Where to donate unwanted adult toys?

DH bought me a LoveHoney advent calendar. Were used a few things from it but there's quite a bit we won't use (restraints, blindfold, massage oil, etc). Any clever ideas how to pass these on? I thought about a charity shop (would they accept?) and our local Facebook Reuse group (it's a small well to do place and I fear I'll get a reputation, though I know that's daft). Any other methods I can try?

The bin or recycle them if possible. I hate waste and the impact on the environment but I don't think you can do much more.

As some others have said - eBay them.

On the basis of reputations, I’ve gained one at my local auction.
If they are the Ann Summers position card game, I sold an opened pack for £7 (with fees & postage to deduct)

Restraints, and an assortment can sell as a bundle
(Disable eBay global on the listing and sell it as UK only)

There are times in life when it really is OK to just bin stuff. It's all well and good when DH buys you a calendar to share together. Less so when you're offering out the dregs of some random sex aids.

I bought an adult toy from Enjox about a year ago and it gave my partner and I a lot of pleasure for the first few months. However, due to moving, I misplaced it and only recently found it in a storage box in the basement. Unfortunately, it quickly lost its charge from being unused for so long. When I contacted Enjox customer service, they informed me that the warranty had just expired, but they still sent me a brand new product for free! I was really surprised by their generosity and the fact that they didn't question me at all. They even mentioned that because of the nature of the product, I didn't need to return the opened one. So I received a new product with no hassle.

Although my toy is designed for external use, companies like Enjox don't recycle returned items for resale. This experience made me realize the uniqueness of adult toys, and I don't think they are suitable for charitable purposes.

Tombola donation for the church summer fete?

Love it!

Gives a whole new meaning to "The Second Coming"...

School PTA Christmas gift Tombola for the adults . That would go down well.

Joking.

Seriously. The bin is where they belong.

Incidentally… I purchased a toy for
my DH few months back which I don’t think has gone down too well with him because it’s still in the box, in its wrapping.

I wouldn’t dream of passing it on… even if it is unused .
