The greatest love of your life doesn’t always have to be founded on romance. Case in point: Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King, Michelle Williams and Busy Philipps, and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. (Does anyone really know their significant others?) These platonic couples have gone through makeups and breakups, career highs and lows, and raised children alongside each other. They’ve formed palpable bonds that are based on shared interests and mutual respect—something many of us can relate to.
This
Valentine’s Day gift, celebrate your confidant, your ride-or-die chick, your gal who is as close to being a blood sister as it gets. She’s been there for you through and through, and deserves a little TLC on a day that is all about the mushy stuff.
Just remember that she knows you better than most. So it would be wise to reciprocate that sentiment and get her something she would absolutely adore. If you need help picking just the right gift, we’ve curated a selection based on different personalities that will surely show her why you’re not just friends, you’re best friends.
The Fashionista
We here know a thing or two about the power that a great garment or accessory can elicit—the way a fashion show can cause a swell of emotion. And if your friend worshipped Carrie Bradshaw and follows the runway collections as intensely as we do, she will fall head over heels for this selection of designer duds, from a carryall seen on every street-style star to the boots that commanded the catwalk. Pro tip: Get her a gift in its original packaging—because, for her, labels matter.

The Gourmand
Does she have Parmigiano-Reggiano and Fromager d’Affinois tucked into her fridge? Is her goal in life to eat at every Michelin-starred restaurant? This means that you have a friend with very discerning taste buds. And as any foodie knows, a given dish (in her case, beef Bourguignon or kare-kare) is only as good as the way it is prepared. Essentially, only the best pots, pans, and cutlery will do.

The Fitness Fiend
The phrase Walk a mile in her shoes doesn’t apply to this friend. That’s because running is more her speed. And if she’s not training for a marathon, she’s probably at SLT or going to her next ClassPass session. Her wardrobe is primarily made up of athleisure, and her bag has all the things necessary for a spur-of-the-moment jog. So get her a gift that will surely make her heart race.
