Make this holiday season extra holly and jolly by shopping LGBTQ+-owned brands. On this list you’ll find gifts for your friends in the LGBTQ+ community (like a keepsake book designed with same-sex parents in mind) to items everyone will love, like a sassy candle or the softest adult-sized onesie, plus many of the brands on this list give back to charity. Happy shopping!

A tote to take you from the farmer’s market to the library to an outdoor hang. You can never have too many bags, and this one is 100% cotton and it represents BLK MKT Vintage, awesome vintage and antique store in Brooklyn that celebrates Black history.
Custom Ring
You can customize this ring with your friend’s initials or their favorite word (and if you do just one letter, the price drops to $129). Automatic Gold is a queer, trans-owned brand and their jewelry is known for being comfortable and gender and size-inclusive and this ring is available in sizes 2-16.
Patch
For the friend who likes to add some flair to their denim jacket or backpack comes this cool rainbow mountain patch. It serves as a reminder that there’s still work to be done in gaining true equality for LGBTQ+ people, and while it’s great to celebrate wins, there’s still more mountain to climb in the pursuit of justice.
