Here’s What You Should Get Your BFF For Valentine’s Day, Based On Their Sign

by Brittany Bennett

Romance is nice and all but there's no love truer than the one that is shared between best friends. So, when it comes to Valentine's Day there's nobody more deserving of all the chocolate hearts and fresh cut flowers than the friend who always answers the phone when you call. But gift giving is better when it's more ~personal~ than just candy and roses. That's why it wouldn't hurt to brainstorm what you should get your best friend for Valentine's Day based on their sign. A Gemini bestie might never use an organizational planner but your Virgo BFF would go crazy over it.

Love for a best friend goes deep. It goes beyond parading your admiration for them daily on your Instagram feed. Past Woman Crush Wednesdays. I've seen best friends ink each other's initials onto their fingers — on two separate occasions, with two different sets of best friends. Yeah, best friendship is intense. It's the kind of strong, sisterly, supportive relationship that deserves celebration in the spotlight regularly. And occasionally, gifts.

While that little cherub Cupid flings his arrows into the air on Feb. 14, you'll be paying no attention to the nonsense. Order in pizza with your best friend and swap the kind of perfect bestie gifts that further prove your real other half totally "gets you."
