Open-when letters
A stack of envelopes, each labelled for a moment: open when you miss me, when you need a laugh, when you cannot sleep. It costs little.

A stargazing night
A blanket, a flask and a dark spot away from the city lights. It costs little.
Buying when you are not sure of a hobby
Without a hobby to anchor the choice, aim for something they would not buy for themself. That usually means an experience, something handmade or something that records a moment you shared.
Check sizes and brands quietly before you buy anything wearable.
Buying for your best friend
Friendship gifts are best when they are funny or nostalgic. Look back through photos and messages for the thing you always refer to.
Pair a silly gift with a sincere note.
