Review of the Surprise Voluptasse Stocking - Couples


I was pleased when Voluptasse asked me to review their Surprise Christmas Stocking as I was intrigued when I saw advertisements on Face book and Twitter. The stockings are featured in the Christmas range on the Voluptasse website.
The stocking promises to be filled with sexy treats, all individually gift wrapped and worth a minimum of £45.00 this sounds like an amazing bargain as the stocking is being sold at £29.99. Also, if you use the discount code ‘fifty’ at the checkout you will also receive £5.00 off any order that you make. (You can thank me later!)
When my stocking arrived this morning I was very excited and eager to see what it contained however, as the other half was at work I faced the dilemma of.....Do I open all the gifts myself or wait for my bloke to come home? It was a tough choice...
I decided it would be best to wait for him and see his reaction to the gifts as it was a Couples Stocking after all. Whilst I waited, I took a look at the website and noticed that they also have a single stocking for both Men and Women should you fancy a little ‘me’ time this Christmas.
Impatience started to get the better of me so I took the time to have a good feel of the presents and examine the presentation of the gift set.
The stocking was just a simple basic red stocking, there was no writing on it and it looked perhaps a little cheap. There were 5 presents in the stocking, each individually wrapped as described.  When I received the brief I was told that the colour and contents of each stocking will differ as Voluptasse will bear in mind any specific requests that buyers may have which the buyer can mention on purchase.  For example lovers of anal play ect.
Also, the wrapping on the presents could have been a bit tidier, but wrapping has never been one of Mel’s strong points. Hopefully she will get better with practice! The paper was nice decent quality, shiny silver foil with a paper backing so even with all my fiddling whilst trying to figure out what was inside, the paper didn’t rip or tear, which was disappointing because I didn’t get to have a sneaky peak!
When he FINALLY arrived home I was so excited that I ripped open the first gift, before I took the photo to show how the presents were wrapped. Therefore there is one open on the photograph but it was wrapped. Sorry I couldn’t help it!
 
The first gift was a Flutter Ring which is a blue cock ring, it looked fabulous and said on the packaging it was a clit tickling vibrating cock ring. The batteries were fiddly to insert but once it was up and running the vibrations were powerful and the butterfly’s antennae vibrated nicely against my finger, I couldn’t wait to get started.  It was the first thing that we tried and it was AMAZING!
 
My boyfriend put the cock ring on not before stretching it to make sure it was going to fit, which it did comfortably he said. The butterfly on the top of the cock ring sat nicely against my clit making me orgasm within seconds of penetration and he came shortly after. We both had a really strong orgasm and it was a really fun toy to use. In fact, we both agreed that this is the best cock ring we’ve used ever! It even comes with spare batteries, we have used this toy a few times now because we both love it and we haven’t had to replace the batteries yet.
 
We also received a pair of Glow in the Dark Lovers Dice. The dice are a fun way to get you started with various tasks for you to carry out on your partner when you roll the dice. We played these dice both in the light and in darkness and they do glow up really well, but we found it difficult to play in the dark as you obviously can’t see each other very well and it can get a bit fumbly, Over all it was a fun novelty game but I like being spontaneous in the bedroom and it felt a little forced. I’m not sure if I would use these again to be honest.
 
My ultimate favourite gift was the Kiss Me Lipstick Vibrator which I know is a Voluptasse favourite as they have reviewed this before.  My verdict – I love this little thing!!!  
 
The product looks like a Lipstick which is discreet, pretty and girly (which I like) I love the Lipstick design because when I am not using it in the bedroom I can take it out with me in my handbag. Me and my boyfriend both loved this vibrator, it’s a bullet so the vibrations are really strong and you can turn it up or down to suit your mood.  It never fails to bring me an intense amazing orgasm within seconds and its compact enough to push inside you whilst you have sex which my partner loved. He also came within a couple of minutes which is unlike him; I’m getting the idea that he likes these vibrating toys...
 
The next gift was another novelty item, The Sex Calorie Counter, which I’m quite sure isn’t accurate (914 calories burned for an erotic lap dance?) It looks to be just a bit of fun, we have decided to do one Sexercise a day to keep in shape. It beats the Gym any day!  It gives you various different instructions one side for her and the other side is for him. We started with an erotic lap dance which ended with us collapsing into fits of giggles but it was good fun.
 
The final gift was the Romantic Coupons, which is a little booklet full of tear out slips written both in English and French. You hide them around your house for your lover to find and it has romantic games to play or tasks. I put one in my partner’s lunchbox so he got it at work he liked and it led to a full day of sexting, which was fun!
There are 20 coupons in total each with a different romantic gesture on some of which I found to be quite annoying such as shower him with 100 kisses from head to toes (as if I would kiss his smelly feet!) but I did like the slips where you fill in the blanks yourself with whatever you want, he had to do what I wanted, when I wanted and where I wanted...that was a nice half an hour!!! We also had fun trying to speak the French verses in the booklet. A good little booklet if you like being in control, more for the girls I think.
I also requested a copy of the price list so I could check the RRP of each of the items:
Lipstick Vibrator is                           £14.99
Flutterby Cock ring is                      14.99
Romantic Coupons are                 £7.99
Sex Calorie Counter is                    £4.99
Glow in the Dark Dice are             £3.99
So, the grand total of the items in my Stocking came to £46.95 which was an absolute bargain for a fun gift wrapped hassle free gift. There is a little work needed on presentation and I would like less tasks and more toys but its good value for money and I would definitely recommend it. It’s a fun little gift Idea that’ll spice up your bedroom this Christmas, I’ve got some amazing new toys that we can enjoy together and I like the idea that we can still have a bit of Romance too.
 


The wrapping was a little untidy.



Opened a little too soon! Thats what happens when you wait all day...
