20+ Best Friend Gifts to Make Your BFF Feel Extra Special| Well+Good

If your bestie lives in athleisure, Well+Good contributing writer Hannah Singleton recommends Halara’s flare yoga leggings. “They’re one of the most comfortable pairs of travel ‘pants’ I own,” she writes in a review—and, not to mention, “elicits raving compliments every time you wear it.” The pair is available in 19 colors and in three lengths, so you’re bound to find their perfect fit.

A flameless candle like this pick promises the same cozy ambience without the safety concerns of a flame candle. (Plus, it’ll last longer.) It also doubles as a diffuser, dispensing a pleasant scent (based on the choice of oil) for up to 50 hours on a single charge. The LED light flickers like a real flame, and it’s a cinch to operate: “Light” it by removing the lid, and “blow” or “snuff” the candle to power it off.

This bag is a classic and has been loved by celebs like Katie Holmes and Reese Witherspoon for years. Made from heavyweight canvas, it’s a durable carryall for the tote-schlepping bestie you love.

Skincare is the gift that keeps on giving. If your BFF’s skin is particularly sensitive, dry, or acne-prone, the Krave Great Barrier Relief Serum—as the name suggests—will offer relief.

Give your BFF the gift of a professional-looking manicure with this press-on nail kit, which comes with the recommendation of Well+Good Senior Beauty Editor Aimee Simeon.
