Treating your closest friends can be a nightmare. These people are there for you no matter what, and you want to show your gratitude in style. They deserve something better than a bland toiletries set. On the other hand, you can’t buy them something too expensive. Partly because you have other priorities and partly because you don’t want to make them feel bad if they can’t afford to return the favor.
Striking the right balance is vital. But you do know these people inside out. All groups are made up of different individuals. Use their personal passions in life to find the perfect gift, and you’ll be shopping like a pro in no time. Merry Christmas.
The Sports Lover
We all know a sports enthusiast, and we love their passion. Better still, it can make buying the perfect present easy. Celebrate their favorite pastime, and you can’t go far wrong.
You can always buy tickets to an upcoming fixture involving their favorite team. However, the best present is one that will last forever. Try finding some cheap sporting memorabilia signed by their favorite player, and it’s bound to take pride in their home.
If all else fails, any clothing with the club’s emblem emblazed on it will be a winner. Go sports!
The Music Lover
Music plays a big role in the lives of millions. But some people tend to take that passion one step further. If it’s the thing that puts a smile on their face more than anything else, you’d be foolish not to capitalize.
One of the best ways to enhance their listening habits is with a great pair of headphones. There are many great options on the market that won’t break the bank. If they are into their vinyl records, then treating them to an LP that’s hard to find will show you’ve put in the extra effort.
In the modern world, though, most people listen to music digitally. An iTunes voucher or Spotify credit will work just fine.
The Smartphone Lover
We live in a society where most people are constantly looking at their smartphones. While you aren’t going to buy your friend a new device, you can certainly improve their experiences.
Unique Apple iPhone 6s cases will offer added protection and style. Even if the recipient does have phone insurance, this gift won’t go unappreciated. Moreover, there are plenty of cool accessories such as mini tripods for people that use their camera a lot.
The key is to find an item that will enhance the individual’s interaction with the phone. Get this step right, and it’s set to be the perfect gift.
The Gym-Goer
Let’s face it, we’re all blessed with a friend that is addicted to the gym. They seem to spend every last minute of free time lifting weights or running. It keeps them fit, and it keeps them happy. Quite frankly, we wish we had the same enthusiasm for a healthy life. Oh well…
As far as their gym habits are concerned, they are set in their ways. However, you could treat them to a magazine subscription. Gym lovers enjoy immersing themselves with as much information as possible. Besides, each issue is another reminder of the present and the relationship that you share.
If nothing else, it gives them something to keep them occupied when completing their cycling warm up.
The Beauty Lover
Looks are important in this world. But we’ve all got a few friends that dedicate more time to keeping up appearances than we could ever dream of doing ourselves. Embrace it, and you’ll have no problems finding the perfect gift.
If you know what fragrance she wears, then that’s always a safe bet. However, if you are unsure, then it’s best to stay away from makeups and other beauty products. Instead, you’re better off buying items to help application.
Your friend loves looking her best. Help her achieve it, and she’ll love you forever.
The Thrill Seeker
Friendship isn’t only about being there for each other. It’s equally about creating special moments together. They can become a little less frequent as we grow older, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy some adventure.
Treating your friend to an activity day is the perfect option. It gives you both something to look forward to, and there are so many different ideas that you should have no problem finding the perfect solution.
This can also be a fantastic option for treating several people at once. You’ll get to enjoy a group day out, which is great. Furthermore, it helps you kill several birds with one stone.
The Business Person
Our jobs are important. But for many, success in the workplace is the ultimate satisfaction. If this sounds like your friend, then use those sentiments to your advantage.
There are many small items that will improve their working day. Business card holders and other organizational tools will help. Alternatively, a great fountain pen can help them throughout their working life.
If you’re still struggling for ideas, then a piece of work clothing can help. Whether it’s a tie for a man or shoes for a woman. Either way, these are essential items that will need buying. You’ll be doing them a huge favour.
The Family Person
Nothing is more important than our families. This is one of the central themes of Christmas. Celebrate theirs, and your friend will love the gift forever.
Canvas art is a great idea to brighten up their home. It could either be a word cloud or a photograph of their family. Either option is set to work wonders. Meanwhile, you could buy something that will encourage family time. Even if it’s something simple like a board game. After all, family activity is becoming a dying art.
Improving your friend’s family life will bring a bigger smile than anything. At the end of the day, happiness is the greatest gift of all.
What are some of your gift ideas for your favorite friends? I’d love to know!
