40 Best-Friend Gifts Worthy of Your Favorite Person
Your friendship may be priceless—but a gift can’t hurt
Best friend gifts show exactly how well you know your number one—and there are only a few days to secure a Christmas present that your closest confidant will adore. Luxury jewelry or sweet snacks, designer tote bags or sought-after clothing, perfume or candles—plenty of prezzies can show your deep appreciation and eternal bond. Or, those cult beauty buys and life-changing Amazon gifts you know they can't live without.
According to potter and designer Jonathan Adler, it’s all about the personal touch. “Start by thinking about their personal brand—and yes, these days, everyone’s a brand,” Adler advised. “Are they a fab fashionista who’s into tea? A haute hippie who can’t get enough games? A preppy prince who’s always sipping a G&T? Give them the best, most outré version of whatever they’re interested in.”
We also love a sentimental or personalized gift, from a customized fragrance to a darling take-me-home set for their newborn. Alternatively, a shared experience between you and your best friend can strengthen and celebrate your bond. Think of a bottle of their go-to spirit or a set of champagne coup glasses for imbibing together—don't forget the charcuterie spread with a gorgeous cheese knife set. To really spoil them, how about a getaway vacation together? Honestly, who better to jet-set with?
Ahead, discover 40 best-friend gifts to get your holiday wheels spinning, from under-$20 and under-$100 gifts to truly luxurious indulgences. The latest you can choose a best-friend gift as special as your bond in time for Christmas is December 20.
