Lumberjill Leisurecrafts / Etsy

Why it's great: Wooden. Sex toys. Need I say more? But honestly, each handcrafted piece is as beautiful as it is efficient, and the selection ranges from dildos and plugs to paddles and statues. The smooth, nontoxic, oil-based finish of the wood is inspired by the likes of porcelain and glass, and "smoother than a well-lotioned Billy Dee Williams in silk pajamas smoking a cuban cigar between sips of Colt 45 in Cloud City." 😳 Not to mention, each sex toy includes a handmade drawstring storage bag and a sample of SpunkLube Hybrid lubricant. But you can use pretty much any lube, although water-based is recommended. Custom designs are available, just message the seller!
