Cozy Holiday Gifts for Every Type of Best Friend

November 01, 2023
Team Knix

Little is more gratifying than giving a great gift (with the exception of maybe receiving a great gift). First, there’s the joy of spotting something someone you know will love; next, relishing their surprised and adoring reactions. 

Though, we can all admit, some people on the holiday gift list are simply more fun to find gifts for than others. 

Dads? Beyond beard kits and whiskey, buying for dads is a nearly impossible task. Best friends on the other hand? We’ve had their holiday gifts picked out since July. 

A good bestie knows your favorite places to window shop; they know you keep a secret wish list on your notes app and have taken mental snapshots of all the stuff you want but would never splurge on for yourself. 

And for all the cheer up sessions they’ve spearheaded, messy rants they’ve listened to, and pet-sitting they’ve done, we think besties deserve the best, which is why you’ll find nothing but super soft fabrics and the coziest of threads in this bestie-centric holiday gift-list. 

For the Best Friend Who Still Has Their Bras From College

Bras are generally a necessity and, yet, years (and years) can slip by before we even consider replacing our favorite ones. They become like a well-worn cardigan that brings comfort—even if the straps are a little loose now. 

If your best friend is stuck in the halcyon days of bras (AKA underwires), then the gift of wireless support is in order. Made using buttery-soft fabric and 3D fabric technology, the V-Neck Revolution Bra is one of our biggest bra innovations to date.  

For the Best Friend Who Appreciates the Small Things

Is your best friend the type to stop and smell the roses? For those who relish the small things in life, there’s no greater small pleasure than quality knickers—life’s too short for scratchy cotton. 

It’s the perfect gift for the friend you’ve been trying to convert to Leakproof Period Underwear. Have we mentioned all your favorite styles come in a 3-pair Leakproof Period Underwear gift pack

For the Best Friend Who’s a Low-Key Social Influencer

The holiday social media post is the new holiday mail-card—and if every year your bestie and their family gather around the tree in matching sets for a photo-op, then we’ve got just the thing. When everyone asks where they got the adorable Pajama sets from, they’ll have you to thank. 

Alternatively, this is an opportunity to snag matching pajama sets for you and your best friends (and maybe your pets, too). 

For the Best Friend Who's Cardio-Obsessed

Give your bestie the gift of the only sports bra they’ll ever need: the Catalyst Sports Bra. This high impact baddie jumps, lunges, and strides with you seamlessly—even better, it will never give you the dreaded uni-boob thanks to its encapsulated cups. 

For the Best Friend Who’d Rather Stay in Than Go Out

You want to hit the town and dance the night away, but they’d always rather curl up on the couch and watch a movie. This is a tried and true bestie dynamic that usually results in you caving in (so long as there are snacks and you get to pick the movie). 

Might as well embrace the inevitable and dial up the cozy with the gift of a Lace Trim Robe in a seasonal color. 

For the Best Friend Who Knows Your Birth Chart by Heart

If your best friend is a little esoteric—she knows your moon sign and keeps a tarot deck in her purse—then the Stargazer print will have them feeling extra celestial. It certainly has the WingWoman Bra looking ethereal in time for winter, with its plunging neckline, molded foam cups, and wireless support. 

The cosmic print also comes in Leakproof Period Underwear styles, because what's a bra without a matching pair of undies? 

For the Best Friend Who (Literally) Gave You Life

OK, so your best friend is your mom—no judgment here. While chances are slim you’ll ever be able to fully reciprocate the gift of life, you can start by paying back lost sleep with the comfiest Flannel Nightshirt (add a pair of plaid Leakproof Period Underwear to the mix, and it's basically a pajama set). 

Not that everything needs to be about matching pajama sets, but there's no denying 'tis the season to indulge it. 

For the Best Friend Who Sleeps in Old Threadbare T-Shirts

We all love a ratty, oversized t-shirt as much as the next gal, but holiday mornings call for cozy pajama sets—ones you can be seen in while you sip morning coffee. If your bestie’s due for some new PJ’s, Modal Sleepwear is pretty heavenly, as are plaid holiday pajama sets

Plus, you can borrow them whenever you sleepover.
