Here are a few gift ideas to celebrate the holiday season with your best friend.
An air popper, $18, and a jar of popcorn kernels to make movie nights more festive.
A handknitted hat, $37 for supplies, (and a promise to teach her how to knit the next time you see each other in person or on your next Skype chat).
A travel mug from your favorite coffee shop, $14, so she can keep her drinks warm on freezing walks through the city. Brownie points for adding a bag of coffee beans (prices vary).
A pair of pretty gold earrings she can wear every day, $96. Bonus if you have matching ones, so you can be twins across the country.
Witty pins to jazz up an otherwise plain winter coat, $9-20, each. (pho, wine, whale, coffee, toast, cookies)
A travel guidebook, $10, and an invitation to a shared Pinterest board to plan your future trip.
A tin of recipe cards, $38, including a batch of your favorite cookies, to kick off a DIY monthly cookie exchange.
A book you've recently loved, like The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden or The Interestings, so you're bestie isn't missing out (prices vary). Better yet, form your own book club.
A map print of the city you love to explore together to go on the wall, starting at $24. (Other cities available, too!)
A phone case, $36, to protect that precious piece of technology you use for keeping in touch via calls, texts, emails, Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat, Slack, and Todoist. (Wait: not everyone maintains a running conversation in eight places?! We must like each other...)
Custom key tag from Various Projects, $20. (Cue the inside jokes!)
A linen utensil case, $30, for bringing lunch in style (and without waste). Or, if you're handy with a sewing machine, you could make your own.
For more gift ideas that we wholeheartedly recommend, see some of our past posts:
+ for the home: photography prints, handmade linen napkins, candles, fancy soap
+ in the kitchen: our favorite coffee gear, ecclectic kitchenwares
+ to wear: gold earrings, winter nail polish, natural skincare
+ to read: 3 audiobooks, 5 of Nicole's picks
Plus last year's gift guide (everything's under $30!).
Happy holidays!
