- The Tattooed Friend

I’m sure this friend would love an actual tattoo, but those can be a little pricy and have the potential to be regretful. Luckily, there’s a perfect, matching alternative: fake tattoos! These heart-shaped cuties come in a pack of three and last three to four days (and if you don’t love them, they’re easily removed with baby oil). The best part? They’re under $3!

- The Feminist Friend

Feminism is cool, and so are lapel pins. This gorgeous, high quality pin featuring the powerful quotation “nevertheless, she persisted” is sure to turn heads and inform the world just who you are and what you stand for. This pin comes in three skin tones: vanilla, caramel and chocolate, making it friendlier for POC. As reviewer Gabrielle English and Beyonce say, “who run the world? GIRLS”

- The Blingy Friend

They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but I think we should make morse code bracelets our new BFFs. lelizabethjewelry makes a variety of bracelets and necklaces with hidden messages in morse on them. They make the perfect secret inside jokes and heartfelt compliments. Minimalistic but gorgeous, the store also offers customs in case you want to make a really personal inside joke. While this one says “SOUL SISTERS,” nearly anything is possible.
