More about personalized gifts for Best Friend

A personalized gift works because it could only have come from you. Everything on this page starts with a photograph you already have, or a handful of words only you would think to write down, a saying, a year, the name everyone calls them.

Each idea on this page is a layout rather than a finished picture: you choose it, put your own photos and words into it, see exactly how it will look, and only then decide what to print it on.

If none of them is right, describe them in your own words instead. You do not need to know what you want, that is what the brief is for.

FAQ About Gifts for Your Best Friend

What are good gifts for a best friend?

Good gifts for a best friend come from the photos you took together: the dorm room, the questionable haircut phase, the road trip that went sideways. Printerpix puts them in a photo book or on a mug or a canvas print, and you add the caption that still makes you both laugh.

What is a good gift for a female best friend?

A good gift for a female best friend is a photo pillow of your favorite picture together or a framed print for her apartment wall. Add a line she will get right away. The cute photo from your first apartment usually wins.

What is a good gift for a guy or male best friend?

A good gift for a guy best friend can stay low-key, like photo coasters from the last game night. A coffee mug with an old photo of you two, or a puzzle of the trip you still bring up, takes a caption you write yourself.

What do you give a best friend who is moving away?

When a best friend is moving away, give them the friendship to take along. A photo book of your years in the same zip code travels well, or a canvas print for the new place says what you might not manage to say at the airport. Printerpix shows every page and crop on screen before anything prints.

What makes a meaningful gift for friends or a best friend?

Meaningful gifts for friends are the ones that could only come from you. Put a handful of your shared shots on a Printerpix mug or in a photo book, with a line only the two of you would get. Or write the whole letter in the To My Best Friend design on a pillow or a canvas print. You can design it all on a phone.

What are small, funny or homemade gifts for a friend who has everything?

Small gifts for a friend who has everything can still be funny and feel homemade. A mug with the worst photo of you both, photo magnets from the last girls' night for a woman friend, or the Friends Forever, Class Of design on a puzzle.

How long does it take to arrive?

Made to order in 1 to 3 working days, then sent with tracking. Delivery options and costs for your address are shown at the checkout, before you pay.

What if I do not have good photos?

You need fewer than you think. Plenty of these take a single picture, and some take none at all, the ones built from names, dates and a few lines you write yourself.

Can I change my mind after I have started?

Yes. Nothing is printed until you have seen a preview and confirmed it, so you can change the photos, the words or the product itself up to that point.

What if it arrives and it is not right?

Tell us. Every order is covered by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee: not right? We’ll reprint it or refund you.

Is it really made from my own photos?

Yes, that is the whole point. Your original photo is never altered; whatever you make is produced alongside it, so you keep both.
