With friendship day just around the corner, all of us are busy reminiscing on our old friends. However, some of those friends are very special to us and we cannot imagine passing that day without giving them a gift as a token of our appreciation. We hope to convey our feelings of gratitude and their value in our lives through the gift we give them. So, the process of choosing a gift for our friend is one in which some thought must be put into.

Also, we don't have only a single friend whom we wish to give gifts to. We have many and to buy each of them a gift which conveys our feelings to them can be a burden on our budget.

Here at BP Guide, we aim at making the process a little bit easier for you. We have come up with 10 different friendship day gift ideas to help you choose meaningful gifts, on a budget! With this guide, choose special gifts for all your special friends and revel in the celebration of your togetherness.

There are tons of gifts you can give your friend. That doesn't mean that you have to give them those. Giving something your friend actually needs is a great way to tell them that you are aware of their needs and have been paying attention to their lives. This not only makes your friend feel appreciated but also makes him/her feel valued.

The best way you can do this is by paying rapt attention to their words. They must have told you at one point or the other that they want a particular thing. Just go back and think of all the times your friend mentioned something he/she wants. If they don't possess it yet, your problem is solved. Just go to the store, purchase it and wrap it up in a pretty paper. Your job is done! You have your perfect gift ready.

You can easily add your touch to any store-bought gift by either adding something which they like( chocolates, maybe?) or by writing them a special note. You can also consider giving them something completely handmade. Handmade gifts convey thoughtfulness and love more than anything else. You can make these gifts by choosing something that both you and your friend relate to or something which symbolises your relationship.

A scrapbook with all the photos you've clicked together is both fun to make and to gift. While making it, you are sure to remember the old times you've spent together and when your friend receives it, he/she will be able to go down memory lane as well. A handmade bracelet or a necklace is a great option if you have a female best friend.

Let's say you have a friend who loves art. Maybe he/she paints. Just pay attention to the glow in his/her eyes when he/she receives a set of paint brushes or an artwork by his/her favourite artist. You are bound to see emotions flowing. These things may not mean a lot to you but gift giving is all about giving something which your friend will definitely enjoy and cherish. Pay close attention to what they love, their passions and then see if they need anything related to fulfilling/practising their passion. Gift them that! They will love you for what you've done.

Gifting your friend an experience is one of the best things you can actually do. A person might remember and use a materialistic thing for a while but an experience is etched into the memory. The joy which your friend feels is invaluable when both of you experience something together. The more adrenaline rush you experience together, the more your bond deepens. You can also choose a classic spa experience if your friend loves to just lay back and relax.

Talk about anything and everything. Remind your friend about the good old days. Laugh together and chill! This will not only be a break from the daily hectic schedules but will also be very refreshing to both of you.
