17 of the Greatest Birthday Gifts to Give to Your Creative Best Friend

Birthday Gift Ideas for Best Friend

The closer you are to someone, the harder they can be to shop for. Take your best friend, for instance. Picking the perfect gift for someone that you know so well can be a big challenge. You might have the perfect thing to say when they've had a bad day, but selecting a thoughtful gift leaves you feeling completely blank. If you’re in this tricky situation, let My Modern Met Store help with our collection of birthday gifts ideas for your best friend.

Need a place to start? Take a gander at wearable gifts. When in doubt, you can never go wrong with accessories that will spice up your friend's wardrobe. From the one-of-a-kind Azure Falls Ring ($179) to quirky enamel pins ($12.50+), you can splurge on a single item or buy multiple gifts at a lower price-point and put them in one super package. (Who doesn’t love that?)

If your bestie is someone who seems to have everything, finding the perfect present will have you on a hunt. With our unique gifts, however, you should have no problem discovering items that even the most hardcore shopaholics haven’t seen before. The Supergal Bookend ($27.50) by Artori Design is a clever way to keep your best friend organized with a Marvel-esque twist. And for something that is truly one-of-a-kind, look to the Large Geode Jigsaw Puzzle ($95). Created by the design studio Nervous System, the computer-generated puzzle features a maze-like pattern with non-uniform, contorted shapes that makes each piece completely original. It’s certain to be the most challenging jigsaw your friend will ever solve.
