Gifts for Friends

Want to get your friends something memorable for the holidays this year? Look no further, folks. These gift ideas for friends vary from memorable to funny to functional and a few other things as well. Whether you need best friend gift ideas, gifts for that special co-worker or anything else in between, there’s definitely something here for them.

Finding great Christmas gifts for friends is one of my favorite things during the holidays. I’m always about a funny gift for them, but I also love meaningful, just because or unique gifts that only they would appreciate.

This list of gift ideas for friends is a big mix of all those types of gifts. On top of that, these gifts range from $5 – $50, so there is truly something here for every budget.

Some brands provided products for inclusion in this gift guide. However, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience. Click here to read my full disclosure policy.

Christmas Gift Ideas for Friends

Funny Gifts for Friends

Gifts for Friends

Jesus and Germs Soap Dispenser

Truth. They everywhere, y’all. Give them a blessing every time they go to wash their hands with this humorous soap dispenser. It’s only $15 – I’m willing to bet you’ll find some other great gifts from the store I found this little gem at as well.

Funny Gifts for Friends

Golden Girls Windshield Sun Shade

The gift that gives only your BFF a good laugh, but everyone that comes near their car on a hot sunny day. I feel like this might become a backdrop for many selfies as well.

Gift Ideas for Friends

The Funniest Candles You’ve Ever Seen

Hands down, one of the funniest gifts I’ve ever purchased. I came across these candles last year at a local store and probably stood in front of them for an hour reading every one of them and trying to decide which was best for a couple of my friends. And yes, these candles do actually smell really good – they aren’t just funny.

Funny Gifts for Friends

Golden Girl Altar Candles


I mean folks, it’s all the Golden Girls on altar candles. Do I need to elaborate? I think not. You can get this set of all four GGs for $38 – keep one for yourself and give the other three to your three best friends. Picture it. Christmas. 2018. <—See what I did there. If you didn’t, we can’t be friends. #sorrynotsorry

I adore a beautiful umbrella and I think they are always a great gift to give. This swam umbrella will even stand on it’s own.

Met Trinket Box

I think a sweet little trinket box is always a great gift to give – especially one as unique as this! It celebrates art from the one and only MET and New York City.

This cat bookmark makes a great unique gift for those cat lovers on your list or even those who are interested in Egyptian art, as this bookmark is based off an ancient Egyptian sculpture.

These fantastic little pens are – wait for it – a whopping $5. These are great gifts for friends, co-workers, teachers and make great stocking stuffers for kids too! The detail on these is very impressive.

Mikasa Palazzo Vase

Maybe it’s the Southern girl in me, or my love of fresh flowers, but personally, I don’t think you can ever go wrong with gifting a great vase. And that’s exactly what this one is – along with a great price!

No Fail Gifts for Friends

Gold Feather Frame

I think the same is true of a good picture frame. These always make a great gift and especially in an age where most of our photos live in our phone – we need to print those out and enjoy them more!
