YAMZ 2023 holiday gift guide
It’s that time of year to carefully scour the internet for the best gift for the besties, family, or even your lover. Why not make this year even more special by buying from small independent artists?! Bonus points if they are queer or Latine. I may even know one!
It’s me! Hi! I’m the artist, it's me!
If you’re struggling to find the perfect gift, check out this guide! I’ll walk you through some things to consider as you shop around, break down gift details, and share how to make them even more meaningful.
Let’s get into it.
ART PRINTS FOR EVERYONE
Art prints can be a very thoughtful way to show someone you care about them. All of the YAMZ art prints are printed on museum-quality paper, and are standard sizes for framing, so it makes purchasing a frame that much easier.
Our art has a variety of themes for everyone. Since my work is very identity-driven, there are lots of options to show someone you care about who they are and what they stand for.
ELEVATE YOUR ART PRINTS
Prints are an easy gift to take to the next level! Here are a couple of ideas:
Hunt for a thrifted frame to add an extra touch of sustainability and personalization.
Buy multiple pieces to make a triptych or gallery wall for that special person. Bonus points if it's your partner - you know they’ll love that shit.
When it comes to gifting apparel, I know the options seem endless. Our apparel is created with high-quality garments and printed locally in Denver, Colorado. From t-shirts to crewnecks with various styles and messages, you’re sure to find the perfect piece for your bestie.
The Abolish ICE shirt or the No One is Illegal on Stolen Land shirt are perfect for the activist in your life. They speak their mind and have justice in their brain, always.
Fruity is a personality trait and a way of life, and your friend who shakes their YAMZ or attends all the farmers markets embodies it fully. Our Certified Fruity tee or Certified Juicy tote are fresh and fun, just like them.
Our most popular line ever is THE one for your favorite plant padre or madre. This shirt comes in many colors, and even comes in a community of cute cacti. This bestselling design is also available in a crewneck to stay warm and cozy for the cold days ahead.
ADD TO THE ENAMEL PIN COLLECTION
Enamel pins are some of my favorite things that I make because I’m a collector myself. They’re a great way to gift art in a small way. They make cute and meaningful stocking stuffers and can be a great addition to a larger gift as well.
Holiday bundles are a great way to save a little bit and knock out shopping for specific people! This year, we’ve curated a large selection of holiday bundles with a variety of prices and needs.

COLORING BOOKS FOR THE YOUNG AND FOR THE WISE
Our coloring books are wonderful for the artsy and the mindful. We have two coloring books to choose from, with all illustrations being 100% original work created by me,YAMZ, aka Brayan Montes!
Tierra Sagrada is a dive into the rich cultural heritage of my home land, Mexico. From calaveras to charros, this coloring book is great for someone exploring their heritage, or someone who’s missing home.
In Full Color is a celebration of queerness and all its joy! From queer icons to quotes, this coloring book is great for anyone still exploring their queerness, or someone who wants to say it loud and proud.
Did you know we make jewelry? You do now! All YAMZ necklaces are 18 karat gold-plated sterling silver.
Our Astrology necklaces are for your astrology-loving bestie and make great gifts for the whole friend group! All signs come in a specific color and in white. Go for the color if you need a lil’ pop, or go for the white if you want to wear it with everything.
Jaguar Necklaces
Jaguar necklaces are designed to help you dig into your inner ferocity. These jaguars are part of our popular Abolish ICE design and can be a subtle way to show your values. IYKYK!
The classic, one-of-a-kind YAMZ puzzle is the right gift for that puzzle fanatic. It’s one of my favorite pieces that we’ve created to date.
I could go on and on, but here are a few things I love about it:
You can jump around to the different designs to complete it - it’s a collage of YAMZ stickers!
You won’t get bored - too much color and intricate design. ;-)
It makes a rainbow if you stand back and squint.
It’s BIG - 18x24 inches.
