I've got a rocket in my pocket!

I'm looking at get a Doc Johnson Pocket Rocket as a stocking stuffer for my girlfriend for Xmas. Ordinarily I'd order it online but as we're only a few days away from the holiday, can anyone tell me where, besides an "Adult Shop," I might be able to buy this?

...because adult shops make me, you know, kinda queasy.

I don't know where you are, but in my area we have this small chain of exotic lingerie stores that carry such items.
Or so I'm told...

Spencer Gifts, if you've got one in your mall. Party store, complete with R-rated toy section.

Your location would make this question much more answerable. Although I am not sure why going to an "adult novelty store" is so distasteful for you. Over the last 10 years, their social acceptability has moved way up, and must of the ones I've visited have been fairly unscary.

Er, store locator.

Response by poster: ...let's just say the ones in my area (Albany/Troy, NY) are in decidedly sketchy, seedy parts of town.

You might be able to attend or host an Ann Summers/Fantasia party. Basically, a sales rep from the company comes to the house and shows you a variety of products.

...It's like Avon but with dildos and anal plugs.

This article details the various stores that provide sex toys in your area. I didn't read it all the way through, but it looks like some of them aren't too creepy.

I can understand being a little sketched out by Troy sex shops. You might want to hop the border over into Pittsfield MA where there is an Amazing.Net, a pretty tame novelty store chain (google maps link). It's probably about an hour from Albany.

bonus- you won't run into anyone you know

There's a Spencer's in the nearest mall to Troy, whose name escapes me.

Troy, eh? There's a head shop/sex shop in a strip mall on Wolf Road next to the Outback restaurant, but I forget the name of it... There's a Guitar Center (or other some sort of music shop) in the same place.
