We can finally start to see our friends again and make plans with them. Over the last year so many people have not been able to see their friends and celebrate special occasions. So this year it is time to celebrate bigger and better than ever. It can be hard to get gifts for people sometimes so here are some fool proof choices which will leave your bestie happy and excited about the gifts they are going to get. After the last year and all the negativity and problems it is time to go over the top, celebrate everything and enjoy life to the fullest and as much as we can.
Food and drink gifts are a firm favourite, your birthday is all about indulging so it is the perfect time for you to have a little pile of special food and drink treats that you wouldn’t normally have. Costa brings out gift sets all year round so you can have your own costa mug at home. The more adult food presents are always a winner too. You can get their favourite bottle of alcohol or some alcohol related treats like lollies or chocolates made with alcohol that are perfect for a special occasion. Also great in the evening when you are celebrating birthdays together.
One of the best presents to get is something sentimental. So get something personalised. Whether that’s a mug with a picture of you guys all dressed up or on holiday or simply just a beautiful photo frame with a great picture of you together, the possibilities are endless. You can get everything personalised, keyrings, computer mouse mats and even phone cases. Not only is it a great present but it really means something.
You can’t go wrong with flowers. All girls love receiving flowers, they are pretty, they smell nice and they make your space instantly seem nicer. For a birthday present you could go the extra mile and get their birth flowers for them as a present. So if you are thinking how great it is and what is my birth month flower then make sure to give hints about getting them for your birthday too. No one has ever been unhappy to receive flowers. They are a great addition to any present to make it seem more special.
If money is tight, which lets face it, is the reality for a lot of people you could make something as a present. It will still be appreciated and will seem so much more special as you’ve made it yourself. You could make a piece of pottery, a collage of photos of you together as well as something more crafty like sewing them something or painting if you are more artistic.
When you need to buy for the person who has everything it can seem impossible and really hard to think of something to buy for them. In these situations a better option is to look at gifting experiences rather than actual gifts. There is so much you can do, theater shows, afternoon tea, spa day or even something fun and different like having a makeover and then a photoshoot.
A gift option which will be loved by all and is so fool proof that anyone can do it is to get some bath products. Baths are the perfect way to unwind after a long day, recharge and de-stress. Baths are so much more than hot water in a tub now. You can add bath oils, bath salts, muscle soaks and of course the ever popular bath bomb. Bath bombs give that added feel of luxury and excitement when using them.
Your present doesn’t have to be something that stops once the birthday is over. A great and exciting present is something that keeps on gifting. With so many subscriptions boxes about at the moment there is something for everyone. You could get them something where they get biscuits for a few months, make up or even stationary. Whatever they love you can not only get them a present but get them something that keeps on giving for a few months after so they end up with a few presents from you.
Onto the smelly stuff. A fool proof present where you can’t go wrong is getting something that smells good. You can go for the normal choice of candles or diffusers but you can also go one step further and get them something like perfume. A popular perfume choice is to go somewhere where you can mix your own and make it like something that no one else has. You can prove how much you know them by giving them something with all their favorite smells to then be their new signature scent.
The gift of nostalgia if a fab present choice. When you’re besties you know all about what they grew up liking and not liking, what they are upto andprobably foils fff. Getting them something like their favourite childhood toy is something which is really meaningful and fun. A popular choice for the 90’s babies lately is to get Polly pockets. You can find them on second hand shops sites like eBay. They have been a popular choice that they seem to be coming back and you can buy them brand new.
Once you have your gift it doesn’t stop there, then you will need to look at wrapping it up. People can end up spending a fortune on different things. Take advantage of living with someone who will help you let them know their favourite colours and scents. Sometimes they can be quite pricey which is what puts people buying them off regularly, so they are great to have as a treat or a present.
Lastly you will need a card, you can get something great like a card you can personalize or you can go one step further and make the card yourself. Draw, paint, or sew. With any of these choices your bestie will be over the moon and ready to enjoy celebrating together.
