It's Safe to Be Proud at The 12th House GR

A LGBTQ-owned local gift shop in Grand Rapids, MI

Rainbow flags and Pride merch may be abundant in June, but once Pride month ends, many companies put those things back in the closet. At The 12th House GR, we celebrate LGBTQ Pride year-round.

Step inside our local gift shop, and you'll find colorful T-shirts, magnets, enamel pins and other handmade gifts from local artists.

The 12th House GR exists to...

Celebrate our identity
Empower LGBTQ folks in our community
Show queer youth that they're not alone and that it's OK to be themselves

Swing by today to experience that strong sense of community you've been searching for.

This store is a dream come true for us

Growing up, SJ and her father bonded over their love of art. They planned to open a local gift shop together, but unfortunately, SJ's father passed away from cancer less than a year before the grand opening of The 12th House GR.

SJ and her husband honor her father's memory every day by showcasing the work of independent artists in and around Grand Rapids, MI.

Hi friends,

I wanted to share some bittersweet news - after more than four years of magic, art, and community, The 12th House GR will be closing its physical space on December 23, 2025.

This has been one of the hardest choices I've had to make - full of thought, grief, and tenderness for the space and community we built together. The last few years have brought challenges with health, rising costs, and the realities of running a small creative business, but also so much beauty, connection, and love.

The 12th House has always been more than a store. It's been a safe space- a home for artists, dreamers, witches, and weirdos - and I'm endlessly grateful for everyone who's shared their energy within these walls.

Our final weeks will be a celebration:
- Farewell sales and discounts on everything (including displays and fixtures)
- Community gatherings and readings
-One last season to stop in, say hi, and take home a piece of the magic

Though the shop is closing, The 12th House isn't gone.I'll still be around at local markets, pop-ups, and community events, continuing to share art, readings, and intention-filled goods across West Michigan.

From the bottom of my heart - thank you for being part of this journey. You helped make this weird, beautiful little queer space what it is, and I'll carry that with me always.

With love and gratitude,

SJ Cash
