And a friendly reminder: You don’t have to drop a million bucks for a thoughtful gift. A ton of the picks on this list are luxurious, but won’t break the bank. Ahead, check out 55 amazing gifts for your best friend in 2023.

Uni Cozy Zip

Creative Toilet Brush with Holder

Built for cleaning toilets, this deceptive gag gift actually presents as a cool cherry with stem. It's like an art installation for your bathroom that can be used to tidy up when needed.

Natural Rose Quartz Coasters

Have you ever seen coasters this pretty? Me neither. Coming in sets of four, these babies are perfect for the friend who loves to keep things spick and span, while adding a cute color accent to their home.

PunkStar IntenScenual Eau de Parfum

This perfume is one of my favorite scents of all time. Inspired by punk and rock and roll aesthetics, it smells sweet and fruity with a hint of saffron and cedar leaves.

Waverly Maxi Dress

If you didn't hear, maxi dresses were all the rage this summer and I'm sure will be worn well into the fall. This one is ultra-flattering and I always get compliments on it when I wear it. Plus, it's reversible, so both sides of the dress can be worn in the front!

Taylor Swift Altar Candle

Every friend group has a bestie obsessed with Tay (if you can't think of one, it's you). It's safe to say that everyone should have a celeb prayer candle these days, and who better to feature than Ms. Swift?

Cowboy Boots

Yup, cowgirl boots haven't gone anywhere as a trend and can be worn in every season. For under $65, these ones are a total steal, and they're available in a ton of different colors.

Cinderose Candle

Candles are kind of the best. And this Cinderose scent will get your bestie's home smelling like the garden of their dreams with the hints of florals and fruits. Plus, they have a 50-hour burn time with a beeswax base, so no need to worry about fumes.

Emily Henry Book Collection Set ('Book Lovers,' 'Beach Read,' and 'People We Meet on Vacation')

If you haven't given your bestie an Emily Henry book yet, WYD? These fun-loving rom-coms are super easy to read. Take it from me—one of my best friends gave me Book Lovers for my last birthday, after all.

Hypervolt 2 Pro Massage Gun

I have never been so in love with a fitness gadget in my life. Whether your bestie is a hardcore gym bro or loves to go on walks, this massage gun will truly work wonders on their body. I don't go a day without using mine, even if I'm not sore. (Psst...if you want to make this present *extra* luxurious, you'll also want to buy the heated massage attachment.)

Scuffette II Slipper

From time to time, slippers get worn out. But UGG comes in clutch with these Scuffette II Slippers that are not only ultra-comfy-looking, but also stylish. I wouldn't mine rocking these around my apartment...

Nothin' But Nudes Facepalette

If bestie hasn't updated her makeup palettes since 2016—which I definitely haven't done, by the way—it might be time to get her a new eyeshadow palette. This one has 12 gorgeous neutral shades.

Cloud Comforter

I have this comforter from Buffy, and it's insanely soft. If it might be time for bestie to upgrade her sheet game, I highly recommend this sustainable sheet brand. (Each comforter keeps 50 plastic bottles out of landfills!) And of course, you can't forget to also buy a duvet cover.

Tote Bag

Because from time to time, everyone needs a reminder of just how phenomenal they are. This cute tote can carry basically anything you want, and you know your best friend will think of you each time they lay eyes on it.

Active Recharge Plunge Tank

I love my workout set from Gilly Hicks. The material is thin, breathable, and just easy to work out in without getting super sweaty from thick material.

Vintage Coupe Martini Glasses

Is it just me, or have these martini glasses been all over home decor TikTok recently? So, yes, I did buy them after seeing them a few times, and I have to say, they're so cute and make cocktail night *even* more aesthetically-pleasing.

Mulberry Silk Pillowcase

Your bestie's already gorge (obvs), but everyone's hair and skin could benefit from a double-sided silk pillowcase. Not to mention, it's luxe AF—and who deserves that more than your ride-or-die?

Zodiac Coin Embossed Necklace

Give your astrology-loving bestie the gift of keeping their zodiac sign close to heart. Get yourself a matching one, and it’ll remind them of your cosmic chemistry every time you wear them together.

Facial Cleansing Skincare Set

One thing most (if not all) humans enjoy: having a clean face. So, there's no doubt your bestie will jump for joy when you gift her this all-encompassing face cleansing kit, complete with bamboo pads, an exfoliator, a sponge, a headband, and a wash cloth. The best part? It's all washable and reusable, baby.

Hair Repair Kit

If no one's told you yet, K18 is totally worth the hype. I use the detox shampoo and repair hair mask frequently, and they're keeping my hair super healthy and strong, so...why not share the secret with your best friends too?

4.0

If your friend is interested in tracking her fitness, getting a WHOOP is a great place to start. It tracks sleep, fitness, and the wear-and-tear on your body to determine how much rest you need.

Personalized Old English Name Necklace

What's more personal than a necklace with your bestie's name on it? This is one of the most classic gifts in the book...for good reason. Your bestie will love the trendy, gold necklace that was made just for her.

Love cooking with bestie? This might be a gift for both of you, then. I can attest to CAULIPOWER's pizza crusts being delicious, tasting just like normal pizza crust, and being a fun activity to make homemade pizza together during a girls' night.

This set of five delicious-smelling bath balms comes in packaging that pays tribute to Rosa Parks, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Frida Kahlo, Amelia Earhart, and Maya Angelou (they each come with collectible magnets, too!). The brand is also committed to hiring women in recovery, those with disabilities, and people in need of a second chance.

Luxurious Sherpa Throw Blanket

This blanket is described as snuggling "with a cloud" on Amazon—so yeah, I'll be buying one for all of my best friends this holiday season (and one for myself, too).

Bottom Dispensing Tea Pot

Whether you love gossiping over tea time or you know your bestie just isn't themselves till they pour their first a.m. cup, this tea-dispensing pot is a serious game changer for any tea lover. Pair with some chai to really complete the gift.

Wavy iPhone Case

These wavy iPhone cases have been really trendy recently, so if your friend hasn't upgraded her phone case in a while, it might be time. I personally love this case because it's transparent, so it'll show the phone's color through the back.

Tabletop Fire Pit

How adorable is this little tabletop fire pit? Whether your friend wants to create ~ambience~ or just loves cooking s'mores, this is a great gift. Plus, it's portable.

Sade Hoops

A fun and flirty take on basic hoops, these earrings will be the kind of item your bestie wears every day—and they'll brag about you every time they get a compliment on them (which will be very often).

Air Max Excee Shoes

I'm definitely not putting these sneakers on this list as a sign for what my besties should get me this holiday season. But, I will say, I saw these shoes on TikTok a while back and immediately loved them.

High Waist Moto Legging

If these high-waisted leggings look familiar, it's because celebs are obsessed with them. From Cara Delevigne to Gigi Hadid and Taylor Swift, the person in your life who lives in their leggings needs to have these comfy, trendy leggings in their rotation.

Zip Up Faux Shearling Shaggy Oversized Jacket

There’s nothing better during those colder months than having an oversized sweater in which you can hide from the wind. This one is cozy on the inside and out, so it'll prob become your bestie's go-to jacket during fall and winter. It basically feels like loungewear, but looks super stylish.

Variety Pack Of Four Mini Succulents

In addition to being adorable little decorating accents for around the house, plants have also been shown to have numerous health benefits, including air purification and just making you feel good. Plus, these succulents are easy to care for, whether your bestie has a green thumb or, uh, not.

From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from Tha Boss Dogg's Kitchen

If your friend is always creating new recipes, best believe they'll adore Snoop Dogg's cookbook. I got it for my best friend for her birthday, and we were able to create memories from when we cooked a meal from it together. And, can you really say you've lived until you've read Snoop's dedication to Martha Stewart at the beginning of the book?

Book Vase

If your friend loves reading and pretty things (who doesn't?), this might be the perfect gift for them. It'll brighten up any home with cute flowers and really add to the space.

Salt Soak Body Cream Duo

Upgrade your BFF's night routine with CBD-infused bath salts and body lotion (pssst: they're vegan and cruelty-free!) blended with detoxifying and nourishing ingredients to relax, restore, and energize.

Essential Oil Diffuser

Scented candle this, scented candle that...have you ever tried using a diffuser? Just add a few drops to some water, and watch the diffuser emit mist and a wonderful smell. It's truly a 10/10 experience.

Self-Care Subscription Box

Some people just never spend money on themselves. If your bestie happens to be one of those selfless humans, this subscription box will be their monthly reminder of how much you feel they deserve some indulgence.

Fondue Kit

I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't want a fondue kit as a gift. It's perfect to host people for a party or game night, especially since you can either melt cheese or chocolate in it. Really, it's the gift that keeps giving.

Friendship Bracelet Kit

If you're up on your Taylor Swift news, you know that friendship bracelets are a popular thing to wear and trade at her Eras Tour concerts. And seeing as she's not slowing down her worldwide tour any time soon, this would make a great gift for your Swiftie friend.

Charcuterie Board and Platter Set

This charcuterie board is both gorgeous and functional. The top portion moves to reveal storage for cheese knives. IDK about you, but just looking at this picture makes my stomach growl!

Instax Mini Instant Camera

You’ve spent some unforgettable times with your BFF, but you know what makes those moments even more unforgettable? Having photographic evidence, duh. Go beyond the IG tags with cute snapshots IRL.

Self-Warming Eye Masks

If you want your friend to feel like she's in a literal spa, get these self-warming eye masks ASAP. They're self-warming and smell so good when you put them on. The eye masks try to recreate Japan's natural hot springs and they feel ah-mazing.

Retrograde Crystal Kit

This crystal kit is specifically designed to get astrology lovers through retrograde cycles. (They also happen to make for gorgeous decor.)

Fanny Pack

ICYMI, fanny packs are back in a big way—and while it may take you a sec to accept the trend, this sustainably-made vegan leather one (founded by sisters/BFFs Salima and Samara!) should convince you and your bestie to hop on the fanny-pack train.

Still not a fan? It doubles as a clutch and comes with an extra strap to be a crossbody bag, too.

Electric Air Fryer

No home chef's kitchen is complete without an air fryer nowadays. It'll seriously expand their arsenal of (crispy!) recipes. And because you were kind enough to gift this to them, they'll be inviting you over for dinner way more often.

California Wine Tour Gift Set

Got a wine-loving friend? In that case, there's no better present than a delivery of many wines inspired by a California wine tour. Reds, whites, this set has it all.

Oversized Rhinestone Sunglasses

According to Annie, you’re never fully dressed without a smile. But I'd argue that you’re never fully dressed without a pair of fabulous sunnies, and these rhinestone ones will make your BFF feel like a million bucks.

AirPods Pro, 2nd Generation

Not to be dramatic, but getting AirPods changed my life a little bit. If one of your friends still hasn't hopped on the AirPods train, buy them these. They make audio-listening experiences across Apple products *so* much easier.

Hooded Varsity Bomber Jacket

I love a good varsity bomber jacket, and this one from Good American even has a hood! It's stylish and comfy...what else could your bestie ask for?

Champagne Showers Candle

I adore this candle from FORVR Mood. It smells amazing and the sweet smell spreads all around my apartment from the second I light it. It just makes my whole space feel a *bit* more luxurious.

Bonsai Starter Kit

If your friend is looking for a hobby, point them in the direction of this cute bonsai kit! It includes seeds, holders, and a learning guide for how to raise these plants.

Blanket Scarf

Let me let you in on a little secret: This is a blanket disguised as a scarf. And I don’t know about you, but if I had the ability to secretly carry a blanket around my neck that I could easily unwrap whenever I found myself, say, in front of a fire or on a long flight, I'd take it.

Discovery Kit

ICYMI, Relevant was envisioned by beauty entrepreneur and Thirteen Lune co-founder Nyakio Grieco. Continuing her commitment to inclusive beauty and with a deep understanding of where the niche was in the market, she created Relevant, a clean, science-led skincare brand that works for all skin tones and types.

Working with top labs to ensure a diverse mix of the best chemists, Nyakio formulated each product in this gorgeous Discovery Kit with superfruits and actives in efficacious percentages to create products that truly perform.

Your bestie who is always traveling will love packing up this linen charging pad. Not only is it super chic-looking, she can charge two devices at the same time.

Airmega Aim 2-in-1 Oscillating Fan & True HEPA Air Purifier

Honestly, once you reach a certain age, house decor and supplies start to make the best gift. This fan doubles as an air purifier, and I personally love mine. With the air quality issues happening this year, you never know when one of these babies might come in handy.

Fashion Brand Makeup Wall Art

It can be hard to impress that chic BFF who somehow always seems to be Insta-ready, but this elegant wall art is definitely going to gain a spot in their home's favorite selfie spot.
