There’s truly no better feeling than receiving a lovely, thought-out gift from your best friend. Honestly, it’s one of the best ways to show someone how well you know and love them. That being said, sometimes it’s *really* hard to come up with an amazing gift, especially if the receiver is a great gift giver themselves.
Luckily, I have a ton of A1 selections for you to choose from for your best friends this year. If they’re into home décor and co*cktails, I suggest these cute TikTok-viral vintage coupe martini glasses. Do they love to host parties? Buy this charcuterie board for them ASAP. But if your bestie is in need of a solid massage gun, the Hyperice Pro 2 is here to save their day. There’s truly something for everyone on this list.
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.

Best For The Friend Who Loves To Read
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.
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.)
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.

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.
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.
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.

With a Stubhub gift certificate, you're setting a special someone up with access to any number of great venues. They can pick the event, from concerts and sports matches to theater shows.
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.
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!

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?
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.
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.

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...
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.
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.

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?
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.
