Christmas Gifts for the BFF Who “Doesn’t Want Anything”

Christmas, the season of joy and giving, is just around the corner. We all love to receive presents that come with much thought, and that makes us appreciate our BFF when they know what we want best. On the other hand, have you ever encountered problems buying a Christmas gift for that one particular BFF who doesn’t want anything? That’s indeed a first-world problem we have. We have segmented these BFFs according to their personalities. There’s one for everyone! Here are some of the best Christmas gifts for your best friend:

Christmas Gift for the Earth-Loving BFF

This dear friend is THE real-life Captain Planet, who loves going green and is on a rampage to reduce air pollution by commuting to work via cycling or even walking. You enjoy spending time with this BFF as she reminds you of looking at the bigger picture of embracing Mother Nature before Earth gets devoured, which may lead to nothing left for our next generation. It’s hard to think of great Christmas gifts as she does not want anything to be left unusable or that cannot be recycled. An organic herb garden basket might do the trick to appease her. Apart from the advantage of growing her food, herbal plants undergo photosynthesis to cleanse and purify the air. She will thank you for this great BFF Christmas gift.

Christmas Gift for the Powerhouse BFF

We all have that one best friend who is a high achiever in her career and a dedicated provider for her family. A beautiful woman inside and out, she maintains poise even when being challenged with the most complex tasks. She already has everything that she wants in life. However, having to juggle multiple roles and excel at the same time is no easy feat; she appreciates a good Christmas gift that keeps her on her toes. Good quality brewed coffee gives her days a great kickstart, hence a trendy capsule coffee maker should do the trick. Choose a pretty-looking one so it looks too irresistible not to make that cuppa. Let her indulge in that daily coffee dose and bring on that powerhouse personality!

Christmas Gift for the Easily Stressed Out BFF

This friend is the type who screams for help when they see an ant crawling over their sleeve, the one who cries when they discover a chipped nail right before a job interview. There’s a silver lining to hanging out with these BFFs, for they make good party or gathering coordinators, ensuring that even the most minor details are executed accurately and make it 100% perfect. It’s time for this BFF to sit back, relax and enjoy every moment of life! A spa gift card is one of the few ideal Christmas gift ideas to give her a pampering experience. She will be even more grateful if the spa gift card is from a renowned luxury spa. She can choose any treatment she wants, be it a relaxing massage or a refreshing beauty facial.

Christmas Gift for the Long Distance BFF
