We all have friends, right? These are those special people who add bliss and happiness in our lives. They are the ones who have lent us their shoulders in times of pain. They have cried and laughed alongside us. Yeah, more often than not, they are also willing to be our partner in crime and love and in whatever crazy plans our brains can think of conjuring. In times of need, they are the ones who are always ready to bear our burdens without a single complaint. And on many occasions, they have proven to be much better than some boyfriends.

Sharing food? Check. Defend each other in times of need? Check. Gossip non-stop? Check. Checking out hot guys? Watch horror movies? Check and check. Yes, we all have done these things together with our dearest friends. So, isn’t it great that we get to pamper those people on Friendship Day? Make this day a day for them to remember – fill it with all of your love and show them how much they mean to you. For you, it’s the most perfect opportunity to show your appreciation for them. Make it the bestest Friendship Day to remember. That is, until next year, of course.

Who doesn’t get excited at the prospect of getting gifts? All the more so, when an occasion is just around the corner. Say, Friendship Day, for instance. After all, days like these adds a special meaning to our lives. The gifts that you receive and give to your besties – they can brighten even the gloomiest of days. The joy of receiving a gift is second to none. While some likes surprises, there are many who would like to rip open their gifts as soon they can get their hands on it.

Now, would you like to ruin that moment by getting a gift completely unsuitable to their tastes? You don’t ever want to be ‘that’ person who didn’t know about the person’s likes and dislikes and ended up gifting a completely different gift. Ouch. No matter how much you like shopping, there are certain factors to be considered when you are on your way to buy a gift. From your budget to their preferences, there should be no room for making errors.

To pick up the best gift, you have to know the person very well. It is recommended that you start by making a list of their likes, right from the minute details. Depending on their preferences, list down all the possible gift ideas and analyze everything. For instance, if your friend is a bookworm or simply enjoys reading, then, it makes sense to make a list of books and gift them the one which they would love to read. Try to find such a gift which they need and will definitely love to have. Investing your time in such gift ideas will be worth it and will give you a clear picture of your gift idea.

It goes without saying that in order to choose the perfect gift, you will have to experiment. Avoid the stereotypes – break the usual norm and go for something different. Clichéd gifts are boring and if you decide to go that way, they will feel as if you hadn’t put in any efforts for the person. Try to be creative with your ideas. Why not search the internet and see whether you can find anything that you can make from scratch?

It is important that whatever gift you decide for your friend – they should be something magical. They don’t have to be expensive, rather they can be something unique and which will remind them of you. It is suggested that you should try to consider giving them a gift which reminds them of a special day or event. Even a photo frame of your friends together will do. Customise it with their favourite quote and you are good to go. Gifts make people feel special, so, why not make the best out of it by gifting them something meaningful and significant yet beautiful in their own way.

Who says that expensive gifts are the only way to make someone feel special? It is high time to bust that myth. Yes, if you are practically rolling in money, then, it makes sense to get expensive and lavish gifts. That being said, if you are low in budget, what do you do? Even then, you have nothing to worry about. Get something that comes within the range of your budget and is creative.

In the end, no matter what type of gift you decide to go for, don’t forget to add your special touch. Doing that makes the gift more personal and not to mention, exciting. It will connect to the person and will always remind them of you. Want to bring a smile on your friend’s face?
