You may not have seen your best friend in the flesh for a while, but that doesn’t mean she’s not still the ultimate sidekick. Connecting via phone calls, FaceTimes, and virtual birthday parties have kept you two sane in your new socially distanced lives, but a thoughtful, personalized gift—in honor of a birthday, milestone, or hey, just because—is a great way to let her know how much you care for and appreciate her. You don’t have to spend a ton of money on a present in order for it to pack a punch: Consider sending her something useful for the home, calming for the mind, or anything in line with her self-care routine routine.
