Let’s be real.

If anyone deserves a gift that hits straight in the feels, it’s your best friend.

They’ve seen you at your best, worst, and most feral 2 a.m. moments - and still show up like nothing happened.
So, a generic candle isn’t going to cut it.

This year, give them something that’s actually personal, something that makes them laugh, tear up, or both. Here are 10 personalised gift ideas that’ll get a real reaction (and possibly a screenshot to their mum).

1. Turn Your WhatsApp Chats Into Art

You’ve already written the world’s greatest friendship story, it’s just buried in your phone.

With Chat Charts, you can turn your real messages into a personalised art print that captures your friendship perfectly. Whether it’s three years of memes, emotional pep talks, or chaotic voice notes, it becomes a minimalist design that’s both hilarious and heartwarming.

There are designs for every vibe, from the clean Classic and earthy Woodland Green to dreamy Parma Violet and warm Peach Dream, so whatever your aesthetic, there’s a Chat Chart that fits.

2. A “Reasons You’re My Favourite Human” Jar

Grab a jar, some paper, and write 30 tiny notes about why you love them.
Funny ones (“You always like my unhinged Insta stories”) and sincere ones (“You make everything feel lighter”).
It’s small, handmade, and weirdly powerful - they’ll 100% cry by note number seven.

3. Custom Friendship Bracelet - But Make It Adult

Not the string kind from Year 6. Think subtle, minimal, personalised jewellery.
Maybe matching coordinates of where you met, or initials engraved on the inside.
It’s nostalgic and classy, like a grown-up friendship bracelet that actually fits your current aesthetic.

4. A Photo Book That Doesn’t Feel Cheesy

Create a sleek photo book of your best moments together - the nights out, the bad selfies, the random trips.
Add short captions or little inside jokes on each page.
Keep the design simple (neutral tones, clean fonts) so it feels cool, not corny.

5. A Chat Chart Print for Their Wall

Because honestly, your friendship deserves to be displayed.

A Chat Chart turns your friendship into wall art - every “wyd,” every meltdown, every “you won’t believe what just happened.”

It’s the modern equivalent of a photo album. One that looks amazing on their bedroom or office wall and will make anyone who visits ask, “Wait, that’s your actual chat?”

6. A Personalised Spotify Playlist

Make them a playlist of songs that define your friendship.
Include everything from your going-out bangers to the sad-girl soundtrack you both pretend you don’t love.

Title it something only you two will get, instant nostalgia unlocked.

7. A Custom Illustration of You Two

Commission an artist to turn your favourite photo into a digital or hand-drawn print.

It’s personal, unique, and something they’ll actually want to hang (bonus points if you sneak a funny caption underneath).

8. A “Day of Us” Experience

Plan a day entirely around the two of you, brunch, a spa day, a gig, or just your usual coffee-and-walk routine but with a bit more effort.

Add a little printed itinerary or “Best Friend Day Ticket” for that cute touch.
The memories will outlast any physical gift.

9. A Personalised Candle With an Inside Joke

Find a small business that lets you customise candle labels and name one after your friendship.
“The Hot Mess Duo.” “Main Character Energy.” “Smells Like Chaos and Loyalty.”

It’s fun, funny, and way better than “Lavender Serenity.”

10. A Letter They’ll Actually Keep

Write them a letter, old-school, on paper.

Skip the clichés. Tell them what they mean to you, how they’ve shaped your life, and thank them for putting up with you.

Fold it into a card, or slip it behind their Chat Chart print for a hidden surprise.

💬 Final Thoughts

The best gifts aren’t about how much you spend - they’re about how much they sound like you two.

Whether it’s a jar full of inside jokes, a framed chat print that tells your story, or just a handwritten note that hits right in the chest, your best friend deserves something that says, “Thanks for being my person.”
