Creative just because gifts are a wonderful manner of showing friends and family how much we care about them. These impromptu presents will go far in making someone's day. They don't have to be huge or expensive - often it is the simplest, most heartfelt tokens and trinkets that will mean the most to them.
There's no one that knows your buddies as well as you do and by thinking about their habits, what they like and what they don't like, you will be the expert in choosing these impromptu presents. Decide on how much you can afford to spend and what is out there before making decisions on what to purchase. Often, it is the free, homemade or simplest items that can mean the most to an individual.
Flowers are a fairly common present, especially roses and carnations, but you can choose the unexpected to get more of an impact. Delicate calla lilies in a chunky vase are a rare treat, a bundle of Dutch tulips will bring a smile to her face. A bundle of wildflowers in a vintage can will make a unique centerpiece. Find unusual methods to present the blooms - next to the bed when she wakes up or tucked under the wipers of her car for her to find when she goes to work or school
Almost everyone has a sweet tooth. A giant lollipop, an over sized licorice whip or yards of chewing gum will make her laugh. Pull her favorite chocolate bar out just when she needs it - at a study break, right after a meal or with a glass of red wine. Bring back some of the sweets of her childhood such as caramel candy or bubble gum and share some special moments and memories. A candy cane at Christmas time or a small chocolate bunny at Easter will be sure to make her holidays brighter.
Food is always a welcome surprise, especially if it is homemade. A loaf of homemade bread, rich chocolate cupcakes, or crisp chocolate cookies would make anyone happy. Make her a healthy but sweet smoothie from fruits, yogurt and greens to start her day off just right.
Coffee shops are great gathering spots and buying a friend a gift card to one of these social areas will be very appreciated. They can be used for hot beverages, cold beverage or snacks. Be sure she invites you to come along when she is ready to use it!
Select a picture of yourself and your friend and put it in a special frame. Go through all of your old photos and choose several for an album that she will always cherish. Make a collage out of some of them too. Another favorite photo could be placed on a coffee mug or tee shirt at your local photo shop or drugstore.
Creative just because gifts are wonderful to give as well as receive. Don't be surprised when you find you've started a tradition of gift-giving that's played forward from one friend to another. Keep your relationships alive with these small but heartfelt gestures - friendships are hard to come by but with just a little effort, you may soon be surrounded by loving and caring individuals.
