Whoever your BFF is, whether they’re your mom, sister, cousin, or long-distance pal, they need to unwrap something that basically says, “Thank you for the years of venting, advice, and laughs, ilysm.” And while you know them better than anyone, finding the perf gift (or two) to embody all your love and appreciation can be a struggle. So, we think they would be v deserving of a present from our list of 60 unexpected gifts to get your best friend, whether it be their birthday, graduation, or any special occasion.

It's a gift they'll use all the time, crack up over because it's just that hilarious, or look at and weep because it's so sentimental (and reminds them of you). This gift has high stakes, so we know the pressure is majorly on. But the good news is we’re here to help. Below, we’ve compiled 60 gift ideas that will make your BFF feel loved and special.
