Recap: MBS Sunday Brunch for Dec 11

Our topic this week was kinky holiday gifts. Here are your thoughts.

babygirlsneedlove2: I love to give Daddy silly little gifts. Over the years he has gotten a few that made his eyebrows go up. LOL

• Voodoo Doll with pins and instruction book (having his ex in mind)
• Book on how to tie knots
• Twister board (because I tell him that naked twister is a hard limit) – It's still unopened. LOL

I'm not sure what to get him this year, but you have me thinking now. Maybe a new belt? Oh, maybe that's more for me than for him.

Susie: My husband has been looking at an i-paddle website. I'm not sure which one it is, but perhaps I should be a little nervous about what may show up under the Christmas tree. Sigh!

Six of the Best: On the economic side, if all the countries in the world would participate in spending this holiday season, be it for Christmas or Chanukah, it would certainly help this globe.

As for spanking implements, I have purchased a brand new pliable cane, to be tested on one of my favorite lady's voluptuous bare bottom.

joeyred51: I am attending the Delco holiday spanking party next week and I hope to buy a leather strap from my favorite vendor.

Hermione: I have purchased a couple of gifts that keep on giving. One is a lovely leather belt for Ron. He said he needed a new one, and I assume he intends to wear it, but he might decide to put it to another use.

I've also taken the plunge and bought a cane. I have to figure out how to wrap it so Ron won't guess what's in the package.

Sublime Wifey: I like our homemade spanking implements, but I wouldn't mind something "official" and preferably leather. Or perhaps a set of restraints, such as cuffs or tie downs, to keep me from squirming about too much during our next rigorous spanking adventure.

Daisy: Nope. Nothing. I wouldn't buy a hairbrush or spoon because I don't like the feel of wood. What I would like is a leather paddle. But I am too chicken to travel through customs with anything remotely spanky. I would just die if they searched my case. As a result, I have bought nothing!

Lea: Is there anything I NEED? Nah. Is there anything I WANT? Well, of course! I was actually browsing Cane-iac a few hours ago to see whether anything struck my fancy. I'm undecided, but I will probably return. I hate wood. Maybe something leather...

Sara: I don't know. Maybe my spanko mojo is waning? I don't think we need ONE new implement! I have been disappointed with the last few purchases I made. They were way more intense than I had expected. Sadly, Grant loves them. I'm sticking with books and sweaters, or maybe some nice massage oil?

Kitty: I'm thinking of giving Daddy some rope. ;)

Ronnie: I always buy a few silly gift that I give to P before Christmas – the type for our eyes only.

This year I've bought a carpet beater for him. Well, it's for me really and it's not for hanging on the wall.

Prefectdt: I just put together a scheduled post for tomorrow that features unusual gift ideas. I know there won't be anything kinky from Santa for me, but I am hoping to find a pervertable in the post Xmas sales. ;)

Bonnie: I know I asked the question, but I honestly don't know yet what I'm going to buy for Randy. I have some ideas, but he hasn't indicated what he prefers.

However, I can tell you what I want. My poor old cuffs have seen better days. They're not exactly worn out and they still work, but the outside is covered with remnants of adhesive gunk that won't come off. Randy got carried away with tape one time and the scene was hot, but it ruined my cuffs. All I want is a new set.

Thank you all for participating in our brunch conversation. I hope you'll join us again next weekend.

Recap: MBS Sunday Brunch for Jan 4

This week’s brunch topic was holiday gifts.

Matt: Our anniversary is mid-December, so it wasn't really a Christmas present, but my I bought my wife a wooden paddle brush from a beauty supply store. She says it is still not quite right though. She gets significant vibration through it when she uses it on my bottom which helps to wear out her hand. I guess we will have to keep looking.

She suggested getting a real paddle so we will start looking for those. I like the symbolism of the hairbrush though, so I hope I can find one she likes.

We are just getting started. Currently, we have the paddle brush and her right hand. :-)

Tiggs: I did give spanking good gifts, but not to my beloved Dante! In fact, I not only shopped for a cheap spanking implement (that doubles as a useful gift), but I also passed along a spanking good toy that we'd never used. I honestly thought we would break it on the first swat if Dante ever had used it. Plus, I did manage to send a couple other spanking things to friends.

Dante and I have enough spanking toys to fill a huge box, way more than we use. Plus, in giving a spanking gift to him, it would really be "for" me. That would imply a "demand" to be spanked. I'm not imposing that sort of pressure on either of us this year!

The best part is that it truly is much better to give then to receive! The toys haven't been used yet (by my friends), but when they are, it will be delightful indeed! It makes me smile inside just thinking about it!

Daisy: The only people I "know" who spank are my online friends, and of course, there are no addresses or indeed real names. So I have no-one to send gifts to! Of course, Davey and I being in different countries makes it impossible to send gifts to each other. It would be expensive, and embarrassing to list the contents on a customs form! However, I have the promise of a belated Christmas spanking (and birthday spanking, and Easter spanking, and.. and.. and..!) to look forward to collecting when we meet up in a few months time! :)

Dr. Ken: I would have liked to receive a girlfriend to spank in the New Year. But last time I looked under the tree, there was still nothing there...

Paul: I received a wonderful packet from a special friend. It contained a paddle, a hairbrush and a tawse. My girl is a little apprehensive about them. Before that, I had sent my girl a nice hairbrush as part of her Christmas present.

Such presents add a little spice to her life. Chuckle.

Jay: Yes, I got a spankable for Christmas. It is a hairbrush. Sir has a cruel sense of humour.

And my lovely Couz sent my Dom a hairbrush, Tawse, and Paddle.
I think my butt is in trouble.

Hermione: I gave Ron a black wooden cane with a silver handle, and a long shoehorn to match. Both were made in Italy and are quite elegant. The cane is actually a walking stick and too heavy for play, but the shoehorn has definite possibilities. Maybe I'll find out on Twelfth Night.

Ronnie: We have quite a collection of toys, more than we actually use (P has his favourites).

I did receive an early present of a maple wood paddle shipped from the US. It has a jovial spanking Santa on it. This gives it a friendly appearance, but believe me, it is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Big Bear: Unfortunately for my dear Penfold, she received a new gift. It was not as part of the holidays, but as an addition to our growing collection... a cane

We just had to test it immediately. ;-)

We'll have to see how that goes through the year. I have got some ideas brewing! :-)

Julie: Since I am still hoping to transform my fantasies into reality in the future and technically am single as well, I did not give nor receive any spanking implements. However, I drew a kinky Christmas card for a special person I came to know over the internet, and I dearly wish it were possible for him to be my lover and disciplinarian. So I was happy I could surprise him with said card on which I drew the "Merry Christmas" made out of several implements we would like to experiment with. :-)

Also, with this being my first comment, I want to thank you for helping me to embrace my kinkiness through this amazing blog.

Welcome, Julie!

Our Bottoms Burn: There’s nothing new here. In fact, we have been giving away toys for the last three years.

Prefectdt No, I didn't give or receive one kinky present (damn my luck). I did pick up two books, “Over the Knee” by Fiona Locke and “A Slave in Time” by Josephine Scott in the Christmas sales (it was a buy one, get the other half price type of thing). Maybe that counts as a present to self.

I would have liked to have a kinky partner to exchange gifts with though.

Diesel Diva: My Christmas and/or New Years gift would be for my son to be able to move out. Thin walls and a son who is 25 and living here puts a definite kink in my kinkiness, so to speak. Keep your fingers crossed for me! He may move out someday. I'd have to shovel snow myself, but that would be a small price to pay. And my toasted hiney would keep me warm.

Doc: This is a sad question for me. I gave a fun spanko gift this year, but it will never be used on me. Days after giving it I had to leave the person I gave it to...

It was a cricket bat, and a full cricket set actually. The bat was the lightest one we could find. The whole set was going to be used in a scene wherein I wore a tartan skirt. My Dom liked to do erotic photos and a scene with a full compilation of props was something I knew he'd like.

I got the cricket bat in England. It’s perhaps not the most amusing gift if you're from that country, but I thought of it as a very suitable surprise coming from a sub who has just been traveling.

Danielle:While we were on vacation I bought three identical gifts. One crossed the ocean on its way to a dear friend. The second went to our closest friends when we visited them just before Christmas and the third... was for us.

Of course, I have used that one already many times on my husband's backside. What it is? It is a smaller version of an Irish (and American?) hurling stick. It’s not a true spanking tool, but it does a great job. It looks quite innocent. It is easy to swing and looks nice as well. Ours is called Miss Hurley.

Padme: I received a brand new long suede flogger from a good friend of mine for Christmas. It's wonderful and I really enjoy playing with it! I also got a new wooden spoon in my stocking too from Santa. We have yet to use it though and I'm looking forward to a spanking from it! :)

Red: I stumbled over your blog a few days ago and find it quite nice.

Yes, I gave my sweetie a new, long handled bath brush. While I haven't been on the receiving end yet, she immediately picked up on its dual uses.

Hi, Red, and welcome! That brush sounds like a real scorcher.

Mthc: Yep, I gave David a bathbrush that he makes use of every waking moment.

Impish1: Nope, I put a pretty hand-shaped leather spanking paddle on my Christmas list, and showed him where to buy it, but we don't always get what's on our lists, and I didn't get it. He's never bought a spanking implement, so it was really a little too hopeful anyway.

Ann: I gave a paddle to my fiancee. We haven't tried it out yet, but I think it's just a matter of time before it's used. :)

Bonnie: We bought a new toy together this year. It isn’t an implement and its use is not limited to spanking. It’s a wedge pillow. We had something similar several years ago, but this model is far superior. The wedge has been a lot of fun and we’re just getting started.

Thank you to everyone who shared their holiday thoughts and memories. We will have an excellent, thought-provoking reader question next Sunday. I hope you will join us again.

Recap: MBS Sunday Brunch for Dec 2

Our topic this week was holiday suggestions for the spankos on our gift lists. Here are your thoughts.

Purple Angel: I asked members of my group what they would wish for if they could pick a spanking gift to get. So far, the largest number would love to get a spanking horse, with, of course, a good spanking to go along with it.

I personally would love a ticket to Canada so I could get a wonderful holiday spanking and give one as well.

Hermione: My suggestion is actually called a wedding plaque, but I thought it would be nice to commemorate the date of my first spanking from Ron. It's a Christmas gift for him (We open our gifts to each other when we are alone).


It's meant to be attached to the outside of a house, but the bedroom wall is a good second choice! I'm thinking of starting a tradition of celebrating this anniversary as well as our other one.

Mary: I just bought some new panties and a pretty new bra. They’re for me, but he can enjoy them as much (or as little) as he'd like when we are together for the holiday. :-) I am not about to give him anything new to spank me with. My bottom was well marked last time we were together. He has enough to play with!

Prefectdt: There is plenty to choose from including clothing, books, DVDs, and especially toys. But my cunning plan goes like this (and I do this every year). I ask vanilla members of my family to buy me everyday household stuff for Xmas. Examples include towels, sheets, and stuff like that. Then I take the money from my normal budget, that I would have spent on this stuff myself, and buy kinky stuff with it. This way, I can get the vanilla members of my family to buy me spanko goods without even knowing it.

I'm the guy who is genuinely happy to get socks for Christmas. :-)

Bonnie: I have two suggestions:

• Drop seat pajamas from Vermont Country Store – Cold nights shouldn’t be an impediment to warm bottoms.


• Body brush from Pottery Barn – Whether sending a message, setting things straight, or just because, this brush makes a lasting impression!

On the other hand, if Randy wants to buy a padded spanking bench, I think I could get onboard with that idea.

Paul: For the spanker, I suggest a Swiss spanking kit. It would be similar to the Swiss Army Knife, only bigger, with perhaps a dozen different spanking implements.

For the spankee, I recommend a selection of multi-packs of panties with risqué sayings printed on the seat to encourage the spankers and large containers of Arnica and Aloe Vera. (Smiles)

I’m sorry that this is rather more light-hearted than my usual offering.

Jean Marie: My lover and I were just "discussing" this topic the other day. The words that flew out of my mouth were so heated, I ended up getting my bottom heated over his knee. I know tops and bottoms are opposite, but it should be two different sides of the same coin. Sometimes, K and I seem so foreign.

Although we collectively own a great many implements, most are of the improvised variety. For example, last week I was punished quite harshly with a doubled-up extension cord and teased quite erotically with an oversized rubber spatula from Tupperware. So I brought up the subject of toys expressly for play as pillow-talk.

I want leather toys for Christmas. I love their sensuality, their fragrant smell, and the pliant thick feel of straps. I find sessions with leather, even when hard, to be very arousing.

My lover wants to give me wooden implements, such as Rosy Bottom brushes. He likes to punish me with wood. Maybe it's because it makes me bruise, or maybe it's because he knows I detest the sharp-edged, no-nonsense bite of hardwood brushes and paddles.

I already know what's gonna happen on the morning of the 25th. He'll have a brush or two in my stocking, and he'll ceremoniously undo the drop-seat of my flannel PJ bottoms and spank me wickedly throughout the day. But he'll also give me cash to buy clothes, because he's inept at such things. So I'll order some leather toy by mail order. When it arrives a week or so later, I'll finally get a reprieve from splinter-imbuing paddlings.

Anon: My boyfriend promised me a very special surprise from Ann Summers. I’m hoping it’s leather and stingy. But I would settle for new handcuffs.

Carye: Ooh, I'd definitely recommend a hickory smacker from Paddles by Walt, or a dogging bat. :-) As for me, I'd just like some around the house stuff to become implements, or one of those fun trips to Walmart with spanking in mind... together with my husband!

Thanks to everyone who contributed these toasty warm holiday gift ideas!
