You can swap your unwanted Christmas gifts for free sex toys next week

As families came together at Christmas, a number of gifts were exchanged between loved ones - some good, some bad and some downright bizarre.

If you received something that you don't really know what to do with, there's a very simple solution.

Instead of letting it gather dust in the back of a cupboard, next week you're invited to swap your unwanted Christmas gifts for a free sex toy.

That's because sex toy retailer, Lovehoney is launching their first ever Sex Not Socks gift swap at Observation Point on London's Southbank.

The event, for those over the age of 18, will take place on January 14 from 9am until 8pm when a Lovehoney team will be based in an Airstream caravan.

Lovehoney will be giving away sex toys up to the value of £59.99 to the first 1,000 people in a 'lucky dip'.

In return, the sexual happiness brand is encouraging the public to donate small, unwanted items that will help support a national homeless charity, including good quality clothes, books and DVDs. Large items or goods in damaged or poor condition cannot be accepted.

If you haven’t got an unwanted gift, you can still join in the fun by making a small cash donation to the charity in return for a free sex toy.

All of the gifts and money will then be donated a homeless charity.

Lovehoney Brand & Marketing Director, Helen Balmer, said: "We all get a few traditional but slightly dull presents each Christmas, such as socks and gift sets, which are stored away in a drawer and forgotten about.


"The idea of Sex not Socks is to put all those unwanted gifts to good use. You can swap them for a fantastic free sex toy and have a lot more sexual happiness during the coldest and most miserable month of the year.

"All the donated gifts will be given to a homeless charity which is being supported by Lovehoney. All over 18s are welcome."

Items in the gift swap lucky dip include the £59.99 Desire Luxury Rechargeable Vibrator alongside a number of other mystery items to spice up the winter nights.

Lovehoney’s Sex Not Socks gift swap will be held at Observation Point on London’s Southbank, SE1 9LT on January 14 from 9am-8pm.
