The 14 Best Pride Gifts for Everyone

Collage of gifts we recommend for pride displayed on a green background — The Spruce / Zackary Angeline

June is Pride Month for the LGBTQ+ community, which means it's time to celebrate friends and family, and what better way to do that than with Pride gifts? Many small businesses are run and owned by diverse people who offer home decor items such as candles, accent chairs, clothing, and even pet supplies.

You don't have to be part of the LGBTQ+ community to enjoy these many products—and by purchasing from these small businesses, you're supporting companies that may not usually have visibility. While buying from LGBTQ+ businesses during the month of June is a great way to show solidarity, these products are typically available year-round and make great gifts any time of the year.
