5 BFF Gift Ideas

5 BFF Gift IdeasYou don’t need a special occasion to make your best friend feel special and important to you. Whether it’s a mother, a sister, a childhood friend that you are inseparable from, or a new friendship that has blossomed into a deep bond, let your bff know how much you love and appreciate them with a simple “Just because” gift. The best part about these types of gifts is that they don’t need to be extravagant. The thought alone will leave a lasting impression. Here’s a list of thoughtful, yet budget friendly gifts that are sure to be a hit.

For the coffee drinker

If you and your bestie are dedicated coffee or tea drinkers, customizable best friend mugs are the perfect gift, not only for your friend, but for the both of you to enjoy together. Anytime you get a chance to customize items to make it personal, it makes the item that much more special and holds sentimental value for the receiver. If you’d like to take it a step further, invite your best friend over for a beverage and surprise them by bringing it out in the mug you made for them. The best gifts are the ones that are unexpected.

For the fashionista

What girl doesn’t like new additions to her closet? Tops for women from Poppy & Dot are not only budget friendly and come in an assortment of casual looks, they’re stylish too! Gifting a casual top over a dressy one is recommended for several reasons. For one, a casual top can be worn for everyday style — running errands, hanging out with friends, working from home, etc. Another reason is if your friend isn’t a fan of the top, instead of hurting your feelings, she can wear it as loungewear or sleepwear.

For the workaholic

There’s nothing better than being able to relax after a stressful work day. Essential oils are a way to use aromatherapy as a way to relax and relieve stress. If your bestie works around the clock, chances are she doesn’t have the time to pamper herself with long baths or a day at the spa. In her case, look for items such as shower steamer tablets that can turn her daily shower into 10 minutes of eucalyptus euphoria, an Oil Diffuser Kit to place on her nightstand so she can relax while smelling hints of lavender to help her take a load off, or an assortment of oil rollers that she can apply to her wrists or behind her ears whenever she’s feeling too stressed. Gifts like these show how much you’ve paid attention to conversations about her work days.

For the mom

Whether your bestie is new to the parent club or a seasoned pro, kids are a full-time job that keep you busy day in and day out, especially if they’re younger. Sending a care package with a few items such as bath bombs, sheet masks, foot masks and lotions will give her a reason to take that bath she’s planning but never gets around to. It will also give her the “me” time she desperately needs but that doesn’t happen because she is too busy putting her kids first. Care packages like these let your bestie know that you’re on top of her well-being even at times when she’s not.

For the cook

Is your bestie the world’s greatest chef or baker? Or maybe they’re neither and just love to cook. Small gifts like measuring cups and spoons are kitchen utensils you can never have enough of. Mixing bowls are always needed as a chef and baker, and placing a new cookbook inside one of them is sure to get your bestie excited about getting back in the kitchen to try new recipes. Who knows, maybe they’ll invite you over for dinner so that you can enjoy the gift as well.

Small gestures to let your best friend know you’re thinking of them will always be appreciated no matter the gift. The point is to do it so they know how much they’re loved.

3 Things to Get Your Mom for Mother’s Day

3 Things to Get Your Mom for Mother's DayMothers are an integral part of every person’s life. They not only care for us once we are born; they are the reason we alive. For that reason, it is important to celebrate them, especially on Mother’s Day.

Wine baskets are a particularly popular option among mothers, regardless of age. With this option, you can choose whether you would like the basket to be all dark wines, light wines, sweet wines, dry wines, or a couple of bottles of each. You can also add some simple items that go with wine, whether it is chocolate, cheese, or crackers.

Original Artwork

If your mother is not one for food gifts, a piece of original artwork might be a good choice. You can easily preview and buy original art online so you do not even have to leave your house. Original artwork does not only include paintings though. In fact, it also includes original jewelry, something many women love. If your mother likes original, unique items, she may enjoy receiving original artwork as a gift.

Subtle Gifts

If your mom does not enjoy things as much, a good gift may be to get some chores done around the house. Most mothers have to accept the fact that many things on her to-do list will not be completed. If you can do some of those things for her, you will be giving her a great gift. Another subtle gift would be to make your mother’s favorite meal and insist on cleaning up after. The more subtle gifts you can do, the more your mother will notice and the happier she will be.

Gift giving on Mother’s Day does not have to be difficult. If you simply pay attention to what she likes, wants, and needs, you will be sure to get the perfect gift for her every time.
