Giving Great Girlfriend Gifts | Gift Ideas
Don’t you love gifts from girlfriends who KNOW you and KNOW what you’d like? My friend Terri is that kind of girlfriend. Recently we were together (we live 750 miles apart) and, having November and December birthdays, we celebrated them in between. Neither of us have tons of money to purchase elaborate gifts, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is that we KNOW each other – our likes, personalities and preferences.
It does help that we have common likes. We both love coffee (and always laugh over a day we both spilled coffee down our shirts at a seminar!). We love music, jewelry, dogs and wine. Good things to have in common!
But we also have different likes … She is a fabulous cook and my husband does all the cooking in my home. I love to craft and she would rather craft out a great menu. Together I think we make a great pair!
For my birthday I received a cool coffee candle and I gave her a coffee cup to remind her of me. She gave me fabulous crystal earrings and I made her some sparkly candle holders. (I think she got the bad end on that deal!) As our tradition, she gave me an annual musical selection CD (love that!) and I gave her a Girlfriendology BFF apron from the Girlfriendology Store. (There are even more girlfriend gifts on Girlfriendology.com!)
I love my gifts and I love giving gifts to my wonderful BFF. The meal, of course, was perfect and the wine was fine! However, the best gift was just her friendship and spending time together. It never fails, Terri always teaches me to be a better friend and to give thoughtful, special gifts to girlfriends!
The holidays are here as well as the season of giving girlfriend gifts. Consider your friends’ favorite things, hobbies, personality. Look for unique ways to show female friends how special their friendship is to you. Maybe even make her something and/or wrap your gifts creatively to fit the them of your present or her personal style. Show her how much you appreciate the gift of her friendship!
