gift idea for my best friend


Question Posted Wednesday January 6 2016, 7:19 pm

I'm a girl, and it's my best friend's birthday this week, and i need to get her a gift. She's turning 18, and we've been friends since we were little, but I can never come up with anything. Here's some information to help with gift ideas:

She loves reading. She reads lots of books, but I don't want to buy her a book because she only reads them once, and I'm not sure if I would pick one she would enjoy.

She likes to bake, but doesn't need any more cookbooks, or any baking tools/materials.

She enjoys art, but already has paintbrushes, paint, good pencils, and a sketchbook. She also knits and crochets, but she doesn't really need much for that either I don't think.

I can't buy her clothes because I don't know what size she wears or what style of shirt looks good on her.

She does not want any kind of food, seeing as it was just Christmas and she got a lot of chocolate then.

Any suggestions? I am looking to spend about $20, and I don't want to get her something boring like a gift card or movie tickets....It's just so hard to come up with interesting ideas....

Try to give her simple gift. A simple gift that you made with efforts and spent times just to make that gift. It's not the price or the thing that you'll give to her, but it's the efforts that made the gift more special.

does she like nail polishes or manicures??

try this, go to walmart or any beauty supply store and buy a glass mason jar with a wide mouth (not hard to find) then pick out one or two nail polishes you think she might like! then throw in some cotton balls, nail clippers, nail file, the nail polishes, and maybe a small thing of polish remover all in the jar. Tie a ribbon around it and BAM! you have a manicure in a jar that SHE can do on herself! ; )

also look on pinterest for do it yourself little gifts you can make.

good luck!
