You definitely know your best friend well. But do you know your friend well enough to give the perfect gift for his or her birthday? Most of us are sure not. Plus it is too hard to give something of a specific budget to someone we love and to someone we owe our lives to. So what do you do?
Personalized your gift:
No matter how expensive your gift is, it will be of a total waste if you do not know how to add your personal touch to your gift. Similarly, a simple gift that can speak volumes about the relationship you and your friend share can mean a lot to them.
First, decide on the budget of your gift. Later, you can start hunting for the perfect gift in that price range. It is better that you start saving in advance if you want to gift something really expensive. Plus you get really good gifts and the options are wide when your budget is wide too.
Say you are getting jewellery for your jewel crazy friend. Make sure that you give them something that you know they will love. Stay away from jewels that have initials and names on them as a symbol of personalization. That is the oldest form of personalization.
Instead opt for gifts that are somehow relatable to your friend or the bond that you share with your friend.
Keeping it simple:
In case you do not have any idea about what to gift, the best way is to make a photo album of the pictures that you two have in common. Write down your feelings and give your own captions to the pictures no matter how corny or hilarious it is.
To make it more cute and girly, you could do the same in a scrapbook and give it to your best friend. You can design it on your own with glitters and the like. Also, another way is to gift them something that is identical to what you have. In short, both of you will have something in common that shows your friendship.
With these ideas, it is sure that your best friend will have a very good day and that your gift will be a great memory rather than just an object.
