Gift Ideas For Your Best Friend

Best friends are the easiest people to buy for and the hardest people to impress, because you both already know the jokes. The winning move is not novelty; it is archival. A gift that proves you have been keeping records of the friendship beats anything bought.

Go through the archive

The story everyone still repeats. The phase they pretend did not happen. The advice you gave that turned out badly. This material has been accumulating for years.

Be unflattering, precisely

Between best friends, accurate teasing is the highest form of affection. Vagueness is what would be insulting.

Land one sincere line

One genuine sentence at the end of a page of mockery is what makes people keep these things.

What makes it personal

Use dates and place names. 'The incident in 2019' is funnier than 'that time you embarrassed yourself'.

What we would make

Government-Issued Relationship Report Card — $4.99

An absurdly official two-page assessment of their merits, infractions and continued eligibility — affectionate, specific and very formally typeset.

  • A formal report grading their reliability, advice quality and record on group holidays.
  • A card issued as an official notice of long service to the friendship.
  • A coupon booklet of favours you owe from the last decade.

Also worth considering: Digital Emergency Card & Envelope.

How it works

  1. Answer a short set of questions about the person — habits, history, the running jokes.
  2. We write the gift from your answers and show you the finished thing.
  3. Pay $4.99 once, then download the clean file or send the private link.
