Part of the Tool Shed's mission is to educate and empower people to take control of their sexual health and pleasure. We offer custom "Tool Parties" that aim to both provide factual information about sexuality and give people a chance to learn about and purchase sex toys in a comfortable, private environment.

Tool Parties are held in the store after our regular shopping hours are over. In-store parties allow for private browsing through the shop's complete selection of gifts, toys, books, and body products. Many groups have chosen to make an in-store party just one stop during a fun evening out on the East Side!

A Tool Party makes a great bachelorette party, birthday celebration, Pride gathering, or night out. Parties last approximately 90 minutes and provide an educational and fun experience.

A sexuality educator will kick off your evening with a short educational presentation-- you can choose your topic from the list below. They will then be at your service to answer questions and explain how our toys work as you and your guests socialize and roam the store. You can bring your own snacks and beverages to make the event as festive as you want (just let us know ahead of time so we can help you set up)!

Party hosts can choose their topic from the following options:

• Sex Toys 101 (anatomy, orgasm, sexual response and how different types of toys can be used alone or with partners)
• Toys for Boys (anatomy, toys designed for use by men)
• Hitting the Spot (anatomy of the G-spot, G-spot stimulation, and squirting)
• Kinky Toys 101 (an intro to toys and gear used for restraint play, sensation play, and role play)

Parties work best with a minimum of six guests and a maximum of sixteen.

Tool Party Pricing

Hosting a Tool Party is free, though we do require a refundable deposit to hold your party date.

Once we have finalized a date for your party, we require a $25 deposit from the party host (via cash or credit card). This deposit will be credited to the host at the time of the party. If you cancel your party less than a week in advance, the $25 deposit cannot be refunded. This policy helps ensure that as many dates remain open for potential party hosts as possible.
