Unexpected Gifts For Your Best Friend That’ll Show 'Em How Much You Care

Warning: You’ll want something for yourself too.

our bestie deserves the world, whether you're sistersroommates, or long-distance pals. But that’s just not realistic (especially in this economy, lol). So, we think you should get them the next best thing, aka a present from our list of 57 unexpected gifts to get your best friend, below.

I mean, you can't get 'em just any ol' present for the holidays (or, frankly, any other important occasion). A BFF gift isn’t like a gift you'd give to regular folks—like your boss or even a family member—because there needs to be *so much more thought* that goes into it. No, a present for your bestie is a thoughtful gesture reserved for your partner in crime only. It's a gift they'll use all the time, look at and weep because it's so sentimental, or crack up over because it's just that hilarious.

This gift has high stakes, so the pressure's majorly on. Don't stress, though, because there’s a massive list of ideas coming right up, from apparel to home decor, accessories, gadgets, and more. Each item on this list screams, "I love you, and you're the most special person in the world to me, and also, I put so much thought into this. You're gonna scream." And so they will.
