10 Best Christmas Gifts For Best Friends That Will Impress Them

December 2022

The holidays are all about giving, and that's especially true with friends. You know your best friend inside and out—you get them, love them, and want to show them just how much they mean to you! I've put together this list of ten gifts to make any best friend squeal with joy. Whether it be something silly or severe, these gifts will surely give them a good laugh this holiday season.

1. A DIY gift

You need to think outside of the box when it comes to the best Christmas gifts for your best friend. We all know that gift cards and generic store-bought items are dull and unimaginative, but let’s face it: things like this can be helpful because they’re easy to buy—and let’s face it again, with family members who have their interests and hobbies, buying them something specific might feel awkward. So when in doubt about what to get for the people on your list who don’t have a ton of hobbies or interests outside of their friendship with you? Look no further than this guide!

The first thing we suggest is DIY gifts. They're cheap as heck (you probably already have everything necessary) and super easy to make. You can also tailor one specifically for your friend, so there's no chance they'll end up with something lame or generic—plus, it shows how much thought went into finding something unique just for them!

There's no wrong way when making these types of presents either; think outside the box when choosing materials because even something as simple as colored construction paper folded over itself into an origami heart would make an excellent present if it came from someone close enough not only during this holiday season but throughout several other seasons throughout ones' life together as well).

2. Personalized jewelry

Personalized jewelry is a great gift to give your best friend. You can customize a necklace, bracelet, or ring and add any words you want. Some ideas include the words “best friends” or the initials of your friend's name in an elegant font. The cost of personalized jewelry depends on how much customization you want. Still, it generally starts at around $20 for a small piece of jewelry with up to four characters engraved on it. You'll also need to find a reputable jeweler who offers this service to ensure the quality will be high enough for your best friend!

If you're looking for thoughtful Christmas present ideas that don't break the bank (and if you're reading this article, chances are good, that's what we assume), look no further than our list below!

3 Friendship bracelets

Friendship bracelets are the perfect gift for your best friend. They're classic, inexpensive, and easy to make. Plus, you can customize them with beads or charms that remind you of your friend. You could even make one for yourself and another for your best friend!

4. Customized mug

This is a thoughtful gift for your best friend. You can personalize it with her name, photo, and message, so she always remembers what she means to you. It can be used as a coffee mug or water bottle, and it’s stylish enough that she could take it anywhere.

You can also use this as a gift box for any other small item you want to give your bestie!

5. A cute notebook or journal

A journal is an excellent gift for someone who likes to write. It's easy to get lost in daily life, but a journal is a great way to express yourself and keep track of your thoughts and feelings. You can use it to write down your goals or ideas for projects or hobbies. You can even use it as an outlet for any emotions that bother you—journaling helps with stress relief!

A cute notebook or journal will be cherished by any best friend who uses it regularly, so they'll love this heartfelt Christmas present!

6. A custom phone case

It’s essential to find a case that fits their phone but also one they can carry around without being too bulky. To avoid getting a dud gift, ensure the case has an excellent design and good grip.

If you want to go the extra mile, you could even get them their artwork on the case, so they feel special and unique.

Suppose your best friend happens to be an iPhone user or someone who uses another famous phone brand (Samsung Galaxy S8). In that case, plenty of options are available online – either from places like Amazon or the manufacturer!

7. A cute piece of clothing that they can wear forever

A shirt, a hat, a cozy hoodie—clothing is always a great gift because it can be personalized and worn forever.

Clothing is one of the most versatile gifts you can give. A cute piece of clothing that your friend can wear for years will never go out of style and will put a smile on their face every time they put it on!

8. An experience gift, like tickets to a show or game, or event you both want to go to

An experience gift is a great way to celebrate your friendship. By giving your best friend tickets to an event, you can share an experience and make memories that will last forever.

Some examples of experience gifts are:

Tickets to a concert or play
Tickets to a sporting event (like basketball, football, or baseball)
A theater ticket or movie ticket

9. A subscription to their favorite things like movie tickets, magazines, coffee, etc.

A subscription to their favorite things is an excellent way to show them that you pay attention and care about what they like. The best part is that subscriptions can be customized to their tastes. For example, if your best friend likes movies and books, you could sign them up for the Entertainment Pass by MoviePass or Audible's Gold membership. These companies offer memberships that allow users to see any movie at any theater (or listen to an audiobook) once per day each month for a monthly fee. Alternatively, if your friends are into coffee or tea, consider signing them up for a subscription from Craft Coffee or Teavana—both companies send out boxes of curated coffee beans or teas every other week with detailed tasting notes—it's like getting presents in the mail!

These subscriptions range from $15 to $50 per month, depending on how many items need shipping and when they arrive at your doorstep!

10. Something silly and fun that you know they'll love but might not get for themselves

You're looking for something they would enjoy, use and not buy themselves.

A silly gift is an excellent way to go, but you don't want to get something too expensive or expensive enough that it feels like an obligation on your part. The line between fun and awkward can be thin, so tread carefully when selecting things that are meant to be silly.

Why not get your friend something they'll love?

You know your best friend better than anyone else, so you probably know what they want and will appreciate most. If you can find a way to show them that you've been paying attention, they'll be impressed.

If you want to get your friend something they'll love and use every day, consider getting them something meaningful. This can be anything from a unique piece of clothing or jewelry that reminds them of their favorite memories with their friends to an item that shows how much fun hanging out with them is (like a pair of inflatable pool floats).

Who doesn’t want to be spoiled? If you have a best friend, and they are the one person who has been there for you through thick and thin, then why not get them something that will make their day? These gifts are fun, thoughtful, and perfect for any holiday (or just because). From experiences like trips to the spa or tickets to their favorite band’s concert; to silly items like custom mugs or personalized jewelry, there are so many options available. So what are you waiting for? Go out there and find the perfect gift!
