If you’ve not yet taken your Fifty Shades Of Grey fantasies off of the page and into the bedroom, the time is nigh. In November, Lovehoney is launching the Fifty Shades of Grey Official Collection of sensual pleasure products approved by E L James herself, and the range is set to make this Christmas an especially raunchy one. Including a varied selection of 9 sex toys and 11 BDSM tools, this official Fifty Shades merchandise aspires to bring Christian Grey and Ana Steele’s steamy sex scenes to life, on your own terms.

The Official Collection has a high-end, luxurious look in classic black, grey and silver, offering would-be doms and subs the chance to enjoy the more sensual side of bondage in style. Appealing to couples seeking to experiment and improve their sexual satisfaction together, the range is sophisticated, user-friendly and expertly designed to enhance your pleasure.

The items in the range have been developed to recreate those used by Christian and Ana in the trilogy, including two sets of silver balls - one for beginners and another for those wanting more of a challenge, a faux leather flogger, blindfolds, a feather tickler, three vibrators, nipple clamps, silver handcuffs, a riding crop, wrist ties and a satin spanking paddle. Keen to help lovers further their exploration, the range also includes a set of anal beads, a smooth silicone butt plug, a bed restraint kit, a full-body restraint set with matching blindfold and a vibrating cock ring to add some exciting new twists to the Fifty Shades theme, complementing the toys central to the original text.

I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with the finished products in the run up to launch and I must say, I’m duly impressed with the results. It’s clear that a lot of time and thought has gone into transforming Fifty fantasies into tangible realities. Having manhandled (and coveted) the goods, I’m in a privileged position to offer my hottest recommendations for the Fifty Shades Official Collection.

Insatiable Desire - Mini G-Spot Vibrator

I’ve always found it slightly confusing that so many G-spot toys are so lengthy when your G-spot is located around 2-3 inches inside of your vagina. I was thrilled to see that Insatiable Desire does exactly what it says on the tin, its 4-inch length and firm curved tip provide precise stimulation exactly where you want it without overshooting. 10 powerful vibration settings and a smooth silicone shaft make it a dream to use in the bedroom, enhancing most sexual experiences.

Recommendation:  Ask your partner to use it on you during Bondage and blindfold play. Slow, sensual thrusts on your favourite setting will drive you wild.

Something Forbidden - Silicone Butt Plug

When I first started experimenting with sex, I learned that Anal Sex was painful from magazines and the internet. Ladies, it’s a myth. If you have the right tools for the job and a bit of patience, anal play is a seriously satisfying addition to your sex life.

This silicone butt plug has such petite proportions that most women will find it easy to use and enjoy. Designed to be used with some water-based lube, its 3.15-inch length easily slips inside you, with the finger loop remaining outside to hold it in place. Once inside, the plug will move with your body, stimulating your ultra-sensitive anal erogenous zones, enhancing masturbation, foreplay and vaginal sex.

Recommendation: Wearing a butt plug during early sexual arousal will make your entire sexual experience feel more pleasurable. Additional anal stimulation makes other sexual contact feel more intense as well as extending the duration, and improving the intensity, of your orgasms.

Delicious Pleasure - Silicone Pleasure Balls

Ana’s silver balls sparked a frenzy of women looking for balls to put in their vagina, much to the confusion of search engines around the world. Lovehoney saw an incredible 1400% rise in sales of Ben Wa balls, jiggle balls and kegel exercisers this year, making them THE must-have sex toy of 2012.

Delicious Pleasure is a kegel exerciser in shape and a set of jiggle balls in function. They have are sized and weighted to be suitable for most women, giving them a great way to tone up their pelvic floors and improve vaginal muscle tone. But they also contain G-spot stimulating weights that feel intensely pleasurable during a jog or bus journey.

Recommendation: Once inserted, place the retrieval cord so that it rests between your labia minora and against the clitoris, this will add to the intensity of the stimulation you feel and improve your orgasmic response to the balls.

All Mine - Deluxe Blackout Blindfold

Experimenting sexually  is so much easier when a blindfold is involved, it takes away the pressure of being watched from either side and allows you to focus entirely on physical sensation.

All Mine ensures absolute black out during wear as its satin form conceals an adjustable nose bridge that squeezes into place to match your face contours perfectly. As it ties to fit, you’ll get a really snug fit around your bonce.

Recommendation: Ease your partner into their dominant role by giving them a taste of how good it feels to be submissive. Blindfold him before giving him a slow and teasing full frontal massage, letting your own sexual desires dictate what happens next. Once you show him how its done, he’ll feel more confident when he takes on the Christian Grey role.

Soft Limits - Deluxe Wrist Tie

Using a tie as an impromptu Bondage restraint is a pretty ingenious idea, but it’s much better when you have something purposely made for the job. I love the soft and sensual look and feel of Soft Limits, the visual of a voluminous bow binding the wrists feels delightfully feminine, like you’re a sexy gift waiting to be enjoyed by your partner. The construction of this wrist tie makes it easy to create an effective Bondage restraint that feels silky against the skin and is easier to tie than shoelaces.

Recommendation: Ask him to tie your wrists above the head, it makes it easier to change positions without losing the feeling of being restrained and it’s much more comfortable than behind-the-back restraint.

The Fifty Shades Of Grey Official collection will be available soon from  Lovehoney.
