What to buy to your best friend for her birthday

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.
