Gifts are one of our favorite love languages with friends, especially when it comes to treating those we love to things that we know they’ll love. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, a holiday or giving them a little something just because (honestly, one of our favorite reasons!), we collected some of the best gifts for your best friend.
When it comes to gifting, what matters most is that you select something personal—what speaks to their hobbies, lifestyles and passions? What’s something that’s special and useful?
“Gifts are a way to celebrate, honor, and recognize that you’re grateful for your friends. My favorite tip for coming up with the perfect gift for your best friend is to think about the small things that get them excited,” says Leah Inman, creator of Leah’s Gift Guide. “It doesn’t have to be elaborate! As long as it’s thoughtful, they are going to love it.”
Our picks span a range of price points (we kept most of our selections below $100) and interests, whether they love to spend time in the kitchen or they love to enjoy food without having to spend much time in the kitchen, whether they have an artistic side or they want to kick up their heels and unwind.
