Birthday Gift Ideas for Best Friend

Sometimes the closer you are to someone, the harder they are to shop for—so finding a birthday gift for your best friend? It’s a lot of pressure.

You talk and text every day, and you’re fully caught up on what’s what and who’s who in her life. But when the calendar rolls nearer and nearer to her special day, you might find yourself completely blanking on what she’d actually want. Or worst yet, how to top last year’s gift, which also took you days to decide. Time to take a breath. We’re here to help you brainstorm birthday gift ideas your best friend is sure to love. Let’s think:

If you feel uneasy about splurging your budget on one pricey gift, think about purchasing a few little gifts and putting them together. A set of art supplies and a new sketchbook, or a bundle of matching accessories are both fun ways of filling out a gift bag. (Plus, it’s like getting many gifts at once! Who doesn’t love that?)

If you and your best friend already have plans to go to a concert or travel on her birthday, try looking into gifts that match up to the theme. Going museum-hopping? Try finding gifts inspired by her favorite artist. Hanging out at the beach? A set of temporary tattoos is a great activity for a small party.

Wearable Gifts for Your Best Friend:

When in doubt, you can never go wrong with accessories. Why? Because you can never have enough of them! Your best friend is full of style and interests, and chances are, she’s yearning for a little something to spice up her wardrobe. No better way to do that than with some new bling.
