Gift Ideas for Your BFF

Platonic relationships deserve love too. When times are tough, we turn to our friends for support, and that care is worth celebrating. Here are a few of our favourite ways to say, "thank you for being a friend". Kinto Unitea Unimug With a removable filter basket, the Unitea Unimug makes it easy to enjoy a delightful cup of tea any time of day. Just add your favourite loose leaf tea (we’re partial to Love Tea's delicious chai) and pour in hot water to brew an aromatic cuppa with next-to-no fuss. Your bestie will treasure this teapot, and think of you every time they break out the oolong. Check out the Unitea Unimug at Milligram MiGoals Gratitude Journal You're thankful for your friend, but what are they thankful for? Taking the time to reflect on the good parts of life is a wonderful way to shake off grey moods, and generally feel more at-ease with your lot in life. And regular journaling has lots of benefits, from sharpening your writing skills to reinforcing your memory. So if your friend is a budding creative, or is looking for a bit of perspective, MiGoals' Gratitude Journal is a gift they'll really be thankful for.

The Inner Carry Bag is the perfect example, with an understated style that suits just about every outfit while being an impeccably functional carry option that's durable and positively packed with pockets.

Made from ABS plastic, the safari features an ergonomic grip that makes writing feel like a breeze. We’re fans of the transparent model, but the safari range comes in every imaginable colour from deep black to bright pink to deep red. Or take your present to the next level with one of the safari Gift Box Sets, and set your friend up with extra ink too. For beginners and experts alike, the Safari is a high-quality writing instrument that will make your friend feel like some sort of duke, or possibly an earl.

So even if your bestie is living in a veritable jungle, picking up a tasteful bit of greenery and giving it a stylish planter is a sure-fire gift-giving hit. Kinto's range of plant pots are subtle and refined, as we've come to expect from the elegant Japanese brand, while Arcadia Scott's hand-thrown planters bring a lovely, earthy warmth in some gorgeous colours, so you'll find just the right one to delight your friend. Check out our indoor garden range featuring planters from Kinto and Arcadia Scott Ceramics The School of Life’s Phone Detox We’ve all got a friend who’s a little too obsessed with their phone. Or maybe your friend has Notification Fatigue, and needs a break. Help them rediscover the world outside the screen with the Phone Detox from The School of Life. Unlike Google’s Paper Phone, the Phone Detox isn’t a cardboard substitute for your phone made by the same people who designed them to be addictive in the first place. Instead, the Phone Detox offers thought-provoking thoughts on play, work-life balance and the grandeur of nature in a pocket-friendly, phone-sized flipbook you can reach for instead of opening Insta again. Phones are a critical part of our lives, but most of us could do with a bit of a relationship reset between us and our notification tray.

Check out the Cool Cat enamel pin from Carolyn Suzuki Orbitkey Cactus Leather Key Organiser Keyrings are awful. Jingly, inelegant, clumsy – it was a situation desperately in need of fixing, and Orbitkey knocked it out of the park with their slim, stylish and impeccably designed Key Organiser. The Cactus Leather takes their already-excellent keyring alternative to new heights, with a plant-based material that's made from actual cactus. Desserto Cactus Leather is strong, durable, water-resistant and soft, made without the need for nasty chemicals that some leather alternatives rely on. But more importantly, the Cactus Leather key organiser is just stunning – the Cactus Green version, in particular, is a gorgeous colour and texture that we want to see more of in the world. Your friend's keys will thank you. Check out the Cactus Leather Key Organiser Honestly, BFFs don’t get the credit they deserve, but you can change that with these exciting, eye-catching gift ideas. Show your friends how much they mean to you with a thoughtful gift, and make your friendship even stronger. Didn’t find quite the right thing? Check out the rest of our range at Milligram
