34 best birthday gifts for her!

1. Slippers:

Are these not the cutest slippers ever!? These fuzzy slippers are perfect for relaxing or working around the house. They can even be worn outside too.

Any girl would love to receive such a cozy item!

2. Initial Necklace

I bought an initial necklace like this one for my roommate (I bought it in rose gold) for Christmas and she loved it. I was really impressed with its quality since it was so inexpensive!

It also came in a super cute box! This necklace is definitely one of the best birthday gifts for her!

3. Cozy Gift Basket:

This gift idea is so cute! I love the idea of putting together a basket full of cozy gifts like a fuzzy blanket, socks, candles, a mug, etc.

I don’t know about you, but I would love to receive a basket full of these things so I bet whoever your shopping for would too!

Want to make a cozy gift basket to give someone? All you need is a basket and some cute gifts. Wrap the finished basket in cellophane and tie a ribbon around it to make it even cuter!

4. Makeup Organizer & New Makeup:

I saw a lot of cute gift basket ideas on Pinterest but didn’t see any makeup ones. It would be so cute to buy your friend a makeup organizer and fill it up with some new makeup and makeup supplies.

Then, you can wrap the organizer in clear cellophane and tie a bow around it. If your friend is going to college in the fall, I’m sure she will love having the organizer to store all of her makeup in as well!

ps. I bought the Aesthetic beauty sponge below and it is amazing! The quality is amazing for how cheap the sponge is. Also, the telescopic mascara below is my all-time favorite mascara!

5. Leggings

I love getting new leggings because I wear them so often!

My favorite leggings are from American Eagle. They are really good quality and not too expensive. I wear a size medium in their leggings.

Lulu Lemon leggings are also super popular and last a long time! I have never tried them, but all of a lot of my friends say that their leggings are amazing!

6. Personalized Bracelet:

I received both of the bracelets above as gifts, and I love them! A personalized bracelet is the perfect birthday gift to give someone you care about because you can engrave it with a message that is meaningful to both of you.

You can also buy yourself a matching one so that you have friendship bracelets. The first bangle bracelet below can be engraved on the outside with any message.

The second bracelet says, “Not Sisters by Blood But Sisters by Heart,” which I think is such a cute saying! I also really like the last two bracelets below because they are friendship Alex and Anis.

I have the blue friendship arrow Alex and Ani below and love wearing it.

7. Cute Ring:

Rings can make a super cute birthday gift! One of my favorites is the Pura Vida wave ring because it is adorable and makes me want to go to the beach.

8. Pop-socket Wallet

I absolutely LOVE this product! Before I went to college I knew I would need a place to keep my student ID card and other important cards.

I debated with myself whether it would be acceptable to just buy a phone wallet and stick a pop socket to the back of it. But then I found this product!

It is called a Pop-wallet. There are many different designs and they are really cute!

I would definitely have forgotten my student ID card so many more times in college if I did not have this pop-wallet. It is a great gift idea for any girl who is super busy and always on the go!

9. Straightening Iron

A new straightening iron is always a nice gift idea.

I LOVE my Infinitypro Conair flattening iron. You can probably tell from the picture that mine is starting to chip. That’s because it has been used so many times!

I have used it pretty much every single day for at least 5 years and it still works super well!

I found a beautiful limited edition rose gold version of the same brand/model that would make any girl super happy!

10. New Phone Case

A new phone case is always a nice gift idea. I usually get my phone cases from Tech 21, 5 below, or Amazon.

Look at how cute the cases below are! 🙂

11. Nail Polish

I love nail polish but often times quality nail polish is too expensive for my budget. This is why nail polish makes such an awesome gift!

My favorite nail polish brands are Essie and Sally Hanson no light gel polish. Both of these polishes are super high quality and last a long time.

12. Makeup Bag

Every girl needs a nice makeup bag. I got this Nicole Miller makeup bag from TJ Maxx. I kept all of my everyday makeup in this bag while I was at college and it worked great!

13. Makeup Brushes

New makeup brushes can be a really nice gift! A couple of years ago I was in need of some inexpensive makeup brushes that were still good quality. I found these brushes (all different sizes) on Amazon for under $15. This is a great price for this many brushes.

Unfortunately, I can’t find these brushes on Amazon anymore but I would recommend checking Amazon for makeup brushes before you buy super expensive ones.

These worked really well and there is no reason for you to waste money on brushes unless you’re going to be a professional makeup artist (if you are, you go girl!)

14. Speaker

A portable speaker is an amazing gift. It is always fun to be able to listen to music in your room or around the house louder than on your phone.

It is also fun to have a portable speaker to play music in a dorm room.

I have this OontZ Angle 3 speaker and it is amazing! The sound is super clear and it is pretty inexpensive for the quality.

15. Friends Photo Album/Scrapbook:

When I saw this adorable photo album/scrapbook, I knew that I had to include it in this post!

I love incorporating pictures in gifts because they always make it more meaningful. This is such a thoughtful and personal gift idea. The best part is, it’s super easy and inexpensive to recreate!

Want to recreate this gift idea? All you need is a small black spiral scrapbook, metallic and white markers, some cute washi tape, stickers, and pictures!

This present will show how much you care and will make the birthday girl so happy!

16. Picture Frame:

Any picture frame with a picture of you and your friend would make a perfect gift! I really like the one below because it’s unique and would look super cute in the birthday girl’s room.

Want to recreate this frame idea? All you need is a small white frame, scrabble letters, mini clothespins, some cute stickers, and a picture or two!

I love how this frame uses scrabble letters to spell out Best Friends. I’m sure this gift will make your friend smile.

17. Jewelry Dish

A jewelry dish with a positive message like this Hello Gorgeous one is adorable!

My friend bought me a jewelry dish like the one above for Christmas, and I use it every day. It is nice to have on your desk or nightstand to hold your everyday jewelry.

18. Fuzzy Blanket:

Who doesn’t love a new fuzzy blanket!? I think we can all agree, soft blankets are the best and can make a very nice gift.

This fuzzy blanket looks soooo soft and has amazing reviews on Amazon. People can’t get enough of this blanket!

19. Fuzzy Socks:

Fuzzy socks are the best and always a great gift! My favorite socks are these Aloe infused socks from Earth Therapeutics.

I promise these are literally the softest socks ever and make you feel like your walking on a cloud, haha!

20. New Water Bottle & Stickers:

A new water bottle would make a really nice gift, especially if you decorate it in meaningful stickers before you give it to your friend!

I absolutely love new water bottles! Lately, I have really been loving my super sparrow water bottles! They come in SO many different (and CUTE) colors and sizes. These bottles also keep your drink cold or hot for hours!!

I have one of these bottles that is 350ml in the mint color, another that’s 500ml in emerald green and a 750 ml in frost. I can’t get over how cute and aesthetically pleasing the colors are, haha! (Look at my pics and video to see all the cute colors and sizes!)

I mostly use my bottles for ice-cold water and they keep it cold for hours!!! I am a lifeguard in the summer so I need my water to be cold for long periods of time and this bottle definitely delivers! This bottle will also keep your beverage hot for a while if you want to use it for tea, hot chocolate, or coffee!

This water bottle would be an awesome gift idea!!

Wrap this bottle with clear cellophane & ribbon: You’ll notice throughout this post that my favorite way to wrap gifts is with cellophane and ribbon, haha.

I think gifts look fancier wrapped in cellophane. It’s also super easy to do and will make it look like you put a lot more effort into wrapping than you did.

21. Perfume

I love Bath and Body Works Perfume! My favorite scents are Beautiful Day and A Thousand Wishes.

They smell so good and are my go-to perfumes! I think any of these scents would make a very nice present.

22. Body Lotion

My favorite body lotion is A Thousand Wishes from Bath and Body Works. Lotion is always a really nice gift idea.

23. Bed Rest Pillow

I didn’t have one of these my freshman year of college but both of my roommates had really fuzzy Ugg ones. They make it so much more comfortable to sit on your bed and do work.

I just got one for my birthday and I’m obsessed with it! I think this would make an amazing gift for any girl!

24. Gift Card

Gift cards are always a go-to gift idea! Some gift cards I think girls would love include:

American Eagle- One of my favorite clothing stores!
Lulu Lemon- They have super popular leggings that girls love!
TJ-Maxx/Marshalls/Homegoods- What don’t they have!? Love those stores!
Dunkin Donuts- Perfect for coffee, hot chocolate, donuts, etc.
Starbucks- Perfect for coffee and hot chocolate!
Amazon- My favorite!! Literally millions of products available on Amazon!

25. Journal

Journals are always cute gift ideas. Here are two of my favorite journals.

Journaling is a great stress reliever and a wonderful way to remember important life moments.

26. Book

If the person you are buying a gift for likes reading then a book is a great gift idea!

Two books that I recently got from my Mom are called “Girl, Wash Your Face” and “Girl, Stop Apologizing” written by Rachel Hollis.

Both books are very empowering for women and are really great reads!

Click the pictures to check these books out on Amazon.

27. Mini/Regular Keurig Coffee Maker

I don’t drink coffee but my college roommate bought this mini Keurig for our dorm room and we all really liked it!

My other roommate and I used it to make tea and it worked really well. It would make a great birthday present for anyone who loves coffee or tea!

28. Personalized Mug

This custom best friend coffee mug is adorable! If your friend likes to drink coffee or tea this is a great gift!

29. Cute Room Decorations

Who doesn’t love cute room decorations! My friend gave me a sign with the same saying as the one in the first picture below. I keep it on my dresser and it always makes me smile.

I’m sure a message like that would make your friend so happy! I also love the photo decor below as well.

30. Clothing

I don’t know about you, but I love receiving clothes!

I have the Romwe red top below in a size medium, and it’s very cute! Lululemon leggings are super popular and would make your friend’s day.

I don’t have the blue bikini below, but I think it’s adorable! I also wanted to include a PJ set because I think it’s a cozy gift idea.

31. Shoes

New shoes are also a great gift idea! I wear my black Converse high tops the most, especially in college! They are comfy and stylish.

Other great shoe gift ideas include Doc Martens, Vans, Air Force Ones, LL Bean Boots, LL Bean Moccasins, etc.

32. Air Pods

I was late to the Air-pod craze but I got them this past Christmas and I absolutely love them! I have the Air-pods with the charging case. They are especially perfect for anyone about to go to college.

It is nice to have air-pods in college because you can listen to music and be on your phone without disrupting your roommates.

Air Pods are such a generous gift!

33. Fuzzy Bath Robe

A new fuzzy bathrobe is such a nice gift, especially if your best friend is going to college and is going to be using communal bathrooms!

34. Oil Diffuser

An oil diffuser is an awesome gift idea because it will make your friend’s room smell so good! I have a wallflower from Bath and Body Works and it always smells amazing!
