Gwyneth Paltrow’s NSFW GOOP Mother’s Day Gift Guide is a total ‘vibe’!
Would you shop this list for YOUR mum?
Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle site GOOP has been pushing the boundaries since it’s 2008 beginnings. Vagina scented candle anyone?
Since then the carefully curated gift guides on the site have become iconic for their sometimes bonkers inclusions like last year’s $10k Chanel sled for Christmas. And this year’s four part Mother’s Day Gift Guide with a cool $123k US worth of products does not disappoint, mostly thanks to the inclusion of no less than eight vibrators!
Better tell Mum to stock up on batteries.
Forty-nine-year-old Gwyneth is a mum herself, sharing children 17yo Apple and 16yo Moses with ex-husband Chris Martin. And while she might be cool with being gifted a sex toy, or maybe even the flavoured lube, a lube warmer, or a sexy body oil candle from the guide, we do have to wonder if her own mum, 79yo actor Blythe Danner would be so keen?
Although, to be fair, GOOP has claimed that Mother’s Day is not all about maternal bonds, suggesting, instead that it is a time to celebrate all women.
“It’s always a good time to honour the friends, sisters, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and teachers who have shaped us, supported us, and fed us,” the intro to the guide explains. “Below, the best for the best in your life — and plenty of gems to celebrate and cultivate your own inner-creator energy …”
To make selecting to right gift for your person, the guide is broken down into four easily digestible parts:
- To the one who showed me how to slice, shuck, and spatchcock
- To the one who does flower acid while listening to The goop Podcast
- To the one who likes her martinis dirty and her hotel rooms pristine
- To the one who picked up where sex ed left off
As usual, the expertly curated guide includes some mind-boggling awesome gift suggestions such as the $5,795 wood-burning hot tub and private fascia flossing sessions, but amongst the chaos you will find some practical gems as well.
If the one of the two Chanel bags, close to $7k each doesn’t not fit your budget, Mum might like a $60 can of Baroncini Import & Co. Sicilian extra virgin olive oil, or maybe the two-piece Merpa salad utensil set for $180 is more her jam.
The four-part gift guide has a whopping 146 items with a US value of $123k and includes 42 items from Gwyneth’s own brands from the lifestyle site.
As you could imagine, the ‘To the one who picked up where sex ed left off’ category is where the real action happens. Warning, that group is NSFW so maybe watch who’s behind you when you scroll.
The mum in your life might get a buzz out of one of these clever gifts …
The Kiki de Montparnasse’s $98 Etoile Bullet vibrator, Smile Makers’ $200 The Ballerina Vibrator, Lelo’s $179-each Ora 3 and INA 3 vibrators, We-Vibe’s $199 Date Night Set, Goop Wellness’ own brand $95 Ultraplush Self-Heating G-Spot Vibrator and Tabu’s $135 The Kit, which includes a vibrator and lubricant.
Mother’s Day ideas for mums who might not be so keen on a sex toy …
