Swig’s Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide for Friends
1. Trendy Jacket or Sweater
Depending on the brand and style, prices can range between $25-$100.
2. Fun Reusable Water Bottle
An insulated stainless steel water bottle or tumbler is the perfect gift for your friend that likes their coffee warm, or their cocktails cold. Or, maybe they just need a great, long-lasting water bottle to stay hydrated.
This drinkware is available in a bunch of fun colors and patterns, and are customized to fit into your friend’s lifestyle (or fashion style). You can get these products for $20-$40.
3. The Latest Bestseller Book
If your BFF is the ultimate bookworm, why not gift them a bestseller this holiday. It could be a hardcover or limited edition of one of their favorites, or a new read they’ve always wanted to add to their bookshelf.
Try supporting small businesses by shopping local! Find an independent bookstore near you with this site. Depending on the book and version, this gift will typically go for $20-$45.
4. Beautiful Coffee Mug
Coffee person? Morning person? Mug-cake kind of person? If this sounds like your best friend, a coffee mug is the perfect gift to fit into their lifestyle. Swig’s collection of travel and at-home mugs are a great, durable present for your friend this year. Our wide range of colors and styles means your sure to find a mug that screams “that’s perfect for them!”

9. Book a cooking class
What better gift to give than an experience? Try booking a cooking class for both you and your friend to attend, and get ready for laughter and memories to last a lifetime.

10. Allbirds Wool Runners
What’s better than fashion-forward, comfort-forward footwear? Maybe the fact that they’re also machine washable (!!).Your best friend is bound to love these breathable sneaks from Allbirds ($95).
