37 Jewelry Gifts (Friendship Bracelets Included) For National Best Friends Day

You’ve been through all of life's ups and downs together, spent countless nights sipping countless bottles of wine, and caught up on everything from your Renaissance concert to relationships to The White Lotus. Yep, we’re talking about your ride-or-die bestie — who might be the trickiest to buy gifts for. Whether your bestie has an upcoming birthday, engagement party, or job promotion or you just want to celebrate National Best Friends Day on June 8, we've got a best friends gift for you.

While there are many gift routes you could take, bringing it back to where it all began with a matching friendship token feels particularly sentimental. After all, trading handmade bracelets at your slumber parties worked back in middle school — so, just imagine how sweet a piece of grown-up friendship jewelry would be now.

With that, we're showcasing 37 playful, pretty, and nostalgic jewelry pieces ahead (from friendship bracelets and monogrammed necklaces to punny earrings and novelty rings). Also included are several jewelry sets that you can split with your bestie (or besties) if you so desire. Either way, we don't doubt you'll find friends gifts that are non-tacky (plus a fair share of delightfully cheesy ones, too).

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

The Best Friendship Bracelets & Anklets


We designed and swapped plenty of friendship bracelets as kids. So why did we ever stop?! Oh, because we're busy, right, right. Well, thankfully there are plenty of pre-made friendship bracelets (the fun ones with beads and charms!) that don't require your time and patience. From colorful and playful styles (including one for long-distance friendships) to more subtle and refined ones (that can be personalized), you'll prove your love through these bracelets and anklets.

The Best Friendship Necklaces


We've compiled a bunch of sentimental necklaces that are small and dainty. They will perfectly blend into your friend's jewelry collection and pair well with every outfit. Opt for necklace sets that you can split with your friend or purchase single necklaces for yourself and your bestie, so you can match (e.g., necklaces with each of your names, birth years, angel numbers, etc). Plus you'll find some with pendants, charms, or symbols that perfectly symbolize friendship, like pinky promises and two peas in a pod.

50 Of The Best Mini Skirts (& Skorts) For Baring A Little Leg

Legs, it's been quite a while since we've seen you. Our uniform for the last few months may have consisted of jeans, trousers, leggings, or even maxi skirts perfect for transitional dressing, but summer is here, and covered-up hemlines are about to be shaken up. We're swapping our cold-weather staples for some leg-bearing treasures, and the mini skirt is the perfect place to start.

While some mini skirt styles are for the bold (think: low-rise micro mini skirts), there are many universally wearable and flattering styles, including a-line or wrap cuts and denim or cargo constructions. Plus, there are plenty of options appropriate for the office, late-night dinners, beach days, and more. You won't even have to abandon your miniskirt if you need to take a hot girl walk or play a game of tennis, thanks to the return of the activewear-friendly mini skort. The best miniskirts also have more year-round appeal than meets the eye. Once fall hits, you can pair them with tights and a trench coat for a street-style-ready look.

So now that we've convinced you of its styling prowess and versatility, click on to see some of the best mini skirts (and skorts) — and to scoop them up before summer is in full swing.
