Your best friends will definitely be the life of the party with this sophisticated cocktail machine.
2. Picnic backpack
This picnic-to-go backpack is one of my favourite unique gifts for best friends!
It thought of everything – a wine bottle pouch, a picnic blanket strap, and pockets for all the plates, cutlery and glasses your best friends need to have the best picnic ever!
I’m sure you’ll be the first person invited to their next picnic if you get them this gift!
3. Bath bomb set
Your best friends will love these handcrafted and relaxing bath bombs that are ready for gifting!

Pamper your best friends with the two most popular face masks of this year – the Fresh Rose Face Mask and the Glow Recipe Sleeping Mask.

They’re like walking on the softest and warmest cloud.
6. Funny wine glasses
Make wine nights even more entertaining with these funny wine glasses!
7. Dyson blow dryer
This Dyson blow dryer is INCREDIBLE!
It cuts down drying time considerably and is so much healthier on your hair in the long run.
If it’s too expensive, consider going in on a group gift with your other best friends!
8. Fujifilm Instax Mini Smartphone Printer
My boyfriend actually has one of these and I thought it was the coolest thing!
The Fujifilm Instax mini lets your best friends print cute polaroids straight from their smartphones!
No special polaroid camera is needed (and you have more than one try to get the picture right!)
9. Matt & Nat vegan leather backpack
Here in Canada, you’d be hard-pressed to find a girl without a Matt & Nat bag. That’s how trendy these are!
The Brave backpack and the mini version are the most popular styles, but there’s a bunch of other backpacks, purses, and duffels to choose from in a variety of beautiful colors!
10. Colourpop palette
Colourpop palettes are affordable, have an incredible color payoff, and come in the CUTEST packaging ever!
They have done a bunch of collabs, so you’re bound to find a palette that matches your best friends’ tastes.
I got my best friend the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon palette because we were OBSESSED with the show as kids (and the holographic packaging was honestly the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!)
11. Blundstones
Blundstone makes boots for guys and girls and they’re honestly the most trendy and comfy boot ever!
They automatically dress up any outfit and will make your best friends look instantly put together.
12. Panama hat
This panama hat works on everyone and elevates any outfit!

13. Perfume
Replenish your best friend’s signature fragrance (best friends points to you if you know what it is lol) or get one of the above best-selling fragrances that she’s sure to love!
14. Pearl hair accessories
Pearl headbands and big pearl hair clips are all the rage right now!
I got my best friend the pearl headbands and I have the pearl clips.
These sets are an amazing value and are backed with thousands of positive reviews (including ours!)
15. AirPods
Give your best friends the gift of great-sounding music!
They can use them when they’re commuting, running, working, studying or just chilling.
16. Yeti travel mug
Whether your best friend is a coffee or tea drinker (or they can put wine in it I’m not judging!) – this Yeti travel mug is unmatched in terms of quality and keeping their drink’s temperature.
I have the teal one above, but it also comes in so many more cute colours!
17. Revlon hair dryer brush
If the Dyson hair dryer or Dyson airwrap styler are out of your price range, this Revlon hair dryer brush is an amazing and more affordable alternative.
18. The quick flick – eyeliner stamp
Do your best friends spend forever trying to get the perfect winged liner?
Give them the gift of time by expediting that process with this easy and amazing eyeliner stamp!
19. Raybans
Arguably the best and trendiest sunglasses on the market!
The Erika Rayban sunglasses are by far the most popular, but there are so many other styles and colors to choose from.
20. Funko! pops
There are an endless amount of Funko pops that exist!
If one of the above isn’t a winner (which I mean how can they not be they’re so cute!), then search Funko pop + something your best friend loves on Amazon and you’re sure to find the perfect gift!
21. Lululemon aligns
If I could only pick one item to wear for the rest of my life from Lululemon, it would be the Align Pant!
The softness, quality and the way it makes your butt look AMAZING is unmatched in any other legging out there.
They come in dozens of core and seasonal colors and are available in 17″, 21″, 23″, 25″, 28″, & 31″ lengths.
The Align joggers are also amazing as gifts for best friends!
22. Home manicure set
Does your best friend love gel nails?
What about nail extensions?
How about just a traditional nail polish set?
Whatever their preference, the sets above are the highest rated in each category and they’re sure to be stoked to receive them!
23. Apple Watch
Another product that needs no introduction.
Seriously, every person I know that has an Apple watch loves it, so I’m sure your best friends will too!
24. Colouring book & prismacolour pencils
The Secret Garden adult coloring book and these prismacolor pencils rock!
Both my mom and I have them and it’s so relaxing to color in all these beautiful pages.
25. Nespresso coffee machine
Who doesn’t love coffee!?
Give your best friends the gift of AMAZING coffee every morning!
The Nespresso my boyfriend has (first pic) is great for limited counter space and uses the original Nespresso pods.
The Nespresso I have (second pic) is slightly larger, has a bit more water and capsule ejection storage capacity, and uses the newer Vertuo capsules.
Both machines are available as a set with an aeroccino (which is just Nespresso’s fancy term for a milk frothier).
I’d recommend going with the set since that’ll allow your best friends to make cappuccinos and lattes with the aeroccino.
It’s also cheaper as a bundle than buying each component separately.
26. The five minute journal
I got this journal for my mom for her birthday and she has said nothing but amazing things about it!
It has awesome reviews on Amazon and will help guide your best friends through personal journaling every day.
27. Initials necklace
This initials necklace is a phenomenal personalized gift for best friends!
It’s also an affordable dupe to the very popular (but very expensive) Bracha necklace.
28. Cute PJ set
Seriously though, how cute and comfy do these PJ sets look!?
29. Silk eye mask
Give the gift of a luxurious night’s sleep with this trending pure silk sleep mask.

30. Amazing smelling candles
This candle set is super highly rated on Amazon, comes in beautiful reusable tins and is all ready for gifting (comes with a box and card).
Choose from any state in these homesick candles that embody the scents of home.
If your best friend has moved away, bring them a little piece of home no matter where they are now.
These Voluspa candles are the fanciest candles of the bunch, but are well worth it.
The quality, selection of scents, and beautiful design make this my go-to for my best friends (and myself lol).
31. Tall Hunter boots
Practical and stylish!
These tall Hunter boots are super popular and come in so many colours!
32. Punny mugs
Get one of the mugs above if you think your best friends will love them or browse Amazon for more punny mug options!
33. Fuzzy sweater
Cute and cuddly – these sweaters are my go-to gifts for best friends!
34. Sweet framed picture
You can never go wrong with a cute picture and a sweet frame!
35. Popular book
Grab a popular novel (like Becoming by Michelle Obama) or a poetry book (like the sun and her flowers by Rupi Kaur) for your best friends to enjoy when they’re traveling or relaxing.
36. Cozy winter hat
A warm and trendy winter hat (or as us Canadians like to call it – a toque) is a great gift that your best friends will appreciate every cold day of the year.
37. Lip smackers lip balm set
Lip smackers were the coolest lip balms back when I was a kid!
They would be fun throwback gifts for best friends who would also get nostalgic about them.
