I had njoy pure XL on my to buy shopping list for ages. I have taken the plunge just now. I would have purcahsed this and other things from lh earlier. But I have seen some decent stuff appear and disappear from the free £60 section a few times.
I’m a sucker for a good deal. I have added items to my checkout, and lurked on the £60 freebies and when they was the same ususal stuff I just avoided placing my order - just went away, check back next day. I think I postponed placing the order for a week.
I found the golden bullet which is semi decent so I placed the order.
I’ve often not added one because nothing has peaked my interest but a free gift wouldn’t and hasn’t stopped me from placing an order. I’ve had some fantastic free toys aswell.
I agree with @Stacy2, to me the free gift is an added bonus on top of what I actually wanted so I don’t delay an order in the hope something good comes up.
I have shopped around @DefinatelyBi and bought from other retailers if Lovehoney doesn’t stock (for example Cottelli in bigger sizes).
I will say I’ve found many other websites don’t offer discount codes or if they do, it’s the minimum 10% OFF. Lovehoney offer some of the biggest discount codes on sex-toys in the UK - that and already having an account, means less hassle.
I think the shopping experience makes a big difference and the LH site is optimised compared to others. Some websites look like they were built in the early 00s and designed by kids
I didn’t realise Cottelli did plus size! There are some items I absolutely would’ve bought from their range if they had been plus size. Disappointing that they’re not available at Lovehoney.
I felt the same way. I did pop them in Pander to me!..PRODUCTS ONLY but nothing came of it (which is understandable given the amount of requests). The Curves Collection goes upto 4XL which is a real shame that LH doesn’t stock them.
I’ve got 7-8 items now. They took a while to come from Europe, but I love the quality of them
I have the same one. Mine is red but I’ve seen a purple one I think. We also got a VCR free and it’s turned out to be my OH’s favourite one. He no longer uses the one we actually bought
I have been off this forum for far too long - it took me quite a while to work out you got a vibrating cock ring free rather than a videocassette recorder. I thought it was a bit retro that you were still buying and using them but I was quite impressed
In response to the OPs question, I have so much random stuff that doesn’t get used that unless the free gift is something I was desperately after (never happens) or a lube/clensing product I regularly get through and replace, I would pass on it, so it doesn’t really affect my shopping.
Reminds me of my first ever order with Lovehoney a long time ago! I was buying my first sex toys so bought a selection of different things and spent enough to get a free gift. Didn’t get a choice, and I received this full sized, pretty girthy (or at least I thought it was at the time) blue rabbit. The bunny face was etched into the top of the shaft and the clit stim was a bunch of carrots the rabbit was holding. It was a bit weird, a bit scary and I tried it once and didn’t get very far with it! It never came out the box again!
These days, I have so many toys, most toy free gifts aren’t worth it. I either pick something I think I can give to someone else, use in my teaching box or something that I can chuck in a bag for travel and not worry about it getting lost/damaged whatever.
I do kind of like the idea that the free gifts change a bit though, although the ones I can see now are a pretty decent cross section of toys, keeps it interesting
