Pride Swag Bag Ideas: What to Include

Quick Answer

A great Pride swag bag mixes personal touches with playful, practical items—think pronoun pins, statement keychains, and a reusable tote to carry it all.

Common Questions About Pride Swag Bags

What should go in a Pride swag bag?

Include at least one identity-affirming item (like a pronoun pin), one playful accessory (like a rotating pin or keychain), and a practical carrier (like a tote). This mix works for both individuals and group gifts. Aim for three categories: identity, fun, and utility.

How do I choose items for someone I don't know well?

Stick to broadly inclusive items—like a platypus pin or a magic 8 ball pin—that don't assume specific identity or experience. Avoid items tied to a particular subculture unless you're sure it fits. When unsure, choose playful over specific.

Can I use a pre-made swag bag as a base?

Yes. A pre-assembled bundle like the NYTC Swag Bag gives you a solid starting point. Add one or two personal items—like a handwritten note or a local Pride event sticker—to make it feel custom. Personalize the pre-made bag with a small touch.
