My Bestfriend Is So Picky So Here are The Gifts I'm Giving Her Instead
Photo Credit:@kettakekelia
We all have that friend — the one who side-eyes everything, always returns her gifts, and somehow makes shopping for her feel like an Olympic sport. She’s picky (and she knows it), which is why the only way to win is with gifts that are actually thoughtful, stylish, and useful. These 20 finds are chic enough to pass her test but practical enough that she’ll actually keep them.
