best friend birthday gift ideas?




Jessie<3


two of my friends have their birthdays coming up, and i dont know what to get them! ahhhh!! if you have any gift ideas, please please let me know asap! theyre both turning 16, neither are getting anything to do with a car/license, and i would like to spend no more than $25-30....

thank you so much!!
friend #1: she is a newer friend; i have know her for years but we just got close this past year. she likes all the things that an average teenage girl would. is OBSESSED with the High School musical movies as well as Harry Potter

friend #2: she has been one of my best friends FOREVER! this year she changed alot so i dont feel that i know her all that well. she likes girly things, like nailpolish (paints her nails every night- usually with a really cool design), im not really sure how she is with makeup, but she has extensions and dyes her hair alot (idk if that means anything). she kind of likes vintage, or things that are a bit daring and not everyone loves. i want to do something with pictures, but i have a total of three photos of us, so if you can think of something, that would be FABULOUS!


HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!1



Answer
For friend #1, you could make like a basket or something with all the movies in it and then little themed things to go along with that movie. then, (i don't know if this is cheesy or not), you could make a little 'gift certificate' that says you will watch all the movies with her and have like a movie sleep over with her some day.


For friend #2, do you have any like movie stubs, or any memories and stuff from the things you've done with her? you could make a small memory type book, but I dont know how hard that will be with only 3 pictures. or else like I suggested for friend number 1, you could make a cool little basket for her with a bunch of girly stuff or a few different $5 gift cards for places. or maybe offer to spend the day with her doing something fun. OR since you said you didn't talk to her much, the two of you could go out to dinner (your treat) and catch up. something fun like that! :)

Good luck! Friends can be hard to buy for

Need ideas for a 30th birthday gift.?




Scarlett


She's my husbands best friends wife.
Stuck up is too harsh of a word. She can be fun, but I will say she's very "PROPER".
She prefers the finer things in life. We are a family on a tight budget.
I don't know what kind of party this is going to be yet.
HELP!



Answer
OK, I would NEVER buy a gift to try and 'keep up with the Jones'. I like my gifts to either say something about me, OR that will be totally different to anything else the person will receive. Money does NOT talk (IMHO). If it was ME, I would appeal to the 'fun' side of this woman. Give her 30 X 30 'useless items' (Because people dread turning 30)......
30 X Spent Matches,
30 X Grains of sand
30 X Used lottery tickets
30 X Take away menus
......you get the idea. It wont cost much...but, by the time you FIND 30 examples of 30 useless things, and wrap them up in lovely wrapping...no one will be in any doubt as to how much THOUGHT and TIME has been put into it - and it will be NOTING like ANYTHING she will have been given before!
The last thing people with money appreciate is an expensive gft -if they WANTED 'that' they will have already bought it themselves! Appeal to the PERSON, rather than the bank balance!
Always works for me, anyway!
