When you have an effortlessly cool friend, buying a gift for them can be a little intimidating. Whether your bestie is always finding the cutest accessories, trying a new hobby, or putting you onto the latest trend, finding something that feels just as unique as they are can be a challenge.

Luckily, the Dorm Therapy team has assembled a "cool girl" gift guide filled with quirky accessories, creative kits, and splurge-worthy finds that are equal parts stylish, thoughtful, and unexpected. Here are 23 gift ideas for the coolest person you know.

What Is a "Cool Girl" Gift Guide?

First things first, being a "cool girl" is not gender-specific; it's a state of mind. Think of the trendsetters in your life, like your sister, your bestie, your boyfriend, or your dorm neighbor. This gift guide is all about finding presents for the person who always seems to know about the niche brands before they're super trendy, has a great eye for style, and appreciates the little things that make everyday life more fun. From small stocking stuffers to luxe finds worth the splurge, these are the gifts for the friend who's so cool, they're hard to shop for.
