations Magazine

By Allison G

So by now hopefully our gift guides have helped you narrow down what you’re getting for that special someone on your list, but what about everyone else? In addition to our great toy and porn selection, GV offers a lot of really fun items perfect for friends, family, and co-workers. Read below for some friendly ideas anyone will love!

Gifts for a Friend:

I Rub My Duckie: It looks like a rubber duckie, it floats like a rubber duckie… but squeeze this too-cute little bugger and you’ll find from its substantial buzz that it doesn’t feel like any rubber duckie you’ve had before! Rather than emitting the traditional squeak of a rubber duck, this guy emits vibrations (we recommend the beak and tail areas for optimal clitoral stimulation) that you turn on and off with a squeeze. It’s the ultimate vibe in disguise — and makes a great gift. 5 1/2 long, 5 1/2 in diameter. Uses two AA batteries (included). Yellow rubber. Volume: 2; Intensity: 2.

Pamper Me Pretty Kit: Think you want to nibble and lick your lover now? Just wait until you rub these delicious edible massage products all over his or her body. Packaged in an attractive purple container with a feather boa handle, this kit includes a 1 oz bottle of strawberry champagne Body Candy lickable oil, a 4 oz GV Massage Bar, and a 2 oz tin of raspberry chocolate truffle Body Butter — as well as a 1 oz bottle of Good Lubrications Cream for a slicker encounter.

Sex Smarts: Jennifer Elias
Totally cute, hip, a little naughty and extremely fascinating, this quiz/flash card sex game has got to be one of the best we’ve ever seen. Play it with friends, a lover, or just read them and learn about Carnal Culture (sex through the ages), Dirty Talk (slang and more), Bodies (zones and positions) or really test your sex smarts with a Wild Card. All orientations. 2004.

GV Sweatshirt: Pull on one of these super-comfy sweatshirts and get ready to answer: “where did you get that Good Vibrations’ hoodie?” Previously a staff-only garment, due to strong customer demand, we’re now offering GV sweatshirts for everyone! Made of 100% cotton, this American Apparel Classic Fit Light garment means that this sweatshirt won’t make you sweat! Wash cold and dry on low; you don’t want it to shrink! Long-sleeved but lightweight, this GV souvenir is the perfect layering hoodie! Available in SM, M, LG, XL and 2XL.

Good Vibrations Guide to Sex: Anne Semans and Cathy Winks
Long one of our best-selling books — and a mainstay in college classrooms across the nation — The Good Vibrations Guide to Sex returns with this fully updated, up-to-the-minute third edition. This comprehensive guide covers an astoundingly wide spectrum of topics relevant to anyone exploring their sexuality in the new millennium, from basic anatomy and physiology to sex toys, sexual negotiation, erotica and much, much more. All orientations. 2002, 338 pp.

Gifts for a Couples:

Body Talk tattoo Kit: Get all of the thrills (and then some) of a tattoo without stressing over the commitment to a permanent mark with this couples activity set. The Body Talk Tattoo Set contains a 10 oz jar of delicious chocolate body frosting, stencil sheets and a paint brush — paint the stenciled commands (kiss, lick, etc.) or whatever you like on a partner and, well, we trust you can take it from there! An excellent choice for bachelorette, shower and wedding gifts.

Carnal Knowledge: Do you think you have what it takes to be a sexpert? Put your knowledge to the test with this fun and accessible book of sex trivia and fun facts. Covering a wide range without feeling dense, Carnal Knowledge includes information on modern slang, sex inventions, group sex, the all-time greatest XXX films, aphrodisiacs, and of course a listing of the who’s who in the adult industry. Great as a gift or a fun read for any sex fan. 2005, 160pp.

Pervartistry: If you like charades, drawing games and game nights that get a little spicy….you’ll be the perfect PervArtist! Two or more teams act out or draw various sex items (ranging from tame to kinky). A great game for groups of friends to play at home, and the perfect way for singles to mingle and get to know more about each other! No disrobing or physical contact is required, so pull out the game board and get ready to have some good old-fashioned sexy fun!

Ignite Me Candles: We created the Me line with you in mind! Our new line of luxury bath and body products is perfect for those who like to indulge. If you liked our soy-based massage candles, you’ll love the new look and scents (but same great formula) of Ignite Me. Burn the candle, blow out the flame and drizzle the melted soy wax on your partner for a sensual massage. Soy melts at a lower temperature so you won’t get burned. Whether you want to soothe, invigorate or ignite your partner’s passion…Ignite Me is sure to hold a special place on your nightstand for many warm nights to come. Available in 2 oz and 4 oz tins.

Gifts for Family/Co-workers:

Soothe Me: We created the Me line with you in mind! Our new line of luxury bath and body products is perfect for those who like to indulge. Soothe Me is our decadent bubble bath. With quality long-lasting bubbles and a fresh, clean scent; you’ll emerge relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated! Available in four great scents: English Lavender, Pomegranate Mint, French Vanilla, and Morning Dew. 2 oz, 8 oz, and 16 oz

Happy Hour Fizzies: Turn your bathtub into a bubbly cocktail of aromas and soothing salts with this individually wrapped fizzy ball. Drop the ball in warm water and watch it bubble out its mixture of oils, baking soda and fragrance. Makes a perfect gift for your friends or yourself! Grapefruit Martini, Lemon Marguerita, Blue Hawaiian, and Pina Colada scents.

And if you’re just not sure what they would love the most, you can never go wrong with a Good Vibrations gift card!
