Celebrate Friendship with Gift Ideas for your Best Friend

Nobody knows your best friend as well as you do, so no matter how many glorious gift ideas you read about, only you will know what they'll truly love to unwrap. That being said, not everybody's best friend is easy to buy for, and for those notoriously picky pals, the more generic gifting route might be worth exploring.

If it's an occasion worth celebrating, a bunch of flowers is a simple but pleasant present choice, guaranteed to brighten their space and give them a boost. Our dried flowers are a great eco-friendly alternative to fresh flowers as they last much longer. They come in a huge variety of colours, sizes, and flower types, to ensure you find an arrangement they'll adore. They'll also arrive at their door wrapped in paper with the stems tied with ribbon or jute string, saving you from having to do any wrapping!

Candles and chocolate usually follow suit with easy but enjoyable gift options for friends, but if you're looking for something to really signify your friendship, a framed photo encapsulating your bond will never go unappreciated. Our Personalised Celestial Ceramic Photo Frame allows you to write your own meaningful message among the sweet celestial details and makes the perfect piece to remind them of you every day.

If you're unsure what your friend would truly love, sometimes reaching out a little further to other friends or close family members can help. They can guide you in the right direction based on what your friend already has, what they've wished for, or what they'd never splurge on themselves. If you're looking for a gift to signify the value they bring to your life, our Pearl Two Peas in a Pod Necklace is a sweet, stylish piece that conveys a message of love and adoration for that special friend.

Another route you may follow is a useful gift for the more practically-minded pal. A decorative piece like our Ceramic Little Book of Flowers Vase is perfect for displaying their favourite blooms or just sitting pretty on their shelf, particularly if they're bonkers about books. If they're a glutton for organisation and love a sweet storage solution, our Personalised Quilted Velvet Mini Round Travel Jewellery Case features their own initial in gold foil and makes a wonderfully colourful gift they'll want to put to use straight away.

Many superhero friends are highly likely to put themselves last when it comes to a little treat. If they've done more for you than you can even thank them for or you know they're extremely deserving of a pick-me-up present, a tasty bottle of gin could be ideal for lifting their spirits or just saying ‘thank you for being you’. Our Name Gin comes personalised with a name of your choice and your own message printed on the label, meaning you can say it all while saying nothing at all.

One of the biggest gifting occasions for best friends is a birthday. Birthdays are the perfect time to share your appreciation for a fab friend and remind them just how glad you are that they came into the world many moons ago on that very day. Milestone birthdays are even more of an excuse to spoil them rotten, as the older you get, the less frequently they come around.

While birthstone gifts are a traditional way to tailor a birthday gift to the recipient, birth flowers are becoming even more popular. If your friend isn't big on colourful accessories but they love a sleek silver or gorgeous gold, they'll love the sweet simplicity of our Birth Flower Stud Earrings. Want to level up this gift? Why not add a trinket tray such as our Beautiful Day Square Trinket Dish. They can store their new earrings - as well as other prized pieces - in this sweet ceramic tray, and be reminded of a special birthday to remember every time they glance at the ‘have a beautiful day’ messaging.

If they're not really into ‘stuff’ and they live a more minimalist life, aiming for an experience gift is a great way to make them feel special for a day. There are many activities you can do with a friend to celebrate their special day that won't cost the earth. If they love a good get-together with all of their friends, why not arrange a prosecco-popping party or an intimate dinner date? Relaxing spa days, picnics at the beach or strolls in the park are always a winner too, as quality time spent with their bestie is likely one of the best gifts they could receive. 

You can't put a price on good friendship, and the same goes for a truly magnicifent present. If thought, care, and boundless love has gone into the selection of a special gift, they're bound to cherish it. It 's not always practical to stray from a budget, however, and while you'd likely love to spoil your brilliant bestie, you may be at a juncture in your life where you need to be a little more sensible with your spends.

If it's a huge occasion worthy of gifting something standout, a big, beautiful piece can make them feel as special as the occasion you're celebrating. Whether it's a big birthday, an engagement, a graduation, or any other significant achievement, a beautiful homeware gift like our dried flower bouquets will remind them just how proud you are to call them your friend. Our Personalised Token Dried Flower Bouquet comes with a small wooden disc attached to the stems by velvet ribbon. This disc will be engraved by our in-house team with your own special message, giving them something big to display in the home as well as something small and sentimental they can tuck away and treasure. 

Not set on a small budget but still looking for a treat that won't break the bank? A pretty personalised piece they can carry with them wherever they go is always a winner. Our Small Green Wavy Lines Wash Bag is a quirky accessory most fashionista friends will love, and the personalised option means you can even add their initials in gold foil to make this pretty, practical piece even more personal.

For something small but super sweet, our wonderful range of matchbox tokens offer the perfect treasurable trinket to convey a very specific message. Have a friend who is an all-round ‘good egg’? Snap up a steal with the Tiny Matchbox Ceramic Egg Token, guaranteed to make them smile.

If there's no specific occasion or you're looking for a purse-friendly piece to make them smile, a token treat can be just what you need. After all, it's always the thought that counts above all else, and they'll know how much effort was put into their gift the moment they tear off the paper.

A sweet homeware piece with added sentiment will never go amiss with those friends who are mad about home decorations with emotional depth. Our Favourite Person Ceramic Heart Coaster conveys the most beautiful message of appreciation, letting that friend know that they're loved and treasured beyond belief. Whether they choose to display it proudly on a shelf or mantel, or actually use it to hold their drink of choice, they'll be reminded of your friendship every day. 

Prefer to write your thoughts down rather than say them out loud? A sweet greetings card such as this Ohh Deer You're All Kinds of Awesome Card tells them how special they are as soon as they remove it from the envelope. You can continue this meaningful message by adding your own inside, sharing your appreciation for having that fantastic friend in your life. 

If they're an avid collector of timeless trinkets, they'll adore a compact mirror. Portable, practical, and oh-so-pretty, our pocket-sized mirrors can slip straight into a handbag or pocket for effortless face checks while on the go. With a wide variety of cover designs to choose from, you can ensure your bestie has a compact to suit them and their unique style. And for a solely decorative accessory, our Enamel Daisy Keyring is a pretty piece to add to their bag handle or keys to bring a little floral sunshine to their everyday.
