Gift Your Best Friend Something She'll Truly Love
No receipt needed.

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.

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. If you want to up the ante with a special and pricey gift on this list, consider splitting the cost with your other friends. Ahead, 25 gift ideas that are a fit for only your nearest and dearest.
