The perfect present: find the best gift for your best (female)friend

The most special gift you can give your friend is one that reflects her personality and interests. A gift that shows how well you know her. Whether you’re searching for a birthday gift for your best friend or looking for something to put underneath her Christmas tree, there’s a perfect gift for everyone!

Is her wardrobe larger than her bedroom? Surprise the uncrowned queen of fashion with a Fashion Choice gift card which she can use to bring her outfits to an even higher level. From timeless accessories like a gorgeous scarf to a minimalistic bracelet and chic designer bags.

Extra tip: a customised piece of jewellery is just as unique as she is. Surprise her with an engraved necklace or a ring with her name, initials, or a special date in it.

If you say pampering, I say wellness. Grant her a day full of relaxation with a spa break. From a facial to give her a wonderful glow to a massage that’ll knead all the stress out of her body, this is an oasis of peace and well-being. Perfect for the friend who wants to escape the daily hustle and bustle.

Is she having a fictional crush again? Are you only allowed to interrupt her reading during a code red situation? Then you’ll make her happy with a new book by her favourite author! Don’t know where to begin? Or which books she already has? Then the National Book Tokens gift card is your saviour.

Are you always tripping over her yoga mat when you walk into her home? Is she training ferociously for a marathon? Or does she get the hang of a new sport every week? Give her a subscription to a sports app, virtual training lessons or even a membership to a local gym. Or play it safe with a Sports Direct Voucher! With this sports gift card it doesn’t matter which sports your best friend practices, she’ll be able to shop every sports item she likes.

Would you like a gift that’s even more personal? Then you can get started with creating a personal gift for your best friend yourself. With the gift ideas below we’re helping you on your way!

No doubt you’ve gone through some amazing moments together throughout the years… This calls for a photo collage! Take a trip down memory lane and collect the best photos from old photo albums, social media feeds and memory cards. Ready to immortalise your friendship in a showpiece for her home?

The way to – well, pretty much everyone’s - heart is through their stomach! Surprise your bestie with a self-made birthday cake, including extra icing and shimmering sugar decorations. Extra points if it’s a cake with a theme like her favourite movie or celebrity.

Does she prefer savoury over sweet? Then a quiche makes a great alternative! Or surprise her with a delicious dinner of choice.
