24 Best Friend Gift Ideas That Are Perfect For The 2022 Holiday Season—& They’re On Sale

While coworkers and significant others come and go, friends are constants that stay with you through the good and the bad. They come over when you’re going through a rough patch, and they have telepathic powers that always seem to let them know exactly when they need to check in on you with a funny message or meme. Friendships are the bonds we should put the most time and energy into. One way to do just that is by giving them the best gifts for the holidays.

The ultimate “best” gift for your bestie is subjective, but we’ve found success with ideas that never seem to get old. For example, a warm candle that can help make their home extra cozy as the seasons change. Or maybe it’s a skincare set that gets them to practice more self-care and take time off to relax.

Aerie Flurry Crew Sweater

Gifting clothing can sometimes be a bit of a gamble, but not with the ultra-comfy Flurry Crew Sweater.

This sweater is so cozy, you’re going to be tempted to get one for yourself, too. You can’t say no to twinning with your bestie! In fact, I just bought one for my sister and one for myself (I couldn’t resist; it’s just so soft and warm).

Anthropologie Boulangerie Jar Candle in Espresso

This gem of a candle from Anthropologie brings out all of its returning and new stans, and typically sells out early.
