How can I add spacing between my Bootstrap 5 nav elements?

Question

So I have this nav using bootstrap 5, and I want to have some space in between each nav-item but still looking good for the phone mode:

<nav id="navboot" class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light">
  <div class="container-fluid">
    <a class="navbar-brand" href="Home.php">
      <img src="../Images/Logo.jpg" alt="Logo" width="150px" height="49px">
    </a>
    <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
      <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
    </button>
    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
      <ul class="navbar-nav me-auto mb-2 mb-lg-0 ml-1">
        <li class="nav-item">
          <a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Home</a>
        </li>
        <li class="nav-item dropdown">
          <a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="navbarDropdown" role="button" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
            Contact
          </a>
          <ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">
            <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="tel: +12345">+12345</a></li>
            <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="mailto: boutiquethionville@ldlc.com">bla@gmail.com</a></li>
            <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#" target="_blank">Adress</a></li>
          </ul>
        </li>
        <li class="nav-item">
          <a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Products</a>
        </li>
        <li class="nav-item">
          <a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">About</a>
        </li>
        <li class="nav-item">
          <a class="nav-link active" href="chart.php">
            <img src="../Images/Shopping-basket.png" alt="" width="45px" height="40px">
          </a>
        </li>
        <li class="nav-item">
          <a class="nav-link active" href="<?= $URL ?>">
            <img src="../Images/Languages.jpg" alt="PT/EN" id="language1">
          </a>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>
</nav>

I want this text and img to have more space and not just stay all of them on the left.

You can add padding using Bootstrap's spacing attributes, in this case, padding px. See: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/utilities/spacing/

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.1.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-1BmE4kWBq78iYhFldvKuhfTAU6auU8tT94WrHftjDbrCEXSU1oBoqyl2QvZ6jIW3" crossorigin="anonymous">

<nav id="navboot" class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light">
  <div class="container-fluid">
    <a class="navbar-brand" href="Home.php">
      <img src="../Images/Logo.jpg" alt="Logo" width="150px" height="49px" />
    </a>
    <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
      <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
    </button>
    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
      <ul class="navbar-nav me-auto mb-2 mb-lg-0 ml-1">
        <li class="nav-item px-4">
          <a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Home</a>
        </li>
        <li class="nav-item dropdown px-4">
          <a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="navbarDropdown" role="button" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
            Contact
          </a>
          <ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">
            <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="tel: +12345">+12345</a></li>
            <li>
              <a class="dropdown-item" href="mailto: boutiquethionville@ldlc.com">bla@gmail.com</a
              >
            </li>
            <li>
              <a class="dropdown-item" href="#" target="_blank">Adress</a>
            </li>
          </ul>
        </li>
        <li class="nav-item px-4">
          <a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Products</a
          >
        </li>
        <li class="nav-item px-4">
          <a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">About</a>
        </li>
        <li class="nav-item px-4">
          <a class="nav-link active" href="chart.php">
            <img src="../Images/Shopping-basket.png" alt="" width="45px" height="40px" />
          </a>
        </li>
        <li class="nav-item px-4">
          <a class="nav-link active" href="<?= $URL ?>">
            <img src="../Images/Languages.jpg" alt="PT/EN" id="language1" />
          </a>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>
</nav>

Here I added px-4 for all nav-items, you might need to add a different padding value that suites your requirements (if needed).
