Christmas Gift Guide For Your Best Friend | 2017

Welcome to week one of my Christmas gift guides where every week I’ll bring you some of the best items out there. This week I am starting with gifts for your best friend.

Despite knowing your best friend better than most people in the world – including yourself at times – it can be tough to buy them that perfect present. You want to thank them for always being there for you and celebrate how awesome they are.

Here are some great gifts to buy for your best friend this Christmas.

Mini cinema lightbox – £9.99

Lightboxes are everywhere at the moment and you can’t seem to step into a retailer without seeing one. The great thing about this Mini cinema lightbox* is how compact it is at just A6 size, but despite this, you can still fit three lines worth of message of there. There are 85 characters included so there’s a lot of variation to be had.

With magnets on the back, you can even stick the lightbox to the fridge if you’re short on space. Thankfully you don’t have to worry about using too many magnets as you can fit a standard USB cable in and power it with electricity.

At under £10 this would be the perfect little gift for your best friend, especially if you opened it up and included a message on the board before you started.

Fairy Castle Artwork – £10

Gallery walls are all the rage and there’s such an abundance of quirky art prints on the market but going for something unique you need to look a little further afield. That’s where Stag and Raven come in. They sell a range of items from t-shirts and jumpers through to mugs and artwork designed by tattoo artists as you can see from the distinctive style of the beautiful Fairy Castle* image above.

I’ve always loved tattoos and have racked up a number of permanent editions to my body and the great thing about this artwork is that it’s so unique and one of a kind. The print above is limited to just 100 copies and everything you purchase comes with details of the artist and studio where the artwork was created.  The fairy castle in the sky is such an iconic fairy tale/ Disney image and the perfect gift for your best friend to show her that she’s a real princess.

White and Gold Planter – £8.95

Another thing alongside galley walls which seems to be a bit of an interior/ homeware trend is plants, you pretty much can’t go into a homeware department and not see succulents, cactuses, hanging plant pots and everything else under the sun. This gold detailed planter* from Red Candy is adorable and such a good price for something which I’ve seen in stores such as Urban Outfitters for more than three times the price.

The cute little pot is the perfect size for a cactus or succulent and will suit any surrounding especially if you’re going for a Scandinavian minimalistic area.

Marble Inspired Phone Cases – From $34

Everybody needs a good phone case and marble cases are absolute perfection because who doesn’t want something pretty and shimmery. Case App* do amazing custom iPhone cases* and you can customize them to exactly how you want them to look. I chose two designs from the website one featuring a pink marble print and one with a cross-match of black marble, white marble, and gold glitter. But you can upload your own photos and fully customize them to make them look however you want.

The cases are really solid and good quality and they come in such a variety of sizes and choices. You can get a custom laptop skin as well which sticks perfect on your laptop without damaging it. Grab a 20% discount with my code RHIAN20.

Espresso maker – £14.99

Coffee lovers rejoice with this espresso maker* for your coffee loving best bud as it makes an espresso in less than 5 minutes. This coffee pot makes 6 small espresso shots and all you have to do is pop it on top of your gas-electric or induction stovetop, and it’s perfect for camping or on the move if you can’t be without your coffee fix. Whether your best friend has just moved in their own place and are looking for a space-saving device, or you want to ensure she doesn’t get cranky through a lack of coffee this is the perfect choice.

Katherena Trunk Bag – £100

There’s nothing which screams luxury gift for your best friend more than these stunning trunk style clutch bags from Katherena. They’re available in four stunning colours from a bright clean white to a brown crocodile pattern in PU leather. All of the material is vegan-friendly and no animals were harmed in the making of these beauties, something which makes the brand stand out. Each bag comes with a detachable black shoulder strap included and there’s even a little key which you can use to lock your bag so you won’t need to worry about knocking it open when you’re out and about.

If you want something to truly show your best friend how much she means to you make sure it’s with something as stylish as these bags.

Custom Logo

Everyone thinks of logos being about companies and brands, but logo maker Logojoy has made logos so affordable and beautiful that you could commemorate your friendship with a logo, which you could then have embossed, printed on something like a phone case or makeup bag, or even made into a tattoo if you’re feeling bold. If that’s not out of the box, then what else is?
