It’s Thursday which means it is time for another gift guide! The BFF gift guide is actually my favorite one to put together every year as I begin to think about what I’ll be gifting my best friends this year. This gift guide is chock full of things I personally own + love. I always think about this when buying gifts for my BFF…if I love it, I assume she will too ;). Nearly everything in this gift guide is under $100 and at least half is under $75 so very affordable price points.
Shop the guide:
Silk Eye Mask // Tassel Earrings // Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow Palette // Christophe Robin Purifying Sea Salt Scalp Scrub
Neon Striped Coasters // Cashmere Sleep Socks // Initial Earrings // PJ Set // Kendra Scott Crystal Earrings // Moon Juice Beauty Dust
LuMee iPhone Case // Maison Francis Kurkdjian Candle (other scents/colors here) // Cluse Gray Watch // Set of 3 Notebooks
Cuff Bracelet // UMA Pure Rest Wellness Oil
Cuyana Travel Case Set // Downtime Cookbook // AERIN Rose Body Wash // NARS Blush + Lipstick Limited Edition Duo
A few highlights:
- I want to give everyone I know this eye mask. It is the best I’ve ever tried and it works wonders on airplanes or those mornings where you need a little extra shut eye and the sun is streaming in the windows.
- For your friend who loves to accessorize, gift her this pair of glam earrings or this pair.
- Does your BFF love beauty products? Give her my favorite eyeshadows or this salt scrub that feels like a spa treatment. (The latter I gifted to my BFF as part of her gift last year because I love it that much!) Or if she loves baths, this smells heavenly.
- This candle, while on the pricier side, is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever owned. And it smells just gorgeous. For that friend of yours who loves to merchandise her living room coffee table, this is a perfect gift.
- I got these for Christmas a few years back and they remain my favorite earrings to date. I love the idea of gifting your friend their initials or even the initials of their daughter or son or significant other.
- My BFF actually owns this watch and it is so beautiful in person. It’s a great price for gifting.
- I love gifting cookbooks for friends of mine who I know roll up their sleeves in the kitchen and this cookbook was named one of the best new releases of 2017. The Amazon reviews are also all 5-star.
- Is your friend a homebody or travel a lot? These socks are absolute heaven!
- I include this travel case set every year in my guides because it is truly one of my favorite things to gift. It is so practical and can be monogrammed, too! I’ve had my set for more than four years and it has held up to many, many trips.
(By the way, several of the above gifts are from Net a Porter which I wanted to call out as the best part about ordering from them is if your BFF doesn’t live nearby their free gift boxes instantly make your gift feel more special. Just a little pro tip!)
p.s. lots of cute holiday decor + outfits here & personalized gift ideas.
These are amazing options for gifting. Thanks for sharing!
So glad you found them helpful, Yana! Thank you for the kind words!
Ooh! Love these ideas. I lost my mom this summer, and my BFF has truly been my rock this year throughout all of that, so I’ve been on the lookout for a great gift for her — thinking maybe the Cuyana cases!!
Theodora, I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. But grateful you have such a wonderful BFF that helped you when you needed her most! I absolutely love the Cuyana cases as a special gift – particularly because you can monogram them. Wishing you a very happy holiday season <3
