24 Creative Last-Minute Best Friend Gifts

Your bestie is a unique being — that’s why they’re the perfect BFF for you. And they deserve a gift that’s maybe a little more out-of-the-box than normal, since giving your best friend a creative gift means you really just get them. Let these last-minute best friend gifts be your guide.

Most likely, the person or persons you call your best friend will be happy with anything you get them. A cool scarf, a bath set, or the DVD set of their favorite TV guilty pleasure are all solid options. Your best friend is your best friend not for materialistic reasons, of course, but it wouldn’t hurt to get them something you put some thought into. It doesn’t have to be anything crazy and elaborate — no need to get them specialty soap made from the milk of an albino goat that’s only born once in a generation in the Himalayas or something like that — just something she probably won’t get from anyone but her best friend.

These gifts can be funny, sentimental, or targeted straight to her interest center. Yes, a lot of these involve alcohol of some kind, but let’s be honest — we can all appreciate a creative way to demonstrate how much we enjoy wine/tequila/anything. In any case, your bestie will be delighted to not receive another book on adulting.

I'll admit, as I've gotten older, I've started to view doing shots as a bad idea. But there's a time and a place for everything — even if it's still a bad idea.

7. Pretty Mug

You're Like Really Pretty Funny Mug, $15, etsy

Of course, Regina George turned out to be more of a frenemy, but that doesn't mean you can't still compliment your bestie with her quotes. And she can use it to find other Mean Girls lovers in her office.
