How to shop for a friend

Give gifts the personal touch.

For my friend Josh's 18th Birthday, i decided to personalise a beer mug, i forgot to take a picture of the final product, but i made a few changes. Filling the mug with Chupa Chup lollipops & party poppers. I also stuck an 18 sticker on the back of the mug!










Jordan's Birthday


We went to eat at this cute little Mexican bar, in the Arcadian Birmingham.



Present time!!

David & goliath - i love nerds tee

because girls love chocolate!

the presentation of a gift is just as important, i usually grab a cute gift bag, and fill it up with sweets, confetti & party poppers!

Simone's Birthday

I missed one of my besties birthday's because i was in Spain, so the week before i went on holiday we went for a day out shopping and grabbed a bite to eat at Wagamamas. She chose what she wanted, but to add a personal touch i also gave her a picture frame and inside her card i put the choice of two pictures to put in the frame.
If all else fails, and you really don't know what to get your friend, head out for a shopping trip and let your friend choose for her/him self or just see what they like and go back to buy it.
So, here are just a few gift ideas. And gifts I've given the past month. I don't know about you, but two months out of the year are jam packed full of Birthdays! It's like, everyone i know has a Birthday in July or/ September! As much as i love the celebration process.. It's a dreaded month for my piggy bank.. !

Just think about what your friend is into, what reminds you of them? Making things personal makes the best impact, and your gift will be remembered! :)
hope this helps! xo
