Christmas is a date in which the occasions for gift-giving multiply: some people have birthdays, there are company dinners, the invisible friend is celebrated, Santa Claus comes, the Three Wise Men arrive… These are events in which we must think of ideas for gifts and in most cases, we like to look good and hit a detail that the person for whom it is intended will love.
In this sense, the more you know the person, the easier it is to fall for the perfect gift. We know what you like and what you don’t and we can fine-tune where ideas can go. However, if we have been giving gifts for a long time, it seems that -in the end- these ideas are repeated or come to an end and, on some occasions, our brains “empty”.
In the case of our friends, this often happens. We want to be original and not repeat ourselves, but we have been giving away details for so long that it seems that there is not much choice. What to give a friend for Christmas? In this article, we have made a list of ideas ordered based on your budget: from the cheapest idea to the most expensive. All you have to do is take a look and choose! Your friend will love your Christmas present!
What can I give a friend for Christmas? 11 proposals:
The first thing you should think about is what your friend’s personality is like, maybe that way you will be able to narrow down a bit where you want to direct the gift. Secondly, review your last conversations with him, it is one of the ways in which you will be able to realize if he has given you any clues about what he wants for Christmas. If you still can’t find anything, don’t worry. These are some original ideas that we have collected to inspire you.
A very special checkbook
There are books with very special vouchers, both for your friends and for your girlfriends: days to gossip, to make your favorite plan even if you hate it, to party until dawn… It’s a great gift to show how much you love matters and that your gift is that, on some occasions, you are willing to make the plan that he or she wants.
A box to use every day
The gifts that are used every day seem to be enjoyed much more. A gift that can make your friend very excited is a box with little things to do every day. They are cardboard boxes from which you can throw “tickets” (like those for shopping) and there are some to be happy every day, to relax, to do some sport, to enjoy photography, to cook… And! Many more!
A scarf for the winter
Something that is always appreciated is a scarf or scarf for the winter. It is the typical complement that never hurts and that you will use for sure during those cold months. You should think about whether it is more of a very warm cotton scarf or, on the contrary, those accessories overwhelm you and you prefer a more subtle scarf. You can take risks with the colors if you dare, although in this sense, the basic prints and plains never fail and are highly combinable.
The map to scratch off your travels
Does your friend travel a lot? Do you plan to travel more in the coming years? In recent times, maps to scratch off the countries you have traveled to have become very fashionable. It is a way of recording the destinations you have been to and accompanying them with photos of all those countries. In addition, one of the things that makes you most excited when you return from a trip abroad is to scratch that country and think about what the next one will be. Have you thought that it can be a good gift for Christmas? You have them in large poster format, XXL also in the form of a cork so that, instead of scratching, your friend can poke the places visited with thumbtacks.
A travel kit
As we have been saying, of the things that are given away the most and, furthermore, that are most taken advantage of are those that have to do with travel because – let’s face it – we make more or less trips, we all pack our suitcases more than twice a year! So here is a very useful idea: a travel kit! You can adapt this kit to your budget and put everything you want in it: starting with the toiletry bags and transparent bottles for liquids that can be put on a plane, going through clothing organizers or suitcase identifiers and ending with small leather bags to carry passport, cards or accessories in the handbag. The possibilities are endless and a gift like this will always, always come in handy.
A kit of organic masks
We do not take care of our face as much as we would like but we must from time to time. If as a friend you think that your friend needs it, there are special packs with several organic masks to give away and use from time to time, in afternoons or nights of gossip, wine and movies. They are made of different materials, for different things (exfoliation, hydration …) and with different scents.
A game for when all your friends get together
If you and your friend get together from time to time to celebrate things at home, enjoy time with friends, toast the good times together and take advantage of those moments to play with the group, this is the perfect gift! You can give your friend a game to enjoy together or specifically a drinking game to have a good laugh on those nights. Up to you!
An erotic game to play with your partner
It has always been said: “confidence is disgusting” and when we have such confidence with our friend that we are able to tell each other and talk about everything, we also have it to give ourselves. If you want to make him a little happier you can look for an erotic game for him to start and enjoy with his partner. He will love it!
A play
Giving away time to enjoy together is, without a doubt, one of the best things that can be done for a friendship. So don’t think about it! Many times we don’t make plans like this anymore because we don’t have time to plan them, so if they give it to you, it’s perfect. Choose a fun play to enjoy together and prepare a night with friends to have a great time.
A beer tasting to do together
Imagine: a weekend of friends and tastings. Flat! Therefore, you can shoot for this type of event to give away at Christmas. It is not something that is done regularly, you will have a great time, you will make a different plan together, you can add whoever you want and, in addition, you will become some beer experts.
Wireless headphones
Is your friend one of those who goes to the gym? Does he go for a run? Do you take public transport to work? There are many moments during the day when we like to plug in our headphones, press play and turn the volume up to enjoy a good soundtrack. However, it will be easier if these headphones are not plugged (literally) to the mobile and are wireless. If your friend does not have them, it will still be an incredible gift accompanied by good sound and greater mobility of movements without the cable getting caught.
