1. Pride Eyewear

Does your LGBTQ+ friend need a little help in the vision department? Or do they love rocking prescription-free glasses? Pair Eyewear is your one-stop shop for year-round eyewear — but especially this month.

We're celebrating Pride with a collection featuring Top Frames with symbolic imagery, patterns, and colors. These frames snap right onto our Base Frames. Your loved one can change up their look throughout the month and still stay on theme.

Learnmore about the collection below.

We have frames to fit every face shape and style. Plus, all our frames are made of hand-polished, flexible, and durable acetate. They will last well beyond the month.

2. Pride Accessories

There are an endless number of accessories that would make great Pride gifts. These add-ons are about more than fashion — they serve as a symbol of support for the LGBTQ+ community.

  • Rainbow Eyewear Case: Give the gift of protection with a Pride-themed eyewear case. No one wants to wear glasses with scratched lenses, and a case is the best way to prevent damage.
  • Pride-Themed Hats: The best way to finish a Pride ensemble can be with a stylish hat. Look for hats in rainbow patterns, vibrant colors, or with Pride slogans.
  • Pride-Themed Purses and Bags: Everyone needs something to keep their items safe. A fun purse or bag can be the perfect accessory to take on the go during a busy month.
  • Inclusive Pronoun Pins: Show your loved one your commitment to inclusivity and gender diversity with pronoun badges. These badges allow them to express their preferred pronouns.

3. LGBTQ+ Books

Books have always been a powerful way to share stories, experiences, and perspectives. Reading can help people be more kind and considerate. Stories about other people's lives help the reader see a different perspective. It can be an ideal present if you're dealing with a difficult family member or friend.

If you're shopping for someone in the LGBTQ+ community, stories about the queer experience can help them feel understood or less alone. Reading can also reduce stress and help people sleep. And who couldn't afford to be a little less stressed these days?

There are numerous LGBTQ+ books available that would make a perfect gift for the reader in your life. There are fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or memoirs featuring people in the LGBTQ+ community.

4. Pride-Themed Mugs and Drinks

Make someone's morning a little better with a pride-themed mug, which can be a fun gift for people who love drinking coffee or tea. You can also find mugs you can personalize if you want to add their name or a pride-themed slogan.

Their favorite coffee beans or tea bags could be an excellent addition to the mug gift. You may need to investigate beforehand or ask their family what they drink. If you want to offer options, you can also buy sample-size coffee and tea bags in a variety pack.

5. Pride-Themed Clothing

Give your loved one something special to wear to one of the many fun events happening during Pride Month. From classic tees to trendy pieces, there's something for everyone to express their identity and support for the community:

  • Rainbow Flag Apparel: Embrace the iconic symbol of LGBTQ+ with clothing featuring the rainbow flag. It can be a simple tank top, a hoodie, a pair of shorts, or anything with those classic rainbow stripes.
  • Graphic Tees and Slogans: Find the perfect graphic tee with an empowering slogan or design celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. It can be something witty or inspiring, depending on who you're buying for.
  • Pride Parade Outfits: The gift of marching in style is a great present to give. Search for Pride parade outfits they can wear. There are vibrant costumes, tutus, and feather boas to help them spread joy during the celebrations.
  • Pride-Themed Activewear: Give those who are always on the go in your life some stylish activewear. The best part about Pride-inspired leggings and sports bras is that they'll be comfortable and still on theme.

6. Pride-Themed Home Decor

Give them a gift to transform their living space to help them celebrate Pride Month. There are plenty of inclusive home decor items.

From subtle accents to statement pieces, we have a few recommendations:

  • LGBTQ+ Symbol Decor: Gift decor featuring iconic LGBTQ+ symbols like a rainbow flag, pink triangle, or transgender pride flag. These designs can be found on throw pillows, wall decals, and decorative objects.
  • Pride-Themed Throw Blankets: Give the gift of warmth with a cozy pride-themed throw blanket. A blanket is also an excellent way to add texture and color to a space.
  • Pride-Themed Candles and Diffusers: Everyone wants their space to smell amazing. Consider giving a pride-themed candle or room diffuser featuring uplifting scents. They will help create the perfect ambiance in their home.

7. Pride-Themed Art

There is LGBTQ+-themed artwork that captures the community's diversity and resilience. There are paintings, prints, and graphic designs available to add queer representation into their space.

Not sure what art they may like? Consider getting artwork of their favorite LGBTQ+ trailblazer who made an impact on the community. If you're an artist, make it a DIY project to create a personalized gift they're sure to cherish.

8. Inclusive Skincare Products

Everyone wants fresh, glowy skin, and with a growing focus on inclusivity in the beauty industry, there are many skincare products to choose from.

Support an LGBTQ+ inclusive brand by gifting their products to your friends and family. These brands often cater to a wide range of skin types, so they'll be products for everyone.

9. Equality Stickers

If you're looking for presents for a lot of people, equality stickers are a cute and affordable way to give everyone Pride Month gifts. You can find stickers in various shapes and sizes that celebrate the community. They are perfect to stick to laptops, water bottles, notebooks, and more.

10. Rainbow Pride Pin

An LGBTQ+ pin is another inexpensive but meaningful gift to give someone during Pride Month. They can wear these pins with any outfit to add a touch of solidarity and identity expression. Plus, pins can be great conversation starters.

11. Spa Treatment

Who doesn't want to receive a luxurious spa treatment? Gifting a relaxing massage or soothing facial can be just what your loved one needs. Spa packages designed to celebrate Pride Month include a combination of treatments such as massages, facials, body scrubs, and more.

If possible, seek out spas that prioritize LGBTQ+ inclusivity. These spas offer gender-neutral facilities and have knowledgeable staff trained to address the unique needs and concerns of LGBTQ+ individuals.

12. Pride Gift Basket

A gift basket can be a very exciting gift to make and receive. You can create a personalized basket filled with Pride-themed goodies, including rainbow-colored treats, pride-themed accessories, books, and skincare and wellness products. Adding a card with a heartfelt note can be a nice touch and let them know you support them.

13. LGBTQ+ Events Tickets

There are many fun pride-themed events, and gifting an experience they'll never forget is a great way to show your support. Look into what pride-themed festivals, concerts, and community events are happening that require tickets. There are also LGBTQ+ comedy shows, parties, and drag shows celebrating Pride Month in many cities.

These events are entertaining and provide opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals, find supportive groups, and contribute to the LGBTQ+ community in other meaningful ways.

14. LGBTQ+ Charity Donations

If you're trying to find a gift for someone who has everything, consider donating to an LGBTQ+ charity in their name. Supporting these charities can make a positive impact on people in the community who need a little extra love.

Pair Eyewear donates a portion of proceeds made from the Pride collection to GLSEN, an organization that strives to create inclusive school environments for LGBTQ+ youth.

Take Pride in Gift-Giving

Pride Month is the perfect time to show someone in the community that you care. Whether it's a new pair of glasses, a pride-themed accessory, tickets to a show, or a donation to an LGBTQ+ charity, each present can help spread support and love. Happy Pride Month!
