Merry XXX-mas to all! These sex toy advent calendars from Lovehoney save you around $600 — here's my honest review
Including dildos, vibrators, lubricants, blindfolds and one product that had me asking, "What in the Christian Grey is this?"
'Tis the season to start thinking about advent calendars! From beauty to chocolate — and even fishing — there's likely an advent calendar that'll tickle your fancy. And if you're interested in trying a sex toy advent calendar, it'll likely tickle you in other places as well.
Lovehoney, a popular adult retailer, has a few advent calendars they're selling this year and I got my hands on two of them to see what they're like. With sex toys for men, women and couples, there's a little something for anyyone who wants to get a little naughty instead of nice this holiday season.

Review: Womanizer X We-Vibe Couple's Advent Calendar 2024 (24 Day)
This 24-piece calendar from Lovehoney is valued at more than $650.
- Toys from quality brands
- A wide variety of products
- Great for newbies and pros alike
- A mix of practical and fun
- Extremely good value
- The calendar itself is a bit bulky
What is it?
I love Womanizer products, so I was super excited to unwrap the Womanizer X We-Vibe Couple's Advent Calendar with my partner. Valued at $669, the 24-piece kit costs $249 and features a mix of luxe and practical items, like a clitoral suction vibrator and wipes to clean toys after use.
What's inside the Womanizer X We-Vibe Couple's Advent Calendar 2024?
The advent calendar has 24 items:
USB Rechargeable Bullet Vibrator
Toy Gel & Sex Toy Cleaning Wipes
Textured G-Spot Silicone Dildo (use with or without the bullet vibrator)
Penis Stroker (use with the bullet vibrator)
Blindfold
Jeweled Aluminum Butt Plug
Vanilla Massage Oil 30ml
Velvet Handcuffs (use with the under-mattress restraints)
Thick Cock Ring
Mini Paddle
Sex Position Snap Card Game
G/P-Spot Sleeve (use with the bullet vibrator)
Body Massager (use with the massage oil)
Mini Wand Vibrator (requires 2 x AAA batteries. Sold separately)
Dice
Ankle Cuffs (compatible with under-mattress restraints)
Kegel Balls
Couple’s Rabbit Cock Ring
Nipple Clamps
Finger Vibrator Sleeve (use with the bullet vibrator)
Under-Mattress Restraints
Menthol Orgasm Balm 7g
Is it worth it?
This advent calendar is absolutely worth it! If you were to buy the three most expensive toys in this calendar individually, it would cost the same as the whole 24-piece kit.
If you're a beginner, there are lots of entry-level toys for couples to enjoy like the blindfold, bullet vibrator, massage oil and body massager. If you're more familiar with sex toys, there's still plenty to enjoy, such as the Kegel Balls, body restraints, penis stroker and jewelled butt plug.
As someone in between those two levels, I really enjoyed opening up all these boxes and finding products I wouldn't normally pick up. The Couple’s Rabbit Cock Ring genuinely made me say, "What in the Christian Grey is this?" but I have looked it up and it makes much more sense now.
The only two misses for me in this calendar are the blindfold, which feels a tad cheap, and the nipple clamps — they have little lightning bolts that dangle and the Harry Potter vibes are not it for me.
Overall, I would be more than happy to buy this calendar, particularly given that it has toys from top-notch brands like Womanizer and We-Vibe. I'm already looking forward to next year's offering!

Is it worth it?
With quality products and a fun variety of items, this advent calendar is absolutely worth it — the most expensive product individually retails for $80 and the calendar costs $149, so it's loaded with value.
While the 24-piece calendar has more playful items, the 12-piece calendar cuts some of the cutesy items and gets down to business. It has many of the same products as the 24-piece but with the notable addition of anal beads.
If you're looking an advent calendar geared towards solo use, this is likely the right one for you!
