Today on my blog, I’m sharing over 90, yes, that’s right, 90 (!!) BEST coming out gifts for LGBT people. Eventually, I’ll get to 100, so if you have ideas on things I should add — always feel free to drop me a line HERE.
This blog post is all about the BEST coming out gifts for 2023.
Best Coming Out Gifts
When it comes to finding the best coming out gifts for 2023, I wanted to first share a few #HotTips to help you find the BEST gift.
My 3 Tips:
- Include a card or thoughtful message of support. You don’t need to write a MISSIVE, my friend, but it is super helpful to write something thoughtful. If words aren’t your thing, I’d start with something like, “Hey friend! I wanted to send you this little gift so you have a reminder that I love and support you 100%. Thank you for sharing your true self with me and the world. I love you!”
- Go for the “Zing!” When I put together my LGBT gift guides like this one, I really try to think of ALL sorts of different kinds of people. My goal here is to make a pretty diverse list, so as YOU scroll you can GO WITH YOUR GUT. If something “zings” you or catches your attention, grab it! Don’t overthink things too much!
- International friend? Maybe shipping a coming out gift doesn’t make sense for you — that’s ok! Sending a card (I’ve peppered them through my list below) can be so thoughtful and lovely. Generally, a coming out card isn’t something you can buy at Target, lol — you have to special order it.
Alrighty, with that — let’s get to the list!
As alwas, if you have any questions or suggestions for additions (I love LGBT owned brands!), always feel free to reach out to me via email or Instagram.
Best Coming Out Gifts: Coming Out Candle | $24.99 +
Sometimes I just wanna send a sassy and fun gift! This coming out candle is pretty funny, and has a bit of a snarky edge — this is a great gift for a friend or BFF who has recently come out, who loves to “verbally spar” with you! <3

Best Coming Out Gifts: Jonathan Adler Trinket Tray | $115 +
God, the CHOKEH0LD Jonathan Adler has on my LIFE!!! This designer is a proud member of the LGBT community (love that) and this trinket tray is GORGEOUS. I think that this is a stellar coming out gift idea for the friend who is a bit more bougie (see that price tag), but is also a loud and outgoing human. Also a great gift for the jewelry lover! (I love the design details at the end of the color blocks – those raindrops are GORGEOUS!)

Coming Out Presents: Watching You Grow Card | $6 +
Ok, legit almost started crying at this gift. It’s so sweet! I love a heartfelt coming out card. As I shared above in my “3 Tips” section (scroll back up to read that if you didn’t!), getting a coming out card shows a lot of thoughtfulness and planning. And your friend, loved one or family member (who has recently come out) can put this card on their fridge or at their desk, and member you love them just as they are today — and who they are growing into.

Gifts for Someone Who Just Came Out: Rainbow Wine Glasses | $44.95 +
THESE RAINBOW WINE GLASSES HAUNT MY DREAMS! I personally would give this set of rainbow wineglasses as a coming out gift to an adult friend who has recently come out. Personally, I’ve had a number of friends come out as pan or realize they’re bisexual in the last few years, and some of those friends question the validity of their identity (it’s a whole thing). Because of that, I think this RAINBOW RIOT OF COLORRRR, BABY, would make such a great gift. <3
