Gift your significant other with a replica of your own goodies. Ladies can make an edible chocolate vulva with this molding kit while gentlemen can give a personalized dildo in the exact shape of their own junk. But unlike flesh, this one glows in the dark and vibrates. 

InHerTube, inhertube.com. $70.

InHerTube's owner, who goes by Kat, was frustrated that rubber and leather harnesses didn't fit larger frames, so she developed a Portland-made harness available in waist sizes from 24 to 80. The harness is made from upcycled rubber previously used on heavy equipment, with industrial-strength velcro fasteners that hold fast but come on and off easily.

Folly PDX, follypdx.com. $65-$68.

They say you're sexiest when you're comfortable. The Ava slip works as an undergarment but also as lingerie. Local designer Sarah Bibb makes these slips for stores around the country, but you can get them fresh at Folly PDX.
