With the holiday season coming up, it can be very stressful finding that perfect gift for your perfect friend. Of course you want to get them a gift they will actually use, but since you want the gift to be a surprise, you can not ask them flat out what they want for Christmas. However, there are solutions. Here are simple, yet great ideas for finding the perfect gift for your bestie.

#1: A Personalized Pop Socket

Who doesn’t love a Pop Socket? They are  very handy for getting a good grip on your phone and are  a fun embellishment. What’s even better is that you can customize your very own design for a Popsocket on their website! It is easy too – you just click on the customize option, and you can change the background color and the font color, size, and font. You can also upload a photo of the two of you onto your Popsocket. You can write a little message on it or you can even add an inside joke the two of you share.

Who doesn’t love being cozy?

#2: A Cozy Kit

This gift is perfect, especially during the winter. You can make your own collection of cozy items, such as a sweatshirt, a blanket, a throw pillow, or many other items. You can also include a hot chocolate making kit – simply put hot chocolate mix into a mason jar and add some marshmallows on top. Tie it up with a cute ribbon, add a side of candy canes and voila! You have an adorable and simple gift. (Bonus points: you can also add their favorite book or movie so they can curl up, relax, and enjoy.)

#3: “Open When” Letters

Everyone gets bad days. They’re completely unavoidable. However, when you are not able to be there for you bestie during their hard times, you can make these adorable letters. You can write different things on the envelope, such as, “open when you are  sad” or “open when you are angry” or anything else you think they might need. You can then write notes for them based on what it is they need.
