Your best friend is the person who has heard every story, seen every bad haircut and shown up for every big moment, so her gift should feel personal. I like to give her the little luxury she keeps putting in her cart and taking back out, or something that celebrates the two of you.
Here are seven gifts for your person, from the sweetest under-$20 mug to the gold hoops she will wear every day.
1. Tube Hoops Earrings Bundle
A set of gold hoops in three sizes is the gift she will wear every single day, from brunch to the office to the airport. Mejuri’s tube hoops are simple, chic and stackable, so she can mix them however she likes.
2. Stoneware 24k Gold Accent Monogram Mug
The monogram mug is a classic best-friend gift for a reason: it is personal, pretty and she will think of you every morning. Fill it with her favorite tea or a little bag of chocolate before you wrap it.

3. Now+ Instant Camera Generation 2 Kit
Give her the camera, and then make the memories together. A Polaroid is perfect for girls’ trips, birthday dinners and the photos you want to stick on the fridge instead of leaving in your phone.
4. Vanilla Era Magnum Candle
This big, beautiful vanilla candle is the kind of luxury that makes her whole apartment smell like a hug. It burns for ages, so she will think of you for months.
5. Gisele Short Pajama Set
Eberjey’s Gisele pajamas are famous for being unbelievably soft, and they are the perfect gift for the friend who deserves a slower morning. Pick her favorite color and tuck in a face mask.

6. Elisa Pendant Necklace
Kendra Scott’s Elisa necklace is a dainty, everyday pendant that comes in lots of stones and colors, so you can pick her birthstone or her favorite shade. It is a sweet gift that feels thoughtful without being fussy.

7. Pouchette Bag
A bright little pouch is useful for everything from lipstick to chargers, and Stoney Clover’s colorful nylon pouches are a fun, cheerful pick. Add a few of her favorite things inside, and the wrapping is done.
