Swig’s Gift Guide For Friends

Posted on

Best friends are like guardian angels. They are there to celebrate your little and big wins, share remarkable moments with you, and cheer you up when you’re low. Plain and simple: best friends come through for you always.


There’s no better way to show your bestie how much you care than with a gift this holiday season.

For some friends, a gift card will do. But for your BFF—you want to be intentional, thoughtful, and personal. Here at Swig, we know that’s way harder than it sounds! 


Thankfully, we’ve compiled a holiday gift guide for friends sure to deliver that perfect present. 


Get reading, get inspired, and get that gift your friend won’t stop talking about for a long time!


Swig’s Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide for Friends 


1. Trendy Jacket or Sweater

These days, the weather’s quite unpredictable. One moment, the sun may be out to play, the next, thick clouds begin to appear. A stylish jacket or sweater is a perfect holiday gift sure to come in handy during the cold season. Whenever they step out in it, they’ll always think of you.

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. 


A stack of books


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!”

These sweat-friendly stretchy pants are just as perfect as they look—plus, their quality material makes sure your gift keeps on giving long into the future. OV leggings go for anywhere from $78 to $88.

We rank this as the best functional gift out there: a portable charger/power bank ($30, Anker). 


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.

You can schedule a cooking class at a location you can both physically attend. Or better yet, get a chef over for an in-house private demo. 


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).
