.gay Holiday Gift Guide 2022

Wondering what to give to that special someone on Christmas?  Don't worry, boo, .gay got you covered! 

Whether you're looking for something practical or trendy, eccentric or freaky, these gift ideas for your LGBTQIA+ loved ones will show them how grateful you are to have them in your life - plus, they are all queer-owned brands or businesses! 

First up, what better way to get that warm holiGAY feeling than with a “Hey Handsome” candle from Matthew Dean Stewart candle studio?

With notes of tobacco leaves, leather and teakwood, this scent will make you feel right at home.

Buy now at www.matthewdeanstewart.gay

This holiGAY season, you can send spirits into orbit with Jonathan Adler’s retro-rad black and 16-karat gold luster porcelain decanters.

These beauties are designed by Mr. Adler, who is a prominent LGBTQIA+ voice in our communities.

So whether you're looking to give your favorite scotch or bourbon an out-of-this-world look or just want to make sure all of your guests feel extraterrestrial at your next party, this will do the trick.

When community leader Kendall Clawson took the role as the first Executive Director of Q Center, Oregon's LGBTQIA+ community center, she quickly realized the absence of Queer and Trans history in books, so she decided to tell community stories as a top priority at the center. 

She has taken her mission further by writing "A Kids Book About Pride" – for children to learn about the incredible LGBTQIA+ people who have played significant roles in American history. 

Kendall's message is clear: having a sense of Pride within and about oneself, especially for kids, is imperative. 

This book will undoubtedly be an excellent addition to your kiddo's library!
