Sex toy gift certs
October 13, 2008 9:13 PM   Subscribe

I want to send someone (female) a gift certificate for a sex toy shop in London. I am in the US, and I'd like it mailed to her. What is a good store, and how can this be done?

Your best bet is to go with a women friendly / women run store, from google I was to pull up this place, which has an online store.

And here is a link to their gift certificates, you can probably have them shipped to her, and they appear to take paypal.

I suggest the women run as a criteria to narrow down the stores, because the ones my friends have worked in tend to be more open, well lit, and more upscale than other places that just want to cram as many movies and items on their shelves as possible.

and now I have made my comment history great

A friend of my flatmate works at a place called Coco de Mer (as if you needed to be warned - NSFW) which is apparently a very famous, high class, expensive, and extremely desirable establishment. A bit like Agent Provocateur, but naughtier. I don't know if they do gift certificates, but I'd imagine so. It'd be worth giving them a call.

Seconding Sh! which is without doubt the best woman run, female friendly sex shop in London with a h-u-g-e range of fun toys and accessories.

Coco de Mer or Agent Provocateur if you want less emphasis on toys, more on incredibly expensive but very lovely lingerie and tit bits.

Sh!, Agent Provocateur and Coco de Mer all have very good reputations. Also consider Harmony, which sells a wide range of toys and lingerie. They have at least two shops in London, a big store on Oxford Street and a smaller one in Soho. They have an online store which will probably sell you gift certificates. The shops are very light and well laid out with a clean, friendly atmosphere, but manages to be cheaper than the brands mentioned above.

I couldn't guess whether it's woman-run or specifically "female friendly", but most of the staff I've seen are female and I see plenty of couples and unaccompanied women in when I go there.
