There is no greater gift than friendship, but there’s no harm in at least trying. After all, who deserves a great gift more than your best friend(s)? So without further ado, we present the Girlfriend’s Gift Guide.
There’s always a Martha Stewart in every friend group. If that’s you, congratulations! But if it’s not, get your hostess with the mostess the gift that keeps on giving: cookbooks! We love Allison Roman’s new cookbook, Nothing Fancy, which is an ode to entertaining in a casual, low-stakes way. On the slightly fancier side is the Missoni Family Cookbook, which is just as pretty as you think it is. Plus, then she can have you over as she cooks her way through it. We also love these large gluggle jug vases which are both funny and practical, and work beautifully as a vase or a pitcher.
For the most fashionistas who still read their Vogues every month, you can’t go wrong with cashmere. Everlane’s crewneck sweater is affordable but still soft as a cloud. Equally soft but a little bit trendier is the sherpa sweatshirt from J.Crew, which is perfect for a girl’s night in but can also be dressed up for happy hour.
If your friend religiously watches HGTV, get her a unique piece that will remind her of you every time she sees it. Which will be often, because she’ll love it so much that she’ll have it in a prized spot. You can’t go wrong with an Aalto vase, which is a classic for a reason. This Anissa Kermiche bronze vase celebrates the beauty of butts, and is a perfect gift that’s a bit on the cheekier side. Forgive the pun. And sometimes, all she really wants is a beautiful, special-edition Diptyque candle. Who could blame her?
