To clarify at the outset – we are talking about girl-space-friends here, female friends, just friends 😄 – not girlfriends. Gifts for friends and those for girlfriends would be different, and you would be a better gifter if you know the difference.
That said, what better day than Friendship Day to celebrate this beautiful bond of love, trust, support and fun that you share with your gal pals! Friendship day is celebrated on the first Sunday of August every year in India. This year, it falls on 6th August 2023.
If you are looking for some unique and thoughtful friendship days gifts for your girl best friends, you have come to the right place. Without further ado, let’s get started!
Personalized gifts
Nothing says “you are special” like a personalized gift that reflects your friend’s personality, interests, or memories. You can choose from a variety of options such as photo frames, mugs, cushions, keychains, pendants, bracelets, etc. that can be customized with your friend’s name, photo, or message. For example, think about a gorgeous, personalized engraved wooden plaque with a photo of you two and a sweet message! An even more offbeat option is a personalized Spotify photo frame plaque with your photo and a scannable code that plays her favorite song. These gifts are sure to make your friend feel loved and appreciated.
And if you’re interested in deep-diving in this space, we cover a lot of these in a separate article on personalized gifts.
Jewelry
A piece of jewelry is a classic gift that will, literally, be treasured. It can be elegant, stylish and a timeless symbol of your friendship. Of course, there is a plethora of options to choose from. If you’re buying for kids, something colorful, playful and not too expensive might be ideal – like these half-butterfly or half-heart necklaces. On the more mature side – make her the lady of the rings with these elegant rose gold or sterling silver options. And if you’re willing to spend a bit more, go for this gorgeous engraved bracelet from Mooham.
Accessories
Accessories are great gifting options because of how practical and useful they are! You can choose from a range of items that suit your friend’s taste and preference. For example, you can gift your friend a set of luxury satin scrunchies that are comfortable and stylish at the same time. Or you can gift her this stunning black everyday watch that will surely grab eyeballs. Or maybe a Bella Vita fragrances set that suits her vibe. It’s hard to go wrong with any of these options!
Home Décor
Thoughtful home décor gifts will not only add a bit more charm to your friend’s space, they will also become reminders of all the fun you two have together. A warm, cozy, smoke-free, scented candle for your secret conversations. A 4-piece set of funny wall hangings to brighten up their room. Or a beautiful stonework Radhe Krishna idol for peace and blessings. It’s the little things that they will remember. ❤
Books
Maybe books are something you frequently bond over? Or maybe it’s just your friend who’s the bookworm, but you have some idea of what kind of stuff she reads? Either way, a good book is another gift that frequently becomes a life-long bridge between two people. Taste in books is very subjective, so there’s no point suggesting specific books here. But this 100 books to read in a lifetime selection from Amazon is a very, very good place to start. And if you know a bit about what she likes to read, maybe experiment a bit with this wonderful book suggestions AI at Readow.
Beauty Products
If your friend loves to take care of herself, beauty products might be a great idea to pamper her. Cosmetics market in India is booming right now, and there are more options available than ever before. Gift them a skincare hamper by Plum that contains natural products for glowing skin. Or introduce her to the perfect wingman in the form of the Maybelline Date Night makeup kit. Or, if they are a bit crazy over haircare, indulge them with the perfect L’Oreal haircare set. Making your friend look good makes you look good.
Chocolates
Can you even really be friends with someone who doesn’t like chocolates? Chocolates are God’s gift to humanity – and you can help God by spreading them. Surprise your friend with a delicious assortment (that she can enjoy and share with you). You can pick something exotic and premium like a box of amazingly smooth and creamy Lindt chocolates, something more fun and colorful like a bouquet of Cadbury chocolates, or even a personalized chocolate photo cake that has your friend’s photo printed on it. Let the love flow!
Plants
If your friend is nurturing and kind, a small plant might be a great gift for her. They add a bit of freshness to the interiors and emanate a soothing, peaceful vibe. You can choose from a variety of plants that are easy to care for and beautiful to look at. For example, you can gift your friend a terrarium – a miniature garden in a glass container, good luck bamboo stalks, or a magnificent money plant in ceramic pot. May your friendship grow as does this plant! 🌱
So that’s that! Some great gift ideas for the Powerpuff Girls in your life. Couple any of these with a big hug and tell your friend how much they mean to you.
Cheers! 🥂
