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.

This is the ultimate hair friend your best friend has been in the need of. For all those never-ending workdays, when the obligation to attend meeting after meeting makes him want to tug at his hair with stress, this is the wax that will make sure his hairstyle is too good for any source of stress to ruin it. Also, for the dates that follow those workdays, or the parties you end your weekends with, this hair wax will perfectly complement his no-nonsense style, making sure his artfully done dishevelled hair stays the way he intends it to.

He's the strongest guy you personally know, so it's only apt that you gift him something symbolic of strength, knowledge and persistent courage. So when your best friend has a momentary lapse in confidence, all he needs to do is look down at his feet to be reminded of the Viking he is more often than not. Besides, this pair of socks is so quirky, it makes for the perfect eccentric fashion piece to hide under his trousers at work!

If your best friend is more of a clean shave guy, this soothing aftershave balm will take care of the itching or skin irritation, or even the nicks and cuts that tend to follow a close shave session. This product comprises of a refreshing mix of natural ingredients and fragrances, perfect for uplifting his mood after a tiff with the razor. It also has extracts that will keep his post-shave skin moisturised, something he will thank you for eventually when the prospect of his morning shave is no longer as annoying as it used to be.

Remember all those pujas your best friend attended in a graphic t-shirt, followed by aunty begging you to get him into something at least slightly ethnic, the next time around? This is your moment to shine, and the gift both your best friend, and his mum will love in equal measure! This textured kurta perfectly straddles the line between too ethnic for comfort, and too casual for a Havan.
