I’ve always been a little bummed about spending the holidays without a significant other. (Why yes, I have been single for every holiday since birth, let’s not discuss.) I’m so lucky to be with my family every year, and I have friends to boot to share the holiday joy with. But there are enough Christmas rom-coms out there to make me wish I had someone to introduce to my family chaotically or worry about what to get them. However, not once have I ever wished that I’d have someone to have sex with because frankly, vibrators make for quite a reliable companion.
Listen: vibrators pack so neatly into my luggage, don’t require any talks about what to say when my mom asks “When are you getting married?”, and shut up the second I click the off button. Whether you also don’t have a partner or you’re not seeing each other this year, these six vibrators are the next best thing—we might even argue they’re a little better.

If you’ve never tried a wand vibrator, now’s the time. These magical vibes are entirely for clitoral stimulation, but the large head makes it extra powerful. With seven patterns and 10 intensity levels, you’re bound to find the exact combo you need to have amazing orgasms on your own. It’s available in five colors and USB rechargeable (unlike the original wands you might recognize that plug into the wall—very ‘90s).
Shop Enby
Celebrate the season with this rechargeable, easy-to-use vibe from small, queer, Black-owned shop, Shop Enby. This is unlike many other finger vibrators I’ve seen—and I’ve seen an absurd number of vibrators in my day. Best part? It’s totally waterproof, so you can easily bring it in the tub with you.
Lovehoney
This vibrator is a reader and editor favorite here at The Everygirl, and I can’t even count all the reasons why on one hand. From personal experience, these suction vibrators are the most unique sex toys on the market because they truly mimic oral sex in a way that makes me worry that finding a partner could become obsolete. This one is extra special because it’s petite, has four levels of intensity, comes in two colors, and is USB rechargeable.
Lovehoney
Everyone needs a classic rabbit vibrator in their collection if they receive orgasms from both oral and vaginal stimulation. They can all be pretty similar, but this one caught my eye because it’s luxe and high-quality without an outrageous price tag (sex toys can be astronomically expensive!). This one has two motors for each side, giving you 36 different combinations to achieve your best orgasm.
Dame
No matter what you’re doing this holiday season, a classic bullet vibrator is nothing short of a good time. This tiny vibe is made from ABS plastic instead of silicone, so it’s really easy to clean, ultra-soft on the body, and can be used with water and silicone-based lube. It’s water-resistant (happy bath season!), and—you guessed it—USB rechargeable. With three speeds and three color options, this is all the company you need this holiday season and beyond.
plusOne
If you’re traveling this holiday season, look no further than this extra-small yet powerful vibrator. With 10 unique vibration settings and a soft flexible head that contours to your body to hit all the right spots, pleasure on-the-go is easier than ever. Plus, it’s under $20!
