Do you think that giving your best friend a gift card is too impersonal?
Because the thing is even though we are really close I have no clue what to give her. Then any time I ask what she wants she just says, 'Whatever you know what I like.' And infact I do know what she likes but she seems to already have everything.
So is a gift card really something you could give a best friend?
♥ Thanks.

most definetly just tel her this is what you got her b/c she already has everything she like and now she can something she really wants just make sure it is to a store you know she really likes--can never go wrong with gift cards

although i am disagree with almost everyoen elses answer, i honestly don't think a gift card is the best idea. when you get a gift card you are showing the person how much you spent. unless you & your friend decided on a specific amount to spenf on each other, i don't think it's appropriate to give her that. if you absolutley have no idea what to give her it's fine, but seeing as she's your best friend, you should probaably kow her enough to thnk of something she might like! and incase she doesn't, include a gift recit so she can return it & buy something she does like!

a gift card is a good way to let them pick out what they want. because there's always a chance they won't like what you buy, so its alot easier, and can sometimes show you care more because you want to give them the chance to get what they want. :)

no its really not, give her a gift card to a store you know she loves and then add a card & write some stuff in it to make it somewhat personal..giftcards are really an awesome gift. whether its to abercrombie or to starbucks ( :

I think many people do think that they are too impersonal but I love getting gift cards. I'd rather get a gift card than something I don't like. You get to pick out you're own gift, it's great haha.
But, even though I like getting them, I feel weird giving them sometimes. Because it's kind of like saying, "Hey, even though we've been friends for a long time, I still don't know what to get you!"
Sometimes it works if you buy something that you'd want, if you have the same taste that is. Or maybe go to the mall with her and if she points out something that she like go back another time and buy it for her.
If you can't do that, I think it'd be fine to give her one. Write something cute on the card holder though. Like--
"I thought about what to get you and everything that came in mind, you already had! So decided to give you this. Get yourself something, it's on me ;)."

yes, completely, i gave my best friend a bunch of giftcards for her birthday, and shes getting one and a few little gifts for Christmas. I think they enjoy it more.. atleast mine does, cuz then we can go shopping together to find something !
hope i helped

A gift card is really good. If you don't think it's enough, you can always buy her some cute earrings, a scarf, necklace, make-up bag, braclets, anything like that and give it to her with the giftcard. =)

I personally don't think a gift card is a bad idea!! I would get it for my best friend. It doesn't matter what you get, it's the fact that you took the time to get something. If she is a girly girl, I would just buy her a whole bunch of smaller items. Like a make up set, perfumes, CD, necklaces, earings.. things like that. I still think a gift card is a good idea though. :D

a gift card doesnt seem like you put a lot of time and effort into it. i have some suggestions for you.
a cd
makeup
a cute necklace or bracelet
a scarf
her favorite movie
concert tickets to see her favorite band
a framed picture of the two of you
scrapbook filled with pictures of you two
pjs
slippers
perfume
bath confetti

It is definitely a good gift for her. I don't think it's impersonal. If I were you, I'd give her a good amount on it since she's your best friend and all. This way, with a gift card, she can get something she absolutely loves. Even if you guys are close, you can't read her mind. Everyone has a different style that can change on impulse.
Go for the gift card...I'm sure picking out her favorite store won't be hard :)
good luck!

Yeah, I mean, if she takes it like your rude or something just explain to her that, you weren't sure what quite to get her so you got her a gift card so she could get what she wanted.

I think you shouldnt get her a gift card. No offense but shes your best friend. Get her some cute jewelry or maybe you 2 can go out together and maybe get like a manicure/pedicure and go out to eat and go shopping. I know I like when my friends do that for me instead of getting me a gift. Cause getting a gift is good and all but think about it. Wouldnt you rather spend time with your best friend and have fun rather then get a gift? hope this helps.. Kellie <3

well. no offence but if she is your best friend you probably should get her a real presant. But if you are gonna get her a gift card dont just get her any old gift card give her one that is from her favorite store or somthing to show that you out more though than just giving her a gift card.
Even because she is your best friend doesnt mean you have to spend the most money on her just get something simple.
hope i helped

Hey
I'm going to be VERY honest with you sweetie! If she's your "BEST FRIEND" then yeah a gift card is a really bad idea! I don't know about your friend but i personally would be pretty upset, if not mad if i got a gift card from a best friend! The gift itself is a good idea, but not for someone your close to.
Why don't you buy her a card, fill it out with some warm,words and thoughts, on top of that get her some
perfume. I really like Fantasy by Britney Spears,PARIS HILTON for women, Angel, Gucci RUSH 2, Tommy Hilfiger True Star, Anna Sui Sui Dreams, Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue, those are just some of my favorites. If you don't think she'll like perfume try getting her a cute top, or jeans at hollister. I'm sure even if she shops there she doesn't own everything in the store. Here's a thought does she have her belly priced? If so try getting her a bunch of belly rings. You could always get her accessorizes. I really don't know alot about your friend,so if you want more ideas then simply just IM me on aim DiOr BARBIEE or leave a comment in my inbox! I'll be more then happy to help!
