Finding the perfect gift for your best friend can be tough if she already has everything. Or, at least, it may seem like she has everything – but you’ll always be able to find something that will put a smile on her face.
It’s not necessarily that easy, though, and especially not if you’ve been friends for a while and already gone through the most popular gift options.
Here is a handful of slightly more unusual gifts for your best friend so that you can rest assured you’ve found something she’s going to love. That way, you’re also raising the standard for what she feels like she should get for your birthday, you know.

An adventure gift
Who wouldn’t love to go on an adventure with their best friend? While most of us keep talking about it and hoping that maybe sometime in the future, you’ll be able to go on an adventure of a lifetime, very few of us are able to actually do it.
There is always so much to get done and the money never seems to get you anywhere at all. This year, however, you can start by heading off on a weekend away; pick her favorite city, for example, or just somewhere you always wanted to go, and treat her to a plane ticket.
It may be difficult for you to sponsor the whole trip, though, but you can try to make it easier for her in other ways. Let her SO know about your plans, for example, and let him or her make sure that she doesn’t have any plans that specific weekend.
Now, all you have to do is pick the date, book those tickets, and look forward to the moment when you get to surprise her. It’s kind of a shame that we only have birthdays once a year, isn’t it?

Jewellery
Receiving jewellery from your best friend is such a great feeling because you know that, firstly, it truly means something – and, secondly, she can keep it forever as the two of you will never break up.
Necklaces and jewellery from boyfriends, on the other hand, tend to get stored away as the relationship withers, and it’s actually such as waste of good accessories. Try to find something that means something to her, such as birthstones or a gemstone that goes with her zodiac, for example.
You know her style better than anyone, in anyway, so it should be easy enough for you to find something that will make her sparkle. You could get something that’s a bit less costly but equally charming as well, though, such as another type of accessory.

Clothes in general
Sure, buying clothes may sound like a bit of a boring gift, but hear me out; receiving it is actually great because you know that the person who bought it thinks that it will look good on you. It’s instant validation, and she will definitely feel confident while wearing it.
Another point to buying clothes as a gift is that you might be able to find something fantastic that she wouldn’t have considered buying for herself. That way, you’re introducing her to an entirely different style and may even expand her fashion horizon, so to speak, with this simple gift.
Try to find something that’s slightly high-quality, though, so that she can keep it for as long as possible. Party wear is a good idea, such as a nice dress – that way, she knows what to wear the next time you head out to paint the town red.

A spa day
If you haven’t treated her to the classic best friend gift of going to a spa together, now is your perfect chance. There are multiple benefits to this one since you also get to treat yourself to a nice day out; undoubtedly, it would be a bit boring if you only got a day at the spa for her instead of the two of you.
A part of the gift is, of course, that you get to spend time together and relax without having to think about anything than catching up and chatting. If you send her off alone, it’s not really the same kind of gift.
If you’re not sure about what she would enjoy at the spa, you can always fish around a bit before booking the appointment – or just get the standard deal such as a massage and a facial.

Concert tickets
Having fun together is a part of what makes your friendship so great – and, if you have the same taste in music, you should definitely treat her to concert tickets. This depends on the artists that plan on visiting your city, though, and if there are no big headlines coming up in the next couple of weeks, you may want to consider heading off to another city.
Consider what works for you and your budget, and try to find something that you know she will enjoy. There’s little point in buying concert tickets to a show she’s not interested in as you won’t really be able to just hang out and enjoy each other’s company in the middle of all the music.
As long as you give her as much of your time as possible, she will definitely be happy for anything you give her.
