Celebrate Your Closest Friends with These Gift Ideas
Whether it’s the holidays or for a special celebration, these gift ideas show your friends how much you care. When choosing a gift, thoughtfulness and attention to detail shines through and highlights the best of any friendship. No matter what you choose, your friendship is the real treasure. These ideas will help you come up with a special gift that is as unique as your friendship.
Best Friends Forever
Grab a photo of you and your best friend, and put it in a stylish frame. If you are crafty, you can even make your own! Choose a photo that your friend hasn’t seen for a fun surprise. Or, give your friends the chance to enjoy an experience and make memories together. Maybe something adventurous, like paintball or rock climbing, or a special concert for a music lover. Set up a time for the two of you to try something new that they’ve mentioned they’re interest in for an especially memorable gift. Listen closely to conversations to figure out if they would like attending an art exhibit or taking a fun new exercise class.
Practical Gifts for the Friend Who is Always In Sync
For your most practical friend, choose something that speaks to their ultra-organized personality. Makeup storage or a personalized gym bag keeps them simultaneously organized and stylish. Notebooks and colored pens are always appreciated by the super organized, or splurge on something they wouldn’t buy themselves like a necklace, watch or even a trendy pair of sunglasses. Tickets to their favorite sporting event and dinner afterwards is a gift that both of you will remember for a long time.
School Daze
Since you and your friends spend so much time at school, it’s the perfect inspiration for a gift! Fun locker accessories help maintain your storage and will brighten up their day. Dry eraser boards, frame decals and locker lights add personalization to the mundane rows of lockers in the halls. Hoodies and sweaters in your school colors serve a purpose and also show your spirit! Add a hat or socks to match for a fun, school-themed gift.
All About You
Splurge on gifts that communicate to your friend that it’s all about them. Make a spa kit with nail polishes, scrubs, lotions and a comfy robe. Add a pair of slippers for a soothing spa gift for friends who like to relax. Choose a monogrammed towel, shampoo, body spray and duffle bag for the athlete in your group.
Brighten Up Their Room
A bedroom upgrade is always a bonus. Gift friends a wall light or stringed lights for something that’s easy to install and will transform small spaces. Plus, they can be super festive and look great all year round. Removable wall decals come in various themes. Choose one that matches your friend’s personality. If you and your best friends enjoy overnights, consider some fun sleepover accessories like a beauty mirror or foot bath machine.
Call Me Maybe
Snappy phone accessories are a welcomed gift from most teens. Who doesn’t love a new phone case or a pair of headphones? Grab a phone holder, too, for those who want to watch movies on their nightstand. Gift lens covers to convert their smartphone into a photography studio. You will both enjoy taking and sharing the photos with your group. Pair these gifts with a chamois cloth and cleaning kit to keep them looking stylish and sharp.
