Thoughtful gifts show we care, that we made an effort to find something perfect for our friend and that we love to make our girlfriends feel as special as their friendship is to us. But when we’re dealing with bills and sometimes debt, we need to show our love in a little less spendy fashion. And that’s where great girlfriend advice and fun, frugal gifts come in!

So this week we’re sharing the best ways to show a friend how much she means to us, or gift to celebrate a girlfriend’s birthday, without breaking the bank.

Giving Girlfriend Gifts of Gratitude

November 9, 2010 – 5:26 pm

When was the last ‘gift of gratitude’ you gave a girlfriend?

It’s November, the month of Thanksgiving, aka: giving thanks. It’s when we (hopefully!) stop and appreciate the people, and not just things, in our lives. It’s a wonderful time to show gratitude to girlfriends for their friendship and support.

So, no need to wait for a birthday or a recognized holiday to give a ‘I’m so thankful I know you’ gift of love and appreciation. Wouldn’t you feel special if your friend did that for you? Why not start the trend?

Here’s a few ideas for this season of giving thanks (or even a Thanksgiving gift!) – great girlfriend gifts for the amazing women in your life:

Girlfriend Inspired Gifts – for Birthdays or Just Because

October 28, 2010 – 4:22 pm

Who gives the best girlfriend gifts? Well … girlfriends!

Many, many years ago, my girlfriend Paula and I wanted to celebrate the holidays by buying gifts for each other. The only problem – we were actually pretty poor with our first-job-out-of-college paychecks. We decided to give gifts of thoughtful intention. We agreed to think about and share gifts that we would have given each other if money was no object.

I remember searching for ads for products she would enjoy, so I could cut out the photo and write a note about why I thought this was the perfect gift for her. We gave ‘gifts’ of expensive perfume, designer clothes, trips around the world and Read More »

Fall Friendship Girlfriend Gifts

Cool weather, colored leaves, football games … ’tis the season for Fall Girlfriend Gifts!

I love Fall and bringing out my sweaters, scarves and tights. It’s not extreme Winter weather yet, but a cozy time of year that makes me want to layer and bundle up – just a bit. It’s a wonderful time of year for comfy long-sleeved t-shirts, hoodies and for sharing girlfriend gifts.

It’s been a little while (oh, since maybe last Fall!) since we shared some of the great girlfriend gifts we have perfect for Fall birthdays or just because gifts. (I’d recommend Read More »
