Hello!
How do you decide what to buy your best friends? It’s a
problem I come across each and every year when I start to put together the
Christmas gift pile. It isn’t quite the same as buying for family members; you
know that if your mum decides to exchange whatever you bought her that it isn’t
the end of the world, but you always feel a little pang of disappointment if
you don’t get the right gifts for the girls.
Over the years though, I’ve come up with some present ideas
that have gone down a storm, so I thought I’d share them with you in case the
panic is starting to set in.
Time for a treat
If your friends are the kind that like to have a weekly
pampering session, or if they’d love to but never seem to find the time, then why
not try buying them a gift that will help them to make time? If your budget is
a little on the tighter side this year, pick up a pampering gift set by a spa
company like Champney’s; from body creams and bath oils that will help them relax
at the end of a hard day’s work, to luxury manicure and pedicure products –
you’re bound to find something that they’ll love.
If you have a little more to spend though, why not look on
sites like Treatwell and Groupon for spa day offers at country manors and 5
star hotels? You’ll be top of the Christmas card list from now on if you
present them with this at your next get-together!
High-quality
jewellery
A charm bracelet or gemstone necklace is the perfect gift
for a best friend. Not only can you pick the charm yourself which says
something about their personality, but you can match it with a stone that
carries spiritual properties or says something about your friendship.
For example, you could pick out a beautiful beaded bracelet
made from pink Aventurine, which is a calming stone and a symbol of your strong
friendship, and add a Hamsa Hand charm to represent protection, bringing
happiness, luck, health and good fortune. The fact that you can be so personal
with this kind of gift makes it completely unique to the wearer, and there’s a
huge selection of these pieces on ChloBo.co.uk.
Winter accessories
Let’s not forget that Christmas is only really the beginning
of the winter weather, with a lot of the cold, blustering winds continuing well
into March. With this in mind, beautifully patterned scarfs, wraps and hats will
always be welcomed gifts.
I’ve always had a fantastic reception when I’ve given my
friends leather gloves or luxurious fur scarfs, but of course, winter also
means plenty of parties, so don’t rule out looking for matching clutch bags and
shawls. Now they can transform that simple black dress into a stunning cocktail
ensemble.
Do you have any more ideas for what you can buy your best
friend?
