As I mentioned in my previous post, I thought I’d make a few suggestions for buying a gift for that favorite spanko in your life. I’m also including a few items on my personal wish list for a certain someone to see. Since we’re so close to some companies order deadlines, I thought I’d better get on it!<\/p>\n
Let me start with toy suggestions. The type of spanking you prefer to give or receive will determine what type of toy you’re looking for. But not to worry, there’s plenty of toys available on the market. The key is finding reliable sellers. Honestly, most of my favorite toys have come from people who’s links you’ll find on this page (which is why I promote them), but often I’ll find a toy or two in different places. I’m always open to new experiences.<\/p>\n
For leather goods, you can’t go wrong with John’s work over at Leather Thorn Paddles<\/a>. He does quality work and is always happy to work with you for personalized touches. His Rose Blush paddle<\/a> and Strap<\/a> are two of my absolute favorites. I also love the Beaver Tail<\/a> and I really want one of the Buster paddles<\/a>. (That’s a hint for Dan btw.)<\/p>\n JT’s Stockroom<\/a> is another good source. They’re reliable and provide quality goods. Besides the Lolly Crop<\/a> and Cocobola Nipple Clamps<\/a>, from the previous post, I really enjoy the adjustable C-clamps<\/a>, Gripper Clothespins<\/a>, the black leather fraternity paddle<\/a>, various crops, my Doggie Bone gag<\/a>, various butt plugs, and one or two vibrators we’ve bought from them. <\/p>\n I’d really like to try out the Rope Master<\/a>. I’d like it so much I’ve had my butt in training<\/a> for the last few days. <\/p>\n I got those training plugs from Extreme Restraints<\/a> and even as I type, I’ve got the medium sized plug inserted. I take my training seriously! Besides, I already have the Pig Tail butt plug<\/a> and don’t want to worry about how it fits. <\/p>\n The other items I have from Extreme Restraints have always been great fun. Except for maybe that awful Electric Paddle<\/a>. Darn but that thing bites! They have a variety of interesting plugs, paddles, and other sensation toys, including the evil Wartenburg Wheel<\/a>. Maybe if I’m a good girl Santa will bring me the Leopard Rubber Whip<\/a> or the Anal Ring Toss game<\/a>. Those could be big fun!<\/p>\n If I had the ring toss game, we could make up some interesting rules which I’m sure would include lots of spankings. Especially if I wiggle around and “accidently” make him miss. Heh.<\/p>\n If you’re looking for some other good spanking entertainment, how about a good movie? We’ve found that Spanking Epics<\/a> has some of the best spanking movies we’ve seen. The stories are fun and the spanking action is really good. We watched “Trouble In Carson’s Gap”<\/a> the other night and were quite entertained. It was an all around good movie! I’d really like to see the third movie in the Keith Jones trilogy<\/a>, “The Reckoning” sometime soon. The inspiration they provide is always welcome.<\/p>\n Dan wrote a review of “Lucinda’s Confession”<\/a> and if you want to read that, it’s here<\/a>. I loved that final spanking!<\/p>\n Other movie scenes that provided some “inspiration” to me were from “Reform House Punishments<\/a>” and “Belt Spankings at Reform House No. 9” from Raven Hill Studios. They might not be to everyone’s tastes, but I really like the strappings delivered on their X-shaped spanking bench<\/a>. I always love a good strapping, you know.<\/p>\n Of course, you can always find great spanking finds in vanilla places like Ebay, the Vermont Country Store (source of the infamous Vermont Bath Brush<\/a>), and your local department stores. If you keep your eyes open and want to use a little imagination, there is much to be said for vanilla items. Jokari paddles and sturdy hair brushes are always a good choice. <\/p>\n Also, if you’re feeling crafty, remember that big paddle<\/a> I found at a craft store? You can have all kinds of fun with an item like that. <\/p>\n You can also make your own bottom tenderizing mats from items found in Wallyworld. They usually have those rubber no-skid runners with the area rugs. The underside of the runners have little pokey teeth that make wonderful mats for sitting on. It works for both tenderizing a bottom before a spanking as well as a fine place to site a bottom that is already tenderized to enhance the experience. I’ve been sitting on mine for a short time now, dedicated spanko that I am, and believe me, I’m feeling tenderized already. I wouldn’t want to recommend something that I wasn’t familiar with, after all. Remember, standing up occasionally enhances the effect. Ouch!<\/p>\n Most stores also have those prickly welcome mats (I think they’re referred to as horse hair but I’m not sure) and computer chair mats for those of you who want more intensity. I prefer the rubber runner mats for personal reasons. The prickly mats are sometimes messy because they can shed a bit and the computer chair mat spnkes are a bit too sharp for my tastes. But that’s just me.<\/p>\n I also recently discovered by accident that sitting on a heating pad can really enhance a tender bottom. So can a little heating lotion. Items you can find and put together in a very innocent looking gift basket. <\/p>\n That’s about all I can think of for now, but I’m sure I’ll have a few more suggestions here and there. Also, I usually try to include where I found most of the toys we use but if you see something you are interested in finding and there’s not a link, I can usually figure out where it came from so just ask. <\/p>\n Okay, I’ve put in my time on the tenderizing mat so I’m prepared to go out and do a little shopping of my own. Between the tenderizing and the butt plug that will stay in place until much later to keep me mindful, my shopping experience should be a good one. If it’s not, I’ll blog about the spanking I’ll get for that later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As I mentioned in my previous post, I thought I’d make a few suggestions for buying a gift for that favorite spanko in your life.
