- Bario Neal Rainbow Collection, starts at $590: Whether or not you're on the hunt for a ring for a certain finger (ahem), or just some gorgeous, ethically made fine jewelry to wear for any occasion, there are so many things to love about Bario Neal, and their special Rainbow Collection features rainbow-gemstone bands, cluster rings, pendants and more. They have always been on the side of inclusivity since they were founded in 2008—one of the first jewelers to fight against the heteronormative ideals that are predominant in the jewelry industry—and they give back to LGBTQ+ youths by donating proceeds to The Attic Youth Center.
- Beekman1802 ‘Bloom With Pride' Limited Edition Skincare Set, $59: Owned by husbands Dr. Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell, Beekman1802 offers clinically kind skin and body care products that have earned them a medley of accolades. Their Limited Edition Pride Skincare Set features their bestselling Bloom Cream Daily Moisturizer, plus a rainbow of targeted serum boosters made with some of the trendiest, highly effective and sensitive skin safe ingredients ($59/$109 value!). One hundred percent of the proceeds from the kit go toward The Ali Forney Center, which provides support to at-risk and homeless LGBTQ+ youth.
- Little Words Project ‘Be True' Bracelet, $30: If you're in your friendship bracelet-making era, you're going to want to add Little Words Project's ‘Be True' Campus Pride bracelet to your wrist. Twenty-five percent of sales from this bracelet will benefit Campus Pride to develop resources to support LGBTQIA+ students.
- Solgaard Carry-On Closet Lite, $265: We love Solgaard luggage for their signature FlowCloset™ that keeps you organized on-the-go, so when they launched a special Pride carry-on featuring chic rainbow trim, we were immediately adding to cart. Bonus, they are giving a $5,000 scholarship to LGBTQ+ students who are studying a major related to ocean health and preservation.
- Modern Picnic Pride Collection handbags, $149-$220): Modern Picnic teamed up with designer Zach Mathias for the fourth year in a row to create their Pride Collection, featuring chic handbag designs that you can personalize with text or a monogram, and giving 20% of proceeds to The Trevor Project.
- Gay Pride Apparel Identity Beach Towels, $45: GPA is the place to shop for our all your Pride needs: apparel, flags, accessories. I personally have my eye on this bi flag beach towel for summertime sunning. And they have made it a priority to donate a portion of their profits year-round to organizations that promote queer visibility, support LGBTQ+ youth, and fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
- Katy Perry Collections Pool Slide Shell Sandal, $59: Now's the perfect time to shop for your summer footwear. Katy Perry's shoe line has tons of great vacation-worthy styles while giving back 15% to the Alexis Project which brings healthcare to transgender people.
- Nose Best Candles, $22: Nose Best, a proud POC, queer, and woman-led candle start-up born in Harlem during the pandemic, offers a medley of scents with cheeky monikers, perfect for Pride gifts (and beyond). They work with such groups as Trinity Place Shelter, a safe, affirming haven where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) youth and young adults in New York City.
