Gift Ideas For....

Our best friends are our comfort zones. We can do with them almost everything, show them who we are without having to worry about being too crappy, mushy, or crazy. Most of the time, they can even finish our sentences, and they can predict our tantrums and wants. And all of these things endear them to us.

There are times when we think about saying “thank you” to them and showing them how much we care for them after all these years. But the hard part of trying to do that is deciding about how we say it, how we do it or what to give them. Most of time, best friends are so close to each other that gifts are simply immaterial to friendship. But gifts are not just little, pretty things that we give, gifts come from the heart. And if you plan on giving you best friend a simple gift outside of any occasion, be rest assured that there are a lot of wonderful gift ideas you can consider.

Basically, because you know your best friend too well, you know what she likes; what she doesn’t likes, and what she enormously adores. And so you will be able to think of the perfect choice, just by thinking about her personality, her fetishes, and her favorites.

• If your friend is someone who just adores music, you can try and look into his or her current albums, see the things he/she adores, and look at the albums of his/her favorite artists that she might not have already bought. It will surprise her and excite her to see that you bought her something she really is crazy about.
• If your friend is a techie, but you are at a moderated budget, you can think about new games or gadgets within your budget that she will be dying to have.
• If your friend is an art aficionado or an artist, you can give her a new set of brushes or a new set of oil paints, to replace her already worn out materials. Or perhaps, you can get a ticket for him or her to see his favorite artist on exhibition.
• If your friend is a bookworm, you can find out the books that she would love to buy but does not have yet, and you can get it for them. It will truly surprise and touch them to see that you went all your way to look into that.
• If your friend is a food lover, you can treat her out to the newest restaurant for you to try out a new menu.
• If your friend loves to travel, you can get him or her a new travelogue so he or she can find his next ideal destination on plan, or if you can afford a holiday for her, you can actually book her to a trip that she so deserves.
• If your friend likes sports, you can simply take him to his favorite team’s championship, and you can watch it together.

All of these things are very simple gifts that are not really lavish but heartfelt. On the other hand, if you really want to give them something they can remember you with, you can have a necklace, a bracelet, a diary or a jewelry case personalized for them.

Remember that real friends will not care about how expensive your gift is. They will always look beyond any price, and instead, will thank you for your intention.
