While AmazonSmile is a great online shopping tool, it’s also important to support local businesses owned by POC and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, especially this holiday season. According to the Human Rights Campaign, “LGBTQ people…face significant economic disparities compared to their non-LGBTQ peers, which means they will more often lack the resources they need to stay afloat during the COVID-19 crisis.” If you have the means right now, please consider shopping small and giving back to your community while you’re at it!
Luckily for you, we’ve researched the hottest gifts that we think your family and friends will love. Check out our gift guide below featuring rad items from local LGBTQIA+ and/or POC-owned businesses in Austin and San Antonio. And in case you were wondering, they all offer delivery and curbside services, too.
