Fresh Ten Holiday Gift Ideas

Thanksgiving is over – it’s time to shop. To help out this year, Cherry Grrl has done its research and found the best and most gay and lesbian friendly gifts to give this season. From travel ideas to clothing options, these are our Fresh Ten Holiday Gift Ideas. (For even more ideas, check out the HRC’s Buying for Equality 2010 Guide, which helps us support businesses that support us with every purchase we make.)

10. Marc Jacobs T-Shirt. Designer Marc Jacobs, who is openly gay, unveiled two t-shirts in July that promote equal rights for the LGBT community. The t-shirts both feature the phrase “I pay my taxes, I want my rights,” and one features a lesbian couple with a child. The items can be bought at Marc Jacobs stores. Click here for more.

9. The L Word Final Season. On sale at Wolfe Video for $44.95, the Season 6 DVD covers everything from, “Talking, Laughing, Loving, Breathing, Fighting, Fu**ing, Crying, Drinking, Writing, Winning, Losing, Cheating, Kissing, Thinking, Dreaming.” And SO much more.

8. Sexy Gifts from Babeland. Dazzle your friends and paramours with a romantic and sexy gift. Choose from among Babeland’s Holiday Gift Guide, their pre-packaged gift kits, send a Babeland gift card, or visit their How to Choose a Sex Toy Gift guide for suggestions.

7. Radko Collector’s Ornament Candie Cane from the HRC. Candie Cane, Radko’s 2009 limited edition ornament,  evokes the custom and spirit of giving. Celebrate the traditions of the season with Candie Cane! Holding a holiday treat and presenting an elegantly wrapped gift, Candie is a sweat reminder that together we can deliver the gift of equality for all. Mouth blown and hand-painted, no two of these Radko Sparkle Brite ornaments are the same. HRC’s tenth annual holiday ornament is handsomely gift-boxed. Available exclusively through HRC, where 100% OF YOUR PURCHASE goes to HRC’s fight for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender equality.

6. Sweet Kenyan Safari. Help your lesbian friend or loved one join Sweet (the travel company that merges the best of lesbian entertainment with social consciousness and environmental awareness) for 10 days of wonder in Kenya and experience the magnificent diversity of the wildlife and landscape, February 7-16, 2010.

5. “Legalize Gay” Apparel. At American Apparel, they believe that “sexuality should be celebrated, not condemned.” Help celebrate with their t-shirts, tanks, panties, and briefs that all read “Legalize Gay.”

4. Tickets to The Dinah. Every lesbian wants to be at the biggest lesbian party of the year. Help them get there: Club Skirts the Dinah 2010, March 31-April 4.

3. I Can’t Think Straight. Everyone loves to get a great new book for the holidays. Every lesbian will love Shamim Sarif’s tremendous novel, I Can’t Think Straight.

2. ASPCA Gifts. We know the lesbian community adores their furry sons and daughters. In honor of the cats and dogs that bring joy into our lives, make a difference by shopping at the ASPCA. All net proceeds from your purchase go to support ASPCA programs.

1. Lady Gaga’s The Fame Monster. It’s only $7.99 on iTunes, it’s fantastic, and it helps to promote an artist that is constantly promoting you and equal rights for all.
