You know who they are: the Gayle to your Oprah, the peanut butter to your jelly, your best friend in the whole world. If you’ve been lucky enough to be blessed with a bestie who’s always, always there for you—through the highs and lows, late-night and early-morning phone calls, and life’s moments big and small—you should be showing your love in every way possible.
There are plenty of non-material ways to show that love, like sharing sweet quotes, but gifts are pretty much always appreciated, too. Whether you’re celebrating your best friend because it’s their birthday, your BFF anniversary, a holiday, or just because you want to say I love you, we’ve got your back here.
