19 Punny Best Friend Gift Ideas To Make You LOL
As you're checking names off of your holiday list this year, make sure you pay extra special attention to the people who have helped you get through this last gruesome year: your parents, your partner, Beyoncé, and, of course, your best friend. Instead of getting them the same old broken heart friendship bracelet you've been exchanging with her since grade school, pick out one of these punny best friend gift ideas, because the best thing you can give on the holidays is a smile. Trust me, after the year we just had, she'll appreciate it.
Whether you're shopping for your childhood bestie, your college girl gang, your current roommate, or that BFF at work that makes the day more bearable, choosing the right gift can be hard. You want something that is sweet and thoughtful without being too sentimental (this isn't National Best Friend's Day, after all), something practical and useful without being too boring, and, most importantly, something that is unique and personal to the special someone you're giving it to. Believe it or not, there's one kind of gift that has all of those qualities and more: a punny one, of course!
Ready to get your shopping done? Cross one important name off of your list with one of these 19 punny best friend gift ideas. Whether you're shopping for your childhood BFF or your newly anointed work wife, you can never go wrong with some good old fashioned wordplay.
