(HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA) — Sportsheets®, Manbound and the must-have Sex & MischiefTM collection have been named in four leading categories for the upcoming 2013 XBIZ Awards. The company has been recognized for its packaging design and outstanding manufacturing in the gay, couples and BDSM product realms with special focus on the Sex & Mischief collection’s remarkable success in the adult retail market.
Sex & Mischief was named in the Soft Bondage Line of the Year category with regard to its matched set of easy-to-use and fun-to-try restraint systems, blindfolds, harnesses, blindfolds and floggers designed for the beginner player or “vanilla” consumer looking to explore BDSM. Sex & Mischief also was noted in the Excellence in Product Packaging category honoring its high-fashion photography, high-impact merchandising plans, and signature black-and-white motif.
The Couples Pleasure Product of the Year nomination went to the Sex & Mischief collection’s now famous Grey Tie, a silky silver tie inspired by the erotic novel, “Fifty Shades of Grey” and the main characters’ affinity for using a grey tie as a sexy restraint. This clever and simple product has been a must-have for retailers around the world with stock in constant demand.
Sportsheets’ Manbound brand was nominated in the Gay/Lesbian Pleasure Product of the Year category for the Over the Door Sex Sling, a sturdy harness easily supported by any door that helps couples get into deeper positions comfortably and safely.
“The Sportsheets team is honored to be recognized for our hard work in these important product sectors and have seen firsthand how essential it is for retailers to have products from these key categories in constant stock,” Sportsheets founder and CEO Tom Stewart said. “This has been an incredible year of growth and success for Sportsheets and Sex & Mischief and we want to thank our colleagues and fans for their ongoing support and excitement for our products!”
The 2013 XBIZ is slated for Jan. 11, 2013, at the Century City Plaza in Century City, California, and hosted by adult superstarlet Tera Patrick.
