36 Birthday Gifts For Your BFF To Make Them Go "Aww"
A birthdate candle that's way better than any regular candle on a cake, since this one has their birthday, astrology sign, and a unique personality description on the label, so they can truly embrace their birthday energy and celebrate their special day any day of the year. A personalized hairbrush for the friend who deeply cares about everything in their life being just as aesthetic as they are. You can customize it with their name or initials, and they'll think of you every day when they get ready for work in the morning. A strawberry vase that is just berry, berry cute. They can fill it with flowers, a leafy green houseplant, or kitchen tools. Pro tip: bring them fresh flowers in this for extra BFF brownie points! A Woobles crochet kit if your bestie has been saying they've been wanting to be more crafty or get into the "grandma hobbies" that everyone has been doing lately. This kit comes with everything they'll need to create a cute little plush friend and it's great for beginners. A mini beauty fridge because your friend takes their skincare routine very seriously. This cute little chilled fridge has space to fit all their serums, masks, and other skincare goodies to give them a spa-like experience every night. The Official Bridgerton Cookbook if your BFF marathon-watched Bridgerton like it was nobody's business and you want to give them inspo for crafting the perfect afternoon tea, a savory treat, or just a jolly good meal. Whether or not they actually end up making the 70+ recipes in this book, it'll look beautiful in their kitchen or on their coffee table as decor. A bucket list water bottle for the outdoorsy friend who's got a goal of visiting all the national parks. This bottle comes with 63 stunning stickers and is double-wall insulated, so it'll look beautiful and keep them hydrated while they're adventuring in the Arches or ravishing at the Redwoods. A Subtl Beauty Stak that your travel-loving, "carry-on only" BFF will love. It allows them to keep up to NINE makeup products in one compact and convenient place, AND you can customize it if you know their routine is more of a no-makeup-makeup routine. Plus, it comes with a mirror lid and includes a brush. A charcuterie board perfect for the pal who loves hosting an apéritif hour with friends. This is a gouda way to display those beautiful meats and cheeses — it has built-in serving compartments, comes with serving utensils, and has side handles for easy serving. Or a recycled wine bottle serving platter if your friend wants something to "wow" the friend group when they come over for wine and cheese night. It even comes with a cheese knife made from the bottle's cork! A book-shaped vase for the bookworm who loves flowers just as much as they love reading. I mean, does this not give off "I am an intellectual, but I also love my aesthetics" energy? An embroidered bookmark — despite your friend's love for the 🌶️ spiciest 🌶️ of romance novels, they'll appreciate that they have this cutesy little bookmark instead of using a random Post-it note. And a personalized floral book stamp, so for every new book they get, they can hit it with a *MINE* and mark their territory. Their collection of Colleen Hoover is now protected from any book gremlins that try to keep them as their own. A splurge-worthy Ember temperature control ceramic mug to keep your coffee-loving friend's morning brew or cup of tea actually warm. While they get ready in the morning, this keeps their beverage around 120°F to 145°F and lets them enjoy a sip of hot coffee instead of settling for a lukewarm drink. A popular checkerboard throw blanket that many have compared to the likes of Barefoot Dreams, since it's got that cozy softness, minus the hefty price tag. Your friend will love cuddling up to this on the couch or keeping it at the foot of their bed. Some upcycled record coasters to prove that your gifting skills are just as good as your friend's music taste. They'll love this pretty and practical item, and each set is unique because of its vintage materials. A beautiful tennis bracelet that'll add just the right amount of "oomph" to their look. This 14-karat gold-plated bracelet looks way more expensive than what you paid for it, and it has a durable clasp so your friend can wear it all day, every day. A beaded shoulder bag, since they've probably seen these all over Pinterest and have thought about them ever since. The beaded detailing is gorgeous and these easily compare to the Staud Tommy beaded bags that start at $295! A pair of statement teardrop earrings, a fashion-forward twist on the classic hoop. Contrary to how chunky they look, reviewers say they are lightweight and a comfortable staple to their earring collection. Bottega Veneta, who?? A darling "Candle By The Hour" beehive candle sure to get some buzz from your friend because this might be the coolest candle they've ever seen. Once they light it, it burns until the flame reaches the tip of the little extinguisher. Yay for a cool candle and not forgetting about an open flame! Or an affordable cult-favorite luxury-scented candle that's giving Le Labo Santal 33 without the Le Labo price tag. They'll get subtle notes of jasmine, oud, and sandalwood — and a whole lotta, "Oooh, it smells so nice in here!" from whoever comes over to their place. An Anthropologie Icon Juice Glass, which is named "icon" for a good reason, since these glasses stay popular throughout all the drinkware trends going on. Don't be surprised if they start collecting these (because I know I do)! A dainty pickleball paddle set so your pickleball bestie can serve in style, no matter how good or bad they are at the game. These will look so cute with their fave pickleball outfits, and they even come with an adorable carrying bag and extra balls. A Clinique tinted lip balm in Black Honey, which has a chokehold on the beauty community because it truly is a shade that looks good on everyone! Reviewers love how moisturizing this feels and how natural it looks (but still love its buildable formula if they're going for a brighter pop of color). The newest version of the Kindle Paperwhite, because your friend loves a good book, and what they'll love even more is that this has a large display, adjustable lighting options, a glare-free screen, a long battery life (weeks-long to be exact), and is waterproof. A Lego flower bouquet kit for the friend who's tired of stepping on their kid's Legos, so the least you could do is get them Legos that are solely for them. They'll have so much fun putting this together, and they'll love how it can double as a fun centerpiece. A wine chiller, perfect if your friend loves to bring a bottle of wine to an outdoor picnic or concert. This is made from stainless steel, so it'll keep the bottle chilled for hours (yes, hours!) and ensure that every last sip is crisp and cold. A subscription to Atlas Coffee Club that'll be the gift that keeps on giving. It's perfect for your bestie who loves to switch up their morning brew since they'll get a new roast of coffee every couple of weeks and get to try new flavors from around the world. A gift subscription to Book of the Month — your friend will get to choose from a selection of five books, so they can start a new read each month. Plus, it'll introduce them to titles they've never heard of before! Cocktail Codex: Fundamentals, Formulas, Evolutions so they can ~mix~ things up a bit and learn how to be their own at-home bartender. This teaches them how to make the six classic cocktails (the old-fashioned, martini, daiquiri, sidecar, whisky highball, and flip), and it shows them how to add fun twists with ingredients they have at home. Sol de Janeiro's Hair And Body Fragrance Mist, which seems like everyone wants to get their hands on. This comes in the same beloved vanilla and caramel scent as the viral Bum Bum Cream and might just have people telling them, "Oh, you smell SO good!" A customized pet paint-by-number that'll make them feel like a modern-day Van Gogh without having to actually know how to paint that well. Once they finish the piece, they'll immediately have a beautiful pet portrait of their furry best friend (don't worry, you're still their human best friend). A personalized travel jewelry case to keep their earrings, rings, and necklaces nice and organized for when they're jet-setting around the world. This comes in so many color options and even has a built-in mirror. A personalized best-friend portrait sure to make your friend shed a tear of joy for your friendship and your thoughtfulness. You can customize it to match you and your BFF's styles, and it'll definitely have a place of honor on their wall. A teensy candy vending machine for the friend who is always down for a little treat. They can keep this at home or bring it to the office so they'll always have some sweetness during their 9–5. A mirror affirmation decal to remind them that they are kind, smart, beautiful, and enough. They'll love looking at it as they get ready in the morning or as they unwind after a tough day. You're the thoughtful friend, and this is a reminder that you're always there for them! Your BFF trying to guess which awesome gift you got them from this list: Reviews for this post have been edited for length and/or clarity.
