It’s never a bad idea to get your holiday shopping done early, but especially given shipping delays and problems in the global supply chain, this year it’s an especially good idea to get that shit done and over with. Whether you’re not sure what you want yourself or not sure what to get for someone in your life, this ultimate 2021 queer gift guide has a little bit of something for everyone. We’ve got LGBTQ+ books for readers, tools and appliances for cooking queers, stuff to make your home sexy and cozy, and so much more. This is basically a grab bag of gift ideas with a range of brands and prices, but if you’re looking for more specific gift guides, check out this one for horror fans, this lush list of aesthetically pleasing sex toys, or this star-guided list of what to buy for every astrological sign. And keep an eye out for more queer gift guides to come over the next week.
Also, using this guide helps us out! Purchasing items through our Affiliate Marketplace is one of many ways to support Autostraddle. There’s no extra cost for you, and it means we get a tiny lil percentage of the purchases you make! So you can support independent queer media while doing your holiday shopping this year! Cute!
Here’s what the Autostraddle team is wishing for this holiday season.

Is there any way y’all would do a registry or something, so readers could give presents to autostraddle folks? I get so much from autostraddle, and I do subscribe to A+, but presents are more fun to give!
Also, I don’t have the Batwoman omnibus, but I do have Batwoman vol 1-4 (issues 0-24)and Elegy that were gifted to me and I’ve read and would happily mail to Natalie/the Autostraddle office to continue the sharing. (They’re in really good condition.)
A rainbow sundial (a clock that tells time by using the sun) is a great idea, there is one you can find online that sits indoors on the windowsill and it makes big bright rainbows in the room when the sun shines on it. Very classy – handmade, personalized and appropriate – and they have gift certificates too, so you don’t have to worry about whether the man who makes them can make it in time for Christmas. I don’t remember what it’s called exactly, but you can find it with a search for rainbow sundial. Check it out, it’s one of the best rainbow gifts I have ever seen!
I love that this is basically another way to basically say “this is my personal brand.” I feel like you learn a lot about someone by finding out what they desire.
