Whether you sell online or in a brick-and-mortar shop, the longer you can keep customers looking at your wares, the more likely they’ll find something they
want to buy. To keep them engaged, hit them with all their senses. Here are some of our favorites that fit the bill.

Making Spirits Bright
Bling in the holidays with Pure aluminum toys
Pipedream, which actually look like Christmas orna-
ments. They mesh nicely with glass toys; among our
favorites are Pipedream
’
s Icicles line, Joyful Pleasures
dildos and the Fifty Shades of Grey Drive Me Crazy
Glass Massager from Lovehoney. Finally, don’t forget
about njoy
’
s beautiful stainless-steel Pure Wand and
Eleven—the Cadillacs of the pleasure product world.
The Awwws Have It
During the holidays, adults want to feel like kids again. Bring out those
inner children with pleasure items that actually look like toys. For instance,
there’s the Cupcake Vibe by Shiri Zinn—just the right dish to serve up at a
make-believe tea— Jimmyjane’s Form 2 and NS Novelties’ Muse (one of
the cutest vibes ever). And Tasha’s Reignbow Pony Plugs, from Crystal
Delights, will delight anyone who’
s ever combed out a My Little Pony
mane. And the centerpiece can be the brand-new LoveLife range from
OhMiBod; each shape, adorned with a heart, begs to be picked up and put
into action.
Color Between the Lines
Every retailer knows how appealing a display shelf looks when it’s loaded up
with brightly colored vibes and dildos from Fun Factory and Tantus. Add
to that some items from Maia Toys, with its bold color scheme of four
vibrant hues. Then there’s the new Lust line from Jopen—elegantly shaped
vibes in purple, pink and lime green. Speaking of lime green, there’s Leaf
from BMS Factory; now Leaf+ is out, with the toys available in a rich pur-
ple. Finally, don’t overlook the Ceramix line from Pipedream Products; with
their bold patterns, they look like vibrators from the pages of a comic book.

Form and Function
Some pleasure product aficionados eschew the cute
and the cuddly. They want an elegant design with
sleek lines and plenty of power. They’ll delight in the
Embrace and Entice collections from California Exotic
Novelties, the vibrators from Evolved Novelties’ Love
Candy by Kendra collection, and the beautifully
designed yet affordable vibrators and cock rings from
Ovo.
Touching Is Believing
Visual stimulation is important, but don’
t neglect the
other senses. Certain items beg to be held, so leave
samples on the counter. We’d suggest the Iroha vibra-
tors from Tenga, which have a soft, squishy coating
that fits their pastel tones. The G-Vibe from Fun
Toys—velvet-smooth and flexible—is an unusual
shape; shoppers will be curious about how it feels. And
there are two revamped favorites: the new MiMi from
Je Joue offers more give in its silicone coating, and the
We-Vibe 4 now has a smooth, matte surface rather
than the somewhat sticky original high-gloss finish.
