Are you wondering what gifts to buy your friends this holiday season? We can relate. How to find the perfect present for the person who you rant to over glasses of Sauv Blanc and helps you organize your impulse purchases into keeps and throw-aways? Choosing the best gifts for your best friends is tricky — because, while you’ll talk to them at length about anything under the sun, you don’t want to ruin the holiday surprise by straight-up asking your BFF what they want for Christmas this year. You have to be able to read their mind like they read yours, obviously.
Are you lucky enough to have a ride-or-die best-bud who’s by your side as you cue up that Mariah Carey album, bookmark wreath-making tutorials on Pinterest, and make an exhaustive gift list as the holiday approach? Don’t worry, friend — we’ll take it from here. From long-awaited Swiftie swag to a bedside lamp in the shape of their favorite snack (we’re talking baked goods, not Harry Styles), we found 29 gifts that say “ILYSM” to your best pal ahead — because maybe you and this person do share a brain after all.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
