18 Gifts That Are Actually Worthy of Your Best Friend
What do you buy the person who's borrowed everything in your closet, answered your phone calls at ridiculous hours, and never judges you on how many dating apps you have, Seamless meals you've ordered in a single day, or selfies you've posted to your Instagram? Well, for starters, something that says "thank you."
While it's not necessarily easy giving something equally stylish and meaningful to your best friend, the 18 picks below are a solid place to start searching. In a range of price options, these cozy, sleek, and—most importantly—non-cheesy BFF presents are actually worthy of your favorite partner in crime. And better yet, she'll actually use them and won't relegate the package to the back of her closet (to spare your feelings, of course).

There's nothing more thoughtful than a gift that says "your downtime is important and should be treated as such."

Wrap up a little bit of athleisure, and as a bonus, promise to finally tag along to that shadow boxing class she's obsessed with.
Sunglasses may be a tricky item to give, but we can pretty safely say this classic shape will be a hit.
This truly special piece will be a part of her wardrobe forever.
Don't be surprised if she thanks you every night. And every morning, too.
Because her apartment décor is as enviable as her closet, help her elevate her tech gear too with this chic dock.
A cozy, big-enough-to-wrap-around-your-body-twice scarf is pretty much a hug in fashion form.
