The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family and friends to gather, bond, and exchange meaningful gifts. If you’re unsure what to get your best friend this Mid-Autumn Festival, check out these 30+ gift ideas that are both beautiful and budget-friendly.
1. Mid-Autumn Festival Gifts for Female Friends
Lipstick
Long-lasting, trendy lipsticks that match your bestie’s style are always a great gift idea. You don’t have to splurge on expensive or branded lipsticks; local brands or those made from natural extracts that are safe for the lips and come at a reasonable price can be just as thoughtful.

Dresses
Girls can never have too many cute and stylish dresses. Surprise your female friend this Mid-Autumn Festival by getting her a dress she loves or taking her shopping for one. When choosing a dress yourself, consider her style (“girly,” bold, sexy, etc.), age, occupation, and other factors to pick the perfect one.

Handbags
A stylish handbag is a must-have accessory to complete an outfit, especially when paired with a dress and heels. However, handbags can be a tricky gift because everyone has different styles and preferences. If you’re unsure about your friend’s taste in bags, you can match it to her shoe color or choose a bag based on her needs, such as a minimalist bag for work, a bold bag for a night out, or a larger bag for everyday use.
Handbags
Bracelets
You don’t have to break the bank to gift a beautiful bracelet; choose one that suits your friend’s style or symbolizes your friendship and understanding of her. Instead of opting for expensive jewelry, consider a beaded bracelet with stones that match her birthstone, a dainty bangle, or a red string bracelet, among other options.
Bracelets
Water Bottle
Water bottles or insulated bottles are convenient items that anyone can use. This Mid-Autumn Festival, show your friend you care by gifting them a water bottle. If they’re often on the go, opt for an insulated bottle or a plastic bottle, while a glass bottle might be better suited for office use. For environmentally conscious friends, consider bottles made from wood or sustainable alloys.

Teddy Bears
Who can resist adorable, soft, and chubby teddy bears? If you’re unsure what to get your female friend, a cute teddy bear is a great option. Just make sure to consider her living space when choosing the size of the bear.

Necklaces
Necklaces, like bracelets, come in various styles and carry different meanings, making them a versatile gift option. A “luxurious” gold or silver necklace, a bold choker, a classic pearl necklace, a beaded necklace, or a delicate chain are some of the most popular choices these days.
Necklaces
Body Mist
Body mist, or fragrance mist, is a product that can be used multiple times a day to create a pleasant scent. Body mists offer two main advantages: a wide range of fragrances and large bottle sizes (typically 50ml and above), and they are usually more affordable than perfumes. In addition to making your body smell nice, body mists can also help moisturize the skin and prevent dryness.

Pets
Keeping pets is a popular stress reliever these days. So, instead of splurging on luxurious gifts, why not gift your female friend a furry companion? If your friend lives in a small space, consider getting them a small pet like a hedgehog, hamster, or kitten. You can also include pet care essentials and toys to make the gift even more special.
Pets
Small Potted Plants
Tiny potted plants, measuring just 5cm or 10cm, are not only adorable but also space-saving. They’ll make great “friends” to keep your bestie company on their desk or work table. Wooden, ceramic, or glass pots with succulents, cacti, or small flowers are affordable and beautiful options.

Flower Baskets
Sweet-smelling flowers and a heartfelt card with well-wishes for the Mid-Autumn Festival are sure to bring happiness to anyone who receives them. Nowadays, florists also offer baskets with fruits, teddy bears, and sweets included, making the gift even more special.

Bedside Lamps
A bedside lamp can make a bedroom cozier and more relaxing, and it can also help your friend fall asleep more easily. Choose a lamp that suits their bedroom’s style, whether it’s a chic lamp with a tall stand and a shade or a cute lamp in the shape of their favorite animal, an LED lamp, or a wall-mounted lamp.

Feng Shui Items
If your friend is into spirituality and feng shui, a feng shui item like a statue, stone, or painting is a perfect gift. Make sure to do your research on your friend’s birth chart, zodiac sign, and age to choose the most suitable item.

Women’s Watches
A stylish watch is the perfect accessory to complete a polished look, along with elegant clothing, heels, and a handbag. If your friend has a playful spirit, opt for a watch with bright colors and a fun design, while a more mature or career-oriented friend might appreciate a leather or metal watch with delicate details.

Eyeglasses
Last but not least, eyeglasses are an easy and safe gift option for your female best friend. If she wears prescription lenses, you can get her modern, high-quality frames, but make sure not to buy the lenses unless you know her exact prescription.
You can also gift her a pair of stylish sunglasses for her travels and photo ops.
