Ladies That Brunch: Gifts for the Basic and Proud

We see your brunch-obsessed, latte-loving, athleisure-wearing basic besties, and we’re not mad.

There’s no shame in their game, and why should there be? We’ve had avocado toast and yes, it is delicious and deserves all of the hype. So, we put together a gift guide dedicated to the basic and proud, and it has ALL OF THE THINGS they’re sure to love. Trust us, these gifts are so good we can LITERALLY already hear the “I can’t evens.” Check out our picks below!

Throw Pillows

Chances are your friend goes all out when she, well, has a night out, but she is also known as the absolute queen of chilling. She can make any space feel like home, and all she needs is a scented candle, a glass of wine, some comfy leggings, maybe a pair of Uggs (I think those are making a comeback) and tons and tons of throw pillows. Our plush pillows will keep her comfy, and whatever sassy design you choose will give her LIFE.

Tote Bags

Tote bags will soon be your friend’s best sidekick. Why? They’re incredibly versatile, perfect for lugging that laptop to class or making a quick Starbucks run, and will keep her looking polished when she needs it most, like when she rolls out of bed in a hungover haze 10 minutes before brunch. And while we know it’s a little early and probably too chilly, we can see these being in heavy rotation when music fest and pool season rolls around.

iPhone Cases

Selfies. Instagram. Secretly stalking her man who’s not really her man. These are just some of the joys your girl’s phone brings her, and what better gift than protecting them at all costs? Enter: iPhone cases with a basic touch. We literally have a case for everyone, whether she’s more extra than that side of guac or is always dreaming of bottomless mimosas and tanning poolside.

Coffee Mugs

Do we really need to explain this one? If your basic BFF says “But first, coffee” on repeat, you NEED to get her a coffee mug or two. They’re great for holding basic brews, ‘gram-worthy latte art and matcha if that’s more her thing, not to mention they’re super cute. Let her proudly display her avocado obsession or that sass you’re not quite sure if you love or hate, and maybe convince yourself that one more cup of coffee is just what she needs to take it down a notch.
