About this episode

In this episode, Penny van der Sluys chats with Justine Vallata about the joy and empowerment of pleasure gifting and how to make it accessible and stigma-free.

Are you ever stuck for present ideas? Have you ever been gifted a vibrator - or thought about gifting one to yourself or a friend - but weren’t quite sure how to go about it? Today’s episode is for you. In this joyful, stigma-busting conversation, I chat with Justine Vallata , founder and owner of That’s The Spot - a small Australian business on a mission to make pleasure gifting fun, affordable, and shame-free. We talk about what makes a pleasure gift feel personal and empowering, and how affordability, sustainability, and creativity are helping more women feel confident exploring pleasure - for themselves and for others. Join us as we explore: + How self-gifting can become an act of self-respect and a way to reclaim your right to feel good. + How to choose personalised pleasure hampers that feel elegant, inclusive, and empowering. + Why affordability and sustainability matter in the world of pleasure products - and how small changes in packaging and pricing can make pleasure more accessible for everyone. + How to start the conversation about sex toys with your partner - without ego, shame, or awkwardness. + And how this small Australian business is helping change the narrative…
