Creative Just Because Gifts For Your Favorite Friends

By Krystal Branch


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.

You know your friends better than anyone and by examining their personalities, likes and dislikes, you have inside knowledge on what they would really enjoy. Examine your budget and what is available to you before choosing these unique items. Sometimes the simplest things that come from the heart are what will mean the most to individuals.

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 favorite, especially if it is unique or homemade. Make a batch of tiny cupcakes with an elegant icing, homemade rolls with fresh butter can make someone's day, or a smoothie that is chock full of her favorite healthy items will hit the spot. An impromptu home-cooked meal will show someone how much you care for her.

Coffee shop gift cards are the ticket for someone who seems to have everything. They can use them to buy hot beverages or snacks while studying or reading or purchase icy cold beverages during the hot summer months. Make sure there is enough money on the card so she can invite you too!!!

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.

No matter what you choose, these creative just because gifts as an expression of friendship will go far in keeping your close relationships alive. To have friends first means to be a friend. So be a friend and give a tiny expression of loyalty and kinship.
