1) A Pleasant Perfume
As women, we love to smell like dessert or daisies all the time! So, we can never have too many body mists orperfumes, and they never go unused.

The safest bet when it comes to gifts for best friends is usually a shampoo and conditioner combo, or a hair mask.

9) Statement Bag

Easily one of the most no-brainer gifts for women, a statement bag is loved by everyone! It’s advisable to find something that will go with most things in your friend’s closet, so she doesn’t have to think twice before carrying it anywhere! You can either pick a pop color like red, yellow, green, or neutrals and earthy tones to increase versatility. It doesn’t have to be from a brand, but make sure the quality and stitch are durable.
Basics are always appreciated and another t-shirt in your friend’s closet won’t go to waste, trust us on this! From boyfriend tees to 3/4th sleeve styles and regular round neck t-shirts, there is just so much to choose from! Look for these on a dedicated fashion app that also has great reviews! We would suggest something that either has your friend’s favourite band/show/movie reference printed on it, or solid colors so that she can layer or pair it with an array of separates! This one definitely is the underdog of gifts for best friends.
What can you gift to your guy best friend?
If you’ve always felt like it’s a tough feat to pick gifts for male friends, join the club! Yes, it’s not an easy task and that’s why, we scoured tons of websites and also asked a lot of our own friends what they like to receive from someone, and the below is what we came up with.
It’s no secret that men love shirts! Whether you’re a guy or girl gifting your male best friend, it doesn’t matter. Shirts are a gift that say ‘classy’ and ‘tasteful’ both things together, so even a simple white button-down would do. If you want to step it up, then get a printed shirt with motifs that work well for men. Florals, abstract prints, none of it is off-limits so go crazy! Throw in a tie if your friend’s got an interview or promotion meeting coming up, they will definitely thank you for it. Refrain from gifting mens tshirt unless you’re aged below 20, older guys can definitely do without too many tees!
2) Assorted Chocolates As Gifts For Male Friends

Most men will deny having a sweet tooth, but if you know better about your best friend, then this is what they need! Chocolates make for great gifts for best friends especially when it’s a casual occasion. It’s not too much or too little but just the right amount. Put together some premium chocolates you know he’ll love and add a card if you feel. A little goes a long way!
3) Mobile Covers
Guys rarely change their covers unless needed, but it’s always nice to have an extra option just lying around. While this may not be the most thought-provoking gift for a best friend male, it’s definitely a conventional one and sometimes, that’s exactly what a person needs. A hard case that is shatter-proof is ideal but so is a rubber or silicone cover that is heavy-duty and can handle a few falls! It could either be textured, printed, or solid, depending upon your friend’s taste. Only buy from trusted sites though, so you can rest assured about the material.

Perfumes and fine mists aren’t just great gifts for best friends who are female, but also for male ones. If you regularly hang out together, you already know the kind of fragrances your male best friend likes since they’re much stronger scents for men, so this should be easy to pick online or at a physical store.
You can’t go wrong with this! Just like women deserve a care package, men too deserve something that will be put to use every day. This can comprise a grooming kit, hair care for men, skincare essentials or sports essentials like bottles, protein powders, etc. You know your best friends best! So feel free to include whatever you think they’ll require, while also ensuring you present it well. Women can add a letter in and send it off for more impact!
