On the one hand, choosing a gift for a friend is nowhere easier. After all, you do not need to strictly follow the rules of etiquette, and you know your friend's tastes very well. But on the other hand, you cannot get by with an envelope with money or a banal cosmetic set from the nearest supermarket. After all, a gift should emphasize your attention and love for a loved one.
Instructions
Step 1
Make a gift yourself if you really know how to do something with your own hands. If you are good at photography, arrange a photo session for a friend and present him with some wonderful works with your signature. If you are beading stunning paintings, it is worth spending a few evenings to do a painting for a friend. Things made with talent and love will delight and warm the soul for a long time.
Step 2
Buy a good book. The phrase "A book is the best gift" has been completely undeservedly forgotten lately. Now, when any information can be obtained by spending a few minutes on queries in Internet search engines, books seem to be naive objects of the past. But you must admit how pleasant it is to turn over the thick glossy sheets of a book, inhale the smell of printing ink and look at bright pictures. And the prices of books are quite high to buy any of them whenever you want.
Step 3
Give a friend an experience. What it will be - a certificate for a few hours of equestrian lessons, a ticket for a hot air balloon flight or an invitation to courses in the culinary arts of Vietnam - depends only on your financial capabilities and imagination. And it's not scary that a friend will have nothing material left, but bright and unforgettable emotions are provided for him.
Step 4
Don't dismiss the idea of cosmetics or alcohol as a gift. It is only at first glance that they seem banal. Is it possible to call an uninteresting gift in the form of a bottle of expensive collection wine, bought last year in Italy? If your friend is a true connoisseur of high-quality and rare wines, he will be delighted. And for a girlfriend who is fond of yoga and Ayurveda, it is difficult to find a gift better than real, hand-made Ayurvedic cosmetics from India.
Step 5
Make it a rule to buy gifts long before a significant event. Going on a trip abroad? In addition to funny souvenirs, buy a few unusual and high-quality things and save them for the time being. Received an unexpected award? Spend some of the money on gifts for friends, even if there are still a few months before your birthday or new year. But then you do not have to think about where to get the money, in a hurry to run around the shops and wonder what gift to choose for your friend.
