How to Choose the Right Kind of Friendship Day Gift?
When in Doubt, Go for Gender Neutral Gifts
Who said that friendship day gifts are supposed to address a specific gender? Many a time, you won’t be able to find the appropriate gift for a guy or a girl and in this case, you can then choose gender-neutral gifts. For example, chocolates, or a gift card or maybe dinner, these gifts have nothing to do with the gender of your friend. And it will be a fail-safe plan for you.
You Can Ditch the Practical Gifts for This Day
Generally, people try to look for unique and personalised friendship day gifts ideas. This is because friends are special and you want to gift something out of the box to them. One of the best ways is to make something for them. If you can do that, then practical and materialistic gifts need not be considered. For example, preferring a picture collage over a wristwatch can be a better option as you will be giving a lot of memories to them.
Meaningful Gifts > Boring Ideas
When it comes to Friendship Day gifts, try making it particularly meaningful to the recipient. Getting a branded watch is really boring but adding a hamper comprising of various small gifts that have special meaning like keychain, chocolates, flowers, teddy bear etc. can be a great idea. You just need to be creative enough for this.

Friendship Day Gifts for Guys

Generally, it is quite a struggle to find something appropriate for a guy, especially when it is for occasions like friendship day. But all thanks to these gift packs that it is no longer a trouble.
Here we picked a nice combo which consists of men’s wallet, card holder, keychain and a nice belt. All these combine together to form a nice formal gift set for your guy bestie.

All the items are made from high-quality leather and of course they all are really classy and all elegant. All of them are available in black colour except for the keychain. This gift pack is perfect for someone looking for brand new wardrobe essentials. You can buy this on Amazon for Rs. 1,169.
White Contrast Side Letter Print Hoodie
There are plenty of friendship day gifts for him, but a hoodie is definitely the coolest of them all. Not only is it super useful, but it is quite stylish too. And of course, all guys love to wear hoodies, so you can never go wrong with such kind of gifts.
We picked a white colour hoodie here with black stripes on the sleeves and contrast print on it. It is a mix of polyester and cotton fabric, so would suit the season of autumn or light cold.
Clothing is definitely a perfect idea when you can't think of any other gift, especially when it comes to guys. You can also buy the same piece to rock it together with your bestie. You can grab this cool hoodie from Shein Rs. 1,008.
Black & Orange Gym Bag
Another cool thing apart from a hoodie can be a gym bag. However, it is apt only when he is an avid gym-goer. This duffel bag can be used for other purposes too, so it is a good option to buy it for your friend for Friendship Day. It is a grey and orange unisex duffel bag so if you are thinking about giving it to your female bestie then it won't be a bad idea too. It has one main zip compartment and one zip pocket on the front side, along with a zip pocket on the side. It is a compact size and a nice colour block pattern that your bestie would love to get.

Personalized Picture Cushion
The next one amongst the friendship day gifts for guys is a personalised picture cushion. Now, unlike other gifts mentioned here, this is quite contradictory as it is very personal and all about cherishing memories for them. So, quite like a typical picture cushion, this gift has a 10 X 11inch cushion and it is filled with the fillers. You can personalize it with the desired picture of your friend on it.
The cushion is very comfy and makes a nice gift for the occasion of Friendship Day. If you are not so keen for the picture, then you can get Happy Friendship Day printed on it as well. You can buy this cushion from fnp.com for Rs. 349.
The Formal Gift Set for Men
We got another formal, yet interesting gift set for a guy. When it comes to friendship day, it will be quite difficult to find a suitable gift for a guy as teddy bears and chocolates would be really inappropriate. So, we can rather turn to some practical gifts for them. This formal gift set here is a combination of a bow tie, pocket square and a nice and elegant pin set for men. Talking about the bow tie and the pocket square, they both are deep purple in colour and looks really sophisticated. Moreover, the pin is the real showstopper here as it can be used as a tie pin or for any other purpose too.
