Bliski can be used to the person too. for example someone is really important for you.
Both can be used if something is near to you.
This tree is near to me - to drzewo jest blisko mnie
There is a tree near to sign - drzewo jest w pobliżu znaku

All the answers above are quite inaccurate. Both words are primarily adjectives that mean close. Pobliski is used much rarer, and, as far as I know, can only be used to refer to a spatial relation eg "pobliski sklep" is "nearby shop". Bliski carries all the meanings that the English adjective close does. In addition, as pointed out above, it can be used as a noun to refer to a human being who is close to you, usually member of your family.

Bliski has got more meanings than pobliski
Bliski
= Located a short distance away
np. On jest moim bliskim sąsiadem. (becasuse he is living next to me)
= To happen in the near future
To sie okaże w najbliższej przyszłości (It will turn out in the nearest future)
bliskie niebezpieczeństwo (imminent danger)
Kilka razy byłem bliski śmierci. Ale jakoś zawsze udawało mi się przeżyć. I almost died a few times but I always survived somehow.
= a person close to somebody
Kiedyś był mi bliski jak brat, ale bardzo się zmienił. Once we were like brothers, but now he's a different man.
Pobliski has goy only one meaning. It means that something is close to you (that something is located a short distance away from you). So you can say: Pobliski sklep jest dobrze zaopatrzony (The shop nearby is well-stocked). Pobliski refers only to a thing while bliski can refer to a thing or to a person.
