Hey y’all, welcome back to my Holiday Gift Guide series! Today, I’m offering you 14 Creative Gift Ideas to Love on Your Best Friend. These gifts are a mixture of fun, creative, unique, and some classic thrown in, like these classic best friend necklaces. Give these gifs to your bestie for her birthday, as a graduation present, a moving away gift, a Christmas present, Galentine’s Day, or just ’cause ya love her and she deserves to know it. The first group of gift ideas are mostly “matching gifts.” So basically, you get one and so does she! The next section of gifts are “just for her.” All these gifts are super cute ideas to express to your bestie that you and her are go together like Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf. Or, maybe you’re more Monica Geller and Rachel Green, if Gossip Girl isn’t your thing.

Gift Ideas for You & Your Best Friend

Custom Best Friend Mugs

These customizable best friend mugs are the perfect gift to give your best friend, especially if she’s someone you don’t get to see too often! You get to choose the skin tones (light or dark) for each person on the mug, along with choosing the hairstyle and color. Then, customize the names and dates.

You definitely don’t have to buy one for yourself, but they’re cute enough you might just want to!

This is a picture of the same type of mug I was gifted when my bestie from college asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. It’s one of the sweetest gifts I’ve ever gotten and my new favorite mug.

Best Friend Necklaces

Get your bestie matching gold compass necklaces to remind her that you’re always by her side, no matter how far away she is. This gift is especially great for long distance best friends.

Friendship Collage Board

OK, yes, these don’t look very impressive on their own. BUT. This 4-pack of cork bulletin boards means you get to keep two, and give two to your bestie. Print old photos from your phone of you and your bestie, or use your Polaroid camera to take a new photoshoot with the two of you, and make a Best Friends Collage on the bulletin boards that you can both keep!

Matching PJ Sets for Sleepovers

Why would you and your best friend want matching pjs? ‘Cause honestly, they make for super cute Instagram pictures at sleepovers and girls’ nights.

My best friend and I were on a Gossip Girl kick a couple years ago, and we bought these exact pajamas so we could feel like Serena and Blair (yes, Blair does wear a fancier version of these on the show). Of course, to complete the Gossip Girl, our girls’ night also included a dozen macarons and a bottle of wine.

Customized Coordinate Necklace

Another great jewelry idea for far away friends, these customizable necklaces allow you to enter in the coordinate of where you are, and of where your best friend is. Give her the coordinates of your home so she always has you close to her heart.

Of course, you can get yourself one too, with your bestie’s coordinates.

Customized Photo Sequin Pillow Case

First of all, these sequins are wildly entertaining. There’s something so satisfying about smoothing the sequins over and over. Like bubble wrap, but more fabulous!

And the best part is, this pillow case cover is customizable so you can have a picture of you and your bestie whenever you want.

Gifts Just for Her

Book of Affirmations

Women empowering women. That’s what best friends are for, right? This book of affirmations is the perfect gift to remind your friend to remind HERSELF that she’s amazing.

Bamboo Tumbler with Tea Strainer

This bamboo tumbler is sustainable and lets your bestie steep loose leaf tea on the way to class or on her way to the office. It can also be used for coffee, or with fruit for fruit infused water. This will keep her beverage hot for 12 hours, or cold for the whole day.

Friends Makeup Bag

If you and your best friend are big fans of the TV show Friends, this makeup bag is a super cute gift idea!

Burrito Blanket

Does a burrito blanket require an explanation? I don’t think so. Errybody likes burritos, and this blanket is simultaneously quirky and oh-so-cozy.

Wine Soaps

This creative gift is great for any woman who’s a wine lover! If you’ve ever loved the scent of wine enough to bathe in it, this is for you. With scents of Chardonnay, Cabernet, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Grigio, these soaps are all-natural and vegan!

Birthday Month Candle

I love that these birthday candles are printed with a beautiful flower on the side of each candle, specific to your best friend’s birthday month. These birthday flower candles have delicious and different scents for each month and its respective flower!

Hard Seltzer Making Kit

Hard seltzer is the THING lately. It’s lower calorie, with low-to-no sugar ingredients. This DIY Hard Seltzer kit is a fun gift for any friend who enjoys a fruity, bubbly alcoholic beverage! The one is grapefruit flavored for a refreshing summer drink.

The Positive Planner

These days, I think it’s safe to say we’re all on a journey to finding more positivity. This Happiness Planner is a great tool to help center our thoughts and intentions on pursuing what makes us happy, and to help us find happiness in our everyday lives.

This planner is a guide to 12 weeks of gratitude, mindfulness, and mental well-being.
