You and your bestie know everything about each other. You throw each other the best birthday parties. You cheer each other up after a breakup. And some of you #GirlBosses out there even start companies together. But no matter how close you are, sometimes it can be hard to pick out that perfect gift for your closest gal (or guy!) pal. Whether your bestie is an avid foodie, traveler or DIY master, here are 25 gifts anyone would totally want to receive.
1. For the Foodie: If your bestie is the type who always invites you over for over-the-top dinner parties, these Foodie Dice ($24) will satisfy her appetite for the perfect gift.
