Friendship Day is fast approaching, and with it comes the dilemma of choosing what to gift.
Of course, as traditions go, a friendship bracelet can be an endearing symbol of your companionship – but if you want to take it up a notch for your adult best friends, then you need to dig a little deeper.
But unless they shamelessly hand you their wishlist (no shame among besties), then finding a gift that appeals to their taste and mature sensibilities can prove to be a bit difficult.
Not to worry, though, this curated list compiles a series of quality gifts that your besties are bound to love. Read on to discover more.
Top Friendship Day Gifting Options (2025)
From functional to fun, this list has a little something for everyone.
- Home Decor
You know that transition, when you stop getting excited about accessories & clothes, and start obsessing over beautiful home decor? That’s adulthood.
If your friend’s Pinterest is filled with moodboards of aesthetic home decor, their conversations begin and end with how they’d like to redecorate their dream homes – then take that cue and run with it.
Splendid God idols for the living rooms or a striking lamp for their bedside tables, home decor items are the best way to sneak into their homes & hearts.
- Premium Kitchenware
Just like home decor, adulthood will have you drooling over a beautiful plate instead of the food served in it.
And when you combine their beauty with health benefits, you land on brass & copper kitchenware.
Vintage, aesthetic & infused with medicinal benefits, a set of antique brass thali or an engraved copper water bottle makes for the perfect thoughtful and stylish friendship day gift.
- Organisers
Gone are the days of filthy and cluttered rooms; the mark of a well-organised adult is how well they can store and organise their things.
A multi-functional organiser for their office desks or side tables will help ease their burden of cleaning & give them time to focus on other important tasks.
But if you want to go even further, a desk organiser that doubles as a stylish table accessory – like a chic Multipurpose Wooden Caddy – will definitely win you their smiles.
- Tech Gadgets
From a pair of Bluetooth earphones to a reliable portable charger, tech gadgets have become one of the best utilitarian gifts ever, period.
And chances are, your friends are also harbouring a secret list of gadgets they want to buy, but are overthinking their decision too much.
Your best bet would be to gift something that adds an irreplaceable value to their lives, like a super handy Garment Steamer or Scalp Massage Comb to take away their stress.
- Car Accessories
Some of the most thoughtful and practical gifts out there are car accessories.
From sturdy phone mounts to car adapters, we’re pretty sure that your friend is also quietly planning a few upgrades of their own.
That’s why gifting something that enhances their daily drives, even something as simple & beautiful as thoughtful car dashboard accessories, might just make you their favorite passenger for life.
- Gift Cards
When in doubt, always go with cash. And no, we don’t mean a shagun ka lifafa.
If your friend has a super-picky personality or you’re just deeply unsure about what they would like, a gift card from their favorite place to shop is the ultimate solution.
This way, you can be assured that your gift will actually be something your friends enjoy.
Pro-tips to make your friend feel loved
They say the best gifts are the ones that reflect genuine love and effort. And they are not wrong. The following are ways you can make your friends feel even special on Friendship Day.
- Quality time
With the unstoppable pace of adulthood, it’s easy to lose sight of your connections. Your priorities change, and because of that, sometimes your friendships become neglected.
And so the best gift for Friendship Day, without a doubt, is quality time. Whether spent inside or at a dinner date outside, nothing beats the wholesome hours spent laughing, venting & gossiping together.
Fun Fact: Spending time with friends doesn’t just feel good, but is good for your health, as it helps reduce stress significantly.
- A Sweet Note
Deep companionship rarely ever needs verbal confirmation. It’s evident through actions and intentions.
Even so, once in a while, receiving an affirmation from your friends that they love you and that you matter can be incredibly heartwarming.
So go ahead, quash the shyness and doodle out a few words of affection for your friends. Trust us, they’ll cherish them forever.
- Run Errands
The burdens of adulthood are heavy. The list of things to do and accomplish keeps piling up, with only two days in the week to attend to them.
But friendship is through thick and thin.
And if your goal is to make your friends’ lives easier, then nothing works better than scratching a few tasks off their to-do list.
On a sweet note
Friendships are perhaps one of the sweetest bonds we ever forge.
They aren’t bound together by blood like families, but they find a way to make their connection unbreakable through good intentions & support.
For that, they deserve to feel appreciated & Friendship Day becomes the opportunity to do just that.
So log off your devices, stop your doom-scroll & give your friends a phone call – because life is infinitely better with them in it.
