When choosing a gift for your best friend, pick something that's personalized to them and what they like. Here are a few thoughful gift ideas:

A framed picture of you and your friend together
A box of their favorite tea, sweets, or coffee
Fancy soaps or body scrubs if they like to pamper themselves
A travel pillow or personalized luggage tag if they like to travel
Clothes that fit their personal style if they're a fashionista
A craft kit or paint-by-numbers set if they're artsy
A plant or flowers if they like to garden
Tickets to a concert or sporting event
A charm bracelet with meaningful charms about your friendship
A gift card to their favorite store or coffee shop

When you're thinking of good gift ideas for your best friend, try to remember anything they have mentioned wanting in the past weeks, or anything else they've had their eye on. Be mindful of things that they say because you can get them something you know they'll actually like.

I personally would give MY best friend a thing of flowers with maybe something sweet on the side, NOT in a gay or romantic way.. People should NORMALIZE giving your best friends things that may not appease social norms but still indicate AFFECTION. I personally would never develop ANY type of 'feelings' or whatever towards my best friend since I'm not gay and such. Not that there's anything WRONG with being gay though, hah.. hahah.
