Fun Summer Pride Gifts That Give Back
‘Tis the season, so we’ve found some cool new must-haves for you and your friends to wear, from brands that support us.
Pride is always the time of year when we remember to add a little bit of rainbow to our environment, especially when we are on the go. Here are some of our favorites this year—and many of these brands even give back to a worthy cause.
Skullcandy Audio
What you need for Pride season is some audaciously rainbow-colored audio accessories that deliver your Pride party anthems with stellar sound! The All Love collection updates two of Skullcandy’s best-selling products with new colors to support the non-profit To Write Love on Her Arms. A portion of proceeds will help To Write Love on Her Arms fund mental health programs for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide, within the LGBTQIA+ community. For Pride Month choose from two, or grab both like we did: Skullcandy All Love Collection Dime Evo ($59.99) earbuds and Icon ANC ($109.99) headphones.
They each have very impressive specs, all while looking fabulous with their iridescent rainbow gradient: Dime Evo earbuds feature 36-hour battery life, a unique clip-on case, and noise-cancelling fit. Icon ANC on-ear headphones feature 60-hour battery life, active noise cancelling technology, Skullcandy Clear Voice Smart Mic, and a travel bag. The style and the quality on both items are impressive. Importantly for Pride, these are sweat and water resistant. If you download the Skullcandy app you can customize your sound and audio features. The Dime Evo is our pick for going to the Pride parade, picnic or tea dance—clip the case onto your belt or bag so you don’t misplace your buds. Skullcandy is super easy to pair with your devices plus comes with a 1 year guarantee.
Knockaround
For the fourth year, San Diego-based lifestyle and performance eyewear brand Knockaround is continuing its meaningful partnership with The Trevor Project, the leading organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ+ youth. Supporting the mental health and well-being of LGBTQ+ youth is more critical than ever — and as a brand that stands for self-expression, positivity, and community, Knockaround’s partnership with The Trevor Project reflects a deeper commitment to inclusivity beyond the month of June.
To date, Knockaround has donated over $160,000 to The Trevor Project, and will contribute $5 from every product sold from its 2025 Pride Collection, up to $50,000. The Pride Collection includes sunglasses and towels designed to celebrate identity and individuality, featuring expressive, rainbow-hued styles like the Rainbow on My Parade Premiums and Deja Views.
GUESS Watches
GUESS Watches has launched its 2025 Worn With Pride capsule collection, honoring the LGBTQ+ community through vibrant design and continued support of The Trevor Project. GUESS Watches has partnered The Trevor Project since 2021 and will contribute $25,000 to the organization in 2025. The Trevor Project is the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ+ young people. Purchases from the Worn With Pride collection will not affect the donation total. Choose from two styles: Rainbow Mosaic or Rainbow Logo.
“Now more than ever, we have the power to bring color, light, love, and vibrancy to the world around us. Our capsule collection is in honor of all the LGBTQ+ community. It highlights the colors of the Pride Flag which symbolizes Love, Acceptance, Peace and Inclusion. Wear Your GUESS Watch with PRIDE as a symbol of solidarity for every individual who lives boldly and authentically. Together, let’s make the world a more colorful place.
“Wear PRIDE on your wrist and love in your heart. Support The Trevor Project with us and help make the world a more colorful, inclusive place.” This message is proudly displayed on the GUESS product page and to be honest, it’s a refreshing change from some of the big brands that have run from our community this year.

Pura Vida Jewelry
Casual, fun, Summer jewelry should scream Pride and inclusion. Pura Vida has come out with some items that are a cut above the usual rainbow-themed trinkets. Bracelets, pendants, necklaces, chokers, rings and more. There’s a stack to choose from. For every style sold in the Pride Collection, Pura Vida will donate 5% of the purchase price ($50,000 minimum) to The Trevor Project, the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ+) young people. Pura Vida has donated $149,447 to date to The Trevor Project.
TONYMOLY
Celebrate Pride with TONYMOLY‘s limited edition launches and help us support a great cause! A portion of all proceeds from our limited edition Pride Collection will be donated to It Gets Better, a nonprofit organization with a mission to uplift, empower, and connect lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer youth around the globe.
There are a bunch of cute skin products (body and face) to choose from. Start with the Rainbow Radiance Set or why not grab the Deluxe Sampler set and try a few different things. These products are steeply discounted for Pride and are giving fun, fruity, yummy Summer vibes!
