Holiday Gift Guide: For Your Bestie

Good friends are such a blessing. They are there in good times and bad, to lift you up when you need a boost, to make you laugh when you don't want to cry, and to let you know that you aren't alone in this wild and crazy life. The fun, colorful, and heartwarming gifts found below celebrate the magic of friendship and say thanks for being you.

Matching Moments

What gift is better than one you would get yourself? Let the world know you are friends with matching or coordinating items.

1. For your next weekend getaway (or just matching market runs), give your bestie an Ocean Lady tote. You can match with the same lady of the sea or choose one that better suits each of your personalities. (Link)

2. Dreaming of warm days by the beach? Get your bestie excited about a spring break getaway with coordinating towels. (Link)

3. Bring a pop of color to grey winter weather with these pink palm frond hoops. (Link)

4. Other Maker Pick: Give a personalized friendship bracelet with this unique find from Lulu Melon Jewelry. (Link)

Cozy Hangouts

The best part about friends is that you can just be yourself around them. That means sweatpants and messy topknots and cozy hangouts.

1. For coffee dates that last hours, gift an ocean-inspired insulated mug that will keep their brew warm. (Link)

2. Give them a personalized notebook for doodles, quotes, or secret plans. (Link)

3. Give the gift of coziness with this bright, lemon-covered fleece blanket. (Link)

4. Other Maker Pick: While they aren't a small maker, Natural Life has beautiful products like this weighted pillow. I love their designs and messages. (Link)

Art for her Space

A little piece of art can transform a space. Give a print or original art that reminds you of shared memories and good times.

1. If your bestie is a sardine summer all year round (I know I am), this print is perfect for her bookshelf or office. (Link)

2. Small original art is one of a kind and affordable like this framed Ocean Lady acrylic painting. (Link)

3. An art calendar, like this Ocean Lady calendar, is like gifting 12 art prints. (Link)

4. Other Maker Pick: Remind her of that fabulous trip with art inspired by locations. I love Amber Davenport's designs for several European cities like Barcelona, Positano, and London. (Link)

Fun Finds Under $25

It's the thought that counts, and these finds are both thoughtful and affordable.

1. A fun sticker reminds her that it's ok to be all the things, from strong to scared, as long as you are yourself. (Link)
