Giving the gift of pleasure is arguably the greatest gift of all and if there was ever a time to lean into it, and throw some fantastic sex into the mix, it’s Christmas.
In a recent study, Lovehoney surveyed 1,000 New Zealanders and found that almost 2 in 3 people would be open to receiving a sex toy as a gift.
So if you’re looking to treat your loved ones, or even yourself, get ready to add these treats to your wishlist and make this Christmas magic.
When it comes to removing the taboo around sex toys, Kiwi’s are leading the charge. 84 per cent of people would gift a sex toy to their partner and 48 per cent would gift to a friend, but only 4 per cent would feel comfortable gifting to a family member and 3 per cent to a colleague – secret Santa anyone?
Lovehoney Director Rob Godwin is thrilled that Kiwi’s are open to gifting sex toys to their friends and partners.
“Gone are the days where people would shy away from buying sex toys for their loved ones. This year, we’ve seen more and more people understanding the importance of sex and pleasure on their well-being. Studies like this show that people are becoming more open to having conversations about sex with their friends and partners, and feeling comfortable enough gift them something to improve their sexual happiness, which is fantastic.
“The survey also found that Kiwi’s are heavily invested in their sexual happiness and have a keen interest in sex toys. Over 6 in 10 agreed that using a sex toy enhances their self-pleasure experience, and a whopping 90 per cent agree that using a sex toy enhances the experience with a partner. By giving a sex toy to someone it shows them you are prioritising their pleasure and sexual wellness, plus who doesn’t love a Christmas orgasm?!”
Not sure where to start? The most popular sex toys amongst Kiwi’s are Dildos (43 per cent), Clitoral Stimulators (32 per cent), Cock rings (26 per cent). G-Spot Vibrators (23 per cent) and Rabbit vibrators (19 per cent).

Lovehoney Director Rob Godwin is encouraging people to gift their friends a sex toy for Christmas: “Sex toys are the perfect way to give your friends a boost with all the stress Christmas can bring. Don’t shy away from it just because it’s not your typical gift – it’s something they’ll actually love and can use again and again.”
