Best friend gift: 15 original ideas that won't end up in the closet

Cadeau meilleure amie : 15 idées originales qui ne finiront pas au placard

Finding the perfect gift for your best friend is an art form. There's no way you're giving her some generic candle or yet another "Best Friend" mug bought in five minutes on Amazon. She deserves better. She deserves something that says: "I know you, I love you, and look how funny I am".

Good news: we've compiled 15 original gift ideas that all have one thing in common: they have character, they're funny, and they won't end up in a drawer. Some come from us (we're not exactly objective, but we own it), while others are just great ideas we wanted to share.

Home decor gifts that stay on the walls

A home decor gift is the kind of thing you see every day. Every morning, your best friend will look at it and think of you. Try doing that with a gift set of shower gel.

1. The personalized BFF poster

We're starting with the star (yes, it's ours). The BFF poster to personalize features both your names in an illustration by Marie Ollier. It's unique, made in France on 350 gsm art paper, and says exactly what needs to be said without overdoing it. Available from A4 size to 70×100 cm for XXL friendships.

2. The "One Butt at a Time" quote poster

For the friend going through a tough time or who just needs a motivational reminder in her office. "One Butt at a Time" is our best-selling quote. Funny, sweet, and universally applicable.

3. The Happy Butt poster

The poster that radiates good vibes. Happy Butt fits perfectly in a bathroom, an office, or on any wall that needs a smile. The kind of gift that makes you laugh when you open it and stays hanging for years.

4. A matching gallery wall

If you want to make a real impact, why not give her a pack of 2 or 3 posters that match to create a complete gallery wall. It's the gift that transforms an empty wall into a decor statement, and with our packs, the visuals are already coordinated.

Personalized gifts that say "this is for you"

Personalized gifts are one level above classic gifts. They say: I took the time, I thought about it, and this thing doesn't exist anywhere else in the world.

5. A poster with your names

Beyond the BFF poster, we have several customizable posters where you can add names, a date, or a message. Whether it's to celebrate your friendship, a joint birthday, or a travel memory, it's unique and handmade.

6. A custom birthday poster

Is her birthday coming up? The personalized birthday poster with her name and age of your choice is the gift that will make her say "but how did you find this?!" when she opens it.

7. The "My Heart Beats for You" poster

Friendship is love too. "My Heart Beats for You" in a personalized version is the classiest declaration of friendship on the market.

Gifts that make you laugh (and that's what counts)

We know: you and your best friend spend 80% of your time together laughing. So you might as well give her something that keeps the tradition going.

8. The "The Typology of Little Butts" bathroom poster

Our iconic poster. The Typology of Little Butts belongs in everyone's bathroom, but especially your best friend's. It's the perfect housewarming, birthday, or "just because" gift. It's guaranteed to make all the guests smile.

9. The "Butts for Slapping" poster

For the friend who embraces everything with humor. "Butts for Slapping" is quirky, funny, and has that little touch of madness that fits perfectly in a home that doesn't take itself too seriously.

10. LPF postcards

Don't want to break the piggy bank? Our illustrated postcards start at €3.50 and always make their mark. You can even send them by mail with a little note inside—yes, like in the good old days. Your best friend will melt.

Experience gifts (not LPF, but we approve)

Because we're not just here to sell our products, we're also here to help you find THE gift. Here are a few ideas that always work.

11. A creative workshop for two

Pottery, painting, cooking, cocktails... Workshops for two are the kind of gift that creates memories (and Instagram stories). Search Wecandoo or Funbooker to find a workshop near her.

12. A photo album of your friendship

Compile your best moments in a physical album (Cheerz, Rosemood). It takes time, but it's the kind of gift you keep for life. Bonus: add the ugliest captions possible to maximize the laughs.

13. A personalized wellness box

Mask, tea, chocolate, cozy socks—you put together a custom wellness box yourself. It's the thought that counts, and choosing each element shows that you know her tastes.

14. A notebook or diary

For the friend who writes, draws, or doodles. A beautiful notebook (ours, for example, the "Un Coup de Soleil" Notebook or a classic Moleskine) is a simple gift that is always appreciated.

15. The combo: poster + card + little note

Our ultimate tip: combine an LPF poster with a postcard and a little handwritten note. It's the winning trio: the home decor gift that stays, the card that makes her smile, and the note that makes her cry (with joy). Total budget: less than €35.

How to choose the right gift for your best friend?

A few simple criteria that never fail:

Think about her home. If she just moved in, a decor poster is the perfect gift. If she's into minimalism, a postcard or a workshop will be better than one more object.

Think about your story. The best gift refers to a shared moment, a recurring joke, a nickname. That's why personalized gifts work so well between best friends.

Think about what she wouldn't buy for herself. An illustrated artist poster, printed in France on 350 gsm art paper, is the kind of thing we love but never buy for ourselves. That's exactly what gifts are for.

FAQ

What budget for a best friend gift?

It all depends on the occasion. For a birthday or Christmas, €25 to €50 is the most common range. Our posters start at €30 (A4 size) and go up to €129 for the large 70×100 cm format with a frame. Postcards are from €3.50 for a small spontaneous gesture.

What personalized gift to give your best friend?

A poster with your names is the most original and lasting personalized gift. Unlike an engraved piece of jewelry or a phone case, a poster is seen every day, decorates the home, and doesn't wear out. Our BFF poster is designed exactly for that.

Where to find an original gift for your best friend?

Avoid general marketplaces (Amazon, Fnac) where you'll find the same mugs and candles as everyone else. Choose independent creators and stores with a strong identity like Les Petites Fesses, where every visual is an original illustration signed by the artist Marie Ollier, printed in France.

How to wrap a poster gift?

Our posters are delivered in rigid cardboard packaging that protects them. If you want to wrap it nicely, slide it into a cardboard tube with a ribbon, or wrap it flat in kraft paper with a note on top. Simple and effective.
