Finding the perfect gift is never easy, especially if the recipient is someone you care about a lot, like your best friend. When a special occasion approaches, you should give her a unique gift that she will always remember and show her how much you care about her. Take your time to create an unforgettable gift.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Create an Experience for Your Friend
Step 1. Plan an outing together
Tell her to keep free for an afternoon or evening and take her on an adventure. People often prefer experiences to objects, such as gifts. Gifts of that kind are memorable, because they allow you to spend time together. You will not only make her a wonderful gift, but you will also create special memories to share.
Think about a trip together. Go for a walk or hike, or take a trip to the zoo or amusement park. Use this opportunity to explore a place you've never been before
Step 2. Choose a gift that she can enjoy on the day of her choice
Give your best friend something she can enjoy in the future, like a treatment at a beauty center or tickets to a concert. That way she'll have something she can't wait to do when her birthday is past.
- Massages and manicures are great ways to give your friend some quality time for herself. These are vices for which he would normally not spend. She will be grateful to you for those experiences.
- A lovingly chosen DVD or book is a thoughtful gift that will give your friend an enjoyable and relevant experience.
- A couple of concert or movie tickets to use together can show your best friend that you enjoy spending time with her. It represents your desire to continue sharing experiences together.
Step 3. Cook for her
A homemade meal takes time and attention, plus it shows your appreciation for your friend. It will also allow you to spend time together and create a beautiful memory.
Sweets are a thoughtful gift. Wrap them in a nice jar or colorful tin can. Make her her favorite desserts to let her know you know her tastes
Method 2 of 3: Prepare a Homemade Gift
Step 1. Create a gift with photos
You can prepare a collage of old photos or order a personalized calendar with photos of you together. These are special and nostalgic gifts, which will give you the opportunity to reflect on the moments spent together.
- Create a scrapbook from old photos and decorate it with card stubs, magazine parts and items that remind you of your friendship. You can leave blank pages in your notebook to insert the memories you will make in the future.
- Frame a special photo of you two. Decorate the frame and you will have a unique gift that will always remind her of you.
- Order a t-shirt, mug or iPhone case for your friend with a photograph of the two of you together. These useful items will remind her of your friendship every time she uses them.
Step 2. Create a video for your friend
Gather all her friends and create a series of video messages. Edit the video with her favorite music in the background and you will create something that will warm her heart forever.
Step 3. Create a personalized gift box
Collect her favorite foods and beauty products in a box, then decorate the outside. Include framed photos of the two of you and small items that make you think of her.
Step 4. Give her a compilation made just for her
Discover the artists and songs she likes best and copy them to a CD or USB key.
- Consider creating a series of playlists based on different emotions and moods. Decorate each CD according to the type of music it contains.
- If you can play an instrument, record a video while singing or playing one of his favorite songs. This is a priceless gift that takes a lot of time and effort, it will certainly be unique. Upload the video to YouTube or copy it to a USB key to give her, so she can watch it whenever she wants.
Method 3 of 3: Buying a Personal Gift
Step 1. Consider his personality and tastes
Make sure you choose a gift that fits your friend's lifestyle. Put yourself in his shoes. Find something she could buy and not items that only you find interesting.
- If she loves physical activity, buy her some fresh organic juices or workout clothes.
- If she loves movies, create a themed gift box by pairing her favorite DVDs with popcorn and a comfy blanket.
- If you take the time to choose a specific object for her tastes and you are not satisfied with a generic gift, you will make your friend understand how much it is worth to you.
Step 2. Review your messages and any e-mails you have exchanged
You have a whole digital library of conversations that you can use to find clues about his wishes. You might surprise her with something she hinted at in a conversation months ago!
Step 3. Research his hobbies and interests
Get her something that is relevant to her passions. If she is crocheting or playing a sport, buy a specific item she can use.
Make sure you research the best gifts if you're not familiar with your friend's hobbies
Advice
- There is no need to spend a lot of money on the gift. The monetary value of a gift has little to do with how much it will be appreciated. The most thoughtful gifts aren't always the most expensive.
- Give her a handwritten card. You and your friend probably spend a lot of time communicating digitally. Taking the time to write to her is an intimate way to show her the value of your friendship.
- Give her the gift with confidence and a smile. Don't try to show the value of friendship with the price tag!
