Friends hold us down through the best and worst of times. We call them when we have good news to share, or bad news to vent about. They’re with us during the turn-up, and the good ones never fail to show up.
Now that the holidays are upon us, we’re sure you’ll be searching for gifts that speak to every type of friend in your tribe. We know there’s no “one size fits all” approach to shopping for the ones we call our chosen family. So we’ve rounded up a few suggestions to take the guesswork out of it.
Show your appreciation with these gifts for every type of bestie.
01
For The Healthy Friend
Whether she’s a hard core gym rat or nutrition aficionado, your health-conscious bestie will appreciate this portable blender to bring her smoothies on the go. This sleek and easy-to-clean model comes in multiple colors and is USB rechargeable.
02
For The Friend That Loves Her Beauty Rest
Sleep is an essential need that we simply don’t get enough of. The friend that doesn’t play about her beauty rest will absolutely love you for this pick. Beauty brand This Works lives up to its name with its Dream Sleep Pillow Spray. Its aromatherapeutic blend of lavender, camomile, and vetivert helps you fall asleep faster and wake up refreshed.
03
For The Friend Who’s Face Is Never NOT Beat
She knows every beauty blogger on the web and you’ll never catch her out without a serious beat. Yep, you know the girl! You should also know that she’ll appreciate this arsenal of universally flattering lip glosses from Fenty Beauty. A true beauty boss can never have enough lip products…trust us!
04
For The Zen Friend
Nothing can destroy her inner peace, and we want to keep it that way! Black-owned wellness company Alexandra Winbush is restoring self-care one product at a time. Their yummy tea and candle sets are perfect for setting the mood and keeping vibrations high. Each set comes with an expertly curated playlist to help you unwind. Bad vibes don’t stand a chance!
05
For The Fly Friend
Somehow, this friend can rock a paper bag and make it look like couture! She’s also got a stellar collection of handbags, which you can add to with this always on-trend animal print staple by Topshop.
06
For The “Life Of The Party” Friend
Drinks are always on her, and shots are always her idea. Not only does she get the party going, but she helps the group remember to laugh and live life to the fullest. Supply her bar cart with some of the best tequila on the market – like this Roca Patrón Reposado made with time-honored “tahona” technique. The taste is sensational, just like her spirit!
07
For The Friend That Loves To Entertain
This hospitable homie is always down to host! Her crib is where Friendsgiving, birthday parties and other group celebrations take place, and her shindigs are always tastefully put together. These stoneware mugs add a touch of class to any of her celebrations. It’s always five o’clock somewhere, after all!
08
For The Friend That Always Puts Others First
Whenever you call her, she’ll come running! Whatever you need, she’s got your back. But isn’t it funny how this type of comrade always forgets to treat herself? We don’t want her making this a habit. HERBIVORE’s Self-Love Body Ritual kit is a treat for the woman that does it all. Their two skin-perfecting body polishes and a glow-boosting, moisturizing Jasmine Body Oil are the perfect gifts for the selfless soul.
