Finding a Christmas gift for your best friend means looking for something that feels like her and says "I'm thinking of you", even on the evenings you're apart. Soft, cosy gifts rarely miss the mark: they keep her warm, they get used all winter and they bring back your time together. Here are our ideas to spoil her.
Key points
- Cosy is a safe bet: slippers, a throw, a candle, tea, a book.
- Choose according to her personality: gentle, always cold or daring.
- A matching pair (one for her, one for you) always goes down well.
- Add a shared moment: a girls' night in beats any parcel.
- If she's between two sizes, go for the larger one; size exchanges are free.
What should you get your best friend for Christmas?
With a best friend, there's no need to impress: it's about getting it right. The perfect gift feels like her, is genuinely useful and carries a nod to your story. Comfort gifts have that advantage: she'll use them every day and think of you each time she slips on her slippers after a long day.
Why cosy gifts are perfect between friends
In winter, we spend more time at home and look for comfort there. Giving softness means giving a little everyday wellbeing: warm feet, an evening under a throw, a steaming cup of tea. It's also a gift that's easy to share, on a film night or a lazy Sunday at one of your places.
Our soft and cosy ideas
Super-soft slippers for evenings under a throw
The Merano cosy slippers tick every box: a wide faux-fur cuff, a plush lining that gives slightly to mould to the foot, and vegan suede with a soft "peach skin" feel. In pink, cream or beige, they have that comforting touch we love to give. Available in sizes 36 to 45, at €34.99.
Faux-fur-lined clogs for the friend who's always cold
Does she keep her coat on at yours and complain about icy feet? The Bormio faux-fur-lined clogs are made for her: faux-fur lining right up to the collar and a grooved cork-effect sole she can wear outside. In saffron for a bright touch, or camel or grey to stay neutral.
A leopard pair for the friend who dares
She loves prints and isn't afraid to stand out? The Sienna clog comes in leopard and white leopard. A gift that suits her down to the ground, to wear with jeans, a knitted dress or head-to-toe black. Our styling tips are in the article how to wear leopard clogs.
The matching pair: one for her, one for you
This idea is sure to raise a smile: the same pair, each in your own colour. With Build your own bundle, 2 pairs of your choice cost €59.98. You can even mix: a pink Merano for her, a camel Bormio for you. Perfect for your future sleepovers.
Which colour suits her style?
Look at what she wears day to day. For a romantic friend, the pink or light grey Merano adds softness. If her wardrobe is more minimalist, go for black, grey or taupe. For someone who loves warm tones, camel is a safe choice that works as well with joggers as with jeans. And for your sunniest friend, the saffron Bormio is an instant mood-lifter.
Put together a homemade cosy hamper
For a more generous gift, build your own hamper around a pair of slippers:
- A pair of slippers or clogs, the star of the show.
- A pair of soft socks, ribbed or chunky knit.
- A candle in her favourite scent.
- A seasonal tea or infusion, with a pretty mug.
- A novel you loved, with a note tucked inside.
- A playlist of your songs, written on a card.

Give a moment as well as a gift
What we remember most are often the moments. Slip a voucher into the parcel for a girls' night, a brunch, a cinema trip or a cosy Sunday at yours, throw and hot chocolate included. Our cosy Sunday rituals will help you plan the perfect day.
How do you find out her size without raising suspicion?
Between friends, it's usually easy: you probably already know her size, or you can slip the question into a chat about the sales. Otherwise, take a peek at her trainers next time you visit. Our styles are true to size: if she's between two sizes, go for the larger one. And if needed, size exchanges are free, with 60 days to change your mind.
