2022 Queer Holiday Shopping (Pt. 2)
Hey everyone! Abbey here!
Y’all loved the list of Queer Shops and Artists where you can buy your holiday gifts from, so I thought I would find you all more options. And, if you are reading this on or before Monday, there are some Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals in here. Let’s put our money to good use this year and Support Queer!
Tiny Made
Alright, I have been following Tiny Made (run by designer, Bridget) for a while now and I am OBSESSED! I started following their page when they were making a series of Spongebob earrings, some of which you can see in the photos. I LOVE Spongebob!
They have so many other cute earrings as well! Check them out!
2. The Mushroom Babes
Alright, what queer person doesn’t love mushrooms!?! Or the female form?!?!?! This shop is run by an amazing artist, Georgia McGain-Harding, who makes amazing Eco-Friendly, Body Positive art. Check out their ADORABLE prints and stickers!
Also, they have a sale going on. What more could you ask for!
3. Philly Candles
We all know that candles are a backup gift for the holidays, and even though they are always well appreciated, they never make a statement. So this year, why not add a little spice to your candle gifts! Philly Candles are hand poured in Philadelphia, PA, and they make this amazing body and LGBTQ+ candles! They offer all different body sizes, and colors for different identities! They also have plenty of other cute candles, if you want something a little less *scandalous*.
Philly Candles is running sales this week as well! 20% off all of their candles!
4. Queer Gear
Sarah, the founder and owner of Queer Gear, created the shop to make inclusive and fashionable gear for the LGBTQ+ community! Shop everything from t-shirts to stickers to mugs to hats for all identities. Queer Gear also donates to amazing organizations such as The Afiya Center, The Okra Project, The Marsha P. Johnson Institute, Sylvia Rivera Law Project, and the Trevor Project, so you know your money is going back to the community and making a difference!
Queer Gear is offering 25% off and FREE sticker packets for every order through Monday, November 28th.
5. Peachie Kei
Cute is the only way you can describe this shop! Peachie Kei is a shop based in Ohio that creates pins, stickers, patches, and amazing Apothecary items! So many of their items include frogs, which I know everyone is obsessed with, like their Pronouns Earrings!
They are offering 20% off through Monday, and a free gift on orders $10+!!!
6. Boston Fiber Company
If you know me personally, you know I went through a HUGE crocheting phase. I had, I am not kidding, maybe 100 skeins of yarn. Maybe more… But, while I still have a love for crocheting, I had to clear it out when Reed moved in.
So! When one of you pointed me to a QUEER fiber arts store, it was everything I dreamed of!
Check out the Boston Fiber Company, and find beautiful yarn, needles, and books for your crochet and knitting loving friends! As a fiber artists fanatic, you cannot go wrong with a few skeins of yarn for a gift. Or! Check out their super cute Embroidery Kits!
And use their code TREATYOURSELF for 15% off through Monday!
7. The Third Child Wellness Boutique
Looking for vegan, pathogen free, eco-friendly skincare and aromatherapy??? Then you have to check out the Third Child Wellness Boutique!!! We actually interviewed Theresa, one of the owners, earlier this year and she is the SWEETEST! (Check out that episode here and learn how the shop got its name). This shop, located in New Jersey with and online store, has amazing products that you can feel good to use.
8. KimChi Chic Beauty
For fun eye shadow palettes, lipstick and gloss, and any other makeup look no further than KimChi Chic Beauty!

9. Vagabond Metalworks
So this might be one of the most unique artists I have found so far! Vagabond Metalworks makes extravagant masks and jewelry through metalwork! Run by artist Kest Schwartzman, this shop has some of the most unique pieces I have ever seen. Their cuffs are just gorgeous, and masks are so stunning! For your jewelry loving friends, this is definitely worth checking out.
10. CBeCeramics
So, I only recently found this artist, but I fell in love immediately! Especially with this Rainbow Gold Ashtray! LOVE! Artist, Cate Be, is an amazing ceramicist with beautiful mugs and fun ‘Ritual Tools’. She has a few pieces left for the holiday season, so snatch them up while you can. And she has more pieces coming soon! I cannot wait!
