Best Friends Birthday
I'm 16, homeschooled girl from USA.
My best friends birthday is next month and I want to do something special for her. I've known her my whole life but we really got really close in 7th grade and we've been inseparable since.(I mean see each other almost everyday and do everything together.She even says I'm the only person she can tolerate being around for long periods of time)
I love her as much as someone can in a friend way.
She is basically family and has done so much for me throughout my life I doubt she even realizes how much I look up to and respect her, and I feel like I don't help her nearly as much... But anyway, a few months ago for my birthday she posted this really sweet and nice post on facebook that really meant a lot to me, and I wanted to do something equally as nice(if not more so) for hers.
But the thing is I'm terrible with words and explaining feelings....Really terrible. I'd probably embarrass myself or just plain not explain what I meant very well and it just wouldn't be how I wanted it... so I was thinking I could put a cover of me singing(and playing guitar)"Count on Me" by Bruno Mars on there and dedicate it to her, since she knows(at least, I hope she does) how shy I am and how it would take me a lot of courage to do it.
But I feel like that could come across as me taking the spotlight or something plus now I'm strti wondering if that song is to cliche...or just if that's not special enough, i don't know...I'm basically just asking you guys if you think that's a good idea and if not, what's something else I could do instead. Anything you guys could suggest would be a great help!!

I'm so happy for you that you have such a special friend with such a great relationship that you care so deeply and want to do something so thoughtful and personal for her.
It's fine if you're not good with words. And the idea of doing the cover of a song is very creative and sweet.
Honestly, I think you might be so concerned about making it special that you could be over thinking things a little bit. Like whether or not it will seem like your making it all about yourself or that the song is cliche.
Being that you are as close as you are, I am sure she will understand that you are doing this because you care about her and that's all that really matters.
All in all, I think this is a good idea and I say go for it.

Yes, dedicating anything to someone shows they are special enough to you to have earned this honor. So go ahead and do it.

Hi,
I kinda went through the same thing last month,
It was my bffs birthday and I wanted to do something special for her so I looked all over the Internet for ideas. I'm a very shy person too that's why I give advice on the Internet and not in person. I tried thinking of many things like clothes, a large card, performing a song etc. towards the end of the day I ran out of time and ended up singing a song for her. I was afraid she might not like it but she loved it as true friends don't care what you do as long as you put some effort into it. You could make her something or sing a personalised song abt how u feel abt her.
( ps. 'Count on me' isn't cliche )

you could MAKE something for her like a manicure in a jar? maybe pick out what YOU think her favorite color of nail polish would be? then put a nail file, a a nail clipper, some cotton balls, and a travel size bottle of nail polish remover inside a wide mouthed mason jar from walmart!
then tye it with a pretty bow and your set!
alot of times things that are hand made seem to really have more meaning gift wise. your idea of playing a song was a good idea too, and it wouldnt be cliche because you dedicated it to her before you sang it so you wouldnt be stealing any spotlight but if you want do to something a little more toned down, you could make her something too ; )
good luck
