Whatever you call your best friend—bestie, ride-or-die, sister, or BFF—there's nothing like the perfect gift to demonstrate just how much you appreciate them.
Of course, gifts aren't what define your friendship (ahem, unless gift giving happens to be your love language!), but they’re an amazing way to show you care about their interests.
Is your BFF a gym rat? They would love these resistance bands. Maybe they’ve taken up cooking as a hobby—they'll brag for years about the bestie who got them an air fryer. If they love that no-makeup-makeup look, they’ll adore this Laneige lip balm.
Oh, and BTW, you don't have to spend a fortune to snag something truly special and thoughtful. Skip the gift card this year, and grab one of these 59 best gifts for your best friend in 2022—but don't forget a matching set for yourself, too.
If you and your bestie have managed to stay two peas in a pod while miles apart, this sweet gift box will put a huge smile on their face. The box includes handmade soaps, a tumbler, body butter, and a bath bomb—bonus points if you send them a bottle of wine to pair with it.

There’s nothing better during those colder months than having an oversized sweater in which you can hide from the wind. This one is cozy on the inside and out, so it'll prob become your bestie's go-to jacket during fall and winter. It basically feels like loungewear, but looks super stylish.
It's super fun giving your BFF gifts to help them keep cozy, which is why these fuzzy, cable-knit slippers from UGG are a guaranteed winner for your friend who loves nothing more than getting home and immediately changing into comfy clothes.
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.
This might be a bit of a splurge, but will you just look at that cozy plush fabric?! If anyone deserves it (and could use something to wear while marathon-ing KUWTK reruns), it's your BFF.
Have you ever seen coasters this pretty? Me neither. Coming in sets of four, these babies are perfect for the friend who loves to keep things spick and span, while adding a cute color accent to their home.
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.

Tough year? Cheer her up with this stress-relieving adult coloring book packed full of phrases like "You're a badass" and fun illustrations she can spend hours filling in. Don't forget to scoop up a set of colored pencils for her, too.
Believe it or not, these are actually acne patches. They'll laugh and lovingly think of you every time they pop one of these little beauts on a period pimple.
For your sweat-loving bestie, I present this set of resistance bands for working glutes, arms, you name it. There are three levels, so your BFF will never get bored, and...who knows? They might find a workout buddy in you from the whole ordeal.
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?
If she's always misplacing her stuff, she'll appreciate these Tile mates that she can stick on literally everything. There's one for her suitcase, one for her purse...you get the idea.
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?
What's more personal than a necklace with your besties 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.
