A Soft Girl Friendsgiving: Chaos, Comfort & The Cutest Gifts Ever

Soft girl chaos, cozy gifts, and Friendsgiving magic 💖✨

There’s something magical about Friendsgiving it’s like the universe gives you permission to gather your favorite people, cook entirely too much food, and create a little chaos wrapped in warmth.

This year, the Soft Girl Society decided to make it even more fun by doing a “soft girl gift exchange,” and honestly… I don’t think any of us have recovered yet.

Let me set the scene: my new vanity was sitting in the corner of the living room because I hadn’t moved it to the bedroom yet. I wanted to show it off the pink-lit mirror, the shiny drawers, and of course, my new Greenstell vanity chair with the cubby https://amzn.to/3Ks5zre that I swear has the softest faux fur I’ve ever sat on. I kept telling everyone, “You guys have to sit in this chair,” like it was a personality trait.

Someone did spill cranberry juice on the vanity at one point, but honestly it just looked like a blush aesthetic moment, so we pretended it was intentional.

But the gifts… THE GIFTS.

One of the girls brought me a pink Paris Hilton air fryer https://amzn.to/3XQyRTw because she said, “Every soft girl needs a hot appliance.” And honestly? She’s right. It was the star of the kitchen that night. We cooked everything in it rolls, mozzarella sticks, someone put a cookie in there “just to see.” Shockingly good.

Another friend handed me a little box wrapped in pink tissue paper. Inside was a pastel pink deco tool set https://amzn.to/3KdEMyU , and we all screamed because it was the most soft-girl-but-still-capable thing I’ve ever seen. “Now you can fix things but cutely,” she said.

But the award for Most Chaotic Gift goes to my best friend, who gave me a mug that says:
“I’ll punch a b*tch for you right in the throat.” https://amzn.to/43RfzRA

And the way she said it with a straight face? Iconic.
The way she followed it up with, “But like… gently. Soft girl punches only”?
Even more iconic.

That cup became the centerpiece of the table. Everyone kept sipping wine out of it like it held magical powers.

Midway through dinner, someone dared me to sit on my vanity chair, hold the mug, and give a dramatic speech about friendship. For reasons unknown, I agreed. I ended up telling this long, emotional story about how last year’s Friendsgiving ended with us trying to fry a turkey in the garage (don’t ask), and how this year felt calm and soft even with the chaos, even with the loud laughter and spilled cider and someone accidentally sitting on the gift bags.

It was wild, but it was comforting. The good kind of wild the kind where everyone is safe, fed, loved, and a little too full of carbs.

And at the end of the night, we all traded the cutest soft girl gifts:

  • vanity organizers
  • pastel mugs
  • mini beauty fridges
  • cozy socks
  • little journals
  • and yes… someone even swapped their air fryer for a skincare set

It was messy, hilarious, heartfelt, ridiculously pink, and completely perfect.

Friendsgiving isn’t about flawless tables or perfectly timed dishes.
It’s about softness, laughter, shared chaos, and the simple magic of being surrounded by people who get you.

And honestly? I think next year we’re doing it all again but I’m hiding the cranberry juice from my vanity.
