How to Select a Gift for Your Best Girl Friend
To Select a Gift for Your Best Girl Friend should not be a very difficult task because although most girls are choosy, there is a lot of variety of women’s gifts in the market.
You could buy her something that she has been hankering for or you could do the unexpected and surprise her with something totally bizarre. Either way, you should be assured of her feelings and her sentiments to buy her something that you know will be appreciated. The cost of the gift is immaterial as long as it is a gift that shows you care. Here are some tips to keep in mind when buying a gift for a best friend who is a girl.
A few gift suggestions:
- First thing to do before buying the gift is to find out what your friend is really interested in. Is it books, sports, music or something else altogether? If you know the likes and interests your quest becomes easier.
- If you feel a little unsure of yourself, there is no harm in asking her what she would like. It is better than to give her something that she has no use for and would not appreciate.
- One thing to keep in mind is to set a price limit. The rule of thumb is - the older the friend the more expensive the gift. Of course if the gift is very thoughtful or something that you have made yourself (like a sweater or a crocheted tablecloth) then the price becomes unimportant.
- Online shops can specialize in nice clothes. For example, you can find superb selection of beautiful Burberry Cashmere Scarves.
- Give her something that you both would enjoy doing together like tickets to a concert or a visit to the spa.
- A very sweet gift would be for you to give her with a frame of a collage of all the photos you have taken together over the years.
Do’s
- Gift-wrap the present attractively. Even old people like the excitement of tearing the wrapping paper open to take out the gift. Most people really appreciate the thoughtfulness and the extra effort of a gift wrapped and tied with a ribbon or a bow.
- Give the gift to your friend yourself. Sending it through the courier is not the same thing.
Don’ts
- Do not buy perfumes and fragrances unless and until you are really sure of her likes and dislikes.
- Don’t buy a gift if you are unsure. Give her gift certificate instead, it will be appreciated.
Yes, wrapping the gift beautifully is very important ! Often the book is known by its cover and the gift is also known by its wrapper!
Also, don’t buy just any flower gift without knowing what certain flowers mean ! Tulips are an undeniable declaration of love and so are deep red roses. If I may share an info-nugget with you, research shows that men prefer red roses whether as women go for pastel colors of roses !
Alright, here are a few flower meanings that you should know before gifting bouquets to your best girl friend !
Tulips - Declaration of love
