5 IDEAL LUXURY GIFT IDEAS FOR YOUR BEST FRIEND

Special friends don’t come along too often. Indeed, friends are precious – irreplaceable even – and sometimes it’s important to remind them of just how much you care. But what do you buy someone who you’ve already shared so much with? More than likely, you’ve racked up plenty of birthdays, christmases and the rest together, and as such, you’re now left racking your brain for inspiration for the next great present.

So, if you’re looking for that perfect luxury gift for her, to tell her how much you care, or to say thank you for something, or simply to pledge a sense of continued support, then read on; our 5 IDEAL gifts for your best friend.

FRIENDSHIP JEWELLERY

Long gone are the days of braided bracelets and those ‘Forever Friends’ interlocking necklaces from Argos. In fact, friendship jewellery is enjoying a second season in the sun, and going through an extraordinary refresh in adulthood. These pieces are every bit as trendy as they are timeless and a world apart from the nostalgic childhood memorabilia; ironic, maybe but popular, certainly. From dainty friendship knot bracelets to pretty promise rings, a piece of friendship jewellery will celebrate your long-standing relationship and can even represent a promise to always support each other, through tough times and hard. Lovely stuff.

A PAMPERING KIT

Your best friend deserves to be pampered. But sometimes the spa is an undertaking too far; maybe due to being time poor or, well, purse poor. Or both. A pampering kit, then, seems the perfect compromise; a chance for your BFF to feel cherished and come out the other side looking refreshed and glamorous. Whether you assemble one yourself with all of the items you know will be most appreciated, or you buy one already made, is up to you.

LOVELY, LUXURY LINGERIE

Many believe lingerie can only be an intimate gift given and received between lovers. Well, they couldn’t be more wrong. Moreover, whoever said buying sexy underwear is ONLY for turning men on also had it all wrong and completely backwards.

Firstly, to many, lingerie is all about female empowerment; about making a woman feel like a woman by feeling good about themselves. So, this is where the gift of beautiful, sexy lingerie comes in; it can make you feel more confident and raise self-esteem, and who wouldn’t want that for their best friend?

A DESIGNER HANDBAG

To really show your appreciation for your best friend, consider investing in the designer handbag she’s had her eye on. After all, receiving a handbag as a gift is much nicer than buying it yourself! Less guilt, more the unbridled of being properly spoilt. If you know the style she likes, look for pieces within your budget, if you don’t, just ask, in a sly, covert way.

To play it safe, look for handbags made in neutral shades with practical handles or straps that make it very usable and versatile. Or, if she has a particular colour she always gravitates towards, consider investing in a piece which fits that hue that she can bring out on special occasions.

A FOOD & WINE HAMPER

Food tastes better when shared with friends, and has the power to bring us together. So what better gift than a few and wine hamper? With combinations of food, wine or even champagne, you can treat her to a basket of goodies which, hopefully, she’ll choose to share with you; the perfect present, we think, particularly when you throw a food and wine pairing guide into the hamper, too!

As the experts at the Wine Caverns recommend, buying a 6 bottle wine case will be an ideal gift for your loved one on its own, or as an inclusion in a larger hamper. Choose from sweet or savoury depending on her the glucose level of her tooth, and remember to consider her favourite tipple; the abundance of choice means you can tailor the hamper to her taste perfectly.
