Best Friend Gift Ideas
At first, it seems like giving a gift to your best friend is a piece of cake.
You know her better than practically anyone. You know what she likes and what
she likes to do. But, since she is you best friend, you want to give her
something special, something to show her how much you appreciate her and love
her. That means the pressure is on, which can make even the best gift-givers a
little nervous.
Here are some ideas (and discounts, coupons, and specials) to help you show your
best friend that you cherish her - whether it's her birthday or the
holidays.
Event tickets are great because it's like a double gift. You
get to give your best friend a a great night or afternoon out, and you get to share in a
special memory with her. You can easily find good deals on tickets to
plays, sporting events, museum exhibits, or concerts by doing a little online
digging.
The first place to look is:
RazorGator - a leader in the event ticket industry that provides customers
with a connection to Hard-To-Get tickets for any sports, concert and theater
event.) (Click
here for current coupons and money-saving promotions.)
Also, check out
Viator Tours, for all
kinds of unique tours sure to make an impression (and a lasting memory). The
Viator Tours "Red Hot
Discounts" page is here.
Best
friends are also bound to love a relaxing day at a spa.
You can
even book two massage appointments and make it a trip for the both of you.
SpaFinder.com has some amazing spa gift baskets, including the
Ultimate Spa Anti-Stress Experience (shown at right).
You can combine the gift baskets with spa gift certificates in various
denominations. These certificates are accepted at more than 4,000 spas worldwide
and are redeemable for spa treatments, vacation experiences, spa products, and
more. We love SpaFinder.com so much that we update our site every time they have
a new promotion: SpaFinder Coupons at
Momscape
If you and your friend are both male, a day spa trip may not be up your alley.
In this case, you can book an afternoon at the golf course, a hunting weekend or
a day of fishing as a present for your friend. Golf lessons or tennis lessons
are a gift that a best friend of either gender would appreciate.
You can put a spin on her favorite books, movies or television shows by buying
your friend special memorabilia. You can find items such as props, posters, scripts
and autographed items on online auction sites like eBay. Make sure to set a
budget for your spending so you don't pay too much for the item. It can be
tempting to keep raising the bid to get the memorabilia you really want, but try
to stay within your budget.
Another great unisex gift idea is food. Everyone loves food, and you can make a
food related gift personalized by zeroing on your friend's preferences and
tastes. If your friend loves sushi, give her a cookbook and a sushi starter
kit. If barbecue is more her style, a selection of specialty barbecue sauces is
a perfect gift.
Gourmet chocolate is a great idea for a friend who has a sweet
tooth. (Harry
& David's Truffles
are ridiculously yummy.) Harry and David
also has an amazing
Harry and David Fruit-of-the-Month Club®,
which is consistently one if its top sellers.

If
your best friend enjoys wine, check out wine.com for great gift baskets (Today's
Wine.com coupons are
here). Food related gifts are always appreciated, and
they can be very easy to buy.
If you'd like to get your friend a personalized gift, you can create a
photo collage
of your friendship that they'll be sure to appreciate. Collect pictures and
other memorabilia from the times you've hung out, trips you've taken together or
events you've attended. You can make a scrapbook of your time together, or buy a
wall collage that will hold all of your photographed memories. Photo websites,
such as PhotoWorks,
Snapfish, and
Shutterfly all feature ways to make
albums and other photo gift ideas in a flash.
No matter what kind of gift you choose to give your best friend, they'll
appreciate the thought you put into the gift. Keep in mind that it's not the
size or the type of gift that matters, but the spirit in which it is a given.
