On her 8th birthday, I got her a \u201cbest friends\u201d necklace. You might remember the kind. It was actually two necklaces, connected by one heart, that you could split in half and share. To this day, we both still have our halves, even if they are a bit weathered from time. That\u2019s the great thing about<a href=\"\/blog\/2017\/06\/15\/diy-thoughtful-gifts-for-your-best-friend-to-celebrate-friendship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> bday gift ideas for your best friend<\/a>\u2014even if what you gave them cost nothing more than a few dollars, they\u2019ll cherish those gifts forever.<\/p>\n<p>You really can\u2019t go wrong when you\u2019re looking for a birthday gift for your bestie. After all, you probably know them as well as they know themselves! But sometimes, you run into a situation where it feels like your best friend already has <i>everything<\/i>. If you\u2019ve known them long enough, chances are you\u2019ve gone through a lot of gifts, which might leave you feeling a bit stumped. When looking for birthday gifts for your best friend, it might help to seek out items like my \u201cbest friends\u201d necklace that hold special significance for the two of you. My advice is to focus on the meaning behind the gift rather than the gift itself.<\/p>\n<h4>Giving Your Best Friend a Meaningful Gift<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9734\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9734\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9734\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/il_570xN.1117804219_3ayx-min-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Topaz represents friendship.\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/il_570xN.1117804219_3ayx-min-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/il_570xN.1117804219_3ayx-min-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/il_570xN.1117804219_3ayx-min-270x270.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/il_570xN.1117804219_3ayx-min.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9734\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Topaz represents friendship. | Image courtesy Etsy seller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/474826658\/personalized-sunflower-necklace-topaz?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=topaz%20friendship%20necklace&amp;ref=sr_gallery-1-13&amp;source=aw&amp;utm_source=affiliate_window&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=us_location_buyer&amp;awc=6220_1522354389_a0ee9c59242197ca022efaafd30048c0&amp;utm_content=256677\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LuckyUCharms<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Giving a meaningful gift to your best friend doesn\u2019t require being quite as on the nose as my \u201cbest friends\u201d necklace was. There are a lot of ways to give an item that celebrates your friendship without literally spelling it out, after all. Items we give as gifts on a regular basis often have a hidden meaning that you can use to add depth to your present.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of my favorite gift ideas for best friends:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Gemstones: <\/b>Many gems, including low-cost ones, represent friendship. Topaz, garnet, turquoise, and lapis lazuli are all relatively cost-effective gems that are traditionally believed to symbolize positive platonic connections. Consider getting one set in a necklace or bracelet to celebrate your friendship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9735\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9735\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9735 size-medium\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/il_570xN.1280009101_l0fb-min-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"A flower print or photo.\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/il_570xN.1280009101_l0fb-min-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/il_570xN.1280009101_l0fb-min-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/il_570xN.1280009101_l0fb-min-270x270.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/il_570xN.1280009101_l0fb-min.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9735\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A flower print can also symbolize your connection. | Image courtesy Etsy seller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/526814694\/botanical-print-hybrid-yellow-rose-print?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=yellow%20rose%20print&amp;ref=sr_gallery-1-29&amp;source=aw&amp;utm_source=affiliate_window&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=us_location_buyer&amp;awc=6220_1522354387_c60f9e8b270c738cd4f029e184e8c15a&amp;utm_content=256677\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ttgbotanicalprints.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Flowers:<\/b> Orange or yellow roses represent friendship, as do zinnias and chrysanthemums. Of course, you don\u2019t have to take this literally and get your friend a live plant or a bouquet. A print or picture works as an excellent alternative, or consider an item of clothing or piece of jewelry with a floral motif.<\/li>\n<li><b>Colors: <\/b>Choosing colors in the friendship palette can offer a good alternative to relying on your best friend\u2019s favorite color. Colors like orange, yellow, and green represent harmony, love, and positive energy in relationships, while blue and purple symbolize trust and stability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Simple symbolism is a wonderful way to evoke friendship in your gift. Choose items that take those friendship elements into account, and you\u2019re sure to have an easy time coming up with some bday gift ideas for your best friend.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019ve run over the list and you\u2019re still stuck for ideas, a gift registry can be a useful tool.<\/p>\n<h4>Using a Registry to Get Bday Gift Ideas for Your Best Friend<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9737\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9737\" style=\"width: 270px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9737\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/il_570xN.1476419183_6vdr-min-300x222.jpg\" alt=\"Use the color yellow when giving gifts to your best friend.\" width=\"270\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/il_570xN.1476419183_6vdr-min-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/il_570xN.1476419183_6vdr-min-365x270.jpg 365w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/il_570xN.1476419183_6vdr-min.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9737\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yellow is a great color for representing friendship. | Image courtesy Etsy Seller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/579845568\/yellow-big-infinity-scarf-french-fleece?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=yellow%20scarf&amp;ref=sr_gallery-1-10&amp;source=aw&amp;utm_source=affiliate_window&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=us_location_buyer&amp;awc=6220_1522354384_2f590f9608497c9a9d6d4c6d8bb8311f&amp;utm_content=256677\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ApRTCreations<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The great part of having a best friend is that your relationship is close enough for you to just ask for what you want and vice versa.

Instead, look for a registry that allows you to add gifts from anywhere, using multiple methods like direct links, text requests, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/wish\/browser-button\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">built-in browser buttons<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><b>Allow for simple tracking:<\/b> You don\u2019t want your best friend getting duplicate gifts, so make sure they use a registry that lets you keep track of who\u2019s getting what.
