The 60 Best Gifts for Best Friends of 2024

Inno Stage Insulated Tote With Bamboo Snack Tray

View On Amazon $40

Some of the best gifts for best friends allow you to create new memories together, like this picnic basket. It’s great to gift on its own, or you can take it up a notch by pairing it with a picnic blanket and filling it up with food for a best friend date in the park.

In addition to the insulated bag itself (which can also be used for camping trips, groceries, or backyard BBQs), you’ll get a small folding table that can hold a wine bottle and four glasses with room to spare for snacks.

Secura Electric Wine Opener

View On Amazon $27 View On Walmart $46

Sure, your bestie can pop a bottle open with a simple corkscrew, but a wine opener is a useful kitchen gadget that lifts the cork with little to no effort. This model from Secura is lightweight and compact, making it easy to store out of sight, but it’s also attractive enough to keep on a bar cart or kitchen counter while it charges. 

To use, simply cut the foil with the included foil cutter. Then, hold the device over the cork, press a button, and watch the opener remove the cork. The wine opener comes in six different colors, including blue, red, black, champagne gold, rose gold, and silver.

Owala FreeSip Vacuum Insulated Water Bottle

View On Amazon $25 View On Walmart $32 View On Owalalife.com

Let’s face it: We’ll never be able to constantly keep up with the trendiest water bottle of the season. But if your best friend’s water bottle has seen some better days, this pick from Owala is the perfect replacement.

You can drink through either the straw or the spout without disconnecting any pieces, giving you convenient versatility for any situation you’re in. My favorite feature is the carrying hook, which blends into the design when it’s not in use. It’s leak-proof, keeps water cold for 24 hours, and comes in three sizes and a variety of bold colors.

What Do You Meme Do You Know Me Party Game

View On Amazon

For the best friend who loves to host game nights, the Do You Know Me Party Game will be a hit. This card game will allow your group of friends to ask trivia questions about each other and see who knows each other the best. It can be played with up to eight friends at a time, and there are 350 question cards included in the game.

Monikers Wavelength

View On Amazon $32 View On Target $32 View On Macy's $36

If you and your bestie love game nights, gift Wavelength to add to your rotation. The game’s premise boils down to comparing two or more players’ opinions, making it the perfect way to create some ridiculous discussions and arguments. For example: Is an air fryer a useless or useful invention? On a scale from rough to smooth, where does cardboard land?

I’m not usually one to reach for party games, but I love to play this with my partner on evenings when we’ve simply run out of things to talk about. And as someone who can never understand the rules on the first try, I found it super easy to learn.

Longjet Sunglasses Organizer

View On Amazon $24

For recipients who travel often or are always losing their sunglasses in the depths of their bag, this sunglasses organizer is a great gift. The case fits up to five pairs of sunglasses and folds into a compact hexagonal box that can fit in a suitcase, bag, or glove compartment. When unrolled, the case can hang to display their accessories.

Amazon Kindle

View On Amazon $100 View On Target $100 View On Best Buy $100

If your best friend flies through novels like nobody’s business, they’ll love to receive a Kindle. I recently joined the e-book train, and I can’t say enough good things about it. At just 6.2 x 4.3 inches, it’s easier and lighter to carry than a physical book. My favorite part is the convenience of switching between multiple books at once and finding my next read within minutes of finishing my last.

The Kindle has a backlight for reading in the dark and is glare-free for reading outdoors. And if your friend is known for always forgetting their charger, a single charge lasts up to six weeks.

Apple AirTag 4-Pack

View On Amazon $79 View On Target $100 View On Walmart $79

We all have that friend who’s always running late because they lost their keys (it’s me, hi!). Help them out by gifting them a set of Apple Airtags to keep track of their commonly misplaced essentials. 

These have changed my life when it comes to getting out the door. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve used them just to find my keys under piles of mail in my apartment. Simply attach the device to your item of choice—I keep mine on my keys, wallet, luggage, and car—and use your phone to track down its location. Plus, you can set them up to notify your phone if you leave your valuables behind, so you won’t get too far before realizing they’re gone.

The Comfy Oversized Microfiber & Sherpa Wearable Blanket

View On Amazon $50

The best gifts for best friends are the ones they’ll use over and over. And if your friend is anything like me, they’ll wear The Comfy any chance they can. It’s a cross between a blanket and an oversized sweatshirt, making it the most comfortable, cozy thing to wear on a night in. 

As someone who’s always cold, I love to curl up and fold my legs into this when I’m working from home, watching a movie, or reading in bed. While it’s machine washable, my washer has a hard time handling the weight of it, so it’s best for those who aren’t prone to spilling on their clothes. It comes in 19 different colors and styles, so you can tailor your choice to your friend’s personal style.

Therabody Theragun Mini

View On Amazon $169 View On Target $200 View On Best Buy $199

This handheld massage gun is the perfect gift if your best friend is always sore from leg day. At only 8 x 6 x 2 inches and 1 pound, it’s small enough to fit in a gym bag or purse. Plus, it comes with its own carrying case.

The device has three attachments and three speeds to work out knots of all sizes. You can also connect it to the Therabody app via Bluetooth to receive guided routines.

Fun Studio Personalized Acrylic Song with Photo Album Cover

View On Amazon $14

If you both have a song you love to sing or dance to together, your best friend will love the FunStudio Custom Acrylic Album Cover. You can customize the acrylic plaque with you and your bestie’s favorite song title and a scannable code. When the code is scanned using a phone, it will automatically pull up the song on Spotify.

Uncommon Goods Hidden Pocket Scrunchies

View On Uncommon Goods

Your best friend will appreciate the Uncommon Goods Hidden Pocket Scrunchies for traveling, attending a concert, or even just running errands. Not only can the scrunchies be used in hair, but it also features a secret zippered compartment that can hold cash, keys, jewelry, and more. It’s the perfect solution if your bestie frequently wears outfits without pockets.

Le Creuset Shallow Round Oven

View On Amazon $290 View On Williams-Sonoma $290 View On Lecreuset.com

If your friend loves to cook, the Le Creuset Shallow Round Oven is a gift they’ll cherish for years to come. While this is the brand’s most affordable cast iron Dutch oven, it doesn’t skimp on quality, providing even heating and retention. The shallow sides make it great for casseroles, mac and cheese, sauce, and more.

Because it comes in 13 gorgeous colors, it’s attractive enough to serve straight to the table, making it a perfect gift for hosts.

Anthropologie Scrabble Game

View On Anthropologie

The Anthropologie Scrabble Game is an aesthetically pleasing version of the classic word game. With hues of yellow, green, and pink, your best friend will love pulling out this board game for game night. The game includes all the essentials like letter tiles, wood tile racks, and a fabric pouch, and we love that the board can easily rotate.

HONEYCATus Matching Butterfly Necklace Duo

View On Etsy $46

One of the best gifts for best friends is a matching piece of jewelry. This dainty butterfly necklace duo is a sophisticated version of the childhood BFF bracelets we all rocked in elementary school. It comes with two necklaces—one for you and one for your bestie—each a separate half of a butterfly. The matching set comes in gold, rose gold, and silver, and the chain is adjustable between 14 and 17 inches.

Our Place Pleat Trivet

View On Fromourplace.com

This trivet is a gorgeous and functional addition to any kitchen, making it the perfect gift for friends who love to cook. The stoneware is heavy (2.13 pounds) and durable to protect counters and tables from hot cookware. And with a 10-inch diameter, it’s big enough to fit under most pots and pans. 

The pleated sunburst design comes in three different colors—lavender, chickpea, and blue salt—and is attractive enough to display on the counter between uses.

OurCaliHome Birth Flower Bookmark

View On Etsy $14

If your friend is constantly using paper scraps and crumpled receipts to mark their pages, a personalized bookmark is a great gift. You can customize this handmade felt bookmark to include your recipient's birth flower, initial, and even scent. Keep in mind, the tassel colors are picked at random, so you'll want to make sure your friend will be happy with all the color options available.

Mossio 7-Piece Set Packing Cubes

View On Amazon $16

If you’ve got an upcoming girl’s trip, a set of packing cubes is one of the best gifts to give. Alongside keeping clothes, shoes, and toiletries organized, packing cubes provide extra room in your luggage through a bit of compression. 

This set from Mossio includes three packing cubes, a shoe bag, and three laundry pouches to keep dirty clothes separate. Plus, it comes in six fun designs, which helps the cubes stand out on a group trip.

Capri Blue Volcano Mercury Glass Jar Candle

View On Anthropologie $16

Candles may seem like a basic choice, but I consider this one the ultimate gift. I’ve given (and received) this candle dozens of times, and I’ve yet to find someone who doesn’t love the fresh and fruity scent. Plus, this fan-favorite has an 85-hour burn time—enough for multiple cozy nights in.

Cozy Earth Long Sleeve Bamboo Pajamas

View On Nordstrom $195 View On Cozy Earth View On Macy's $195

You can never go wrong with gifting a set of soft, cozy pajamas. This set from Cozy Earth, which also makes some of our favorite bamboo sheets, is made with bamboo and spandex, making them stretchy, breathable, and moisture-wicking. Sizes range from XS to XXXL and come in regular and tall lengths. There are 14 colors to choose from, so you can find the perfect option for your best friend whether they prefer light neutrals or deep shades.

Baggu Nylon Crescent Bag

View On Shopbop.com $52 View On Urban Outfitters $52 View On Baggu.com

You may know Baggu for its adorably-patterned reusable grocery bags, but the brand recently changed the crossbody game with its medium crescent bag. It has the hands-free convenience of a fanny pack with the capacity of a small tote bag, making it perfect for running errands or sightseeing. It’ll easily hold your everyday basics plus a water bottle, hat, book, snacks, and more. The bag is made from recycled, machine-washable nylon and it has a 37-inch adjustable strap for a custom fit.

Nekteck Shiatsu Foot Massager Machine

View On Amazon $90 View On Walmart $80 View On Newegg.com $90

Whether your best friend is on their feet all day or just needs an at-home spa day, a foot massager is a perfect gift. This model from NekTeck has two adjustable air compression settings, three kneading modes, and a heat setting to help circulate blood flow and massage the feet. 

The massager fits feet up to a size 11. Plus, the foot covers are detachable, so you can wash them separately to keep clean.

Yeti Rambler 20 oz. Travel Mug

View On Amazon $38 View On Yeti.com View On Basspro.com

For friends who are always on the go, there’s no better gift than a high-quality tumbler to keep their cold drinks cold and their hot drinks hot all day long. We tested the best travel coffee mugs, and the Yeti Rambler was one of the top performers.

The tumbler has a twist top that seals tightly, and it’s easy to use and carry with one hand. We loved that it’s dishwasher safe and that the lid and slider you use to drink out can be separated for deep cleaning.

Hearth & Hand with Magnolia Wood Cookbook Holder

View On Target $20

Help your friend follow their favorite recipes with this wooden cookbook holder. Its metal ledge keeps the book open to the page they need, and its slanted design makes it easy to read the recipe. The classic wood design is simple and attractive, perfect for displaying their favorite cookbook on the counter at all times. It’s also a great spot to place a phone or tablet if you’re following an online recipe. 

Gorilla Grip Extra Thick Kneeling Pad

View On Amazon $19 View On Gorillagrip.com

Long days in the garden can be hard on your knees, so a high-quality kneeling pad is the perfect gift for gardeners. This one from Gorilla Grip has 1.5 inches of high-density foam. At 17.5 x 11 inches, it’s wide enough to allow you to garden without adjusting the pad at every movement.

The pad is dirt and water-resistant (a must for gardening) and easy to clean. Plus, it comes in 10 colors to match your best friend’s favorite color or other gardening supplies.

Sweet Alice Gravity Electric Pepper & Salt Grinder Set

View On Amazon $24

For the best friend who loves kitchen gadgets, this is the perfect gift they’ll actually use. Instead of using two hands to grind fresh salt and pepper, this device can be used in one hand. Simply flip over the grinder and watch as it automatically grinds your salt and pepper to the coarseness of your choosing.

My mom bought these for herself, and while I initially thought they were a gimmick, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed using them. They’re great for people with limited mobility (though they require six AAA batteries each, which makes them fairly heavy), but anyone can appreciate the added convenience.

Better Homes & Gardens Cozy Knit Throw

View On Walmart $25

Whether it's for a work bestie who's always chilly in the office or for your best friend who's happiest curled up on the couch, you can't go wrong with gifting a soft throw blanket.

And if your giftee is prone to spills, the blanket is machine washable for easy cleaning.

Make sure your best friend’s devices are always at full charge by gifting them a wireless charging station. This device includes spots to wirelessly charge a phone, Apple Watch, and AirPods, plus a built-in light, alarm clock, and a spot for an extra cord. It comes in four colors: white, pure white, gray, and green.

I keep a wireless charging station on my nightstand, and it’s the only way I remember to charge my Apple Watch before bed. I also love that it eliminates the need for multiple messy cords and extension cords to plug all my devices into.

Brooklinen Super-Plush Robe

View On Amazon $99 View On Brooklinen

Some of the best gifts for best friends lean into comfort, like this plush robe from Brooklinen. You may have heard of the brand from its viral sheet sets, so it only makes sense that Brooklinen’s high-quality cozy products have moved beyond the bedroom.

This bathrobe is made of combed, long-staple Turkish cotton, which feels soft and luxurious on your skin. It has wide sleeves and cuffs, alongside pockets and an adjustable strap. The sizes range from XS to XL. You can choose from five standard colors, as well as a few limited-edition swatches.

If your best friend runs on caffeine, help them get their fix at home with this cold brew maker. It’s super easy to use: Just fill the filter with coffee grounds and pour water up to the fill line. Then, leave the cold brew to extract for 12 to 24 hours before drinking. The pitcher holds six cups of cold brew, so you can make a single batch to last the work week.

When cold brew was my coffee of choice, I used this pitcher all the time and never found the taste bitter. The stainless steel cap seals the drink well, and the entire pitcher and filter are easy to wash.

View On Amazon $40

If your best friend loves to host, consider gifting an all-in-one charcuterie board set. This pick comes with a bamboo cheese board, fruit tray, two ceramic bowls, four cheese knives, a magnetic knife holder, and six serving picks.

The board is 17 x 13 x 1 inches, so it can be filled for any size of event, whether it’s date night or a family gathering. The precut grooves are helpful for adding loose snacks like nuts or the sauce bowls, but they can limit the charcuterie design if your giftee prefers to have a blank slate.

Whether your friend loves to indulge in self-care or has a goal to practice mindfulness in the new year, this daily gratitude journal makes a great gift.

Apple AirPods Max

View On Amazon $480 View On Target $549 View On Walmart $619

If you’re looking to splurge, the Apple Airpod Max is one of the best gifts for best friends. It has a high price tag, but if your friend already uses Apple products, it’s one of the best over-the-ear headphones to get. 

After spending a year asking my friends and family if I should buy these, I received a pair as a gift, and I’ve worn them almost every day since. The spatial audio experience immerses me in any album I’m listening to and the noise-canceling feature blocks out any distractions while I’m working. The transparency mode also gives me peace of mind when I’m on a walk or traveling in a new area since it lets me hear all my surroundings.

I recently gifted Mejuri jewelry, and I was impressed with the quality for the price, especially compared to other fine jewelry. However, the pieces come wrapped in cloth bags with no gift box, so you’ll want to pick up your own box for gifting.

Upgrade your best friend’s favorite cheap wine with this aerator from Vintorio. The spout fits into any wine bottle and aerates as you pour, providing a smoother, richer finish. It’s easy to rinse the aerator with water in between uses, but the spout and tube also separate for deep cleaning.

If your best friend still heats up water in the microwave or on the stove, an electric kettle is the perfect gift. This model from Bodum is super easy to use—just fill it with water and flip the switch to get it started. A simple red light indicates when the water is heating and when it’s ready to use.

Its sleek matte black design doesn’t take up a ton of counter space, and it’s super lightweight for stowing away when not in use. The cork handle and knob protect hands from the heat so your friend won’t accidentally get burned.

Marycele Candle Warmer Lamp

View On Amazon $30

Candles create a relaxing, cozy atmosphere, but they can also be a fire hazard—especially in homes with pets or children. This candle warmer melts candle wax without fire, releasing the aromas without an open flame. This pick can be adjusted between four brightness settings and there are three auto-off timers for extra safety.

The wooden base offers a spot to rest the candle and the glass shade adds a vintage touch to your recipient's decor. Just keep in mind, there are only 5.6 inches between the base and the bottom of the vase so larger candles may not fit under the light.

Crock-Pot Lunch Crock Food Warmer

View On Amazon $36 View On Walmart $33 View On Kohls.com $40

Shopping for your work bestie? Consider this electric lunch box from Crock-Pot. We tested the lunch warmer and found its double lid system kept food contained and the exterior coating prevented the warmer from feeling hot to the touch. In addition to keeping lunches warm, it's a great gift for hosts for serving hot dips.
