2022 Queer Holiday Shopping
Abbey here! The holidays are coming, and we are all are shopping! But, if you are like me, you have a habit of waiting till the last minute and defaulting to Amazon. I don’t want to do that this year! And if you are reading this, you don’t either!
So, I have created this list of 10 Queer Artists and Shops where you can get all your holiday gifts. Instead of giving more money to corporations, let’s support our queer community and buy from somewhere we can be proud of!
Ash + Chess
Reed and I love this artist so much, we have bought a print from her on two separate occasions! You can see our prints in the last two photos.
Jenna Guthrie has two very distinct styles that I am OBSESSED with!!! First, if you are looking for some fun boob prints to hang around your house, check out several of her drawings depicting vibrant, plant-like boobies. Or, if you are looking for something less risqué, check out her black and white landscape prints. We have one from my favorite spot at the James River!
Check out her Instagram and Shop.
3. WunderPop
Looking for some cool queer apparel to gift this season? You have to check out WunderPop! They are a queer, BIPOC owned store located in San Diego, CA. We actually had the owners, April and Kim, on the show last year to talk about their journey and store! In the first photo, you can see the sweatshirts that Autumn and I bought last year for the holidays. You can find that episode here.
Check out their Store and Instagram.
4. Queer Babe Pottery
In search of some ADORABLE pottery, beautiful earrings, or sexy wall hangings? You have to check out Queer Baby Pottery! I bought one of their wall hangings a few months ago, which you can see in the first picture, and have been obsessed with their work ever since! From their super cute Miyazaki Mugs to their gorgeous earrings, I just want it all!

5. Amethystical Vibes Jewelry
If you live in Richmond, VA then you probably already know about Jini and Tonic, but if you are not then I am so excited to introduce you to them! Lead by owner Jini, they sell adorable pins, apparel, and tote bags. The favorite pin I have says ‘Kill Your Imposter Syndrome’.

7. Love Struck Prints
Alright, we all have that friend who is obsessed with cats which makes it so easy to find presents for them! And here is another idea! Check out Love Struck Prints for their fun cat prints, stickers, and apparel! I mean look at these, they are adorable!

8. Carlie Pearce
I have not yet gotten a print from this artist yet, but they are top of my list of original paintings I hope to acquire! Carlie Pearce makes STUNNING paintings, many based off the female body. My favorite are her painting depicting the female form as landscapes. Pick out one of her prints for your women loving women friends!
Check out her Instagram and Shop.
9. A Room of One’s Own
I think books are one of the most underrated gifts out there! A well thought-out book can be so meaningful and heartwarming. So! If you are looking to gift some books this holiday season, try buying them from this Queer and Trans owned bookstore, A Room of One’s Own!
They are located in Teejop in Wisconsin, but you can also find there online store here.
10. Liberal Jane
Looking for some female empowering art for your liberal friends? Check out the artist, Liberal Jane! The artist behind it all, Caitlin Blunnie, uses her amazing talents to create strong pieces about social justice and bodily autonomy. You will definitely be making a statement with a print like this, and the right people will appreciate it.
