Queer Christmas Gifts For Your LGBTQ+ Besties

Looking for something special and gay to give your queer friends this Christmas? Look no further than our list of LGBT presents that will be appreciated by even the fussiest of queers. From the activist babes to the baby lesbians, we’ve got you sorted for festive gifting.

If you struggle to get your friend out after work because let’s face it, they’ve already holed up for the evening on the sofa, add these LGBT gifts to your buying list.

It’s impossible to get cosy with cold feet. These rainbow pride tube socks will keep even the coldest of tootsies warm, so you can let the next episode of Drag Race play without having to get up and grab the duvet – unless it’s already there.

There’s two types of people at Christmas: those who dress up for Christmas Day, and those who eat dinner in their PJs. If you’re buying for the latter, this Don We Now Our Gay Apparel Christmas sweater is perfect for throwing on over your joggers – then scoffing the chocs. 

Try as we might, there’s only so much time you can spend indoors – especially when all that’s left in the fridge is half a jar of week-old pesto. When you do have to venture outside, stay cosy with this Pride rainbow beanie hat made with double-layer knit for maximum warmth.

The lesbian renaissance has produced many new recruits. These lesbian Christmas gifts are great for your Chappell-loving friends who’ve just realised they do only like girls. 

Less gauche than a carabiner, these lesbian pride earrings are great for letting other women know you’re interested – a must-have for Pride next summer. They’re also printed on both sides so they won’t get lost in the thickest of manes or under any hats. 

Show off your WLW pride everywhere you go with this lesbian flag pin . Whether you pin it to lanyards, jackets or backpacks, this is a great subtle little addition to any baby gay’s wardrobe. It’s also a brilliant little stocker filling, too.

Nothing says lesbian like a tote bag. This A Day Without Lesbians is Like a Day Without Sunshine retro tote is the perfect present for anyone who enjoys sifting through everything they own to find the house keys. Not to mention the 15-litre capacity holds everything but the kitchen sink.

The love the LGBTQ+ community has for their fur babies is real – especially when it's the gays and their cats. These LGBT gifts are perfect for the queers who love their pets more than life itself.

Show your cat that a family Christmas means a family Christmas with this rainbow cat Christmas jumper. Available in red, green, grey and blue, this is a great gift for any cat-loving queer couples who have always dreamt about matching outfits for Christmas day.

Lesbians and their cats, eh! This lesbian cat Christmas bauble will brighten up any tree and show guests just who is living under this roof. Made from silver glitter acrylic, this double-sided decoration sparkles from every angle – just watch out for grabby claws!

For cat-mad queers who are also Halloween-mad, this Halloween mummy cats mug adds a touch of (insanely cute) terror to your morning brew. It comes in eight different designs that match the respective pride flags, including asexual, bisexual, gay, lesbian, non-binary, pansexual, rainbow and trans.

If your friend loves standing up for what they believe in, these LGBT gifts are a great way of showing your support and acknowledgement that activism isn’t just for Christmas.

The top thing on our Christmas list… printed on the new top thing on your Christmas list. Gift this ‘All I Want for Christmas is trans liberation’ sweatshirt to pals who importantly protest for trans+ rights. With soft cotton fabric and ribbed collar, cuffs and hem, it’ll keep you warm in any demonstration.

Pins are great for making a statement wherever you go. Add this Queer Existence is Resistance enamel pin onto any rucksack, lanyard or jacket to show the powerful resilience of the LGBTQ+ community. With 2 rubber backs, it’ll stay in place whatever you’re doing!

The funkiest way to share an important message, this retro Protect Trans Kids vinyl sticker can be stuck on almost any surface. Better yet, mix and match it with a few different LGBTQ+ stickers and hide them in a Christmas card for the ultimate festive surprise.

If your bestie has a mini me, these LGBT gifts will be much appreciated by the whole family. £2 from every sale from our Proud 2 B Parents collection goes directly to this amazing charity supporting LGBTQ+ parents/carers and their children living in the North West.

This My Family Tree is Proud 2 B art print will look great in any home, especially if your friend’s house is also bright and colourful. Printed using a 12-colour giclée process to stand the test of time, you’ll forever get to brag about the artwork you bought them over dinner.

Hats off to them, parenting can be exhausting! If your friend is always searching for the cosiest way to bring up a little one, this proud parent pride hoodie will be just the ticket. It’s available in four different colours and with completely customisable names, great if you’re buying for both a ‘daddy’ and a ‘papa!’

For the just–can’t–please–them gays, there’s only one thing you can do to guarantee a present will go down well… let them pick it themselves!

Valid across the whole site, including the complete LGBTQ+ Christmas gift collection , a Rainbow & Co gift card is the perfect festive solution for fussy friends. From t-shirts to pins, tote bags to bobble hats, our LGBT presents are sure to be appreciated.
