This is for straight-passing lesbians. A little list of things you can wear or ‘present’ to signal your sexuality so that other lesbians will notice you. So many wlw gals don't look like stereotypical lesbians. They aren't wearing loose cargo shorts and sporting a purple pixie cut. They don't have full arm and neck tats, and they aren't holding up power tools while driving around in giant pick-up truck or a U-Haul. They fly under the radar. They don't want to be loud and proud about their sexuality, because honestly, it's no one else's business. EXCEPT when they want to find more Sapphic ladies to hang with or to date. They want to signal their sexuality to the right gals. Not to everyone. So here is a little list of subtle lesbian gifts you can give a gal who wants to quietly connect with other lesbians in the wild. The femmes who are wondering… why doesn't anyone ask me out? Well, invite them to ask!! And grab some of these subtle lesbian ‘signaling’ gifts (for yourself) that I found. This list is loaded with stereotypes, and I'm def not sorry about that. :) *Lesbian Flagging* Some of the links associated with this list may be affiliate links.

Funky and trendy, weird and quirky… this is a list of fun things I've seen on Amazon lately. Little trinkets that don't cost very much you can give loved ones and friends as gifts for any occasion. These items are each for a a specific person with a unique personality. For example, give the Costco receipt scarf to someone who is obsessed with Costco. Or give the Xanax candle to someone who is always freaking out over something.

Orange is a totally underrated color when it comes to fashion and accessories. I think that it is so unexpectedly unique that when someone walks into a room decked out in orange, they will absolutely be the center of attention! Brightly saturated orange can feel fresh and summery. Red-orange can feel passionate and bold. Terra Cotta orange can feel earthy, warm and cozy. Orange geometrics paired with teal, brown or yellow has a retro vibe. Orange is so versatile and fun, but I find it difficult to find much of it in the stores. I've compiled a list of some of my favorite orange fashion and accessories. If you have a fashion-forward woman in your life who loves to live on the edge of the trends, you will definitely find a gift for her on this list.

It looks like she is lounging seaside sipping Aperol Spritz in Italy on vacation. But it's Sunday brunch downtown San Antonio!? The European summer aesthetic is all the rage for 2026, and it is characterized by minimalist ‘soft tailoring,' with easy breezy natural fabrics and materials. Resort wear fashion in soft neutrals with pops of color here and there. Think… lemons, Vespas, silk scarfs, coastal motifs, flowing fabrics and digging your toes into the sand. I love this fashion vibe because it leans into a slower pace of life; romantic and thoughtful… playful but serene, while appreciating all the little things your day has to offer. I imagine women who can really pull this off are probably smiling all the time! Here is a fun list of fashion must-haves including women's outfits and accessories that can help you pull off this look as well :) Some of the links associated with this list may be affiliate links.

I'm a Gen X mom to a Gen Alpha tween boy, and finding great gifts for him can be really hard. I don't have a ton of money, so I feel so much pressure to spend it wisely. I sometimes think that he will like something, and my offering is met with an eye roll and some kind of comment about how ‘cringey’ I can be. He is an awesome kid, but it is difficult to get a read on what is actually cool these days. This is a list of stuff I've found that kids these days may really love and appreciate! Stuff that shows that I've been listening and I embrace the world he lives in now. The things on this list may be skewed towards boys, but I really think that there are very few differences between young men's and women's interests these days. They want tech. They love their friends. They like nostalgic aesthetics, but in new forms. They are starting to become adults, finding new interests, exploring the world, and discovering new passions. And they want to be inspired, supported and most of all they want to laugh and have a good time. Please read each list item, as there is a solid reason that these products live here. :) Some of the links associated with this list may be affiliate links.

Only a few years ago, if anyone asked me why I was so messed up, I wouldn't be able to tell them. Now, I have the language and knowledge I need in order to tell you why I'm so messed up. :) Many of these books have opened my eyes to the forces in my life that shape my thoughts and behaviors. Many of these have given me the tools & frameworks with which I am now healing myself and seeing my behaviors and negative thoughts as changeable. The latter books on the list have helped me enter a world of spirituality, calmness and peace. Your life experiences and particular flavor of trauma may differ from mine, but these are books that I would recommend to anyone looking to heal from trauma and discover your true self so as to move onwards and upwards in a healthy way. For yourself or for someone you love, find a fitting book and dive in for a painful and enlightening ride! AND If you are an avid reader, might I suggest joining your local library so you don't have to spend your money on them up front. I like downloading audiobooks for free from the library, and eventually buying the few that really stand out. I've linked these books back to Bookshop.org if you are interested in buying a copy. This is an online storefront where a portion of the sale (30% of the cover price) is directed to the participating brick & mortar bookshop chosen by the buyer, or split among all participating stores if no specific store is chosen. They sell physical copies of books, as well as ebooks. I love this website, because I am supporting a local bookshop without leaving my sofa :) There may be affiliate links in this post.

Deep purple is an unexpected choice for an accent color in your home. I find that this is a most uncommon choice, but people feel really ‘wowed’ by it when they see it done well. I would pair this color with warm grays of any intensity as a base and little shots of white or fresh yellow for bold contrasting pops. Cool metals like brushed nickel would really compliment this palette, while warm metals like copper and brushed gold would play up the rustic and passionate side instead. I think deep purple adds a luxurious aesthetic to a bedroom or living room, and might get the juices flowing, if you know what I mean. It is sultry, moody and bold. mmmmm Here are some home decor accents in this color I love so much… pillows, light fixtures, furniture, area rugs and lots more!

We really want the smut, but need to feel invested in the characters and the story to really get the juices flowing! These books hit the mark, in different ways, providing a nice balance between the ‘feels’ and eye-popping sex scenes. Many lesbian erotica novels seem to be written for the straight man, and seem to be focused on boobs and butts and getting down to business. We gals want the business, it just often takes us many more paragraphs to get there. I feel like the books in this list are written for the female audience to enjoy. Also, I suggest NOT reading any of these in public. Happy reading! and Happy Endings! Some of the links associated with this list may be affiliate links.

Many of these bumper stickers are pretty relatable; I have the diamond shaped one on my van. I can't tell you how many times another driver has pulled up alongside me and smiled with a thumbs up, pointing at the sticker. I love it!

This day is all about her! I'm a mother, and I feel most loved when I receive a gift that shows that they KNOW me. (NOT crappy stuff with ‘Happy Mother’s Day' written on it.) Think about mom… her personality, her struggles, her hobbies and passions. And get a gift for her that reflects how much you understand her and care about her as a person. Please don't get mom a vacuum or a blender. Save that gift for another time. :) I've listed some ideas here that would make MY heart swell.
