From a shared obsession for Pokemon to a shared mug of beer, you and your best friend have come a long way. But the foundation of your friendship has stood the test of time, has endured city, school and college changes, and the various turbulences life tends to be riddled with. Through thick and thin, he's been the guy you've gone to for girl advice, the one you've called when your mom found a lighter in your pocket, and the only guy you'd want to end a hectic Friday, on the couch in front of the TV with.
So, how do you pick a gift for a person who's been your closest ally in life, that too with the minuscule budget you can afford to shell out at the moment? You know no matter what you pick, it will never quite capture what they mean to you. And the best part is, it doesn't have to. All it needs to convey is, that you care enough to remember his favourite mug that he broke and has been meaning to replace forever, the Fight Club poster he obsessed over while you were out on a stroll or the book he wants to read but ends up forgetting about each time you visit a bookstore.
With Best Friend's Day right on the horizon, it's as ideal a time to remind your brother from another mother, that you're glad they're in your life. And to help you do just that, we've listed 5 gifts that your best friend will love, but will cost you less than INR 500.
