20 Beautiful and Meaningful Gifts That Show Friends How Much You Care

Whether it's a birthday, a special anniversary, or you just want to show someone you care, we've found 20 thoughtful gifts for friends they'll cherish.

The world might feel like it's at a standstill but life, no matter how irregular it may seem right now, goes on. Birthdays continue to roll around and special anniversaries are inevitably on the horizon. However, choosing the perfect gift for someone close to you is more challenging than ever with restrictions in place. Of course, a phone call or voice note telling them you love them is invaluable, but we've found it hard to show our loved ones just how much we care. So, in lieu of spending time together and being able to hug one another (won't that feel like the greatest gift of all?), we've found 20 thoughtful gifts for friends we think they'll truly cherish.
