How to Find the Perfect Gift for Your Friends

1.      Brainstorm

Brainstorming is a great way to get your brain juices flowing. Sit down and think of gifts that your friends might like. Remember that there is no such thing as bad ideas while brainstorming. All ideas are valid candidates for your gift of choice until you find that special gift.

While brainstorming, consider looking on Pinterest, Instagram, or Etsy for gift ideas. Some of the best gifts are found by random searches online. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box and look for ideas from other places.

If your friends have Pinterest, look on their boards for ideas too. Their social media boards will tell you exactly what they want.

2.      Pick a Gift Based on Their Personality and Interests

Gifts are only great if they are of value to the person receiving them. Make sure your friend loves their gift by getting them something that reflects their personality or interests.

The easiest way to find gifts based on a personality or hobby is to Google it. For example, if your friend loves hiking, google “Best gifts for hikers.” You will find countless gift ideas and buying guides specific to this hobby.

3.      Consider Incorporating a Shared Interest or Memory

If you want to kick your gift-giving up a notch, consider picking a gift that incorporates your friendship into it. This can be through a shared memory or shared interest. Either way, make your friend feel extra special by including your friendship into the gift. Not only will they feel special, but they will also think of your friendship every time they look at it.

If your friend is in a fraternity or sorority with you, consider getting them Greek Life gifts. Greek Life gifts will both be useful and make your friend think of your shared memories made over your college career.
