Creative Just Because Gifts For Your Favorite Friends

By Krystal Branch


We all love our friends and sometimes to show them exactly how much they mean to us we come up with creative just because gifts. These are inexpensive but meaningful trinkets and presents that show them how special they are and how important they are to you. They can be given at any time - the more spontaneous, the better. There are so some many ideas and gestures to choose from!

There's no one that knows your buddies as well as you do and by thinking about their habits, what they like and what they don't like, you will be the expert in choosing these impromptu presents. Decide on how much you can afford to spend and what is out there before making decisions on what to purchase. Often, it is the free, homemade or simplest items that can mean the most to an individual.

Sometimes giving flowers seems so commonplace but there are methods of giving them that will have a lot more impact. A delicate tulip for the first day of spring, a red, white and blue bouquet for the Fourth of July, or a Christmas cactus plant during the holidays can all be such wonderful and unexpected surprises. A single flower on her pillow at night or a bright colored bouquet tucked under her car wipers will make her smile.

There's nothing like the power of chocolate. A tiny box of truffles can be exactly what someone needs. Pull a favorite bar of candy out for instant pleasure. The holidays are wonderful opportunities to shower your friends with attention - and candy. Chocolate covered strawberries for Valentine's Day, chocolate eggs for Easter or chocolate covered cherries at Christmas time will set the stage for a wonderful season.

The way to a friend's heart may be through her stomach. Food is always a wonderful present and there are so many options. A tiny box with a chocolate cupcake inside, a fresh donut first thing in the morning, or homemade bread with exactly the right touch of jam or jelly are unexpected surprises that she will really enjoy.

Coffee shops are great gathering spots and buying a friend a gift card to one of these social areas will be very appreciated. They can be used for hot beverages, cold beverage or snacks. Be sure she invites you to come along when she is ready to use it!

A fun photo of just the two of you or a group of your mutual friends in a special frame will earn an honored spot in her home. Gather photos of the both of you and place in an album for her to flip through at her leisure. A collage of the fun times you have had together would be even better. Having a favorite picture placed on a mug or calendar at a photo shop or drugstore will make her day.

Creative just because gifts are wonderful to give as well as receive. Don't be surprised when you find you've started a tradition of gift-giving that's played forward from one friend to another. Keep your relationships alive with these small but heartfelt gestures - friendships are hard to come by but with just a little effort, you may soon be surrounded by loving and caring individuals.
