Tanaïs Scent Sextet Curated By Sleepless Scents ($54)

Tanaïs is a queer fragrance brand run by founder Tanwi Nandini Islam, a New York City based author and perfumer, and beauty and studio director Talysha Moneé. The scents are inspired by their Bangladeshi heritage, their spiritual homes of India, Hawaii, Bali, Mexico, Morocco, the Mojave Desert, and Jamaica, as well as the non-duality of masc-femme and Afro-futurism. Fragrance can be tricky to gift if you don't know your bestie's scent preferences, so that's why we recommend a sample set. Curated by South Asian Perfume creator Yogi (@sleeplessscents), this set includes the following six fragrances in convenient travel sizes: Lovers Rock (spiced tobacco and sandalwood), Nymphaea (aquatic floral), Nåmaka (tropical floral), Sándalo (classic sandalwood), Pilgrimage (spicy floral), and Mala (incense, henna attar, rose, marigold, and carnation).

Grow Into Journal ($29, originally $39)

Grow Into is a self-care journal brand that's founded by queer immigrants Magdalena and Para. Everyone knows every stationary- and journal-obsessed person on our list has a million notebooks and journals, but that won't stop them from wanting another one anyway. The Grow Into Journal promises to be different. Inspired by the founders' struggle with maintaining consistency in journaling, the daily prompts and page outlines are simple enough to fill out every day, but thoughtful enough to make a difference in your routine. Plus, the company donates 1 percent of their profits to the Los Angeles LGBT Center at the end of each fiscal year.

Our chosen pick is for the artists and activists on your list. Davis's influential 1985 essay examines the role of art in social and racial liberation, and includes illustrations by painter Tschabalala Self.
