It’s officially Pride Month, so get your party pants on! It’s time to celebrate and shower your LGBTQ+ loved ones (and yourself!) with Pride gifts. But with all the parties and marches on your cal, there's precious little time to come up with gift ideas. Thankfully, the Cosmo team did all the present hunting for you, so all you've got to do is pick from the 45 Pride gift ideas below!
When shopping for a Pride gift, we suggest skipping performative rainbow-covered products and opt for something more meaningful. The best options are those that truly support the LGBTQ+ community, whether you're purchasing from a queer-owned brand or an ally that's donating a portion of sales to an LBGTQ+ organization like The Trevor Project or GLSEN.
Whether you’re looking for Pride gift ideas for your bestie, your partner, or yourself (you deserve to be spoiled this month, too!), you can’t go wrong with the Pride outfits, makeup, books, and other giftable goodies we've got below. Celebrating the identities of the queer folks in your life is free—but no one ever scoffed at a cute present, either! Just saying.
The home chef in your life will love (and actually use!) this vibrant apron, created in collaboration with The Trevor Project.

Name a better gift for a RuPaul's Drag Race fan than tix to see their fave drag queens perform live in Las Vegas. I don't think you can, especially when you can score RuPaul's Drag Race LIVE tickets for as little as $59 on Ticketmaster! The current cast includes top-tier queens from around the globe, including Jaida Essence Hall, Pangina Heals, Latrice Royale, Kennedy Davenport, Lawrence Chaney, and Asia O'Hara.
To celebrate Pride Month, Candier is donating 100% of the proceeds (yes, you read that right, 100%!) from this glittery rainbow candle to True Colors United, a non-profit that supports homeless LGBTQ+ youth. Consider it the perfect excuse to buy yourself one, too.
RuPaul's recent memoir, The House of Hidden Meanings, is an essential read for any Drag Race fan. It'll make you laugh, cry, and listen to "Covergirl" about 1000 times.
You'll be their new favorite person (as if you weren't already) after they unwrap this graphic tee from Mariah Carey's reissued collection of Rainbow merch. Bonus points if you pair it with a Rainbow vinyl record or CD.
Believe me, this tiny little Telfar bag will be their new go-to on nights out. It's just the right size to hold their phone, wallet, keys, and lipgloss (I know bc I have one.) Try the medium or large size if you think they'd prefer something they can use as a work tote.
"Chances are they already know and love Lady Gaga's makeup brand, Haus Labs—but have they tried the brand-new glassy blush balm? It gives an effortless flush of color and glowy highlight, and it's soooo easy to apply. All it takes is a quick swipe to the cheek and finger tap to blend to feel dewy and refreshed," says Heath Owens, senior commerce editor.
Can't make it to their Pride party? Send a box of mini Pride cupcakes from Baked by Melissa in your place. The sweetest part isn't the tasty flavor options or the nationwide next-day shipping. It's that 10% of proceeds are donated to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center in NYC.
They'll squeal with delight unwrapping Casey McQuinston's Red, White & Royal Blue (and many times while reading it). The queer romance novel, which tells the complicated love story of the American President's son and the Prince of Wales, will have them hooked, regardless of whether or not they've seen the film adaptation.
They'll love this Little Words Project bracelet even more when they learn the brand is donating 25% of proceeds to Campus Pride, a non-profit that develops resources to support LGBTQ+ students nationwide. Needless to say, it'll be on their wrist all summer long.
Shopping for a makeup enthusiast? Your search for the perfect Pride Month gift begins and ends with this Danessa Myricks makeup palette. Unlike other rainbow-colored Pride palettes, these 11 chromatic shades can be used on the eyes, cheeks, and lips, allowing for even more experimentation.
Nothing says "I love you for exactly who you are" like a pair of custom Pride sneakers. These timeless Converse high-tops can be personalized with the color, laces, Pride flag patches, and pronouns of your choice.
This rainbow bralette from Parade will make your S.O. feel like their sexiest self, especially if you gift the coordinating bottoms alongside it. While you're at it, might I suggest refreshing your own underwear drawer with the inclusive styles included in the brand's 3-for-$25 deal?
"LGBTQ+ folks love a fragrance (you prob didn't hear it here first!). So far this summer, I've been obsessed with Tangerine Boy by Phlur. It's a lovely unisex fragrance with a warm and spicy base that balances out the bright punch of tangerine. Plus, the name is so playful and flirty," says Heath Owens.
There's no better bevy to pull up to a Pride party with than RuPaul's House of Love cocktails. This variety pack (which you can order online and pick up at Total Wine on the way) has fruity margs and vodka sodas that everybody will love.
P.S. House of Love makes tons of yummy mocktails your sober (and hungover) friends can enjoy, too. Remember, Mother Ru has been sober for 25+ years, ppl!
This dainty 10k gold necklace serves as an everyday reminder to live as your most authentic self. Be sure to tell your gift recipient that Kay Jewelers is donating $100 to the Human Rights Campaign for every Pride necklace purchased this June, including the one they're currently holding.
Brandon Blackwood's affordable designer handbags have been seen dangling off the arms of A-listers like Lindsay Lohan, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, Ice Spice, Megan Thee Stallion, Olivia Rodrigo, and Julia Fox, just to name a few. Why not add your loved one (and yourself!) to this LGBTQ+ fashion brand's lengthy list of fans?
Oh, so they won't shut up about those rainbow bagels on their FYP. In that case, gift this rainbow bagel kit from FarmSteady so they can make their very own at home. They're tasty af, surprisingly easy to whip up, and $5 from every kit sold goes to GLSEN, supporting LGBTQ+ issues in K-12 education.
Your Jennifer Coolidge-obsessed friend needs this $5 sticker for their Stanley Cup—and you definitely need one, too. Because let's be real, the gays really do know how to do stuff.
