Lovehoney Advent Calendar Review
It’s that time of year again. We’re coming to the end of the year and now we have adverts, chocolates, songs and a pandemic. It has been a hard year, to say the least, and the uncertainty around going home for the holidays lies ahead. I’ve seen Aunties loaded with Christmas shopping and wrapping paper and we still have more than a week to go before the big day. Last year my partner and I worked in hospitality and this was our busiest time ever. We were like passing ships in the night, stinking of tequila and sambuca from all the rowdy staff parties.
I’ve always enjoyed one thing about Christmas though, and that is advent calendars. As a child I remember waking up to the sheer excitement of running to the calendar every morning to get that delicious Cadbury’s chocolate sugar fix. Now as an adult, diagnosed with PCOS, chocolate is sadly a no no for myself, and my partner isn’t that big into chocolate either. Something we do like to do together is scrolling through online sex toy shops looking at what we could add to our ever-budding collection and last year we hit the jackpot, the jackpot of orgasms! The Lovehoney advent calendar! We loved it!
This year the ‘Best Sex of Your Life Couple’s Sex Toy Advent Calendar’ has, you guessed it, 24 toys worth over £295 for a steep, but fair, price of £100. Remember folx a sex toy is not just for Christmas! There are a wonderful array of sex toys, lingerie and light bondage items available for all sorts of couples, making that stressful run up to the holidays more sensuous and exciting.
Last year we found the fun card game came in handy as a bit of light relief when surrounded by all the new equipment. We also found that It gave us the opportunity to try out new toys and new concepts that we wouldn’t normally gravitate towards. We still have a candle that we need to burn and I’m still waiting on my massage, but we’ve had the pleasure of broadening our collection and we have some newfound favourites that have definitely enhanced our sex life.
Another exciting aspect of this year’s calendar is the big star of the show, the ‘Womanizer Starlet 2’ worth £69.99 (lol). Lovehoney described the original Starlet as “Combining sweet suction with pulsating vibrations, this clitoral vibe heralds a new age of female orgasms.” Sign me up! As we begin to advance in sex toy technology, luckily so does the Advent Calendar.
Taking a look at this year’s calendar has made me want to buy it again and for anyone tempted, Lovehoney offers payment through Klarna at 3 payments of £33.33, making the price easier to swallow. These are the gifts that keep on giving, just make sure you have a supply of batteries this holiday/lockdown and get your ho ho ho on.
