Select a Gift for a Girl

Friends' birthdays come up on your calendar as important days to remember. It's great to be able to celebrate a special day with your best friend. But choosing a gift for her isn't always easy. Fortunately, this article is here to rescue you with suggestions.

Steps

  1. Think about your friend's interests. Is she a lover of music? Does she watch a lot of movies? Your gift will depend upon her personality, so choose one according to her likes and/or hobbies. Consider picking an item that will be of much use to her, preferably one that won't be set on a shelf and forgotten about. For example, if she loves sports, purchase athletic shoes for her.
    • Books and journals are great choices for a bookworm/writer. Bookstores often sell these items in a variety of styles and colors.
    • Plain T-shirts and iron-on patches bring delight to a girl who loves to design clothes. A sewing kit is also an excellent choice.
    • You can never go wrong with a sketchbook and drawing pencils for your artistic friend. Be sure to choose a good brand when selecting art supplies. Make sure the quality of the paper is good; otherwise, your friend's drawings may become easily smudged.
  2. Consider purchasing clothing or accessories for your friend. Find items in colors that she likes, making sure that they complement her skin tone and her body shape. If you aren't sure about her style, a gift card to her favorite store is a great choice. Be sure that you load a decent amount of money on it.
  3. If you're having trouble, gift cards are the next best choice. That way, she can choose an item on her own, and you know she'll like it. Avoid being cheap and slipping a low amount of money on the card. Good store choices are: JCPenney, Macy's, Payless ShoeSource, Pac Sun, Aeropostale, and American Eagle.

Tips

  • Scratch out any price stickers if they remain stubbornly stuck to the item.
  • Gather information about your friend's interests and hobbies before her birthday.
  • Avoid expensive gifts unless if your friend is close to you.
  • Gather your creativity and imagination to make a gift for your friend. This will be more personal and show that you really do care for her.

Warnings

  • Don't spend too much money.
