The best gifts for your best friend are the ones that feel like an inside joke she gets to wear. Skip the generic candle.

Below are 12 gift ideas for a best friend (woman) from $16.99, good for Christmas, her birthday or a "saw this and thought of you" moment. Every one ships free.

How to pick the right gift for your best friend
- Match her current obsession. Pilates, books, leopard, her cat: a gift that nods to it says "I pay attention."
- Personal for birthdays, cozy for Christmas. Initials and birthstones feel made for her; blankets and fur feel like winter.
- Not sure of her size? Pick one-size gifts: the hoodie, gloves, headband, leg warmers, jewelry or a gift set.
- Add a note. The card is half the gift. Mention the memory that made you pick it.
