Squirrel Friend Ornament Raffle Ticket
Handmade by Justin Ross
Long before RuPaul took the term “squirrel friend” all the way to the bank, squirrels have, well, squirreled their way into queer culture. Think of the very dykey Sandy Cheeks from Spongebob, or fey little Twiggy the Waterskiing Squirrel, or suspected bisexual Rocky the Flying Squirrel (or better yet, his nemesis Natasha, an ironclad gay icon). This cozy, cuddly squirrel friend is, of course, an expert handler of nuts.

Beyoncé’s Renaissance Horse Tree Topper Raffle Ticket

Just as Mary rode that donkey across the desert to Bethlehem, Beyoncé rode that disco ball horse across the Renaissance album cover into the manger of our minds.

This year, make your crown this tree-topper fit for a chart topper and let the play of colored lights dance across its crystal coat.

Gayzebo Ornament Raffle Ticket
Handmade by Alex McCargar
Despite all its emphasis on straight lines, architecture has always had a queer bent. (Looking at you, leaning Tower of Pisa.) And while classicists would have you fly to Grecian ruins in search of queer construction, new findings published by The InQueery’s Resident Historian of Dwelling Design prove the “purest form of high-arcqueertecture” is closer than you may think. Enter: the gayzebo. As a structure, the gayzebo is zoned beyond the binary, being both indoors and out of them, simultaneously covered yet exposed. Meeting place of dandies and sapphists alike, the gayzebo—much like gay sex—is not utilitarian. It’s not a shed, for Christ’s sake. Instead, the gayzebo’s purpose is pleasure. A stage for life’s little dramas to unfold. Its stiff posts and sloping shingles come together as an example, a call to answer, asking you as they ask each other—Will you meet me under the gayzebo?

Miley Cyrus’s Vagina Dentata Catsuit Ornament Raffle Ticket
Handmade by Weston Wei
Miley’s triumphant, all-inclusive “Mother’s Daughter” video featured artists and activists from across the gender spectrum. But, just like Santa, Miley knew to go that extra mile for her queers, with a red latex body suit to evoke Britney’s eternal “Oops, I Did It Again!” getup, and a pair of grills to reclaim the genitalia. This look is sure to start conversations among you and your family—about body, agency, gender identity, and how Bangerz! has actually held up really well since 2013.

The Chunky Chain Ornament Raffle Ticket

The holidays: a time of outsize decorative statements, of glinting brocades and chiffon ribbons. If you’re going to deck out your house for the grandest yule impact, why go shy with your jewelry?

Queernivorous Plant Sapling Ornament Raffle Ticket
Handmade by Wendy Wood
Miley Cyrus was condemned for flashing her tongue, during the Bangerz! era. How will this lewd, three-tongued specimen be censored by the straight masses? Voracious and sexually deviant as the creature from Little Shop of Horrors, this seedling packs more allure than Uma Thurman’s flytrap in Batman and Robin. A pre-evolution of last year’s savage flora, this baby blossom needs to feast on flesh to become a proper queer icon. Secrete your toxic venom; we’re gagging on your poison!
