The 79 best gifts for friends in 2022:

A bird-themed mug that celebrates curse words

Fowl Language Bird Mug, available at Uncommon Goods, $15 

If you have a friend with a notoriously bad mouth (or who just really, really likes birds), this fowl language mug is a must-have. With beautiful illustrations paying homage to Blue-footed Boobies, Rough-faced Shags and other feathered friends, they won’t even be able to open it with a straight face.

A custom silhouette sticker of you and your bestie

Custom Silhouette Sticker, available at Etsy, from $6.50

Give your bestie the best gift of all: You two together forever — in print! This custom-made, artsy sticker recreates your favorite pictures, poses, and memories mean to be stuck on their water bottle or laptop.

A portable book nook

Book Nook Reading Valet, available at Uncommon Goods, $48

Does your friend always have their nose in a book? This portable reading shrine adds a bit of luxury to their time spent in the pages, equipped with dedicated spots for their reading glasses, phone, toasty beverage, and, of course, the book itself.

A hilarious party game that’ll bring you closer

The Voting Game, available at Target and Amazon, $19.99

The Voting Game is where secrets come out and friendships are put to the test…figuratively, of course. This adult party game poses life’s real questions, like “Who would survive the longest in a zombie apocalypse?”, and then it’s off to the polls! Laughter is guaranteed, but be warned: Being a good sport is definitely required.

A nostalgic, state-scented candle

Homesick Location Scented Candle, available at Amazon, Homesick, and Uncommon Goods, from $27.20

If you have a friend from your hometown you haven’t seen in a while, you can make it up to them with one of these state-scented candles. Ranging from Alaska to Hawaii, these ethically made candles capture the essence of fond memories and will bring joy to their home.

An adorable Hogwarts alumni cap

Harry Potter Alumni Cap, available at BoxLunch, $18.90

For friends who are still waiting on their Hogwarts letters, this house-specific ballcap will get them by. Whether they were sorted into Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin, this hat is functional and fashionable with a custom pigment dye treatment. Off to platform 9¾!

A timeless cast iron skillet

Lodge 10.25-in. Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet, available at Williams Sonoma, Target, and Amazon, from $20.99 

If there’s something a chef friend always needs, it’s a sturdy cast iron skillet. This bad boy is 100% toxin-free with a naturally nonstick surface, heavyweight composition, even heat retention, and it comes pre-seasoned for a smooth finish that resists sticking and rust. Need we say more? (We recommend conveniently stopping by for dinner the first time they try it out!)

A gift that even the most diehard fan of “The Office” probably doesn’t have

“The Office BFFs: Tales of The Office from Two Best Friends Who Were There” by Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey, available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart, from $12.99

Is your best friend an obsessive fan of “The Office”? If so, look no further than “The Office BFFs: Tales of The Office from Two Best Friends Who Were There,” the book written by “The Office” costars and real-life best friends Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey.

A portable, Bluetooth record player

Victrola Vintage 3-Speed Bluetooth Portable Suitcase Record Player, available at Amazon, Walmart, and Home Depot, from $47.10

If they love vintage goods, this record player is the perfect gift to add to their collection. The record player features built-in Bluetooth compatibility and a portable design that offers a modern twist on this retro staple.

A set of friendship lights

Long Distance Friendship Lamp, available at Uncommon Goods, from $99

If your close friend lives far away, let them know you’re always thinking of them with this friendship light. When you tap your light, your friend’s twin version will instantly activate so they know you haven’t forgotten them. 

A luxurious lavender perfume

Yves Saint Laurent Libre Fragrance, available at Sephora, Ulta, and Macy’s, from $85

A designer perfume like this Saint Laurent fragrance is a fitting gift for a friend who enjoys luxurious items. The floral fragrance’s bold lavender scent appeals to the confident friend who’s daring and always lives true to themself.

A gold bracelet with their favorite football team

NFL x Baublebar Gold Pisa Bracelet, available at Baublebar, $30

Even if you don’t share in your friend’s enthusiasm for sports, this sports team bracelet shows you get them. Match the bracelet with their favorite team to help them upgrade their next game-day outfit.

A relaxing weighted blanket

Luna Weight Blanket, available at Amazon, Target, and Walmart, from $69.99

For a friend who is constantly working or just needs a chance to unwind, a weighted blanket can make all the difference. We love this one because it’s wallet-friendly but still made from quality materials like Oeko-Tex-certified cotton and natural glass beads. 

A planner to help them stay organized

Rifle Paper Co. 2023 17-Month Large Planner, available at Rifle Paper Co., Amazon, and Walmart, from $27.96

Your Type A friend will thank you for this planner and its neat, detailed layout. The 17-month design means they can finish out this year and be set for the new year. Plus, two pages of colorful stickers can help liven up the notes, weekly, and monthly planning pages.

A neoprene makeup bag from a cool startup

Hunter Toiletry Bag, available at Dagne Dover, from $45

Dagne Dover is one of our all-time favorite handbag companies, and that’s because of the brand’s quality, style, and unmatched attention to detail. The Hunter bag comes in six colors of water-resistant neoprene. It has helpful features like elastic lip gloss loops, slip pockets and a removable zipper pouch for compacts and shadows, and a smooth lining that’s easily cleaned. Zipper tabs can be unsnapped to adjust the shape, too. 

A playful earbud pouch for the forgetful friend

Puffy Earbuds Case, available at Baggu, $14

If you have a friend who tends to lose their AirPods or earbuds all too often, this unique case attaches straight onto their keyring. Plus, it’s quilted, padded, and machine washable. The pouch fastens with Velcro and comes in fun colors and patterns like leopard print and stripes.

A phone case and wallet all-in-one

Nomad Rugged Folio, available at Nomad, Amazon, and Walmart, from $39.95

You might have a friend who doesn’t like carrying around bulky wallets and would rather keep things simple and sleek. This leather folio case sports three card slots and one cash slot, and also has a new internal shock absorption bumper that protects against 10-foot drops. Best of all, it’s made of Horween leather, which ages and appears more rugged as time passes. 

A Fitbit for the activity tracker newcomer

Fitbit Inspire 2, available at Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart, from $62.25

If they’re contemplating joining the Fitbit bandwagon, they’ll appreciate this uncomplicated activity tracker that monitors their exercise, sleep, and heart rate. It’s slimmer than the other options, but still lasts for 10 days, has 20+ different exercise modes, and receives basic smartphone notifications.

A high-tech towel that’s better for their hair

Aquis Rapid Dry Lisse Hair Towel, available at Amazon, Anthropologie, and Bergdorf Goodman, from $29.99

Aquis’ cult-favorite hair towels have inspired a slew of rave reviews online, including one from our own team of reviewers.

The towels are made from a proprietary fabric called Aquitex that’s composed of ultra-fine fibers (finer than silk) that work to reduce the amount of friction the hair experiences while in its weakest state. It also prevents hygral fatigue — the stretching and swelling of wet hair that makes it vulnerable to frizz and damage — by cutting the hair’s drying time by 50%.

Their favorite specialty food straight from the source

Restaurant Meal Kits, available at Goldbelly, from $27

Goldbelly makes it possible to satisfy their most specific and nostalgic cravings no matter where they live in the US — whether it’s a cheesecake from Junior’s or deep dish pizza from Lou Malnati. Browse the iconic gifts section for inspiration. 

A book of witty, quirky postcards

“Friendship Maintenance: 30 Postcards to Say How Much You Freaking Care,” available at Amazon and Walmart, $11.13

“Friendship Maintenance” adds a more personal touch to the frequent check-ins you’re probably already having with one another. The witty postcards weave in themes of friendship in a hilariously relatable way.

A tie-dye kit

Just My Style Tie-Dye Kit, available at Amazon and Walmart, from $7.99

Tie-dye has made a resurgence. They’ll appreciate this affordable tie-dye kit that will provide them with enough dye for up to 12 projects.

A gift card to a popular wine club

Gift Card, available at Winc, from $60

Winc is a personalized wine club — and we think the best one you can belong to. Members take a wine palate profile quiz and then choose from the personalized wine suggestions. Each bottle has extensive tasting notes and serving recommendations online, and the website makes it easy to discover similar bottles. 

The complete series of “Friends”

“Friends: The Complete Series” on Blu-Ray, available at Amazon, Target, and Walmart, from $62.95

Get into the spirit of friendship with this iconic ’90s lineup. Between Ross and Rachel’s timeless romance, the rise of Monica’s dream career, and Joey’s every-episode antics, you’ll both be laughing, crying, and grateful for each other through each season.

A custom note with a surprise inside

Greetabl Gift Box, available at Greetabl, from $13.50

Greetabl is one of the Insider Reviews team’s favorite modes of checking in on those we love. The customizable box includes a fun print, a spot for a personal message, and a selection of a small gift like Sugarfina treats or quirky pins. 

An upgrade to the classic travel pillow

Trtl Neck Support Travel Pillow, available at Amazon and Trltl, $44.99

One of the best gifts for frequent travelers is a genuinely supportive neck pillow. The super-soft fleece of the Trtl holds the neck and head in an ergonomic position during flight, and it’s lightweight — weighing only about half a pound — so it won’t weigh them down.

Read our full review of the pillow here. There’s also a newer, slightly more expensive version that we like just as much. 

A set of the best socks they’ll ever wear

Women’s and Men’s Ankle Sock (4-Pack), available at Bombas, $49.40

Bombas’ ankle socks have extra blister tabs to prevent chafing, a honeycomb arch-support system to cradle the foot’s arch, and a seamless toe that gets rid of the annoying bump that runs across the toes of most socks. Currently, you can save 20% off your first order with code COMFORT20.

A three-month subscription to the book club that put “Gone with the Wind” on the map

Three Month Subscription, available at Book of the Month, $49.99

This subscription gift was handcrafted for bookworms. Book of the Month has been around since 1926, and it’s credited with the discovery of titles like “Gone with the Wind” and “Catcher in the Rye.” A team of experts and celebrity guest judges curate must-read books — usually new releases, hot topics, and debut authors — and send them to the subscriber’s doorstep.

If they’re more into audiobooks or e-reading, check out a gift subscription to Scribd (full review here).

A makeup and skincare subscription

One Month Subscription, available at Birchbox, $15

Birchbox is a skincare and makeup subscription that sends samples of new and cult-favorite products so subscribers can find products they love without committing to buying a full size. It’s also a monthly excuse for them to pamper themselves.

An insulated water bottle that keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 6 hours

Hydro Flask 40 oz. Wide Mouth Water Bottle, available at Hydro Flask, REI, and Amazon, from $49.95

This double-wall and vacuum-insulated stainless steel bottle is especially perfect for commuters who would rather drink hot coffee than room-temperature for 45 minutes on the subway — or any other time. We’re big fans, and it does a pretty incredible job of keeping cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to six hours. 

A gimmicky nail polish holder that they’ll actually wind up using

Tweexy Wearable Nail Polish Holder, available at Amazon and Walmart, $9.99

Finding a convenient spot to place an open bottle of sticky, vibrant, and fast-drying liquid while you paint your nails is not easy. This $10 nail polish holder looks gimmicky, but it’s actually pretty useful. 

A funny adult coloring book

Wine Life: A Snarky Adult Coloring Book, available at Amazon, $5.99

Adult coloring has had a comeback in recent years as a great de-stressor (even Kate Middleton is a fan). It turns out, though, that adult coloring is even more fun with adult beverages. Here’s a book that combines both. 

A brass and wood display box that’s cooler than the average picture frame

Brass & Wood Display Box, available at Artifact Uprising, from $57

Artifact Uprising’s brass and hardwood Display Box is a bit more aesthetically pleasing than the traditional picture frame. They can showcase their favorite picture by sliding it into the front of the box, and the box itself can hold up to 50 five-inch by five-inch Square Prints inside.

If you’re just looking for prints, you can find those starting at $9 here.

A renewing honey mask that warms up while it’s on their face

Farmacy Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask, available at Amazon, Sephora, and Farmacy, $41

This intensely hydrating mask from beauty brand Farmacy is infused with antioxidants to leave the skin looking glowy and plump. It also physically warms up while on the face, so the self-care feels a bit more tangible. 

A silk pillowcase for smoother hair and less breakage

Celestial Silk 100% Silk Pillowcase, available at Amazon and Walmart, from $42.99

This is one of the internet’s hidden gems. It’s nearly $40 on Amazon, but it gives you more silk per square inch than options twice the price at Sephora. It’s made out of 100% Mulberry silk — one of the highest quality silks you can buy — and comes in more than 25 colors and three sizes: standard, queen, and king. It’s the one I personally own, and it makes a big difference for frizzy hair

A non-skid yoga mat towel made by a trusted company

Manduka Yogitoes Yoga Mat Towel, available at Amazon, Manduka, and Dick’s Sporting Goods, from $48.84

Manduka consistently makes some of the best yoga gear on the market, and the cult-favorite Yogitoes mat towels aren’t an exception — they’d probably be the main response if you asked around yoga studios for a mat towel recommendation. They have patented skid-less technology that uses 100% silicone nubs, and it makes a big difference

Each Yogitoes towel is also made from at least eight recycled plastic water bottles, and the dyes used to make it are free of azo, lead, or heavy metal.

A vitamin C serum developed by MIT scientists that keeps selling out

Glow Maker, available at Maelove, $29.95

Maelove is a skincare company founded by a team of MIT grads (skincare obsessives, brain and cancer researchers, and chemical engineers) to make affordable, high-quality skincare accessible. The entire under-$30 line is supposedly great, but this $28 vitamin C serum (which people have likened to the multi-award-winning $166 C E Ferulic Serum) is the real showstopper — and it keeps selling out. I’ve tried it, and it does a great job of reducing hyperpigmentation, hydrating, and adding a “glow” to the skin.

Read our full Maelove review here

A monogrammed leather passport case

Standard Passport Cover, available at Leatherology, $50

For the world traveler, adventure companion, or person who has a lot of places left to see before they’re satisfied, this leather passport cover is one of the best quality for the price you’re bound to find. You can also personalize your gift further with a monogram (starting at an extra $10). Every time they use it, they’ll think of you. 

A super soft $75 cashmere sweater from a sustainable startup

The Essential Cashmere Sweater, available at Naadam, $75

This $75 cashmere sweater is one of the best I’ve worn, and it took me by surprise. You can get it in either crew-neck or V-neck styles, unisex sizing, and 20 colors. The cashmere is one of the softest I’ve felt.

Plus, Naadam is a sustainable startup. They avoid toxic chemicals, invest in sustainable grazing practices, fund better vaccination programs for healthier goats, and use 100% clean energy to power production facilities. By cutting out middlemen, they pay nomadic herders about 50% more and charge about 50% less to customers without changing quality.

A soft, durable pair of slippers they’ll want to live in

UGG Ansley Water Resistant Slipper, available at Nordstrom, UGG, and Zappos, from $99.95

They’re not a new name, but UGG slippers have stuck around for a very good reason: they’re incredibly soft, durable, and made really well. The sole is sturdy enough to withstand walks to the mailbox, and the water-resistant material can take a little gross winter slush on the way there.

If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative, check out Minnetonka — we’re big fans of their mix of price and quality, too.

An award-winning at-home facial

Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial, available at Sephora, Ulta, and Amazon, from $64.94

This now-legendary AHA and BHA at-home “facial” gently resurfaces the skin to remove built-up dead skin cells and reveal brighter, more even skin underneath. It’s also won multiple notable beauty awards, including a Best of Beauty from Allure and Reader’s Choice from InStyle in 2017. For more skincare products, check out the best luxury skincare on Amazon and best gifts from Sephora here.

Popular leggings they can wear anywhere

TechSweat Core 3/4 Leggings, available at Outdoor Voices, $34

It seems like everyone and their best friend is talking about Outdoor Voices leggings, and these are the company’s most sweat-friendly option. 

A mug with a “coffee reading” tarot-inspired theme

Coffee Reading Mug, available at Society6, $16.15

Perfect for the avid coffee drinker or casual fan of the occult, this ceramic mug made by the independent artists of Society6 is a fun — and useful — gift. They’ve also got pretty much every mug pattern you could want.

A cult-favorite sleeping lip mask

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, available at Sephora, Laneige, and Amazon, $24

Laneige’s hyper-popular overnight lip mask smooths and moisturizes with vitamin C and antioxidants. Currently, it has over 14,000 reviews and a rating of 4.4-stars on Sephora. 

A cocktail recipe book that pairs music with good drinks

“Booze & Vinyl: A Spirited Guide to Great Music and Mixed Drinks” by André Darlington, available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble, from $15.99

Have a friend that loves music and a nice cocktail? This pairs both for a perfect combination every time. The guide includes music from 70 albums, ranging from the ’50s to the ’00s, with an accompanying A-side and B-side cocktail for each — all organized by mood. 

A tiny waffle maker

Dash Mini Waffle Maker, available at Target, Amazon, and Bed Bath & Beyond, from $12.49

This mini waffle maker may seem more gimmick than substance, but we found that it actually made evenly and consistently browned waffles. It’s compact for small kitchens and people who only want to make three waffles rather than buffet quantities, and it’s really easy to clean.

A screw-on top that turns a wine bottle into a glass

Guzzle Buddy Wine Bottle Glass, available on Amazon, $17.99

If they’re more of a “one bottle per person” vino drinker, why not cut out the middleman with this twist-on bottle-to-glass helper? 

The personal diary of Frida Kahlo

“The Diary of Friday Kahlo: An Intimate Self-Portrait” by Carlos Fuentes, available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble, from $20.99

In the last 10 years of her life, Friday Kahlo kept a journal full of thoughts, poems, illustrations, and dreams. This is it, and it’s a particularly perfect gift for an artistic or feminist friend. 

A guard to keep away hot, messy splatter

Frywall 10 Splatter Guard, available at Sur La Table, Amazon, and Walmart, from $13.99

A splatter guard gives you the benefit of an uncovered pan, minus the countertop cleaning and dodging of hot, popping oil.

An unobtrusive diffuser that smells great

Asakuki 500 mL Premium Essential Oil Diffuser, Amazon, $25.99

Add atmosphere to their space with our favorite essential oil diffuser, the Asakuki. This diffuser has a 16-hour run time, seven LED light options, and a mist setting. All the features can be controlled with the remote, so they don’t even have to get up to change the mood. 

A beautiful candle that smells amazing

Manor House Weekend Candle, available at Otherland, $36

Otherland is a candle company started by Ralph Lauren’s former art buyer, Abigail Cook Stone. If you want to give your friend a candle that burns for 55 hours, looks beautiful, and comes from an up-and-coming startup that they’ve probably seen (or coveted) before, this is a great option.

Read our full Otherland review here.

A Tile with a replaceable battery to help them find missing keys and wallets

Tile Pro, available at Amazon, Target, and Walmart, $34.99

Luxurious bodycare products

Nécessaire The Body Wash, available at Sephora, Nordstrom, and Amazon, from $25

Nécessaire is a line of body care products that uses vitamins and plant-based oils. It was founded by Randi Christiansen, a former Estée Lauder vice president, and Nick Axelrod, a co-founder of Into the Gloss, the editorial site that preceded Glossier.

A box of gourmet milk and dark chocolate
