7 Gifts To Give Your Partner In Bed

by Laken Howard

With the holidays just around the corner, now is the time to buckle down and figure out what you're giving everyone this year (assuming you procrastinated as much as I did). If you're in a relationship and want to give your special someone a gift that they'll really appreciate, look no further than your own bedroom. You can't exactly wrap sex and put it in a box, but Christmas-themed sexual favors will definitely spice up the holiday season.

If you're as terrible at gift-giving as me, you know the struggle of waiting until the last minute to buy presents, and then feeling absolutely awful when your mom opens yet another Yankee candle. And buying presents for a boyfriend or girlfriend is way worse, IMHO. Call me old-fashioned, but I think sexual favors are more fun than any materialistic present, so I'd say that amazing sex definitely counts as a gift. Even if you want to get your partner a "real" gift as well, that doesn't mean you can't also try out some fun holiday-inspired sex acts if you're in a super giving mood.

Whether you want to get busy while at home for the holidays or play it safe and wait until the two of you are back at your own place, here are seven holiday-themed sex acts to give to your S.O. this season. They'll put you on their naughty and nice lists. (You're welcome for all the terrible Christmas sex puns.)

1. To Grandmother's House We Go

Everyone's least-favorite part of the holidays? All the traveling, especially when it's snowy and the roads are awful. If you have a long journey to make with your S.O. to get home for the holidays, giving him or her oral on the trip is the perfect way to break up the monotony. (Disclaimer: I wouldn't recommend actual road head, because that's pretty dangerous. Just pull over and take a fun, sexy break during the trip.)

2. Let It Snow

AKA a facial, but winter-themed. Letting your partner finish on your face (as long as you're comfortable with it, obviously) is a fun gift, especially if it's not something you do often.

3. Santa Striptease

Dress up in Santa-themed lingerie (maybe sans the white beard, though) and wow your partner. Breaking out into a rousing chorus of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" during your striptease is optional, but recommended. All aboard the Polar Sexpress!

4. Sleigh Ride

During the other 11 months out of the year, you might just call this "girl on top." But it's Christmas, so get in the spirit and offer to take a "sleigh ride" on your partner. It will get both of your bells jingling, without a doubt.

5. Island Of Misfit (Sex) Toys

This idea is doubly amazing, because you can both give a vibrator or other sex toy as a gift and use it to please your partner afterwards. Wrap up a sleek new vibe, put a big bow on top, and put it under the tree. Pro tip: Include a note telling them exactly how you want them to use it later that night.

6. Frosty Oral

You've probably heard about the wonders of the "ice cube trick" — aka sucking on an ice cube before going down on your partner. If your S.O. doesn't mind a little wintry chill in their nether regions, this is a fun twist on oral that can get you in the holiday spirit. Plus, you can warm right back up after foreplay.

7. Fireside Spooning

Is there any part of Christmas that's cozier than cuddling up next to an open fire? If you're lucky enough to have a fireplace, invite your S.O. to get frisky in front of the flames after sipping some mulled wine together. The spooning position is recommended for intimacy, but feel free to try other holiday-chic positions, like "Reindeer Style."
