Please note testing is for Ann Summers and includes items of a sexual nature.

I was fortunate enough to be picked by Ann Summers to product test the Kinky Fantasy Gift Bag. And I’m very grateful for the sexy fun that ensued for my partner and I!

 

The bag contains seven items (incidentally the same contents as in the other products stocked; the Sexy Weekend Bag and the Love Bag, also by Loveboxx). Only the colours of the items varied. Here is a breakdown and description of the gift bag contents (in no particular order).

 

Faux rose petals. A good amount to set a romantic scene, but quite an orangey red and not the best looking quality.

Bullet vibrator. Not a bad little vibe, 10 functions and surprisingly powerful. Takes one AAA battery (included). Has a nice feel to it, like a silicon coating. Fun and versatile.

Novelty handcuffs. Definitely not designed to be used as BDSM restraints, quite flimsy construction. The emphasis was definitely on the novelty aspect, more for fun role play than serious restraints. Came with two keys, of which we still managed to mislay one during play!

Blindfold. Very basic, but effective in providing adequate sensory deprivation.

Tickler. Again very small and basic, but adequate.

Vibrating c0ck ring. Disposable item (the button cell batteries can’t be replaced). Not great for the planet. Operating switch was really temperamental, appeared to have been quite poorly constructed. The jelly part of the ring was almost too stretchy and unfortunately didn’t have the desired effect.

Sex dice. I had high hopes for these and thought they’d be a lot of fun. Unfortunately as a couple of disabled oldies we were not able to partake in the suggested positions and locations. Have seen foreplay dice before that are a bit more inclusive and they would have worked better for us personally.

 

The gift bag seems to be aimed at couples, going away overnight, for a short break or having a fun night in. My partner described it looking quite cheap and I have to concur that the items weren’t of great quality. I’m not convinced the cost is justified for the benefit of having the items packaged together. I would prefer to purchase separately what I really want.

I didn’t really find the contents particularly kinky (which could just be me), but the fact it was no kinkier than the other two comparable gift sets seems to confirm this. Definitely not suitable for more than an absolute beginner kinkster. However, we had an enjoyable evening which started out innocently with the kinky fantasy gift set and progressed to some more in depth bondage play so I’ll take that as a win!
