Give Your BFF the Best Birthday Ever!

A best friend is someone who will always be there for you, no matter what. They have your back through thick and thin. You know if they are in a jam or need help with anything, they will call on you to come running. And when it’s your birthday? They’ll hand over their credit card without even being asked! Check out these nine great gift ideas for the BFF in your life!

Gift ideas for your BFF

1. The best friend’s all-time favorite movie and a container of popcorn to go with it! You can’t go wrong with this gift; they’ll love you for it.
2. A personalized mug so that friends are never without coffee or tea near them when they’re sitting at their desk working hard on something important (or binge watching your favorite shows). They’ll be grateful every time they use it!
3. Help them get organized by giving them some fun office supplies. Things like pens in bright colors, sticky notes, paperclips…anything will do, really. Make sure the packaging is cute as well – no one likes boring gifts like these!
4. Buy a nice bottle of wine to drink together and have a heart-to-heart talk about anything, good or bad! This idea is always a winner!
5. Give them something personal that only you could know: Your favorite song on CD for their car stereo (they’ll love the mixtape!) or an iTunes gift card so they can add some new songs to their playlist too.
6. If you want to be super creative – go with DIY friendship bracelets as one of your gifts this year! All it takes is some string, beads, scissors, and patience; anyone can do it! They will adore you forever if they receive this thoughtful yet inexpensive gift idea from you.
7. You can’t go wrong with a thoughtful handwritten letter to your best friend every now and then. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy; just make sure the words come from the heart!
8. If you’re feeling really good about yourself this year, why not give them something they’ve always wanted but never bought for themselves? A new pair of shoes or boots perhaps?
9. If she has children of her own, consider getting them something special as well! A kids’ jewelry set would be adorable (and sparkly!) while still being practical for mom too. If there’s one thing a mom loves more than being spoiled, it’s when their kids are being spoiled as well!
10. You can never go wrong with some good ole flowers – they have a way of making anyone feel super special, and you can arrange for same day flower delivery to make sure she receives them on time!

What NOT to do when buying a gift for your friend?

First, don’t buy your BFF a gift they don’t like or want and then refuse to take it back. Secondly, avoid buying something that is “in” because you think your friend will love it – nobody wants the same socks from last year’s Christmas party! You can also ask for help with ideas online – there are great resources out there where people share their favorite things. It’s important to skip giving a present altogether, you’re her best friend, and she’d love something from you alone that reflects the years you’ve been in each other’s lives.

What to think about before buying a gift?

What does your BFF love to do outside of work and hobbies? How about some things that make them happy? Also, make sure you have an accurate budget before starting shopping! This way, you’ll have a clear idea of the type of present you can go for, and your search will be narrowed considerably. Next, think about anything they might need? Have they been eyeing something for a while but never bought it because they’re too busy looking after their family?

What are some things they’ve been talking about wanting for a while now? Buying something like this won’t just help your friend out, but also shows you’ve been listening to them and care about what they need. If you are feeling crafty and want to DIY something special for them, that will also show a degree of care and consideration! Do they have hobbies (or interests) that could help point you in the right direction? Time to dive into what you know about your BFF to get the best gift idea!

How to plan a party for your best friend

Start by deciding on a location! Make it somewhere your friend would love, or maybe a place they’ve wanted to go to for a while? Think about the size of the party you want – small, intimate, or large and crazy. This will help determine the theme/decorations. Next, consider what food you might offer guests (hint: if it’s for breakfast, think coffee cake!). Maybe even some appetizers like mini quiches with different fillings, so people don’t get bored as they’re walking around chatting.

Ensure there is adequate seating for everyone at the event. Whether that means finding chairs from another room in the house or renting them out! You won’t regret it when someone gets tired of standing up because they’re chatting with their best friend. Pick a date early on! Don’t forget to let everyone know via social media or text to avoid last-minute confusion on the day of your event. Lastly, consider what you’ll be doing at the party – will it just be talking? Board games, watching movies, cheese and wine fest?

You can also have fun decorations available for people to take home if they want. This will let them uniquely commemorate the day and show your friend the thought into the party! What kind of drinks will you serve (like water, sodas or something more fun)? Remember to make a playlist you can set up before people come over; better yet, make a playlist of your best friend’s favorite songs and artists!
