Selecting Creative Just Because Gifts

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!

You know what your friends' likes and dislikes are. Their personalities will also give clues as to what they would enjoy the most. Count out your coins from your piggy bank and figure out what is available to spend on your most precious people. Think about what small gesture would would make them the happiest and go from there.

Flowers are always wonderful to receive but forget the traditional and commonplace rose or carnation. Choose a bloom that is the flower of the month she was born, an delicate iris at the beginning of spring, a small pot of mums during fall, or a tiny poinsettia for the holidays. Tuck a bright bloom under her windshield wipers to surprise her in the morning or lay a small bouquet on her pillow before she goes to bed.

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 special in that they are from the heart. The cost, size or where you bought or made it doesn't matter, it is always the thought that counts and your recipients will know it. You must be a friend first to have friends, so surprising those you love with these small expressions of caring and thoughtfulness will make you the best friend ever.
