GIFT GUIDE — The cool friend who has everything, including good taste.
We all have that friend. The one who doesn’t need anything, always sports fun accessories, doesn’t follow the trends…yet always looks so cool?! She’s intimidating to buy for because you just know you’re going to love anything she gifts to you. Here at CAVE we know those girls, we love those girls, and we’ve put together a fool-proof gift guide — spanning all budgets —to make sure you win the holidays this year.
1 // Every person needs a trinket bowl and this one easily doubles as a sculptural piece. Place it on an entryway console as a key drop zone or style it on your coffee table full of collected matchbooks.
2 // What’s more chic than a bowl of your own custom matchbooks? Gift a pack of thoughtfully designed matches that her guests can steal on their way out.
3 // Glass coasters are next level. We love these little blobs for protecting your friends coffee table during your next girls night in.
4 // If your friend loves to cook, this cool (and delectable) bottle of flavorful olive oil will look so chic sitting on her counter. This is also makes a killer hostess gift to bring to a dinner party if your friend doesn’t drink (and let’s be honest…she doesn’t need one. more. candle.)
5 // A bathroom tray that looks good from angle for wrangling every step of her extensive skincare routine.
6 // If your friend is an art collector, gift her something that she doesn’t already have…a custom hand-painted sign. Get creative here…But some ideas to get to started — her nickname, the year you guys met, a short inside joke, etc.
7 // Customize this tote with embroidered icons of inside jokes, her zodiac sign, good luck charms, things that remind you of her, etc. We love a personalized gift and no one can ever have enough totes (thats actually a fact).
8 // Help your bestie stash her secrets in plain sight with these cool canisters. She can hide her candy stash from her husband or stuff them with tampons on the bathroom counter. Possibilities are endless.
9 // Does your mom-friend need an emotional pick-me-up? We love this beautiful coffee table book full of inspiring stories of moms who are making it in the world.
10 // This giant scarf is a mega splurge but we love it for it’s multi-purpose. Add it to any outfit to immediately elevate your look, drape it over the back of your sofa as a blanket, or throw it in your carry-on for a cozy international flight.
11 // Speaking of international flights…We can’t all afford to fly our bestie to Milan for a proper getaway…so this ultra-cozy sweatshirt will have to do the trick. You guys can sip spritzes on the sofa together in your sweatshirts and take a little mental vacation for the evening.
12 // This sleek mixed metal desk pad for jotting down notes during meetings is so sexy it can always stay out.
13 // The brighter the better we say. Get your girl a sweater that matches her aura. Oh, and this one is super soft and goes with anything and everything.
14 // A women on the go has no time to dig around in a deep, dark Mary Poppins bag. This clear cosmetics case (with a fun pop of color) can be used to tote around literally anything, and its big compartments and easy access makes it a great choice for a no-fuss girl.
15 // This bakeware set is so sleek (and non-toxic!). Did your friend just move into a new apartment? Buy her first house? Finally dump that lame ex-boyfriend and move out of his gross condo? This is a fun way to gift a fresh start.
16 // For your clean-freak friend with toddlers. She can throw this powerful little sucker in her cup holder to collect crumbs on the go.
17 // Friends don’t let friends roam around unprotected. What’s a better way to say “I love you” than gifting her this ultra-loud siren with a flashing strobe light to deter an attack. My super hot bestie getting kidnapped?? Not on my watch.
18 // Now that the sun sets basically in the middle of the day (thanks daylight savings time), this little glowing bread lamp — made of real bread — will brighten her desk as she takes her Zoom meetings in the dark of the night…at 4pm.
19 // Not sure that this one needs much explanation…get this perfect little throw pillow for your girlfriend who’s on the same page.
20 // And lastly, this hand cream (that we keep in our nightstand and apply right before bed) is such a perfect little spa vacation in a tube. The scent is subtle and luxurious, the cream is thick and soothing, and the added CBD relaxes tired muscles and sends you straight to lala land.
Happy gifting, friends!
