Make the Yuletide gay: Lesbian gift ideas 2022
The holiday season is once again upon us, and with it comes the annual excitement (and/or low-key anxiety) of What To Get My Loved Ones For Christmas.
Whether you are shopping for your partner, friends or family, fear not- we’ve put together a list of gift ideas to help you find a suitable present for every lez on your list.
For the one who makes the bass drop in your heart
Nothing says “I love you” like a handmade gift.
A batch of holiday cookies you baked from scratch– especially if your wife/partner knows you cannot be trusted in the kitchen- will be well worth the effort.
You can give scrapbooking a try and make a memory book of special moments in your relationship. You can also DIY-customize a personalized gift box of your partner’s favorite products- they will appreciate that you are paying attention to the things they like.
For the woman who wields influence
A pantsuit set is an excellent gift for the woman who likes crushing both business presentations and power lunches.
Pair a navy suit set with Oxfords for a soft butch look, or pair a cream suit set with classic pumps for a fashionable femme.
You can also get them a Masterclass subscription so they can learn new skills.
For the girl with an edgy or quirky fashion sense
Get them a pair of Dr. Martens Pride boots or maybe a pair of rainbow high top canvas sneakers to complete their streetwear style.
If your lesbian is extra edgy, you can get them a vintage leather biker jacket (or maybe a gift card from your local tattoo shop).
For the health and wellness buff
If they are into fitness but have yet to invest in gadgets or wearables, you can get them a Fitbit or an exercise watch.
Eating healthy is also a big part of wellness- maybe you can get them a complete plant-based diet cookbook so they can plan and prepare their meals on their fitness journey.
For the lesbian who loves the written word
If they are a more literary sort, you can get them a new book to read, like Rosie Stockton’s debut collection of love poems titled Permanent Volta (finalist for this year’s Audre Lorde Award and the California Book Awards in Poetry).
Perhaps their bookshelves are full and there is no more space for another print book- you can get them a Kindle or an e-book reader instead.
For the passionate LGBTQ+ rights activist
They are very much involved in The Community and are fighting for a better and more equal society for everyone.
Sometimes, a symbol they wear will get the point across without them having to speak.
Anything with a rainbow in it will surely be a hit- get them LGBTQ+ or lesbian-themed jewelry.
