Are you wondering what gift to buy your bestie this Christmas? We can relate. How to find the perfect present for the person who you rant to over glasses of Sauv Blanc and who helps you organise your impulse purchases into keeps and throwaways? Choosing the best gift for your best friend is tricky because, while you’ll talk to them at length about anything under the sun, you don’t want to ruin the festive surprise by straight-up asking what they want for Christmas this year. You have to be able to read their mind (just like they read yours, obviously). Maybe your sister is your bestie? Or you and your housemate are thick as thieves? The stakes are just that tad higher.

Don’t worry, friend – we’ll take it from here. Ahead, we’ve found gifts for all budgets that say “ILYSM” to your best pal, whoever they may be.

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 us. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy or click on something we link to on our site, we may earn a commission.
